I visited Amasa several times, mostly to get empanadas and apple strudels. My children prefer their…read morecheese empanadas, which are flaky. I like their regular empanadas (the traditional kind with beef, olive, and hard boiled egg). The spicy empanadas were also good, but I liked the regular kind better. Their veggie empanadas were very hearty. The apple strudels were not overly sugarly, making for a nice breakfast pastry. During one visit, my children had donuts, and I had a pastry with cream in it: we all enjoyed our sweets. This little bakery has a small outdoor seating area. They also sell regular baked bread items. Service was always fast and on point. Thank you!

Voted best empanadas in Santiago, I was surprised to see they were not on Yelp yet. A small…read morebajeryvin a residential neighborhood, we showed up at 4:10 on a Sunday and they had closed. They reopened to sell us a half dozen meat empanadas and a half dozen cheese. They weren't cheap, $18,000 pesos ($26 bucks), but we had to have them. The pino (meat) is super tender steak. The texture could have been a little bit juicier, but we had taken them home and reheated, so I recommend trying them right there. The dough was tender, but not greasy or flaky and rolled super thin. They have several cheese options: plain, with olives or with tomatoes, we tried them all and like the tomato the best. They have limited seating, all outside, as it looks to be the owner's home. If your in Santiago and like locals' faves that are off the beaten path, you gotta go!

We found this place on Yelp... with a strong recommendation from the hotel concierge. They have do…read morehave menus in English and a QR code menu with English and Spanish with pictures. Everything we had was fantastic and the waiter and chef were very accommodating. Everything was great particularly the traditional menu items. The service was warm and friendly. Everything was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed sitting outside given we had just arrived from the US in early December. The plus here... most of the folks (other than us) seemed like neighborhood locals. When you're traveling, go where the locals go :) In fact we met the owner who was sitting at the table next to us with some German expats, which just added to the warmth and depth of our experience.

Very friendly management and staff. Here are my ratings for each dish we had:…read more(1) Pastel de Choclo: 4 stars. This is a corn pie filled with chicken and hard boiled eggs. It taste a bit sweet (from the corn) and also savory. (2) caldillo de congrio: 3 stars. This is a fish stew. It tasted okay; not my favorite. (3) Chupe de Jaiba: 5 stars. This tasted like a hot crab meat dip to me. It was delicious. (4) Locos with mayonnaise: 4 stars. This is a Chilean seafood delicacy served with potatoes (5) Torres starter plate: 3 stars. This platter has cheese, prosciutto, salami, crostini and empanadas. It was our first time having these local food and we enjoyed it.

I've been coming to this place for years as I used to work in the area. They have typical Chilean…read morefood and delicious empanadas. There's a daily menu that includes a side salad or soup, delicious home made bread, main dish and dessert. All for a reasonable price and a local ambiance that hasn't changed for decades. I'm vegetarian and I love their salads and their veggie empanadas. You can always get a plate of rice and salads of your choice as a modified menu. Servers are very friendly and food is great. I can't recommend the vegetarian empanadas enough: Cheese, Veggies, or Mushrooms with cheese.

Found this bakery online in search for the best empanadas in Santiago! We were on a tasting kick…read moreand this bakery had won some medals in prior years. The bakery location is off one of the main streets, there's not much ambience and the chairs are metal material so not much to lounge on for an enjoyable lunch/snack. Reading prior reviews I picked up on the customer service, they are not the friendliest just very business like, place your order, pay, sit and get out. I think they have a heavy catering section and make their dollars there. I happy to say that they did have a variety of empanadas to choose from and they also had a "grab and go" section. Not sure what their pricing is for these grab containers but I'm sure if you worked around the area this bakery could be convenient for lunch. The empanadas were nice but there's more options to choose from.

This review is for the pastries…read more THE AMBIANCE: Lo Saldes is a decent-sized bakery that has one side set up with baked goods and the other side set up for patron seating. THE BAKED GOODS: All around the baked good area there is bread and pastries laid out on tables, racks, and stored in refrigerators if perishable. There is a big bread/pastry display in the middle of the area and an area where the bread is stocked in little open cabinets. I don't know what my pastries were called but they weren't that great I have to say. The one that had either strawberry or raspberry on top -- I expected it to be soft and jam-like but it was semi-hard and gummy. The one that looks like a piece of lemon pie -- the crust was not flavorful and the filling was bland. THE TIPS: They have a deli station where you can order sandwiches and some items out of their oven such as calzones, sopaipillas (a kind of fried pastry), mediaslunas (croissant-style pastries), brownies, kuchen sureno (pie), and queques (muffins).
