It also came with ceviche for an appetizer which I was a little nervous about because it's kind of warm in Santiago right now. I made the mistake of ordering an extra yuca frita with it. Mistake because it ended up being a huge amount of food which we couldn't finish. Everything was delicious. The salteado was steak and shrimp and it was really good. It had more of a gravy than just a soy sauce base I am accustomed to. I highly recommend them for delivery

Once again I've got to say this: the best food in Chile is Peruvian food. Rocoto is delicious. The…read moreonly reason I don't give them five starts is because the first time I went they would not serve me there although they had a table. The Pedro de Valdivia branch is apparently only for take-out. Even after the bad experience I still went back and ordered and, although the menu was for four, we still had some leftovers for the next day.

After that excellent experience, I decided to bring my hubby for a Sunday brunch. I was VERY satisfied with their brunch menu! I could not believe the amount of food and drink that we both received--it was almost too much (in fact, we did take some breads home with us). When it comes to drinks, like pastries, they don't skimp on quality. The fresh-squeezed juices are terrific and the coffee baristas really know what they're doing. I ordered a coffee on Easter Sunday that was delish and had a hot cocoa most recently. The raspberry juice was so great that my hubby, who was feeling a little under the weather, had two! The ambiance is what you would expect from a French cafe in the city. It's a smaller space but I recommend sitting outside if you can. We sat in the far back courtyard and despite the cold temps outside, we were cozy thanks to the warm heat lamps and they also provide blankets! I highly recommend this spot for the friendly service (even if your Spanish is not great) and really delicious food. They even have a nice bakery right when you walk in the door, so it's a perfect spot to grab a quick host gift, a surprise for a friend, or even a coffee drink to go.

The only drawback is the service is really excellent and then I think the server got overwhelmed and forgot to bring out the tart but as long as you're patient it is well worth the wait.

I had the Pino empanada, and it completely hit the spot. The filling is loaded with meat, onions, and a savory gravy. It honestly reminded me of a delicious French onion soup pot pie. It's pure comfort food. The empanadas are huge for the price, making it an amazing value. The ordering system is also super efficient: pay at the register (they do take credit cards), take your ticket to the pickup counter, and find a spot at one of the standing bar tables to dig in. If you are exploring downtown Santiago, definitely swing by.
