Here you will find the true Chilean oven empanada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡±, with the perfect dough and delicious filling. One of the best, if not the best, vegan pineapple I have ever eaten. A little piece of Chile in San Francisco!

The best hole in the wall spot in San Francisco. It's a small restaurant serving empanadas with unusual ingredients (if you're not Chilean), such as hard boiled egg, raisins, and olive. Anyone who lives in the Bay Area should come here at least once.

Chile Lindo is still here!!! We found it across the street from its old spot. So glad this grand Mission establishment is still here. Incredible Chilean empanadas and tasty treats!

If you are Chilean or want to try a empanada that taste just like being in Chile this is the place. As soon as you open the door you can feel like you are in a Fonda and it’s 18 de septiembre. The owner is so nice and she makes your experience even more close to Chile ??. Ā”Viva Chile!

Ahhh Empanadas, Chile’s National food.
A mouth watering savory party tucked into a hearty soft and crunchy on the edges pastry pocket. Been going to Chile Lindo for over 20 yrs. Visited Chile several times - went to almost every Empanaderia I saw cuz I’m a little obsessed. Chile Lindo’s Empanadas are authentic. Just as good as the ones I had in Chile and better than some. These are large Empanadas and one is definitely a meal…..but we often have two only because we can’t control ourselves. Our favorite is the classic Pino, a very savory seasoned beef w/ a black olive and hard boiled egg. The Merken spicy beef is a close second. Make sure you order the Pebre- Chilean mild salsa- and pour a little in your Empanada with each bite. Wash it down with a classic Coke or San Pellegrino. Follow up with some Alfajores- Sandwich cookie w/ Manjar (Dulce de Leche) in between. Drool. getting hungry now. Paula the owner is an authentic Chilean host, welcoming, super friendly, and fun. Now go there and get me some please.

Kid-friendliness: Thurs friendly to kids. My kids (11 /16 yrs) love the classic pino(seasoned beef) Empanada. They have yummy Alfajores - A Chilean sandwich cookie with luscious Manjar(Dulce de Leche) smothered in between.

Pino and Merken empanadas are the best. They could use more filling.
The cheese empanadas were dry and didn’t have enough cheese. Who uses cheddar cheese to make empanadas?

Need to improve empanadas, not enough pino, too much dough. Add more charge more that’s fine. 2-3 empanadas hit the spot. Not enough Chilean experience.

These are legitimate Chilean empanadas. Not the deep-fried stuff from Argentina, but the real oven-baked empanada with organic beef from Marin County, olives, raisins and onions. Delicious!! Paula, the owner, is meticulous about ingredients and quality. And she’s super fun to talk with if you find her at her store location. Don’t be deterred by the location - this is high quality stuff. We’re huge fans!!
