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. At the butcher's you ask for cuts by name (lomo vetado, lomo liso, posta, asiento, plateada, huachalomo, abastero) and they are cut to order; for an asado the butcher will help with quantities, and in September, before the dieciocho (Independence Day), order ahead.

The business lists hours for six days of the week. On most of those days it is open 7:30–18:30. It is closed on Saturdays. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close. You can reach Mercado Cabo Aroca on 58 222 3431; calling is the quickest way to ask about availability, appointments or directions, and many businesses in Chile also answer on WhatsApp.
