Food was pricey and not worth it. Ordered 3 Silpanchos, meat wasn't seasoned properly, rice was mushy and ALL the potatoes were burnt 👎 really wanted to like this place but suggest you try the other bolivian spots in the area

Bought a some sort of cream filled bread. Had mold on the back. Asked for a refund they said they need to talk to the owner and it may take a week. I said if I dont get a refund I will call the health dept. Then she goes in the kitchen to get a guy and he says why you threatening them. I said im not just asking for a refund that she refused to give. All this time not a single apology. He instead made themselves the victim and asked why im like that.

The name is a little misleading. They serve authentic Latin American cuisine. Not a huge place, seating is limited. Consider takeout. I’m a huge fan of their salteñas and fried plantains. Very affordable. Entree portions are generous in my opinion. I’ve only been for lunch and dinner. The bakery case has lots of treats that I need to explore.

I came in and had the Silpancho. For the amount of food, I can see why it was $20. The meat was cooked well, the eggs were over easy, and there was a healthy amount of pico de gallo on top. Underneath, there was some potatoes and rice. The rice?! Oh my god the rice was amazing. It was really nicely seasoned and the entire dish had multiple flavors going on that I didn't get tired of the taste.

As for the service, the staff was nice. There wasn’t much to note, as everything went smoothly and we didn’t need much assistance during our visit.

In general, the food was delicious. The place was a little small, but that's what's makes it a cozy spot. This place makes for a great stop if you're in the area.

I stopped by this small eatery because I saw it was a Bolivian restaurant—and I’m always down to try new ethnic spots, even if they sometimes don’t meet expectations.

I asked the waiter for a recommendation, and she suggested the Silpancho Cochabambino. I was like, okay, let’s go for it.

While I waited, they brought me water and played classic rock over the speakers—Queen, to be specific, which was unexpected but actually kind of vibey. Who doesn’t love a little Queen?

A few minutes later, my food came out and I was like, holy moly, this could feed a whole family. And that wasn’t an exaggeration—I ended up taking some of it home.

The presentation was on point. My main issue was the flavor—it just didn’t have much in my opinion. I even sprinkled a little salt on it, and I’m usually 95% anti-salt. Eating it was also a bit tricky—if you're not careful cutting through everything, the diced veggies spill all over the place. I try to be low-maintenance when I’m out, so that was kind of a mess.

As I made my way through the meat and potato wedges, I finally hit the rice—which, honestly, was my biggest gripe. It was way too soft for me. That might just be how it’s traditionally prepared, though. I personally prefer my rice with a bit more bite.

Also, aside from a spicy green sauce on the side, there wasn’t much else adding flavor to the rice. But again, I’ll take the L on that—it could very well be a “me not knowing the cuisine” thing. If someone told me the rice is meant to be soft and minimally seasoned, I’d adjust my expectations accordingly.

Overall, it was an interesting experience. If I do come back, it’ll probably be to try their baked goods.
