Finally made it to Sunnyside to try the popular salteñas.
Squeeze the chicken to get service, that was a fun exercise and unique. Order at the counter, there's no seating.
I got the beef salteña and the sopa de mani. The salteña was worth the wait! Super savory and filling, the green sauce is the perfect accompaniment. It took me about 40mins to get home at which point it wasn't as soupy but still quite delicious. It was too cold to eat it fresh at the window of the store. I think these may be made fresh as there was ~15 min wait after ordering. The sopa de mani (peanut soup) was something brand new to me. It was quite savory and rich. It was like the peanut version of clam chowder. The crispy shoestring fries was great.
Went to the place on the way home from Queens Center.
It was a little hole in the wall. There was only outdoor seating. The service was good. It was a wait for the food because they were busy and the food was fresh.
We got a series of dishes that were good! They definitely were more of a modern style of Bolivian food.
Everything had good flavors and they give you a lot of food!

Bolivian Llama Party 🇧🇴🦙❤️ So many things to say about this place… to start, service is always great, people at the counter, and the owners, that sometimes take care of you, are always kind, nice and extremely helpful! Then the food, OMG, best truffle fries you can try in NY, Salteñas are always a good to go (chicken is my favorite!!), all the bowls are delicious, their chicken sandwiches, veggie choices, everything is amazing there, I am not even vegetarian but I love their jackfruit sandwiches! One of the best places in Sunnyside for sure, I highly recommend trying BLP, they never disappoint! ☺️

Their beef saltenas are out of this world. Perfectly marinated beef in a thick delicious gravy in a flavorful crust. Went there on a Sunday afternoon. No inside seating, just a hole in the wall place with two tables outside. Worth every detour in the world. Simply amazing!

The salteñas are as good as everyone says, but don’t sleep on the kale salad with quinoa and perfectly cooked chicken. Their fries are amazing too. And the staff is always friendly and helpful.
