Reviews of Luzmary Bolivian Restaurant (Restaurant)

Exiled Fromlight

Solid Bolivian food menu. Management needs to understand that is a bad idea to add directly 15% tip in the grand total. Customers have the right to tip 10, 15, 18%, or whatever amount they feel like it.

Victor Santiago

La atención fue buena, el sabor del chairo estaba muy lejos del autentico , mucha papa picada, un pedacito de carne de res, dos pedazos pequeños de pollo. El fricase abundante ,cuatro pedazos de cerdo no tenía sabor a fricase sin embargo estaba agradable. Precio alto por lo recibido e incluyen la gratitud en la cuenta y luego dejan la posibilidad de dejar una propina (acaso gratitud 15% mas una propina, no es pagar dos veces una propina)

Edgar Garcia Hernandez

Good food

Joel Benson

This review is for the salteñas only. The dough is very thin which I like because sometimes it's to thick with to much dough. The taste of the filling is very tasty. These are my favorite salteñas.

carlos Aguirre

Absolutely good experience, I found everything that I need, employee's very helpful, no doin I do recommend to anyone out here to have the same experience

Best alternative to Victors Grill. If you like Victors Grill, you will love Luzmary (and your wallet will thank you). We ordered salteñas and lomo montado. The salteñas were absolutely delicious, a bit spicy hot, but perfect size and great taste. The lomo montado is similar to the one at Victors Grill but much more affordable, very tasty and tender. Staff is friendly and polite, the place was clean, tables and chairs are comfy, a well organized place. Great place for families.

It's my 1st time eating Bolivian food, and I enjoyed my meal. Good food, good portions, good price. I enjoyed their cheese topped bread rolls made inhouse. The only thing that I disliked was that your clothes gets a bit smelly, other than that it's GOOD.

Derlin Baires

Awesome food !!

jaime perez

Where Luzmilas went to after selling. The previous Luzmilas restaurant. So glad I found it!

Judy Bloom

Maggie Hurtado

Delicious savory food!

Ken Healy

I've lived nearby for years, and I am terribly sorry it took me so long to try Luzmary. It sounds like I got lucky in that it was not busy when I went. I started with a beef salteña, which came with a cup of fresh jalapeño relish. Absolutely brilliant! My main course was the huevos rancheros which was served with slices of fresh goat cheese and slices of fresh avocado. My only regret was that I ate it too fast. Everything was amazing, and the portions were great. The waiter was extremely polite, and I can't wait to go back!

Great food, prices and people. Helps if you speak spanish but not necessary. Also the waitresses are super hot!

silvio guerrero

Food is fair, servers are not very professional, it's just an ok experience p

Paul Meeks

Excellent food as always....many times, however, the waiters dissapear after the food comes. Otherwise, they get 5 stars.

Definitivamente nuestra primera y ultima vez en este lugar. No es un ambiente familiar parece cantina tienen la música muy alta como si se tratara de fiesta muy incomodo para compartir en familia, el servicio deficiente el mesero que nos atendio no esta capacitado, del resto no tengo certeza. re lento para tomar la orden y para recibir la orden mucho más. La planchita para 2 exageradamente lleno de aceite. Y la salchipapa mal hecha papas rechinadas y salchicha con un sabor extraño para nada agradable. No recomomendable.

Carla Sein Helguero

I order a pariada for 2 and the meat had a wired taste to it. Not good at all. My second time coming her.

Patrick Fahey

Great place if you're interested more in the food then atmosphere. The food and portions are great. Can get a bit crowded which means taking a little longer in your meal getting to you. But you won't be disappointed in the meal.

Daryl Strom

The food was great and a good deal too. I was hesitant at first because the outside doesn't look great and there was no one in there, but the inside was clean and the food was really good. I had the steak and eggs dinner plate.

Richard Via

Delicious Bolivian food, like mama used to make at home.

So good

Justin Johnston

A comfortable, informal atmosphere with incredibly flavorful food. I had a bit of the steak and the tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Service was quick and helpful. I had a margarita and I'm pretty sure it was from a mix, but it had enough tequila in it to give them a pass. Driving afterwards would be a challenge, so I'm glad I walked. Stumbled.

ABC-Computers-Repair

Best place to eat like a king, maybe because we know the taste, the tradition and the style of the food, the time to prepare too, because the scratch food is not like the fast food, so ....... please make sure you have time to wait for a fresh food

Philip Rosen

One of the best Bolivian restaurants. Amazing Salteñas

Derek Jarrels

Excellent food, prices and service... will definitely return

Pinar Erturan

Great saltenas

Mauricio

Great Bolivian place with options for food of other countries. Try the saltenas, best in town.

sarah p

Portions were great, fresh baked bread with the meal. It was delicious. I'll be back.

Laurine Onza

Food is great BUT service for that day was horrible, it was my first time going. We basically seated ourselves and ordered water for everyone, the water came about 10 min before we got our food that took about 45 minutes to come out. We were served bottled water- we just asked for regular water... I guess tap water wasn't available? I don't know. I ordered buffalo wings for my nine year old and after eating about three wings, he came across a wing that was still raw in the middle. We told and showed our server in English and Spanish (Jennyfer) but she didn't do anything about it. I ordered the 3 amigos, delicious and generous portion but I wasn't asked how I wanted my steak, it was rare. So just make sure specify EVERYTHING!

