Best saltenas I had in USA. The service is great. They had them fresh in the morning and to take out and bake them at home.
Quality empanadas, great staff, be sure to order ahead for large orders and don't forget cash.
Great authentic Bolivian Salteñas, Llauchas, llajua, passancalla and great service! A staple!
Saltenas were delicious and fresh, the lady was very sweet , the place smells so good, fresh bread!!!
These are a blast from the past... they taste like my childhood. One bite of these describes a million memories. Served by a good man from La Paz ! That's where my grandpas from and the service was excellent! The vibe was cool, I felt very honored to be here. Being a 2nd generation I love to see business with bolvians running it. Long live Bolivia ! Yelp rating 100/100 on the saltenas
I love this place. My family has been coming here for decades to pick up salteñas. Highly recommend!!!
I married into a Bolivian family, and we come here for one thing and one thing only, saltenas. I had never heard of a saltena before. Once I had my first one I was hooked. We used to split getting our saltena fix from Beba's and her, but the past two years we strictly have come to the La Rancherita. These are always delicious, hot and never disappoint. The outside of the saltena is a sweet, pastry type bread that is knotted and crunchy on top, soft on the sides. The center has the meat mixture that ties it all together. Only drawback is that over the past few years they have gotten smaller and gotten more expensive. Last weekend here they were $4.50 each. Inflation and shrinkflation hit at the same time. Cash only, so make sure you have some before you arrive. If you have the chance, call the order in so its ready for you. Since we come from out of town, we always call in so they can either be piping hot or sometimes we order them frozen for us to make at home. Also, the parking lot is super tight. I like to just drop someone off to pick up.
My mother in law likes the fresh bread from here for when she makes certain Mexican sandwiches. They make them fresh daily and you can always get them fresh out of the oven. Only draw back is that it is hot as hell in the bakery. Get in and get out quick or you might boil. :)
