"The food is warm and yummy and quite easy on the tastebuds. As some have already mentioned, the food is very much comfort food . Great options for Gluten free crowd, and scant options for vegans (2 or 3). Many options for vegetarians. My table ordered a few dishes: Pastel Vegetariano and Pastel de Choco: Really, really yummy, and I highly recommend. There is a Chilean creamed corn atop a bed of sautéed mushrooms and onions. In the Choco, there is meat, and in the vegetariano, there isn 't. The veggie one is actually vegan, and I made sure to confirm with the waiter before ordering. Great pick if you like the taste of creamed corn or corn soup. Portion was just right to keep me satisfied. $14 $15 each dish. Veggie Empanada: Good, but I wish the empanada was hotter....like it had baked longer in the oven and was hot when cut open. Our empanadas were warm cool. The size of the empanada was really good. One empanada is the size of both my fists together. Best deal here: $5 each. Chorrillana: My goodness were my friends in for a treat. They were totally not expecting such a huge dish with a huge serving of fries, beef, and eggs. I didn 't try any but my friend said that the fries were the crispiest fries he had ever had and that he really enjoyed the dish. $21. Just a qualm or two: some of the dishes were $20+ while others were $5. I feel that there is a huge price gap in the menu and some dishes were priced a bit high. I understand the need for more expensive food, but I felt that the pricing was off. Additionally, soda is priced per can at $2 and is not served with ice. I don 't know why that matters to me but I really like my soda with ice, especially if the can is poured straight into the glass when it is brought to the table. Lastly, I saw 3 guys eating sandwiches with a side of fries here and I was intrigued. Unfortunately, I am gluten free, so that 's not going to happen for me."
