The food is delicious here. So far I have had the steak sandwich which was delish and also went back and had the Skirt steak dinner and was not disappointed!! The service was great and the staff friendly. It's not overly expensive. One thing for sure is you will not be disappointed in this place. read more

What happened to this restaurant - bakery? We visited yesterday to celebrate my mom's 92nd birthday. We are from Chile and my mother has always enjoyed having food from our beloved country, so it was natural that we would visit San Antonio and happy occasion. As we entered, the bakery looked fine, but the woman attending seemed to have an attitude when she motion for us to go on to get seated. The dining room that had always been decorated with murals and paintings was now all bare brick walls. We sat down and waited for the rest of our party to arrive while ordering a few empanadas.. The shot came when we were presented menus, which had shrunk down to 1/3 the size and gone up at least 35 to 40% in cost.. the empanadas we ate were mediocre at best. After the rest of the party arrived, no one came to the table for at least 10 minutes at which point we decided it was not a good place to have a celebration. It was a very disappointing experience for what had been a good restaurant. read more

Chilean food is hard to come by so we take the drive out to valley stream to get it. We went to watch Chile play and overall the ambiance was great. Good food and good drinks. The service could have been better. Took forever to get the server to get back. I understand there was a game going on but every time we do come here they are always slow or no where to be found. Having to get up to get the check from your server isn't particularly my favorite. Will come back for the food though read more

I have been coming here since I was a child!! everything from this restaurant/bakery is just to die for. From the churrasco chileno, the compleatos, pan, and pastries i would give more than 5 stars!! Service is always quick and efficient in either English or Spanish. Bring my mom back to her childhood in Chile read more

It's been a while since I have had some genuine food from the country I was born in and was raised until I was 7 years old. For Chileans I think the closest and most intimate way we become one with our culture is through our cuisine. Which is why I had to go and had me a Churrasco, an Empanada de Pino, a salad, and the best of all a slice of Torta De Mil Hojas! The last time I had visited San Antonio Bakery was when they still had the spot in Astoria, which was a 25 minute bike ride across the Tri Boro Bridge from my neighborhood in the Upper West side. The food is still very good and always enjoy being brought back to my roots. Now, why the 3 stars. Well, sorry, I'm not sure what the Mandate is in Valley Stream but not one, and I mean not one, of the wait staff was wearing masks. I mean, we still have a Covid19 pandemic, and yes I know Long Island seems to think this pandemic thing is all a farce, but come on now man. Also no outside seating was offered, and yes inside seating was at 25% capacity. I mean if the owner sees this post, I'll ask you now: Why isn't anyone wearing masks? Porque ninguna de la gente atendiendo las mesas estaba usando mascaras? I should have asked them right then and there. Some Chileans reading this may think I'm being a snitch, but I'm just thinking what about the people that go to the restaurant whom have not been vaccinated and have a waiter taking their order maskless? It's a risk for sure. So that's it. Great food as always but we still have a pandemic going on, and like I said I'm not sure what the mandate is in Valley Stream but in NYC your establishment is shut down if wait staff and others are maskless. read more

Great empanadas great pastel de choclo great food reminds me of Chile,,,, love eating here amazing food

Ok, so I passed this place s bunch of times, not realizing that it is a restaurant and has been here for 23 Years! Enter to a beautiful bakery counter. Brick wall facing. The elegant owner acknowledges your presence with, "Caballero, I will be right with you". The Italiano is more of a Chicago type hot dog w avocado, mayo, tomato. Delicious tasty Churrasco = steak, avocado tomato, mayo. My favorite. Barros Luci = steak and cheese. Sandwiches are delicious. Come hot sauce, onion and tomato. All of the sandwiches and empanadas are made with the fresh bread made on the premises. Just the bread alone is so good! Mind you. This review is based on a take out experience. They have wine. The other side of the place has a small dainty restaurant. This place is The Joint! Come! Eat! Enjoy! read more

