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. Picadas and Chilean restaurants serve cazuela (meat and vegetable broth), charquicán, pastel de choclo (corn pie) and porotos granados (bean and corn stew), the last two mostly in summer when fresh corn is in, chorrillana (a loaded plate of chips to share) and mote con huesillo as a cold drink-dessert; lunch is the main meal and many close early in the evening.

The business lists hours for six days of the week. The most common schedule is 10:30–2:00. Note that it does not open on Sundays. 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 55 225 1436. From abroad dial +56 followed by the number. Calling or sending a WhatsApp message ahead is the norm for bookings and appointments.

Me pedi un churrasco italiano, y la palta estaba pasada, y la carne seca y sin sabor. El pan crujiente, rico, el tomate fresco y la mayo casera muy buena sazon. La atención al menos hoy fue mala, nosotros buscamos mesa, y nunca nos trajeron la carta, y tuvimos que buscar a la garzona para hacer el pedido. Esperaba algo mejor por como me hablaron de él

Es un local ambientado o enfocado en la música rock o estilo similar. Si te gusta eso te lo recomiendo, la decoración es buena. La comida por otro lado también es buena pero la ración la encontré un poco pequeña. El tiempo de espera es de unos 20 minutos, y la atención si bien no es la más destacable tampoco es mala, un tono serio diría yo.

Un bar de ambiente informal, clientela de mediana edad. Buena atención . Baños limpios. Hoy viernes 22.11.2024 sonaba una excelente banda de rock metal en vivo. Pero ojo, que mientras suena la banda es difícil conversar. Las empanadas, sabrosas y contundentes; 1 o 2 unidades son suficientes para quedar satisfecho; el precio/calidad está muy bien.

An alternative offer in entertainment for Antofagasta, it's like La piojera or a typical Valparaiso bar, with a strong artistic side, live music and poetry

Food and drinks were very good, music and the environment are great but the place was way too hot and the bathroom way too dirty.
