OMG!! I was blown away by how delicious the food is here!
My lovely girlfriend is Bolivian & is a great cook. But when we feel like eating at a Bolivian restaurant, we USED to go with her family to a different well-known place here in Northern VA. To be honest, the food, decor, service & atmosphere at that OTHER place left me with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth (pardon the pun) about Bolivian food in general.
But one day, we were shopping in Sterling, and on a whim, we decided to give this place - Betty's - a try. Thank God we did!!!
Absolutely EVERYTHING we had was SO delicious! Everything from the bread they start you off with (get some extra to take home) to the appetizer (Saltanas) to the main course. I didn't get any dessert, because I was STUFFED & happy.
Since that first time we went, we've gone back a few times, and even I'm surprised (and a little embarrassed) to say that whenever my sweetheart even mention's Betty's Restaurant, my mouth starts to water! lol
My favorite & recommended courses include: The Lomo a la Chorrellana, The Milanesa de Pollo (or de Carne). My kids really liked the Pique a lo Macho (steak, hot dogs & fries mixed together). The carne asada is also freakin' incredible!
I'm a well-traveled American who speaks Spanish. But it really doesn't matter where you're from. If you like good food at a decent price in a CLEAN environment, then this is a surprisingly great place to eat.
Quick fun-fact: I was so taken with the food that I asked to meet the owner, Betty, personally, so I could thank her & give her a hug in a appreciation. I don't often do that. :)
Eat at Betty's! You'll love it!
