If you decide to eat at this restaurant, I assure you, you won't regret it! It might look like just another "fast food" place from the outside, but inside it's a completely different experience. Everything is made with excellent quality ingredients and love. My friend and I came and we loved the homemade chorizo (made by the owner) and the roast pork sandwich. She's a sweetheart and her passion for food shines through, making people happy while enjoying her dishes. We can't wait to come back and try more things from the menu! The Sunday casserole soup will be next! 😋
Translated by GoogleThe experience was incredible! The owner served me and mentioned that their specialty is pork sandwiches, which is what I tried and it was a 7 out of 10! It's packed with protein, fresh vegetables, soft, warm bread, house sauce, and nicely presented. I had a papelón con limón (a drink made with unrefined cane sugar and lemonade) and it was good; they have other drink options too. The atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming, you can pay in cash or by card, and there's parking right in front. The area is quiet, ideal for going with the family.
Translated by GoogleThe best soup in all of Santiago! Great variety of food and excellent quality, highly recommended!
