Finally made it to Sunnyside to try the popular salteñas. Squeeze the chicken to get service, that was a fun exercise and unique. Order at the counter, there's no seating. I got the beef salteña and the sopa de mani. The salteña was worth the wait! Super savory and filling, the green sauce is the perfect accompaniment. It took me about 40mins to get home at which point it wasn't as soupy but still quite delicious. It was too cold to eat it fresh at the window of the store. I think these may be made fresh as there was ~15 min wait after ordering. The sopa de mani (peanut soup) was something brand new to me. It was quite savory and rich. It was like the peanut version of clam chowder. The crispy shoestring fries was great.

Sunnyside's salteñas have garnered attention for their savory and filling flavors, with reviewers consistently praising the green sauce as a perfect accompaniment. The sopa de mani is also a notable mention, although details about its preparation are scarce. Overall, the experience seems to be worth the wait, with reviewers noting that the food is fresh and the service is good.
Be prepared for a potentially lengthy wait, as reviewers have mentioned wait times of around 40 minutes. Additionally, seating is limited, with only outdoor seating available at one of the locations. It's also worth noting that the restaurants are described as "little hole in the walls," suggesting a casual, no-frills dining experience.

Went to the place on the way home from Queens Center. It was a little hole in the wall. There was only outdoor seating. The service was good. It was a wait for the food because they were busy and the food was fresh. We got a series of dishes that were good! They definitely were more of a modern style of Bolivian food. Everything had good flavors and they give you a lot of food!
