Luzmila’s Cuisine, 809 W. Broad Street, Falls Church, VA, 703-237-0047 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Washingtonian | Falls Church News Press | City Paper | Yelp | Citysearch]
Mom and pop Bolivian place, not up to Don Arturo’s or the nearby Victor’s, but good enough to enjoy and very friendly and fun. Pablo Ayala tells me that their saltenas are very good.

Still, we ate them all up. Thanks for this site!