Efrain Chavez

great salteñas!

Rose Stark

We love the food at this place.

Richard Hunter

This is authentic food. It is good. You should go. I did not pay so i can not comment on price. I arrived late so i did not even see the menu. The restaurant is not a new building. It has a "hole-the-wall" feel. But every one of my Bolivian in laws liked it even if my mother-in-law said her chairo soup is better than theirs.

Kevin Cisney

Feels like a homemade South American meal. I never lived in Bolivia, but I did live in South America for a couple of years, and this was a pleasant, nostalgic surprise.

Bill Wall

Very good Bolivian food...this side of Bolivia of course....also just bought 12 saltanas to take home...hope they're as good as Hamacas of Santa Cruz, Bolivia!

Simon Chang

There were no tables on a busy Sunday. The server told me there was a "seat" at their "bar"... well I would are in their salteñas in their broom closet if they told me to. 5 stars.

j v

Very good food, nice location, plenty of parking. Humitas are good, choclo is awesome.

Franklin Mercado

Hands down the best bolivian food in NOVA. Their salteñas are everithing.

Brezy Rivas

Absolutely love their Salteñas!!! Great Bolivian food. Open late. And great on a budget!!

Sherri Marquez

I'm just going to say it. I love saltenas. I live in Florida and when I visit my daughter in Maryland I make the trip to Virginia to buy a couple of dozen saltenas to freeze and take back to Florida. If you are unacquainted with saltenas, they are similar to but much better than empanadas. The palm sized pies have a thin golden crust stuffed with a juicy stew like filling of beef or chicken and vegetables, baked and served with llajwa (hot green chili sauce). Previously I ordered them from Luzmilla's in Falls Church. They were superb. I understand that she sold her restaurant and Luzmary is her granddaughter. The name is not the only thing that is different. The saltenas are not nearly as good. They don't have the same flavor or juiciness and the crust was on the sweet side. I prefer my saltenas to be more savory. Frankly, they were a disappointment and I will not be making the trip to buy them again.

Christian Leanos

On Thursday I had sopa de mani and chicharrón. 5 star! The service was amazing! On Saturday I had Falso conejo and picante. Not so great. I give it a 2 or 3 stars. Service was disappointing on this day.

Juan Rojas

I loved this bolivian place, authentic bolivian! Friendly service. Good atmosphere, recommended

lapazcreed

The salteñas are the best in the DMV area

Chris Araya

Great salteñas. Food is ready when they say it will be. Only ordered take out but would definitely drive in. The interior is like most hole in the wall Latin joints in the DMV area especially NOVA but that's a good thing. Casual but classy.

Mariana Andrade-Bejarano

Salteñas, salteñas, salteñas. Their food is amazing - but if you go anyplace else for salteñas, you will have missed what this place is most known for.

stephany uriostegui

Up in CT we don't have Bolivian restaurants. We were visiting Virginia and found luzmary on the way home. Their salteñas are really good. Highly recommend.

christopher cook

Excellent place for Bolivian food! We had Parrillada for two and it was amazing. Service was excellent and prices good. Looks like Bolivian Parrillada is better than Argentinian Parrillada. The menu has so many delicious choices that we will have to go back soon and try them. ( I have been told that their saltena is famous so ... next time ).

Carlos González

I dont have words. Nothing like Luzmillas down the street..

Ernest Ross

This restaurant is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. when I want to go to a good lunch, this is the place that comes first to my mind. exeptionalgorgeous and many types of food and a large list of dishes.generous staff, and agreeable spirit. Also important, the expence is modest. I tell about this place with pleasure.

Amazing food

Giovanni Amatore

Luzmary's is a delicacy that is found in the heart of Virginia. Not centralized in the middle of the city or the packed retail locations you'd find elsewhere, but where the people are. You can immediately tell from the moment you walk in the door, that people come from far and near to enjoy the delicacy and atmosphere. The food is absolutely amazing, if you don't know the kind of plate you're about to order, please ask anybody and they'd be happy to tell you. I myself always go for my signature plate of silpancho and never go wrong with that. Choosing anything else off the menu is beyond tempting and I will typically order another meal to take home with me. You will leave Luzmary with your hunger completely gone for what probably may be the rest of the day and will be completely happy for it. Be mindful that this food is freshly prepared and can take some time, so enjoy the setting, enjoy a conversation, and prepare to dig in to probably the best meal you'll have in quite some time. Enjoy.

Sohel Patwary

So far sooo good. I'm not Bolivian but my soon to be wife is. We did enjoy the k'awi which was really good and filling. However if u want the chorizo which is something not on the menu is not that great. Ones from Tarata still makes me drool.

jesus manuel hernandez espitia

Buena atencion y muy buen sabor.

Thomas Escobar

Biiiig portions. Prices between 8 and 16, but enough for a meal for 2 usually. Get the salteñas (meat pies). They don't disappoint.

