A local Chilean restaurant in a market. The lady was friendly and gave us a lot of french fries! The menu italiano was really good. It was the first meal that I had since I arrived in Santiago. Would recommend. The only negative aspect was that they do not have a bathroom so you have to go across the street and pay 500 CLP to use the bathroom.

A Hidden Gem for Pork Lovers! El Rey del Lomito is a hidden gem that exceeded our expectations! This local-style eatery specializes in enormous and scrumptious pork loin sandwiches grilled fresh right before your eyes. The bustling atmosphere, filled with locals, assured us we were in for a treat. Despite our limited Spanish, the staff's friendliness and willingness to assist made ordering a breeze. The variety of roll toppings added a delightful twist to our choices. We indulged in the flavorful Lomo Italiano and two other popular sandwiches, paired with refreshing Pina juice that perfectly complemented the meal. Convenience for tourists like us was a highlight – they accept card payments, saving us from the hassle of dealing with local currency. Situated near vibrant market stalls and fruit vendors, El Rey del Lomito offers a truly authentic experience. If you're a pork enthusiast seeking a local culinary adventure, this spot is a must-visit!

Excellent place, with history, and run by the owner, who is extremely friendly and attentive... a must-visit spot!
