One of my OG go to sandwich shops in downtown Boston. The pairing of Munster cheese with string beans and peppers with bbq beef is not your typical sandwich but it works and tastes good which is why they draw so many people each day for lunch. The spicy beef is a bit spicy for me and the chicken is usually dry so I like the beef!

What a gem! We stopped by for lunch and it did not disappoint. Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted by the hostess that welcomed us to her family's restaurant. She asked if we had tried Chilean food and proceeded to kindly explain the menu. We opted for a small BBQ beef sandwich and a drink. The food was prepared by the owner/hostess' father, and the owner/hostess' mother helped us with our drinks. The beef was soft and delicious, with unique flavor in part to the slow cook spices, the green beans, and the avocado spread. Highly recommend!

Bbq Beef sandwich

Delicious Chilean food. We tried the bbq beef sandwich. Bbq Beef was delicious, soft and flavorful! Pair with your choice of drink and it will be delicious. The wait time to receive our food was not long. Inside seating is available. Thank you for providing a pleasant experience during our visit. See you next time!

Large Combo

Came here at 1 pm as they do close at 3 pm to find the lines long and fast. People had already placed orders or already knew what they wanted when walking in. One of the owners sweetly suggested we try their BBQ combos as they marinate the chicken and beef. My friend and I each order a large combo of the BBQ and original and split. Both sandwiches were so flavorful served inside soft and chewy bread. Although toppings were similar, the original had more of a pesto based taste and was spicier in my opinion. The BBQ was served with roasted bell pepper and tomatoes which I am a sucker for and was my preferred as a result. Overall, the food was phenomenal and the staff were so kind. I will absolutely come again to this hidden gem and hope others do too! Now I understand how they are able to stay afloat with their limited hours and rightfully so.

Barbecue chicken sandwich (small size)

Dry Chicken, whaaat? Hate to give this Chilean sandwich place only 3 stars but the barbecue chicken sandwich came with chicken so dry I had to fish most of it out. And flavorless, dismaying considering they claim to marinate their barbecued meats overnight. Everything else about this sandwich was superior, from the fresh baked bread to the spicy sauce, the avocado spread, tomato, cheese etc. Hopefully this was a one off culinary hiccup and not the norm.

This place is awesome! I've heard so many good things about Chacarero, but could never get there on time until recently. Got there at 1pm which was the sweet spot. The line was long but moved quickly! Almost everyone in line was a regular and did not waste any time. It's sandwich shop with a small section to sit and eat. The staff was so friendly. They knew it was my friend and I's first time and were super patient with us. They kindly recommended we get a combo and a bbq sandwich. I ordered the bbq while my friend got the combo. Both were so tasty and great portions. It was my first time eating a Chilean sandwich and it was an experience. The meat was fresh, the avocado spread was great, and I really enjoyed the crunchy green beans. I also asked for their homemade hot sauce which I recommend. I can't wait to go again!

BBQ Combo sandwich
Chris K.

The sandwiches at Chacarero are very solid, good ratios of chicken/beef and veggies to bread, my favorite is the BBQ combo. The prices have risen sharply over the past few years making it hard to justify going there and the dining area is small and noisy. I would recommend ordering as takeaway and enjoying in one of the near by parks.

One of the things I miss about working Downtown is my weekly sandwich from this place. Large chicken and beef combo with tomatoes, green beans, Muenster cheese, avocado paste, and hot sauce on freshly baked Chilean bread. This sandwich is single-handedly responsible for an 85% drop in office productivity between the hours of 1-3pm in a 1-mile radius.

Barbecue beef

Delicious homemade items including the bread. However, the menu is a bit confusing as it doesn't clearly explain the protein options and spice levels.

Cross section of Large Combo sandwich

Visited Chacarero this week - it had been a long time. Staff was super friendly, but the dine-in seating was closed to customers. These sandwiches are best eaten warm, and by the time I got back to my office to take that first bite, the meat was luke warm and everything seemed a bit dry. Needed more avocado spread and seasoning, but they still make a really unique, tasty, and satisfying sandwich. At $15.18 for a large combo though, I won't be a regular like I used to be in DTX...

