Underwhelming Sopa de Maní — expected more

I was looking forward to Sopa de Maní here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The simple and honest character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with ají amarillo or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The a La Paz salteñería morning setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. chicha de maíz was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
