Review from samuel a.

Gosh I love this place when I can get down.
I don't remember the names of the sandwiches (actually chacarero is one - beef with green beans) and they have one with beef and cheese. MMM. I had the big sandwich with half of each.
It is a GUT buster and only those with huge appetites (like me) will be able to finish it in one sitting!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Just as Marc D. says. Except I'll add a little clarification and a star. And suffice to say I love… Read more »

* Chilean bakery, sandwiches, and grocery *
I'm a big fan of this place. It is primarily a bakery, but also offers sandwiches and has a small grocery section offering Latin products. The operators are Chilean, and they offer Chilean sandwiches as well as Chilean pastries.
I had the chacarero sandwich (sliced beef with tomatoes and green beans). The meat was clearly prepared to order as it was hot from the grill. This is a messy sandwich that drips down your hands. The bread is made in-house and a bit crunch on the outside and the soft inside soaks up the juices nicely. The green beans were slightly pickled, giving a flavour similar to nopalitos. A nice sandwich!
They have dozens of different pastries including several that heavily feature the housemade manjar blanco (dulce de leche).
I had a cone shaped pastry that was filled with vanilla cream and dipped into manjar blanco. It was delicious. The pastry shell was nice and flaky, the vanilla cream didn't have any of that nasty artificial taste it so frequently can, and the manjar blanco was creamy, rich, sticky, and delicious!
They also have sweet empanadas filled with (you guessed it) manjar blanco and another with housemade pineapple jam. These are more of the cookie style empanadas that crumble a bit. I've sampled these on previous trips, and enjoy them as well.
On a future trip I'm planning to try their savoury empanadas, which are a house specialty too!
P.S. Free wifi for those that care..... -

Once and awhile if you have spent any time in the southern cone of South America you just gotta have a real Chilean empanada pino style, not those tiny bites the neolatin restaurants offer but a big honken handful of meaty goodness, so head on over, grab one of the few tables and watch the pre-recorded Chilean TV shows while digging into a real empanada, the comings and goings of the locals are also entertaining, some people travel a long way for a Chilean empanada. Their various deserts are very good for you dulce de leche fans but call it manjar when you are there, they will smile all the wider, try the torte mil hojas, then go for a quick 5k run.
