La Salteñeria Empanadas — Restaurant in Salta

Their salteñas are absolutely outstanding - perfect with a deliciously soupy filling (what sets them apart from empanadas).

The restaurant is charming, with a lovely inner courtyard that creates a perfect atmosphere for dining. The staff, though clearly stretched thin, maintain their friendliness even during the busiest times.

Pro tip: Try to arrive before the lunch rush for the best experience. During peak hours, the wait can stretch up to an hour, though the salteñas are worth the patience. If you're in a hurry, their takeaway service tends to move more quickly.

While the service could be speedier with more staff, the exceptional quality of their salteñas makes this place a must-visit. You simply won't find better...

We also had a small bottle of a locally produced lime soda which was super good. We liked it so much. We’re...

They are prepared on the spot, juicy and extremely tasty. My favourite one was the Potosina, but they are all very good. And the salsa is one of the best tomato salsas I have ever tried. The desert was a must as it was too eyecatching as to forgo. Oh, and the interior courtyard with the tables under the blue sky and surrounded by potted plans also contributed to the whole...
