Review Summary

La Chilenita is portrayed as a family-run Chilean cafe where the empanadas are the star, with many reviewers calling them the best and praising chicken and beef fillings and even taking some home with lentil soup. Other favorites include the Barros Luco sandwich and pastel de choclo, and the overall vibe is described as clean, spacious and welcoming with a warm family atmosphere. Service is consistently described as friendly, attentive and fast. While the empanadas are celebrated by most, a few reviews note downsides such as small size, dryness or a lack of ketchup on site, and some say the prices are a bit high for the portions. A sense of traditional charm and family ownership comes through, with some readers appreciating the mix of Chilean classics and occasional Mexican items on the menu. Overall, the place comes across as a gem worth visiting for hearty Chilean fare, praised for savory empanadas, generous portions relative to price, and a friendly, homey vibe.

I'm sure all their food is great, but I wouldn't know... I got the Barros Luco sandwich the first time I went & fell in love with it. I can't not get it every time I go. The staff are really nice, too!

Without a doubt some of the best food I've had, period! Incredible Chilean sandwiches & empanadas! If I lived in Montreal I'd definitely come here at least once a week! Home style cooking with a lot of care clearly put in. Flavours are amazing & everything is reasonably priced. In addition to sandwiches & empanadas, they have a wide range of other dishes like tacos, quesadillas, & other Mexican & South American staples. Service is very friendly & accommodating, & the parkette outside is the perfect setting to enjoy your meal. Definitely a spot I'll go out of my way to stop at anytime I'm in Montreal & will definitely recommend to anyone I know who's visiting. Highly, highly recommend!

Ça fait une vingtaine d'années que je fréquente la Chilenita & je n'ai jamais commandé un empanada. Pourquoi? Parce que c'est difficile de ne pas commander un Barros Luco. Un des meilleurs sandwichs rapport qualité/prix à Montréal, minces tranches de boeuf, tomates, avocat & leur délicieux fromage sur pain frais. Essayez-le & vous m'en remercierai, c'est un des meilleurs en ajoutant la sauce piquante (qui est plutôt douce). Service timide mais efficace, le local n'a pas particulièrement de charme mais est tapissé ici & là de rappels chiliens. $18 sandwich + Jarritos avec les taxes. P.S.: si vous avez trouvé ce review utile & informatif pour vos choix, s'il vous plaît 🙏 laisser un 👍 en support à l'auteur, merci !

Belle endroit pour aller manger des empanadas fraîche, des sandwichs, désert, churros, café etc etc il y a aussi une belle place dehors avec des tables & chaises pour prendre le soleil & manger à l'extérieur. Place tranquille & très accueillant. Merci à Michel pour être là & faire tout un différence avec la concurrence.
