About the dish

Sanduíche de chola is a Bolivian sandwich filled with roasted pork, salsa, llajua sauce, and vegetables such as carrots and onions. The ingredients are usually tucked inside large sandwich buns. This sandwich is mostly eaten in the afternoon and paired with a cold beer on the side. The word chola in its name refers to cholitas, the indigenous women who typically sell it on the streets of La Paz.
