In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Rotisseries sort out lunch with roast chicken, chips, salads and ready meals to take away; Sunday lunchtime is the busiest moment, so ordering ahead by phone or WhatsApp saves queuing.

The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. The most common schedule is 10:00–14:00 and 18:00–22:00. It opens for lunch and again for dinner, with the kitchen closed in between. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close. The listed phone number is 9 5688 5762. From abroad dial +56 followed by the number. Calling or sending a WhatsApp message ahead is the norm for bookings and appointments.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 326 reviews, a strong result for a rotisserie and takeaway in Calama that suggests consistent service.

Amazing food, best empanadas I tried ever. I would recommend the chile traditional one that served with beef and onion inside. But this special traditional one only served over the weekend. The owner is super sweet and friendly. The son can speak fluent English, finally I can order food without a translator.

The best empanada we have had so far! All ingredients are fresh and it was fried just before eating! We had the Mega Empanada and we chose 6 ingredients… it is very big and delicious!! Highly recommended!!

Ordered 2 flavours - 1 cheesy shrimp and 1 mushroom + a strawberry drink. Freshly baked empanadas and they are delicious & huge! Friendly owner kindly let me dine in for a while as he currently operates on a takeaway basis. Its location is near the beautiful park too, great way to visit 2 spots in the same route :)

Great place where you can really experience the real Chilean empanada. We tried 5 of them and we were amazed by the huge filling and the crispiness. My favourite the carne one! The place is small and mainly for take-away but definitely worthy if you are on your way to San Pedro de Atacama (as it is super close to the airport). Family run, we felt like at home. Muchas gracias Marcelo!