I was so curious to get some bread from this spot after reading so many great reviews So I went in and immediately saw the pastries in the window as well as a nice woman at the pastry counter who asked me if she could help me I inquired about a cake and she told me they had tres leches and another type of cake that was in the pastry area I decided on their tres leches cake and also bought a few of their freshly made breads Can I just tell you that the breads were delish!! And when my family had the cake over the weekend my dad who is so picky wanted to know where I got the cake from I am now a fan of this gem bakery in my neighborhood!! read more

The food is unbelievable; the service is amazing. You have to try this place. I recommend the pastel de choclo (it's a classic) and the chuple del marisco was really good. Honestly, everything was good. If you're a dessert person, the tres leches cake will please everyone and the torta de mil hojas is for those in the know. If you've never had Chilean or Peruvian food, please make this place your first stop to try it! read more

Delicious food, always fresh and a variety of dishes that make me keep coming back far more than most places

Sometimes...when things taste so good....it's hard to find the right words. BUT, I'm gonna try anyways. *cheesy smile* Oh the Chilean bread here, the perfect balance of toasty on the outside, fluffy goodness on the inside. Very fresh and filling. Now you may say- Samantha, that's the same for all kinds of bread. YES but NO, sir/mam. This isn't Italian or French or your local grocery bread. There is an art these people do with their bread that makes you thank your sense of taste. And the bread you buy is the same they use for their churrasco sandwiches (which is a whole 'notha level of goddamn goodness. Juicy steak strips and extra guac with mayo and tomato... whoa whoa whoa...I'm getting off topic...back to bread.) To the reader who is reading this (hello), I recommend you walk in and try it yourself. Whether you want something sweet (plenty of mouthwatering desserts) to something savory (THE RESTAURANT IS NEXT DOOR) or just homemade fresh bread.... Please do yourself a favor and walk inside this hidden gem. Thank me later. read more

San Antonio Bakery & Restaurant - All for $7! Freshly baked bread of all kinds - Bakeries Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

A tiny little bakery. Clean and has friendly staff. Ordered the shrimp and cheese empanadas as the order came with 2. Light, airy, yet savory. Not heavy which surprised me but I enjoyed it. The churrasco sandwich (beef, avocado, tomato and mayo). Really good. The bread they used complimented the ingredients in the sandwich. Super good. Paid $15 for these two items but it was well worth it. I saved the other half of the sandwich for later. I came with my cousin who also got the hotdog, said it was extremely filling. Also got the chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. Wish we knew about this place sooner, it's underrated. read more

So my Chilean best friend took me out for lunch and he's been telling me about this "authentic" chilean restaurant out in long island. He took the liberty of ordering a bunch of stuff from the menu and we were barely able to finish half of the food. +Their Pisco Sour is amazing. They served it in flute glasses and added a sugar rim to the flutes and it has a very lemony taste to it. Quite refreshing for the summertime. +Their beef empanadas are baked and not fried at all, which I love. These are the same kinds his mom used to make for me every year. Also, they have cheese and shrimp empanadas that are fried and the crust was amazing. It has so much flavor compared to any ones I've tried. +The Chilean hot dog looks messy but it's covered with deliciousness of guacamole and salsa. +Their abalones were amazing and fresh, but I'm not a fan of dipping it in mayo. +He also ordered this corn grits that had beef filings inside. It's a little more watery compared to other Chilean restaurants he's taken me to, but nonetheless really good. We used to go to this place in Woodhaven in Queens, but they have closed down. Now we know where to get our Chilean fix. =) read more

Since I've left Chile, it's been near impossible to find a Chilean restaurant, but this place is is by far the best one I've had. There's been a few in NYC over the years, but this place is the top one which has survived all these years and for good reason. It is authentic Chilean food and more importantly BREAD BREAD BREAD! They offer complimentary bread to go with your meal, it is served hot with butter and pebre. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. Come early if you're looking to try more Chilean breads, as they sell out quickly. Aside from the restaurant, it is a bakery. A MUST visit. Visit Chile with your taste buds without living the NYC/LI area. read more

Eh. If you have the time just hop in your car on a Sunday morning, pay the bridge price and take a nice ride to Tarrytown. The taste is not there (i am Chilean) and the prices are ridiculous for what you are getting. Second time I've been here since I moved to Long Island and I was quickly reminded why it took me 3 years to go back a second time. The place is clean minus the walls for those wondering. read more

