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.

For a very reasonable price, you also get a pisco sour, water/soda/wine, an appetizer (fried cauliflower with beets), and coffee. The pisco sour was very refreshing and tart. Food was a good sized portion as well and tasted light and not too heavy. The lunch special isn't listed in the menu so don't forget to ask about it! Ambiance is really cute inside and they have nice outdoor seating as well.

We were looking for a cute spot with traditional Chilean dishes and this spot didn't disappoint. I kinda regret not getting empanadas but we got a pie esque dish and a ceviche which were both pretty yummy. Chilean food feels pretty hearty and homie, so if you're looking for cute local, in a hip neighborhood then La Mensajería should be one of the first spots you check out.

Grabbed a coffee and two empanadas de pino to go. Great vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has a super chill vibe with an excellent view of the street scene. The empanadas were individually packaged in their own brown bag. It was a nice little snack to start my morning. I'd definitely recommend this spot and can only imagine what their main menu has to offer.
