Bakery Bread & Grill

As a Bolivian myself, I'm always on the lookout for dishes that remind me of home. I had the silpancho, which was cooked to perfection. The peach drink was a delightful pairing. I also tried the empanada de queso and the huminta al horno, that really hit the spot. While I found the treats to be decent, they were not quite as memorable as the savory meal. That said, it is all a matter of preference, I have had some that were a bit better. Nevertheless, if I find myself in the area again, I would not hesitate to stop by for a delish meal. Note: Service was ok, from the looks of it many just order takeout.

This generically-named Bolivian bakery & restaurant has both a take-out area and dine-in space. The dine-in space is small so don't bring a group, even getting a table for more than three is a stretch. The service is quite friendly.*Saltenas: I love these savory pastries. These come in beef or chicken as filling. They taste hot (gotta be careful eating these with the liquid pouring out with each bite) and fresh. The stew filling is perfectly seasoned. *Picante de lengua: This is on the weekend special menu. It's stewed beef tongue with rice & potatoes. This may be the most tender slow-cooked beef tongue I've ever eaten, and the stew seasoning is delicious. The menu reads "spicy" and I sensed no heat whatsoever, but in no way was this dish bland.*Alfajores: These cookies are quite large size and look really appetizing behind the glass bakery display. Delicious, not too sweet, but still full of flavor. *Humintas: I love these corn cakes wrapped in corn husk! Such an upgrade from typical American cornbread. Tastes less dough-y, and has more actual corn kernels inside. One of the best Bolivian restaurants in this area for sure. I'll be back! It's just a shame that the dining space is so small so I can't bring a larger group. The only other point of reference I have for Bolivian food is Pan American in Alexandria, which has a similar menu, *slightly* lower prices, and a larger dining space, with similar food taste, but less friendly service than Bakery Bread & Grill.

What a great find! Coffee wonderful, and we had spinach and feta croissant not to be missed. We had a cheese empanada in a banana leaf. Wow. So yummy. I'm going back!

I had the tipica for breakfast here today awesome food at an awesome price ($11.90). Service was very pleasant and prompt. They do awesome south/central American cuisine based on the steady flow of clientele. Very nice I'llbe back

This Bolivian restaurant is a hidden gem! The place suffers from a bad business name but don't be fooled. The food here is to die for. I've been a regular at this place for a while!If you don't know what to order, here is my recommendation for your first try. Get Silpancho which is thinly rolled beef fried with bread crumps served on oiled up rice, slices of potatoes, eggs and onion, tomato combo to bring some balance. This dish is so good that I have to keep coming back. I also like the fact that every time I came, the taste is exactly the same - super consistent. Just beware, the portion is HUGE! If you don't eat a lot, this can easily be two meals. Pair it with freshly made Horchata drink! Then get Alfajores for dessert. Amazing food!The place is quite small so I wouldn't bring a big party. I'd be surprised if they can serve 15 customers comfortably. The decor is also not there but I'm not really complaining here. This is not that kind of restaurant. You come here for the authentic food. Communication could be a challenge as I found not all waitresses speak fluent English. However, that shouldn't matter after you read this review because you already know what to order! I bet your foodie azs you gon enjoy this gem! lol

First time at this local gem. Arrived after lunch and the seating area was still full. The ladies who helped us were knowledgeable and kind. The woman at the counter offered us menus as we waited and ushered us to a table. Ultimately we ordered Lomo saltado, beef Salteña, and horchata. Guys, the food was really good! As good as the pictures are, they can't tell you how the dishes were seasoned perfectly. The Lomo saltado was the perfect mixture of steak, onions, tomato and peppers all over crispy fried potatoes, served with white rice. The beef mixture of the Salteña was flavorful and I enjoyed the light sweetness of the bread covering of the pie. The horchata delicious but is sold by the glass, with no free refills. But the people were friendly and I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.

This place is next level and amazing ! Francesca is the best at the front and really informed about what's good. Note: everything is amazing. This is my go to place now for Salteña! I think it's better than luzmary

This was the second time I've been here and it does not disappoint. My wife and I were initially recommended this place when we were in the are and wanted a quick bite to eat. Pulling up it is located off a main road an a busy strip mall so parking can get a little difficult to find. When you enter its a tight fit with a bunch of smaller tables and just a long counter for them to display their daily offerings.When we arrived my wife and I tried their saltenas, alfajore and Gyro sandwich. We ordered one chicken and one beef saltena they were fresh made and fairly hot when we tried to eat. They are served with a spicy green sauce that pairs well with them. Biting in they were very delicious, filled with potatoes meat juices and veggies. The dough is nice and thick and has a good flavor. If you are ever on the lookout for good bolivian saltenas this has to be a place to try.We also get the gyro sandwich, and while opening it up it did not look super appealing but once I took a bite I was surprisingly mistaken. It probably thelp that they are right next to a halal market to get the lamb from but it was super tasty combined with the veggies, pita, and feta cheese on top I would definitely not sleep on this offering. We also ordered the alfajore which if I'm being honest was not my favorite but definitely not the worst I've ever had.Suffice it to say we will be traveling back to try some of their entrees!

I love places like this -- locally owned, small business with really nice people. It's a Bolivian bakery with breakfast, lunch and dinner service, mainly South American food. There are only about six tables and the order will arrive quickly. Each day of the week has specials, but Tuesday is my favorite -- Lomo Saltado (you can get it other days too). Come hungry, the portions are large and the food is top-notch. Avoid looking at the delicious cakes and other baked goods -- you'll be tempted to leave with a bag of goodies. You can pick up empanadas to go too.

Service was quick and my food was delicious! I ordered a empanada from the bakery case as well as a napoleon. The empanada was lightly seasoned and tasted very fresh. My napoleon was fantastic! Crispy flaky layers filled with a thick, rich pastry cream. I've been charged a LOT more for much less at other fancy places. This was big enough to share easily and I ordered more to take home!
