Authentic Chilean Empanadas
After a two-month trip in Chile, I found this spot to be the perfect place to satisfy my cravings for authentic Merken style empanadas. The food was excellent, and the service and atmosphere were also top-notch.

Excellent Chilean Culture and Food
Paula vibrantly welcomes everyone who approaches Chile Lindo. All of the empanadas are excellent, but I particularly love the merkén empanada. For anyone in need of a little Chilean culture and food, this is the place to go!

Delicious Empanadas and Amazing Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The empanadas were absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing. I had a lovely conversation with the person working there. It was really nice to see foods from my family's home country cooked and prepared just how I remember growing up, and they tasted just as good! We got the pinto empanadas right before closing, but we will definitely be coming back for more!

Best Empanadas and Charming Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I had some of the best empanadas I’ve ever tasted, rivaling those I've had in Argentina and Chile. The atmosphere was also a highlight, with an inviting and charming interior. The service and food were rated a perfect 5, and the noise level was very quiet, contributing to a lovely dining experience.

Delicious Empanadas and Sweet Service!
My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. It's an incredible and beautiful place. The empanadas were near to perfection, and the service was the sweetest. I really hope there were more Chile Lindos locations across the bay.

Authentic Chilean Empanadas in SF!
Here, you'll find the true Chilean oven-baked empanada 🇨🇱, with a perfect crust and delicious filling. It's one of the best vegan 'pinos' I've ever eaten, if not the best. A little piece of Chile in San Francisco!

Best Empanadas in San Francisco
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the best hole-in-the-wall spot in San Francisco. This small restaurant serves empanadas with unusual ingredients, such as hard-boiled egg, raisins, and olive, which are unique if you're not Chilean. Anyone who lives in the Bay Area should come here at least once.
