Fuente Alemana is one of those classic Santiago institutions that absolutely lives up to the hype…read more If you're craving hearty, comforting Chilean sandwiches, this is the place to go. We ordered La Gorda, which comes with a sausage, and a hamburger. The hamburger came without any toppings, but honestly, it didn't need a single thing, it was phenomenal on its own, incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rest of the Gorda was packed with kraut, mayo, and salsa, all super flavorful and well-balanced. I do wish I had added the guacamole, but even without it, the sandwich was amazing. The cooks are a group of ladies who are warm, kind, and welcoming, giving the place a genuinely old-school charm. This is an authentic spot where you can feel the pride and experience behind every dish. Best of all? The value is unbeatable. Our two orders came to just $14 including tip. Where else are you going to find that kind of quality and flavor for the price? If you're in Santiago and want a true local favorite, Fuentes Alemana is an absolute must. Come hungry and enjoy a taste of authentic Chilean sandwich craftsmanship!

It was mind blowing and all sandwiches from this day forward will be judged relative to José Ramón's lengua sándwich. Getting back to basics - we stopped by here for lunch and they have a nice outdoor patio. They have a very large and impressive selection of local beers on tap and our waitress was very friendly and spoke excellent English

First of all, this is not a 3.5 star restaurant. I had no wifi so I couldn't see all the great…read morereviews of the other location, but this is absolutely just as good. I wandered in here because I wanted to eat South American cuisine once in Chile. A bit of a wait, maybe because I'm not a local and don't know how to communicate, but I started with a fresh mango juice and it tasted like absolute heaven. Seriously, when I die, if you offer me Heaven or Mango Juice I may have to think about it. Good start. Next came bread with two dips. The piquante dip wasn't all that spicy but had a noticeable tang. Delicious and devoured. Order took about 25-30 minutes to arrive at the absolute peak of lunch: 2 PM. Like Argentina, Chile is nightshifted! It was packed but they kept things moving. I had a pollo with mushrooms dish. Delicious, nice portion, nice price. This place is NOT $$$. It's $$ - I spent $US20 total ($17.000 CL) and could easily have done it for $15. Also, it's not just sandwiches. Keep looking at the menu and find their dishes. That's what you really want here. The other table had extraordinary looking salmon on yellow rice. If I liked salmon at all I would have jumped for that right away. Too bad I only had 3 days in Chile and I didn't know about this on day 1 or I could have visited it more than once!
