A morning-only snack: stands open around nine and sell out by noon, so you won't find salteñas at night. Bolivians treat the mid-morning salteña as an almost daily little ritual, eaten standing.
Filled with a stew of meat or chicken and a sweet-spicy juice, eaten mid-morning; many people bite a corner and sip the juice first.
