Fodor's Expert Review Bolivian Llama Party

If not for the pandemic, the folks behind this young restaurant might still be slinging saltenas (like an empanada, but hand-braided and filled with a rich, savory stew) out of the food hall in Manhattan's Columbus Circle subway station. But now, they've moved away from the office crowds to serve the work-from-home masses, with satisfying peanut soup, salad and grain bowls with barbecued meats or jackfruit, and inspired ice creams with purple corn and cherimoya. It's window-serve only, with a few outdoor picnic tables for seating in the front, so if the weather's nice just look for a small crowd mingling outside the venue to find it.
