Salteñas are now available in all of Japan with BOLIBAR

Authentic, quality Bolivian cuisine is one of the hardest things to find in Japan, but look no further!

Finally Salteñas, the most beloved food of Bolivia is available to order from Meat Express. We ship Salteñas right to your front door anywhere in Japan.

In collaboration with FLAVIO GONZALES, owner of Bolibar, we present two variations of Salteñas;

  • Beef Salteñas (Bolivian Empanada) 4 units
  • Chicken Salteñas (Bolivian Empanada) 4 units


Baked to perfection in the oven, each Salteña is filled with a harmonious blend of meat, potatoes, and spices. This Bolivian staple boasts a tantalizing combination of spicy and slightly sweet flavors, making it an incredibly flavorful and delicious treat. Bring the authentic taste of Bolivia into your home with Salteñas.

About Chef FLAVIO GONZALES

Greetings from Riberalta, nestled within the vibrant Bolivian Amazon! I’m excited to introduce you to the heart of Bolivian cuisine through our specialty, Salteñas. Bursting with flavors from my hometown, these empanadas are a cherished snack, featuring a delightful blend of beef/chicken, potatoes, onions and spices, all baked to perfection.

Having lived in Japan for two decades, I’ve combined my Japanese roots with Bolivian culinary traditions at our newly opened BOLIBAR. Join us on a taste adventure as we bring the rich culture of Riberalta to Japan, one delicious Salteña at a time. Immerse yourself in the fusion of Latin American gastronomy and Japanese warmth. Cheers to culinary exploration!

Who We Are

We’ve been serving Mexican cuisine in Japan for more than a decade. As a food truck business, we’ve participated in major events like Summer Sonic, Sapporo Snow Festival, Rugby World Cup to name a few and we’ve also opened pop up restaurants across many major cities all over Japan.

During the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020, we were forced to close our food trucks and restaurants and it left us no choice but to explore new ways to serve our customers: that is how we started Meat Express.

With our extensive knowledge and experience with Mexican cuisine, we strongly believe our Mexican menu is the best — or at least one of the best — available in Japan.

If you haven’t tried our tacos or any of our Mexican bites yet, give it a try and let us know what you think.

Let’s Meat!
