The atmosphere is very hipster/chill and they're knocking the whole sustainability/organic model out of the park. Highly recommended!

In A Nutshell: -Vega…read moreCentral is a produce market where you can purchase in small or wholesale quantities. -I saw a wide variety of vegetables & fruits that were stacked neatly & presented nicely. -The prices vary by vendor, but seemed to be pretty consistent. Overall, this is a medium-sized market, but they have enough choices to create many meals.

Santiago's main vegetable market (as opposed to Mercado Central that's more seafood), this is a…read moregreat opportunity to experience the variety of fruits and vegetables that are unique to Santiago and Chile. Many colorful displays of produce here, I have never seen "Chilean" corn which is different than American corn in that it's a lot thicker. Interesting! Garlic, plantains, red peppers, onions, peaches, apples. What's available depends on what season it is. Prices are clearly marked and are probably a little bit negotiable. As near as I could tell, vendors only accept cash.

Lovely atmosphere for dinner…read more Food is pretty tasty but quite pricey and salty Drinks are the best! Mixes are around 3000-3500 pesos (US$1=680 as of 2015/11). House white wine (2500 pesos) was unexpectedly good and resembled Malvasia Bianca or some decent Gewurtz. Fettuccine de Mariscos (7000 pesos) were brown and full of salty soy sauce. Pasta was rather closer to pad-thai than to fettuccine. Ceviche Mixo (6500 pesos) was pretty salty and full of onion. Portion size of actual seafood could be slightly bigger. Personnel has struggled with English and Minor-Spanish speakers, no menus in English. NO WIFI!!! Again: drinks are good! At the end they will ask you for your favorite flavor of Thank You liquor of menthol, amaretto, apple flavor. Enjoy! We probably won't be back again - too many good places around.

There is nothing more mouth watering then a freshly made warm manjar filled churro that literally…read moreoozes into your mouth as you eat. I love the Carrito de Churros it is literally the only place where I will buy a churro in the entire city. Honestly you can buy churros almost everyone in Santiago however they are almost never made fresh. The Carrito keeps it simple, fresh and delicious. I want one right now just thinking about their perfection. Thier menu is short and sweet (pun intended). You can get one of their big churros filled with manjar or jam, or keep it simple and enjoy some of their little churro sticks covered in powdered sugar (sold by the dozen or half dozen). The car itself looks like a classic 50's food truck. Centrally located in Pio Nono so perfect munchie food. The Carrito has been in the same location for years and as long as they keep making those fresh goodies as yummy as they do it's not going anywhere.

Warm, fresh churros, perfectly soft and fluffy on the inside and goldenly crunchy on the outside…read more These are the delicious churros of Churros Pepe. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best churros in all of Santiago. I have tried many different places and everywhere else pales in comparison. Pepe's, a family run and owned churro truck, is located amidst the hustle and bustle of Pio Nono. The father and son duo set up shop around 5pm everyday and stick around throughout the night making these tiny sticks of golden goodness for their loyal followers...er I mean customers. I recommend ordering a couple of their 500 peso churros filled with deliciously rich dulce de leche (you also have the option to fill it with a berry jam...don't do that). If you want a lighter option, you can buy a dozen thinner churros flowered with powdered sugar for $1.800 or 6 for $1mil. When you come to pick up your night's treats, Pepe will talk with you while making your order. He is super nice and funny and is always joking around. When I brought my brother here he stopped what he was doing to talk with us for a while and take a couple of pictures. He even gave us a bit extra manjar in our churros :) This small churro truck should not be missed while in Bella Vista, it is a perfect snack for anytime of the day and will always have you wishing you bought one more... Tip: I think this is a given, but just in case, bring cash! They don't take cards. Also, check the news, if there is going to be a big strike during the afternoon, they usually don't open.

We were looking for a cute spot with traditional Chilean dishes and this spot didn't disappoint. I kinda regret not getting empanadas but we got a pie esque dish and a ceviche which were both pretty yummy. Chilean food feels pretty hearty and homie, so if you're looking for cute local, in a hip neighborhood then La Mensajería should be one of the first spots you check out.

I'd definitely recommend this spot and can only imagine what their main menu has to offer.
