Le prix était pas mal élevé pour ce qu'on a eu. Les empanadas étaient petites & trop sèches à mon goût. Aussi, il y avait pas de ketchup disponible sur place, ce qui est un peu plate pour ce genre de bouffe.

The best empanadas in town!! Specifically love the chicken onion tomato…. The Barros Luco has a special place in my heart when I'm extra hungry. Congrats on the new sign outside too! Looks awesome!

Pour donner suite à ma visite chez la Chilenita, j'ai pu ressortir de cet établissement avec un sentiment de bonheur & admiration, je suis toujours content de constater qu'il y existe encore des chaines de restaurant qui sont eux détenue par des familles depuis plusieurs génération. C'elle-si en fait partie, le père & ces fils travaillais tous & je voyais vraiment comment ils aiment ce qu'ils créent & ça se fait gouter car après juste quelque boucher de leur empanadas maison j'ai tout de suite compris que cela a été fait avec beaucoup de travail aux files du temps pour peaufiner leurs recettes. Je recommande grandement ce restaurant que sa soit pour manger sur place ou emporter chez sois car comme si ce n'était pas déjà parfais leur prix & portion son très généreux comparativement au nouveau restaurant du coin.

I had a couple of empanadas & they were pretty bad. Not worth the price, not authentic, not tasty. Also what's up with half the menu being Mexican food in a Chilean restaurant?

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!
