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.

The food is simply delicious! I love their lentil soup & vegetarian enchilada with rice & beans - Yummy!!! The service is impressive, especially the manager. He's super friendly & makes sure you are well taken care of. It's so good, I go during my lunch hour, once or twice a week. :)

Les empanadas de toutes sortes sont délicieux & les soupes aussi aux lentilles surtout pour un prix abordablement bas.

Not a fency restaurant but the most authentic empanadas place in Montreal, I usually enjoy the burrito & the lentils soup.
