The 25 Best Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"A single bite of the salteña and you know there’s sorcery going on behind this walk-up window in Sunnyside. Bolivian Llama Party’s signature dish is what might happen if an empanada and a soup dumpling listened to a Marvin Gaye album together: a steaming hot, tender, egg-yellow pastry brimming with rich chicken or beef stew. But the rest of the menu is full of sleeper hits. The diablada broster, dusted with purple locoto chile powder, and boosted with a drizzle of scotch bonnet-heavy sauce, is one of our favorite spicy chicken sandwiches. The thinly pounded fried-beef trancapecho is another perfectly engineered sandwich, with rice and potatoes within the cheese-topped sarnita bread. This small-but-mighty restaurant is soon expanding into the space next door, and we couldn’t be more excited." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