I would like to give this venue a -5, but I cannot even give zero, so 1 is under duress as that is the lowest review we can give on this platform. I thought the ?owner or ?Manager of this bakery was arrogant and insulting. I went around to a few bakeries on Rockaway Ave to get the best cake for my aunt's 80th birthday formal celebration. At this place of business, I inquired about several cakes- asking about names and what it entails. Then my eye caught another (after asking about 3) and I inquired again, at which time the individual (a man) informed me that I should "stick with these, [the previous 3], because the taste of this [the 4th cake] is well refined" when I asked about a cake. In other words, he was saying I cannot appreciate fine taste. This he said to someone who is a world traveler. When I informed him of what I perceived from his remark, he continued with his quest to show me why I wouldn't appreciate the cake and even asked apparently to prove his point, "have you ever been to Chile?" UNBELIEVABLE. Amazing how we are quick to judge others? because of race, who knows what was in his foolish mind. I won't be getting anything there. read more

A little gem of VS. The owner is always so warm & welcoming. I always order their sandwiches. If you've never had a Chilean sandwich, this is your sign. They also have these drinks called piccolos. Drink with caution they are super strong lol read more

After passing this location for the last 20 years ( because I really wasnt sure what was in there) i read a number of Yelp reviews praising the San Antonio Bakery, in particular, the restaurant, and im glad i did. It was a very nice experience. The restaurant has a nice vibe, and is bigger inside than you would think. We started off with fried queso, which had a nice taste. We then had the ribs, along with the steak sandwich, topped with avacado, tomatoes and mayo. A delicious combination. We finished with a caramel filled layer cake which was big enough for two. Why not five stars? It was hard to get the waiters attention when some minor items such as napkins and water were needed. Since we were only one of two parties in the restaurant at the time, that was hard to understand. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience. I will be back. read more

I came here a few times so far and love it. Don't let the name fool you, besides a bakery, it is a fantastic restaurant. I recommend the lunch/sandwich menu as my favorite is the shrimp and cheese empanadas, and the beef sandwich. Cheese heaven! The most amazing thing is the salsa/hot sauce. I could drink that. I always ask for some to take home. I put it on everything I order for the most amazing flavors! The main menu has some unique items (to an Italian) which I have also tried. Their fried fish plate is huge. It is light and tasty. The salmon is healthy and delicious. Everything is fresh. The bread is homemade, as well as everything else. I have been here a few times when the dining area has been packed out, and also when we are the only patrons in there. They are big on the soccer games, and karaoke and serve to a packed house. Be prepared for a loud fun crowd on those nights. You can also sit in the front area for a casual quick bite or a sweet treat. I have taken a few friends here and everyone can't wait to go back. read more

Great variety of choices on menu. Reasonable prices and hefty sized meals. Have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Have kids meals too. Great choices.

I ordered a churrasco sandwich to go. The service was quick, the price was reasonable, and the sandwich was amazing. The bread is absolutely delicious and the sandwich is filled with flavor.

Came here after my sons soccer game. Needless to say he was starving. Service was not the best but waitress was very sweet. My husband and son are very picky eaters and boy o boy they loved their food. The food was flavorful. The bread they bring to the table. Omg. Soft warm and delicious. We ordered cheese empanadas, chicken stew, steak and eggs and the cazuela with chicken and beef which came with a side of Chilean salad. Omg! Loved it. We also ordered beef empanadas to go since my son is constantly eating. I have never been to Chile but a lot of the regulars who are Chilean seem to come frequently as I noticed the speak to the waiters and waitresses as if they are family. I had asked the waitress what the house hot sauce was made of. She gave me the recipe ame a to go cup filled with the heavenly goodness. I would definitely come back to this place and will recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

