My family stumbled across this place when we were cruising the coast of chile on our second day of vacation. What a gem in the rough. The place is beach side and has a good view of the beach in some of the booths.
My family ordered a large variety of different types of empanadas. I ordered the salmon ahumado empanada and the jamon empanada. The ham empanada was definitely delicious, the empanada was freshly fried, the dough was clearly homemade, and the empanada came with a good amount of ham inside. The salmon ahumado empanada was even better, the smoked salmon was absolutely amazing. The smokey flavor of the salmon mixed so well with the cheese, tomatoes, oregano, and the homemade flaky dough. My family enjoyed our food so much that we actually came back before our vacation was over just to grab more delicious empanadas.
Overall, this is a great place to grab some authentic empanadas while you kick it beach side. This restaurant admittingly is not the cleanest of places but try an empanada and you will not be dissappointed. The service at this place could be a little better but they try. I had a good time at banana restaurant while in the city of Papudo, I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area, best empanadas of my life. read more
