From the moment we walked in, they made us feel incredibly welcome and right at home.

Our kids are still talking about how kind the staff was, and our 10-year-old even asked Freddie for the receipt for the meatballs and pasta before we left! Thank you, Meridian Market, for your kindness, generosity, and exceptional hospitality. It's rare to find a place that serves incredible food and makes you feel like family.

The servers inside are working their tails off...! Their work pace is not the issue, it's the establishment's popularity...! Looks very authentic inside like a restaurant / deli you might find in Firenze. I decided to order the Italian Sub as they make it; no changes. In hindsight, I should've changed a few things I kind of knew I wouldn't like, but wanted to roll with their take on the classic sub. The bread was very fresh and the meats abundant and plentiful! I was not a fan of the balsamic, nor the "hots" (not "hot" so-to-speak, but kind of a marinated sweet pepper, nor am a fan of sweet pickles. Condiments on their sandwich...? Mayonnaise (none), mustard (none). I believe it's only balsamic and EVIO. I ate a half sandwich and was quite full. I honestly threw the other half out. Wasn't my jam.

PRO-TIP: Place an order online for pick-up; walk up, go in the second door (to the left) straight to the counter where you pay and pick up your sandwich which will be ready by the time you get there.

While they were out of a lot of stuff around 530pm on a Wednesday, they thankfully had what my husband wanted to eat so he was relieved. His sandwich was perfectly toasted and quite delicious.

Someone came up looking for corned beef but there was less than a quarter of a pound left and he had marked it sold out. He was so nice and just gave her what he had left, gratis. I'd definitely come back here and have a bite when in town.

This place is basically a no-nonsense manufacturing line of sandwiches. Orders flying, ingredients moving, sandwiches being built one after another. It looks like controlled chaos, but these guys have it down to a science. I'll be honest, I realized pretty quickly that this particular style of sandwich just isn't really my thing. But that's entirely personal preference and has nothing to do with how well they make it. Everything was fresh, generous, well put together, and clearly made by people who know exactly what they're doing. If this is your kind of sandwich, I can absolutely see why people love this place. Great service, good vibes, and a really cool, authentic lunch-counter experience. They know what they do and they do it damn well. It might not be my go-to style of lunch, but I'd still recommend Chacarero without hesitation to anyone who looks at that sandwich and thinks, "That's exactly what I want."

When we arrived, the restaurant was surprisingly empty, with only four separate small parties dining there. Maybe it was because they were playing a Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie on the TV. We were seated immediately, but our table was directly behind the host stand. We ordered quickly and started with the Pastore salad, which is described as pear, walnut, and arugula. What arrived was a cold salad buried under ricotta and an overwhelming amount of balsamic glaze. Not balsamic vinegar--sweet glaze. It was easily the most sugary salad I've ever been served. If you're looking for something fresh and balanced, I'd skip it entirely. To make it even stranger, the cold salad was served in a piping hot bowl. The Pollo Pesto pizza, on the other hand, was quite good and was the highlight of the meal. The service was where things got really odd. The employee who seated us seemed to disappear after a service bell was rung by the cook. The cook rang it again about five minutes later, then eventually came out looking for the missing staff member. When he couldn't find him, he delivered our pizza himself. My husband had already asked for his beer again when the pizza arrived, and only then did the other employee reappear and get reminded by the cook about the drink. The whole experience felt disorganized and unusual. If you enjoy salads sweeter than an overhyped cannoli, this might be your place. The pizza was good, but the bizarre service and disappointing salad made it hard to justify a return visit.

Doors were open, ceiling fans providing a welcome breeze. There was one FOH employee on the restaurant side. There is also a smaller cafe side of the business. The small kitchen with pizza oven is in-between the two sides. The waiter sat us with menus. He was quite busy as the only one working the restaurant. He took a drink order and when those arrived we placed our meal order. He was keeping an eye on everyone, scanning as he made his way thru the diningroom, bringing waters to new comers and taking orders. My Pastore salad was very good. Fresh, nice dressing, good mix of flavors and textures, and large enough to share. The small pizza is big enough for two. Maybe more as part of a multi-course, shared meal. The menu is pub fare: pizza, salad and sandwiches, with an Italian touch. A small bar holds eight to ten seats. They offer a fairly good beer on tap menu. Seating is wooden tables and chairs. A glass wall at the sidewalk fills the space with light. A gender-neutral restroom is down the stairs. One stall has a urinal, two stalls have toilets. A sink seperates the stalls. There is no door to the resroom itself which is directly at the bottom of the stairs at the right side. Paid parking in a nearby garage or on-street if you can find a spot.