Lyla Vela Castañón

Came from California to taste Bolivian food. Great service, food was spectacular. Falso conejo highly recommended

Megan Angevine

A coworker will pick up a dozen of the saltenas every so often and the office just loves them. Word of warning that they can be messy to eat. They are delicious. Decided to eat in today. Tried the soft tacos and they were great. Would recommend!

Emma Perez

Arriba es en English y abajo para los que hablan Español: As I'm sitting here in this sorry excuse for a restaurant I am writing this review. Our waiter is some skinny guy with a hunchback and glasses (never caught his name). He brings us our bread and never gives us plates! My family is eating on napkins for 5 mins till he comes back and I have to ask him "¿tienen platos?" - "do you have plates?" And he laughs and leaves. It takes him 8 mins or so to go get our plates and we are done with our bread. Me and my wife ordered an empanada and a cheesebread and we never recieved them but got our sopa de mariscos- seafood soup. He wasn't going to give us our appetizers if my wife never asked for them, midway through my wife asking the waiter he literally walks away from her mid-sentence. He comes back with our appetizers and kinda tosses them on the table at us, the empanada was cold and had no flavor. The soup at first looks good but once i dig into it, the hidden problems appear. Their were clam shells and muscles that were cracked on the corners with fragments swimming around in the soup. All of the muscles in the soup were sealed shut meaning that they were dead and never properly cleaned. Me and my wife unknowingly took a spoonful of the soup and bit down on a piece of clam shell and it hurt our teeth. The cluster of the crab legs tasted gamey and nasty as if they were sitting around for a while. There was imitation crab meat all throughout and the soup itself tasted a little funky. We couldnt even finish it because it was so gross and old tasting. Then my stepmother ordered something just for the waiter to say "no hay de eso"- "we don't have that". Then why have it on the menu? Finally, It was time for us to leave and my stepmom asked for a "to-go cup for the soup". Tell me why this man comes out with two foam cups and expects me and my wife to pour this huge bowl of soup into this little thing at the table. Then i realized the to-go orders for other people were pizza boxes from another restaurant. I was so unhappy with the service and food only to be even angrier when i found out that they put their 15% tip on the bill for you. The service was HORRENDOUS i wasnt planning to tip him at all! I will never go again and there are tons of pictures to prove this horrible experience. I regret ever eating here, this place isn't worth the headache or STOMACHACHE! (My stomach is in shambles after eating this poor excuse for food). I suggest they get their food rated by some health department because seafood handled improperly can lead to serious illness.

The food isnt good

Gabriela Villarroel

Food lacks authenticity, it has a Bolivian name without the Bolivian flavor.

Brenda Kruzich

Authentic bolivian food. Portions are huge and delicious.

Ingrid Roca

Super authentic and delicious Bolivian food. My family eats here every Saturday or Sunday. I wish they would start a bottomless mimosa or brunch buffet menu! The customer service is also excellent and all the staff greet you with a smile.

jorge cordero

need improve a lot *really slow service *music loud I can't heard people next to me * Bolivian food ? need learn a lot *table duty and no napkins * no hostess wait 10 m to seat first and last time

Carolyn Peterson

Since the daughter of Luzmilas opened the restaurant I had to check it out. I ordered saltenias, beef tacos, and chips and salsa. The best items were the beef tacos, the saltenias were over cooked and the salsa had soggy chip bits like they gave me someone's food! Will never go back

Luzmary's differs from other bolivian restaurants, you can actually taste the difference as well as feel it from the kind wait staff. Their menu is a lot more diverse and they have ample space for big groups.

A short walk from our house takes us to Luzmary’s . Chicken salteñas and their Bolivian Mocochinchi peach drink makes a great snack or light lunch.

Bryan Jackson

Good food, horrible services and seating comfort. Self seating was not a problem but all tables were still dirty from precious customers. Furnishings were minimum comfort. It took an 45 min to get the food. The waiter came back four times to tell us items we ordered were not available. $85 For a group of 4 adults and a child.

Everything was amazing. Live band playing real Bolivian music. Everything we ordered was amazing. The salteñas are probably the best in the area. The fricase was cooked perfectly, the broth was nice and thick plus it had a good spice to it. Definitely will be going again.

thezombieman72

The food and the service was amazing! Will be going back.

David Huet

Best Bolivian food in D.C. area. Former Luzmila's cooking. Best Saltenas. All dishes are very typical Bolivian and very tasty.

neida sejas

Well I decided to venture out and try this place. I arrived and was greeted cordially. I ordered chicken salteñas, api, and humintas to go. Chicken salteñas are delicious juicy tender, the stuffing so tasty with veggies and the crust sweet. Would definitely recommend the aalteñas. Humintas, to me they tasted bland and it wasn't the corn consistency I was expecting, it was mixed with flour. Api, I believe that you can't ever prepare it bad, since it's ground corn, ground spices boiled and served, it's a porridge. I will have to go back to try other dishes, but will definitely go back for their salteñas.

Dennys Y

Salteñas are the best on the area, but the service is really bad the waitress is always on bad mood. You have to wait long time for everything or probably just stand up and go for it by yourself
