Paula vibrantly welcomes everyone who approaches Chile Lindo. All of the empanadas are excellent, but I particularly love the merkén empanada. For anyone in need of a little Chilean culture and food, this is the place to go!

I have been looking for Chilean style empanadas since 1980 when I was there. These are the real deal! They have the classic pino which is the traditional style I knew when it as there as a kid, they also have other variations (which I haven't tried yet). They also have the torta de mil hojas dessert/cake that is so unique to chile (though I confess that their version looks very different from my memories of that terrific dessert). I'm now working on finding a way to have them shipped to me since I live out of the area.
