Parked and was able to order fast. There’s no indoor eating and you order at the window. They have tables outside.
I got the Trancapecho and the chicken Salteña. Said the wait was 10-15 minutes. The lady was really nice.
The Trancapecho was somewhat disassembled and had to put it together. It was good and very big. Ate it and was very fulfilled. It was a new nice of meat preparation for me. 8/10
The chicken Salteña was also good. Kind of like a meat and veg pastry. Couldn’t finish it in one go. So full already. 7.5/10
Overall was a good experience. 8/10 - a must try.
Personally liked the Beef salteña over the Chicken salteña. Dough reminded me of beef patti with a slight crisp and were not raw. Highly recommend pairing them with the green sauce which made the meal better than good. Thought the rubber chicken was comical as a doorbell (there is an actual doorbell by the window) and outdoor seating only from I have seen.

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.

Small spot putting out big flavors in Sunnyside. The beef saltenas were soupy, savory, and surprisingly filling. Our server Valeria was amazing, helping us pack up even more food to take for later 🤤.
Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to!

Great Bolivian food, the fries and jackfruit bowl were great. Mac and cheese could use more spice. I adored the salteñas the most
