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.

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.

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.

As soon as you walk in there is a big refrigerator with items to buy and cook at home, cute little empanadas (you can pretend you made them and take them to someone's house) this cafe also offers lots of dessert, they all look so good my mouth was salivating but I refocused on what I came here for- the empanadas! Since you cannot see them when you are inside the shop, I thought they were the small ones so I doubled up my order. It wasn't till after when I sat outside I saw their "glass cabinets" with their empanadas on display, they are pretty big. Hands down the chicken one was my favorite! They are baked to baked to perfecto. Don't expect great customer service this is a grab and go, sit outside and enjoy.

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.

The crust was flaky and I enjoyed it even though it was on the saltier side. For entree, I ordered their seafood pasta. The pasta was al dente, mixed in with so much seafood that it almost seemed like it was endless. The seafood were big, fresh, and cooked perfectly. It is again, a little too salty for me. This is a great option for a quick bite when you get tired from shopping at the mall. The foods are decent and staff are friendly.

We sat ourselves and it took a while before someone waited on us. But when the server did finally arrive, he was very pleasant and attentive. We each ordered a chicken and beef empanada. They were ok. The beef was on the salty side. The chicken had a spice flavoring that I could not pinpoint. Was not really for me. For the main, I got a chicken breast (schnitzel style) on a bed of pesto spaghetti. The chicken was good but the pasta was very salty. I ate very little of the pasta. Likely would not go back if I return to Chile.
