Luzmila’s Restaurant – Falls Church, VA
Every time I make it out to Falls Church, I make it a point to stop by Luzmila’s—and they never disappoint. This visit, I ordered takeout and once again, everything hit the mark.
The revueltas pupusas were as satisfying as ever—gooey, cheesy, with that perfect balance of pork and beans. Paired with their curtido, which is fresh, tangy, and perfectly seasoned, it’s the kind of combination that makes you slow down and savor every bite.
This time – I ate it way too fast before I remembered to take a picture.) ;(
One of the reasons I keep coming back is the chicken salteñas—always consistent in quality and flavor. The pastry is soft and just slightly sweet, the filling is juicy and flavorful, and there’s never a dry bite. && of course the green sauce just tops off the sweet, savory fillings. I love getting a bite w/ the olives or an egg- my favorites!!
This time, I branched out and also tried both the chicken and beef empanadas, and they were a hit. Generously filled, super juicy, and packed with bold, savory flavor—these might become a new go-to when I come back.
Luzmila’s has a rare consistency you don’t often find. Even though I only get to this area every few months, I always know what I’m getting: delicious food made with care. Highly recommend!
The very first thing we ordered was a couple of Salteña empanadas. One chicken, one empanada. Because that is all I pretty much knew about Bolivian cuisine since I’m not Bolivian myself. My fiancée is. Since she is from Santa Cruz, she looked for her regional cuisine. But all she found was the Amazonian Cheese Bread cruceños know as Cuñapé. The restaurant mostly focuses on Andean Bolivian cuisine. Which is fine by me.
After we ate a piece of Cuñapé, we proceeded to order a Fricasé soup, Andean Pork Soup, to share. I really liked it. I had not had it since my childhood when I visited Bolivia at the age of five. So it brought me a few memories. Just like Humitas do. Because we also eat them in my native Peru. Not for nothing we are neighbors.
The best part of our big meal at the restaurant was our respective entrees. My fiancée ordered a Mixed Escabeche which she had not eaten since she left Bolivia many years ago. I did not try it because I did not like eating Escabeche as a child growing up in Southern Peru. Therefore I ordered a Plato Paceño, or Paceño Platter. I fell in love with the dish. I only wished they offered Peruvian Huancaina sauce but I know the restaurant is Bolivian, not Peruvian.
The next time I go back to the DC area with my fiancée, I am definitely going back to this restaurant with her. We do not mind them not offering many Bolivian Amazonian dishes. Because we loved the Andean dishes they offer. You cannot pass on Salteña empanadas at Bolivian restaurant. Those empanadas are their signature dish. The owner and her servers did definitely earn our business. Five Stars!
This restaurant. I ordered 4 salteñas, sopa de kawi and chicharron. Chicharron was extremely dry, the salteñas were NOT fully cooked and the sopa de kawi was made with chicken, and chicken was raw. When I called they hung up the phone on me, started accusing me that I didn’t buy food from them, and they refused to refund me my money. I still have the receipt from this restaurant. Unfortunately my experience was not good and as a Bolivian I do not recommend this restaurant. I had put the salteñas back into the oven because they were so undercooked. Check your orders before you leave their restaurant if you decide to order from them. No estaba bien hecho la comida no se vale asi no deben tratar mal a sus clientes. I had to put the salteñas back in the oven for them to cook.
We also tried sopa de mani, Fricasé and Chairo. Chairo flavor was good, but I was surprised they made it with chicken and beef as Chairo is with 6 it is the “chalona” that gives the true flavor. Moconchichi drink was good.
