I ordered the cappuccino italiano which was delicious!!! We also ordered a tulip, which is a cranberry muffin stuffed with yogurt and an apple strudel. Both tasted fresh, soft, and very savory. The staff was friendly and there is room in the corner to leave your luggage, great attention to detail!

After a week of seeking out authentic Chilean food/experience all over Santiago Centro, I can…read morehonestly say that this place was my favourite. This could quite possibly be because it's SO CHEAP (I love cheap stuff), but to be truthful the food was the tastiest Chilean fare I managed to try here in Santiago. The location is tricky to find but its in the main food hall of La Vega and there are dozens of restaurants all located together in an open air, dingy space. I recommend the cazuela de vacuno (a traditional dish, basically a stew with a chicken soup like broth, a large piece of slow cooked beef, a wedge of pumpkin and a potato stewed with some other vegetables). This came with a side starter salad and soup, all for the price of 2,500 CLP. I also tried the cazuela de ave (same thing but with a 1/4 chicken instead of the beef) on another occasion.

One of the "picadas" of the Vega Chica is by far that of Tia Ruth. If you are looking for an…read moreexcellent taste of Chile that doesn't hurt your wallet, this is the place! The quality and simplicity of these dishes make Tia Ruth's stand out from the other offerings in the Vega Chica. Although, you must keep in mind this is a true whole in the wall, kind of dingy (with cats and all) but it is all part of the experience! This small restaurant has great service where the waiters always make you feel welcome (plus, they will let you know what is best to order that day...if something isn't as fresh they will be honest). They always have menus with a starter of soup and salad, juice and bread and pebre! If you are a vegetarian, this is not the place for you, but if you eat meat there are tons of different options. I suggest ordering the mechada or costillar (perfect if you are struggling from last night's carrete)! Also, can't go without mentioning the fried fish with rice - yum!

Nice place for a healthy meal on the way to faraway places. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I found the outlets at the base of the square pillars and was able to recharge my laptop (though I couldn't get the airport wifi to work for some reason). Refreshed, I now head to Antofagasta.

Last hoorah before heading to the gate, this cafe/restaurant actually has a decent menu as well as…read moretake-away items if you need to catch your flight. After checking in, sat down here for lunch with not too many people around Wednesday afternoon. Started off with a bottle of Cristal ($3.090) - basic lager with minimal taste, similar to that of Heineken. For food, split the Prosciutto Pizza (around $10.000pesos) - a large thin crust with cheese, marinara sauce, tomatoes, and prosciutto. Ingredients are kinda thrown together in no particular way, but it's good enough to have with the drinks we had. Service was slow and they were out of a few things. However, they are polite and as far as airport food is concerned, everything is graded on a curve. 3 Stars.

This is a conveniently located airport cafe. Uncrowded, with plenty of room between tables. We had…read morea nice window table, looking out on the bustle of arrivals and departures. A friendly server. And it seemed inexpensive. But no breakfast menu at 10:30 am. And very little on the menu seemed appealing. We both settled on the grilled salmon, which was quite bland. Husband says the French fries are good. Next time, we'll try one of the upstairs eateries.

All the drinks were really good as well, I had a pisco sour which was really delicious but really strong as well. You cannot taste the flavor of the alcohol and it's a tricky drink so watch out! All the food items are drenched in guac which I LOVE, and the vegetables are all really fresh tasting. The bread was fresh and soft, super fluffy. Great location because it's central and located right next to domestic check in.
