Rincon Chileno: Reviews & Ratings
Great place! The food was amazing! The lady (server) is son nice and welcoming! We tried 2 empanadas as appetizers PINO ASLO HAM AND CHEESE! Both great! Also got some pan amasado with pebre (salsa) so addictive! For drink a great read wine for $7 and for main we got the Humita kinda corn tamale with side salad and also the CARNE MECHADA with homemade mash potatoes!!! Trust me it won't disappoints!
Always enjoy having food like my mother made when I live at or when I visited.
First time trying this place and it was delicious this is one of los angeles' hidden gems. Owner was very courteous and explained the menu to us. I got a spinach and cheese empanada and my main dish was charquican. Strange name but it was delicious definitely coming back with family and friends
Rincón Chileno…delicious authentic Chilean dishes from salads to sandwiches and delicious empanadas, hummitas cazuelas or Beef stew and more…wines and sweet goodies. I had the Barros con queso sándwich, he had the cabbage salad and tomato and onion salad…oh did I mention hot out of the oven Pan Amasado which is like a biscuit so delicious and served with butter and Chilean pebre salsa. Right next to restaurant is the small store to get extra goodies to go empanadas and more. Seating inside only all the COVID guidelines followed si if you’re on Melrose in Los Angeles come try them out…you can purchase fully cooked empanadas to go or uncooked to bake at home and have it freshly hot out of oven in your casita
This place was soooo good. It can be tricky to find if your not coming in off university ave so that’s probably the best way to find it. The tamales are fantastic as are the chiliquilles.the deserts were just okay but all the other food was great.
My all time favorite Chilean restaurant in LA. I love their food, I've been coming here all my life since I first moved to LA from Santiago, Chile as a teenager. Great food.
Best savory empanadas in town! They’re big but not cheap. Most are more than $5 each. They’re packed full of food though! They are aesthetically pleasing - especially the spinach and cheese one. The spinach and cheese empanada is their best. It’s a masterpiece! It’s really flavorful. Great spinach taste! The ham and cheese empanada is also very good but a bit greasy. I’ve tried some of the other empanadas and they’re good too. The deli part of the restaurant has all kinds of Chilean goodies! Like wines! They have a deli and a restaurant. I haven’t been to the restaurant in a while but the food is good there too. Parking is a problem but they have a lot in the rear.
Authentic Chilean place! The humitas were really good and extremely filling. I ate them in Chile a couple years back and couldn’t believe they had them here. Husband says this place is very authentic, although not everything is Chilean. They kind of have a mix of all South American fare, including inka kola and some wines. The bread is really good! We bought a bunch, froze em and made breakfast with it. The empanadas were really good too, especially the spinach and cheese. Not a normal Chilean flavor as I’ve learned but the minced meat one I got for my parents is authentic.
