About Mercado Colón

Located at Maipú, 1000321 Arica, Arica y Parinacota, Mercado Colón operates as a butcher or deli in Arica, Arica y Parinacota. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

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 all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 8:00–19:00. 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 Colón on 9 4132 4341; calling is the quickest way to ask about availability, appointments or directions, and many businesses in Chile also answer on WhatsApp.

With 4.0 out of 5 on Google from 1,944 reviews, it sits mid-range for butchers, fishmongers and delis in Arica; the detailed comments usually say more than the score about service, prices and waiting times.

A nice corner for the traveller that wishes to eat at economic prices, as the cheapest sites sell food as low as 3-4 dollars... Although one has to have a flexible taste, because some of the recipes are not the typical fare of the American people and cities....

Decent market with a bit of everything. There are a few food stalls with good food for a very affordable price.

Caballito de Mar is an interesting place to have a drink & a bite to eat.

Excellent seafood soup and ceviche inside.

Víctor Manuel Merida Huerta 9 years ago

A good place to find fresh seafood, a bit expensive, but it is totally worth it. Recommended is the famous "Copa Martinez", a beverage made of a mix containing ceviche's juice (raw fish marinated in lemon), mariscal (a mix of different sea food, including clams, mussel, tunicate, abalons, etc.) and egg. It is exceptional for hangover and sexual impeller. Besides that, there's a nice fruit market with local samples, like mangoes, passion fruit, papaya, guabas, and many others, very convenient prices along.
