A simple little place for sandwiches, with bar seating all around the kitchen, but wow does it pack a punch for experience. Heart attack on a plate, but worth it anyway. Loaded down with all the goodies, including mayo, these sandwiches rock! Our guide, Americo, brought us here on a tour of the city when we said we wanted to... More

Vegetarians need not go here, this place is all about their meat. I was almost shocked at the size of the pork sandwich I was given, and it was delicious! This place was packed with locals so you know its the real deal, and the service is extremely quick.. I was a bit overwhelmed at first being that I dont... More

Doing a tour through South America with my university students, we hit this place on a recommendation. All my Mexican students were trying to make contact with the owners so they could franchise. The whole vibe...the portly middle-aged women cranking the sandwiches with maternal professionalism, surrounded by people who were obviously locals, still sticks in my head after that whirlwind...

I have been living in Stgo for 9 months and love trying Lomitos and Churrascos in basically any restaurant/food stand around town. About 2 weeks ago I finally went to try what many people here say is the best in the city. I ordered a Churrasco Italiano and it was good, not great. For the size alone, but also for... More

My Dad-In-Law brought my wife and I here while we were visiting him in Santiago, and claimed it was the best sandwich in town. Good lord....the fare here, even though they are either beef or pork sandwiches in a myriad of combinations, they are piled high, loaded with goodies, and drowning in mayo. Most would see that as a turn... More

Delicious pork (cerdo) - sliced off the joint, and cooked to perfection, then placed in massive amounts in an enormous bun with lashings of avocado, tomato, and a variety of other fillings. Going for some 50 years, a hugely popular haunt for lunchtimes in Providencia. Served with draught beer, and eaten at the counter on bar stools, Fuente Aleman has... More

The sandwich in this place are amazing. Very cheap (for less than $10 you can have any sandwish), has a very fast process for getting your food

A Chilean friend recommended this place for lunch. We went to the Providencia location and ordered lomo completos. The sandwiches were huge and ok, but we were overall a bit underwhelmed. It seemed like a Chilean diner from the 50s, and I'm sure there's quite a bit of nostalgia involved for locals, but we didn't really get it. That said,... More
