🇨🇱 CHILE
Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:
The label of "national dish" is something that is always a bit fluid, and Chile might have the longest list of this or that claimed by one person or another, but the most unique of them might be the pastel de choclo ($9.99). They have a few of these in the refrigerated case ready to be reheated (if you choose), but they also work just as well to take home and stick in the oven.
Hidden beneath a burnt and crispy (in a good way) top layer is a savory corn and chicken casserole that also includes onions, raisins, and olives. The dark meat has all been taken off the bone, making this very easy to eat. Like the empanadas, it combines elements of sweet and savory. Without the meat, it could almost be eaten as a dessert.

This is a little jewel hidden in a strip mall.
Food is always fantastic, specially porotos granados, mote con huesillo and empanadas!
I have been going here nearly all my life. Best sandwiches, empanadas and bread. I recommend the churasco, the beef empanada and marraquetas to take home and toast in the morning. Worried about picky-eating kids, cheese empanada is a great beginner. Everything else is super delicious as well, but I just like beef. Trust. Pricing is half and half.
Best empanadas in the south bay. Chilean empanadas are meant to be meals, unlike the argentinean empanadas that are tiny, this ones are large and extra large. I wish they had better pastries. The people there are very polite.
Happy 18th of September. Somewhat chaotic ordering, but the does not mean that this small space does not produce great Chilean empanadas, humitas, pebres, pan amasado, and typical Chilean desserts (brazos de reina, princesas, etc)
