New Store + New Menu Items 

Fried chicken sandwich with tomato, lettuce, sauce, and fries on the side

While salteñas will always be a staple of our menu, we wanted bring DC more! So, we added a few more Bolivian street food classics plus some custom creations from our kitchen. Some of the new items worth stopping by for include, our sandwich de pollo — chicken, fried to a perfect golden brown, slathered with a spicy peanut sauce set between freshly baked buns — and don’t miss our papa rellenas — deep fried mashed potatoes, surrounding your choice of beef or cheese.