Beautiful bakery and restaurant. I can only comment on the bakery part, and I must say the baked goods are extremely delicious. I first heard of this place from a friend who grew up in Chile and swears by this bakery. But I wish there were labels so I knew what I was ordering half the time. I usually get the alfajors and the caramel cake which are both extremely tasty. The alfajors here are the best I've ever had and it's an addicting taste. There is no other Chilean bakery on LI as far as I know, and this place is so amazing that it makes up for it. Definitely worth trying if you want to try something new or if you want authentic Chilean baked goods. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! The owner of this establishment has zero people skills & had himself & the whole staff taste the fried fish after I returned it because it was smothered in salt! This man literally argued with me about what I liked & told me I should've ordered it with "No salt" like whattt???? To add to the great experience we saw a ton of fruit flies which should've been the first red flag!! This restaurant is a disgrace to our culture!!! DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!!!! read more

**Zero stars for discrimination and unfair treatment After requesting a table for 2, we were asked if we were Chilean. When we said no, we were brought to a small uneven table in the far corner and ignored for a considerable amount of time. We ordered "hot" tamales and, after a long wait, were brought a small portion of cold gruel inside large corn husks. We asked for the food to be heated up. The waitress seemed very angered by our request and took the food away. It was brought back about 10 minutes later still cold. We ate what we could, waited a significant amount of time, finally got the check and then left. We both felt sick soon after. This restaurant is billed as an authentic Chilean restaurant and bakery. Most of the patrons were Spanish and seemed to be treated very well. While the wait staff was attentive to other customers, we were ignored. Other customers got healthy portions of very hot food while we got cold slop. I've never had this kind of experience at a restaurant. It was clear to me from the start that we were being discriminated against. There was a very clear difference between our treatment and that of other customers. There was also a very clear difference between the quality of our food compared with other customers. I've eaten at many Spanish restaurants and I've ordered tamales many times before - it is never served as a little more than a tablespoon of cold, disgusting prison gruel. As someone who grew up in Valley Stream and as someone who has always had the utmost respect and admiration for other cultures, I am disgusted and disheartened. The way we were treated was truly shameful. This place should be reported. read more

Very friendly staff. Food is tasty. Empanadas are generously sized and delicious. Ceviche is always made with very fresh ingredients and is a go to dish once a week for me.

If you're a fellow Chilean this is the place to be. The completos are delicious along with the empanadas. Their menu is also filled with delicious meals such as churrasco, pollo arvejado and a bunch of other typical Chilean dishes. When seated you're given bread and sopapillas. Service from the waiters is always top notch, very polite every time I've come and I've been coming here my entire life. It's definitely the spot to come to when you're missing the flavors of Chile. I will say the dessert cakes are a little bit dry though. read more

Here is my rating: -0 stars, but I am obliged to put 1 star, otherwise the review will not post. I live here in VS for the past 16 years, and always went to San Antonio's for their deserts. My husband and I decided to go there for an early supper. We ordered a parrilla para dos, something like BBQ for 2. Anyway, it was okay, I agree the waitress had a poor attitude, but I figured she'll notice she didn't do that well with the tip I was planning on give her. We asked for the bill, and after we got the bill, signed and inserted tip, we realized that we were charged a gratuity fee of over 20%! I immediately scratched off the tip and totaled the amount without it. To my surprise my card was charged the full amount even though I had scratched it off, they got a $40 dollar tip for my meal that cost us $40 dollars. Keep your eyes open the next time you pay your bill. I am never going back. Don't force a 20% tip for subpar service. read more

Chilean, not Spanish damn it! Please stop calling this a "Spanish" restaurant that serves "Spanish" (or Peruvian like some uneducated fool posted below) food. This is a "Chilean" bakery and restaurant, not from Spain or a region of Spain, but from Chile which is a country on the Southwestern tip of South America. Do you call McDonalds English food? I think not. Anyways, onto the food... My wife and I (I'm half-Chilean and lived in Chile for many years) made the trip out from Brooklyn for a late lunch and to buy some baked goods to take home. The service was good and slow like it's supposed to be. Unlike most U.S. restaurants, when you go to a Chilean restaurant you go there to eat, talk and take your time. If you want a server, you call them over. They don't come to check-in on you every 5 mins like they do here in the U.S.. So sure, this may be a "culture shock" for some of you, but that's how we Chileans do. Meals are a time for relaxing and for conversation, not "stuff your face, pay and leave". So quit your whining about the slow service you silly gringos! We had empanadas, humitas, and pastel de choclo, and they reminded me of home. Also the pan amasado and pebre were great. read more
