Welcome to El Mundo De Las Empanadas Chilenas, an inviting café nestled in the heart of Quito at Avenida Mitad Del Mundo, Av. Manuel Córdova Galarza S3-184. If you're a fan of authentic Chilean cuisine, especially the beloved empanadas, this is a destination that promises to delight your palate while also respecting your wallet.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the empanadas, boasting a delightful variety that will leave you in awe. The Empanada Chilena Frita De Pollo is a must-try, featuring a crispy coating enveloping tender chicken mixed with the sweetness of raisins and the richness of eggs—all for just US$2.00. For those who prefer a baked option, the Empanada de Pollo Al Horno, filled with a savory chicken stew, olives, and egg, offers a comforting embrace with every bite at only US$2.95.

For beef lovers, the Empanada De Pino Al Horno is a fantastic choice. It’s packed with a traditional mix of minced beef, eggs, raisins, and olives that tell a story of Chilean flavors, available for the same price as the chicken variation. And let’s not forget about the intoxicating aroma that fills the café as these gems are baked or fried to golden perfection.

The café is not just about empanadas; it also features a selection of enticing desserts like the rich and decadent Torta Mojada De Chocolate for just US$3.05, or the refreshing Torta De Naranja that hits just the right notes of sweetness and acidity at US$2.40. Customers rave about the Pan De Zucchini and Alfajor De Maicena, making it hard to leave without indulging your sweet tooth.

As for the atmosphere, El Mundo De Las Empanadas Chilenas embodies a cozy, home-like vibe with a simple yet clean decor. While some patrons have noted that the aesthetic is not overly fancy, many appreciate the warm and welcoming service provided by the staff. Customer 'Esteban Caro' highlights how adorable the place feels and commends the amiable team, truly enhancing the dining experience.

Unfortunately, the ambiance may lack some background music according to a few reviews, but for those who come for the food, this is a small trade-off for such delicious offerings. Customer 'Nicholas Ibarra' fondly recalls the empanadas being fresher and better prepared than even those he remembers from years past in Pusuqui, underlining the café's dedication to quality ingredients.

Overall, El Mundo De Las Empanadas Chilenas promises an authentic taste of Chilean culinary tradition without breaking the bank. It’s an unpretentious locale where flavor reigns supreme, and every bite tells a story. So, whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or grabbing a treat to enjoy at home, your experience here will certainly be memorable.

Las empanadas son sabrosas, pero el lugar no es muy bonito , para estar el tiempo justo para comer

Un lugar sencillo pero cumplidor. Lo mejor, sin duda, es el precio: accesible y justo. Las empanadas tienen un sabor correcto, se sienten frescas y bien preparadas, aunque sin llegar a deslumbrar. El local es acogedor y limpio, con un ambiente casi hogareño. El servicio fue normal, nada destacable, y quizás un poco de música de fondo ayudaría a darle más calidez al espacio.
