Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe La Chilenita as a warm, family-run spot with friendly, vibrant staff, a clean, spacious space, and a menu rich in empanadas (chicken, beef, and vegetarian) plus lentil soup and other Chilean favorites like Barros Luco and pastel de choclo; flavors are often praised as homemade and comforting, with some noting generous portions and good value. A few diners find certain empanadas small or a touch dry, and a couple mention higher prices or mixed authenticity due to a broader Mexican menu, but many call it the best empanadas in town and recommend it for dine-in or takeout.

Has been a favourite of mine for 25 years. Still run by the same family to this day. Best empanadas ever.

The food in the restaurant is reasonably good, but the place is a classic bait & switch scheme. The main restaurant is open very little & closes at least one hour earlier than the posted time & opens quite late - it has maybe 4-5 hours a day when it is open - but they advertise the little window that serves only churos, icecream & the little pockets - none of which are very good

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

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!

Amazing place for unique flavour ! I have loved the place for years. Now there is even the "empanadas express" open 6-8pm where you can get to go heated empanadas to eat in the great little park right in front. An amazing end to a great summer day !