Vegetarian sandwich, small
Apex S.

It's a standard order. A vegetarian sandwich. Sometimes small, sometimes large. But always tasty! The veggie sandwich comes with toasted bread, cheese, avocado spread, their house green sauce/chutney, tomato slices, roasted red pepper, and the not-so-secret ingredient anymore, steamed green beans. I would never think of such a combination of ingredients would work well on a sandwich, but Chacarero wows me every single time. Every bite is so full of flavor - spicy chutney, sweetish red pepper, tangy tomato, creamy avocado and cheese, mild beans, and the crunchiness of bread. I've also gotten take out from here and then reheated the sandwich at home on a pan. It definitely holds up, no change in flavor. Customer service is top notch. Friendly with a smile. You order at the register and the sandwich is prepared at the counter. You can definitely eat in, chairs and tables are available. Get there earlier in the day rather than later, sometimes they run out just because they're so good. They're only open on weekdays. I've also tried their baked chicken empanada and it's good too. But the sandwich is truly the star of the show! Every time I'm in this area, that sandwich calls out to me. And I come running!

Tastes like something you would eat at a school cafeteria, complete with dry meat and a styrofoam plate.

It's quite cozy inside with less than 20 tables making for a very intimate experience. I loved the decor inside too. The cocktail I ordered was called the Besó Boricua and my boyfriend got a glass of sangria. My drink was sweet and very enjoyable, plus it looked very picturesque. The sangria was good too, a little strong. We split the Tostones Salmorejo de Jueyes which were very tasty, I had never tried a dish like this before. The tostones were crunchy and fresh and the topping was tasty. My entree was the Churrasco con Salsa Chimichurri, which was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichuri salsa was super tasty. I also loved the rice and beans it came with. Huge portion but I was able to pace myself and finish most of it. My boyfriend got the Chuleta Kan-Kan which he really enjoyed. The portion was also huge and I didnt try it but he said was tasty. Our servers were very nice and kept checking in on us as well. It wasn't that busy when we came which we liked because we could enjoy each others company more in a quiet setting. Definitively check this place out, we will be trying out their sister restaurants!!

Great Puerto Rican joint. I got the Mofongo Tradicional de Plátano and the Pechuga Rellena de…read moreChorizo y Maduros. The Mofongo had delicious garlic notes and was sizeable, though there were some chewy pork belly fat pieces. The Pechuga was tender chicken in a tomatoey sauce, good but definitely less enjoyable than the Mofongo. The side veggies that I chose with the Pechuga were a large portion and cooked well. Any item in the "De La Finca" category comes with a side of your choice (any item in the "Por El Ladito" category). Also, they charge an 18% service charge by default. You can request to change it if necessary (noted at the bottom of your receipt)

This place is popping! Even though it was later in the evening, the restaurant was still really full. However we didn't have to wait too long to get seated. I loved the decor in here, such neat details and even a column with a dragon on it! So cool. It's a dark restaurant so it was hard to read the menu, but otherwise, it's a very cool vibe here and feels very lounge-y. Our server was awesome, he was friendly and explained the restaurant style to us - it's like tapas, you order a few items to share and recommended 2 - 3 items per person would be sufficient. It was only 2 of us and we shared 3 items total, and that was more than enough. We apparently arrived so late that our server informed us that we only had a short time before the kitchen was closing for the night. But he said that he would return before the kitchen closed in case we wanted to order additional menu items. We were intrigued by the Japanese/Peruvian fusion menu and tried a few things: Kuromitsu Brussel Sprouts Spicy Salmon Fritas Bo Bo Chicken I was most excited about the Bo Bo Chicken a it had a sichuan chili oil and I love spicy, but it was not spicy at all (to me). But the flavor was really good. My favorite was the Brussels sprouts. I loved the char on them and the ginger black honey on it was so good. I don't eat salmon, but my friend said the Salmon Fritas was great and really enjoyed them. I would say this was the best meal we had on our trip!
