Judge a place like this on freshness, consistency and recent reviews rather than decor. Menus and prices change, so check the current menu before going. Payment is in Chilean pesos, by debit card (Redcompra), credit card, bank transfer, QR code or wallets such as Mercado Pago, MACH or Tenpo, and you should always be given a receipt (boleta); in small places ask first how you can pay, and book for Friday and Saturday nights. On weekday lunchtimes many restaurants serve a menú del día or menú ejecutivo (set lunch), which comes out fast and fills up between 13:00 and 14:30; book by phone or WhatsApp for Friday and Saturday dinner, and note that the bill shows a suggested 10% tip, which is voluntary.

The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 10:30–19:30. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close. As in most holiday destinations, expect longer hours in the high season and shorter ones, or seasonal closures, the rest of the year. The listed phone number is 61 241 1813. 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 84 reviews, a strong result for a restaurant in Natales that suggests consistent service.

The lady owner is so kind! We've had empanadas from there once a few days back and we have gone back to have some more today. Both beef and seafood empanadas are really good! And, you won't believe the price; they are so cheap.

If you’re looking for a quick meal or snack on the go, you have to stop by here. This unassuming little shop is run by the sweetest abuela and is just a few minutes’ walk from the bus station. Not only are the empanadas affordable, they’re also SO delicious—easily the best I had across two trips to Patagonia. The fried empanadas are perfectly crispy on the outside, with a rich, savory filling made with beef, onions, and even a boiled egg (which was unexpected, but so good)!

Delicious empanadas for take out only inside this little store. Great price and I brought a bunch back to my Airbnb for snacking during the week. If you're staying around here, I would recommend stopping in and picking up a few. I got some water and paper towels too.

Very good empanadas and friendly lady. This seems to be an old ferrateria or Minimarket but she also sells really good Empanadas. She only had the fried ones when we were there. They were really good and really cheap!

Very nice empanadas! The lovely lady working there got them freshly made from the back of the store which sells all kinds of goods. They are delicious!
