La Rancherita Bakery

Visit 1: I had to wait 20 minutes for "my goods" to get ready. I told them I needed 18 pieces. After 20 minutes, I was told to wait another 30 minutes but I couldn't - had to get back to work. The lady said there were only 8 pieces available and the rest wouldn't be ready until 2pm. This was 11 am. I said I would take the 8 but turned out that they only took cash. I only had $1 on me. I was disappointed.
That would have been my NO star review but I decided to give them another try.
Visit 2: I had a Spanish speaking friend call and place my order in advance. Line was busy for a while but finally freed up. I showed up and my goodies were well packaged and ready for me. Everything was delicious. The saltenas! Oh my!! Highly recommend them.
Tips: make sure you have cash, place your order in advance if you need more than just a few pieces of anything, don't come here for the ambiance.
No star for my 1st visit. 3 stars for my 2nd visit. 5 stars for taste.
Will update to 4 stars when they are no longer a cash only facility.

Bolivian salteñas sold in la Rancherita! Delicious and Juicy

The best Saltenas in OC.

The salteñas were delicious and affordable. What more can you ask for?

We go on weekend mornings when they make Bolivian Salteñas they're amazingly delicious. It's a pastry filled with juicy meat, potatoes, peas, raisins, egg, and more. You might want to call ahead to make sure they still have some and place your order.
