Local Tips for Sandwich Lovers

When ordering a sandwich in Chile, don't be shy to ask for additional toppings or sauces to personalize your meal. Additionally, many sandwich places offer a 'menu del dia' (menu of the day) which includes a sandwich, drink, and side at a discounted price. Take advantage of this option to sample different flavors on a budget.

For a truly unforgettable sandwich experience, try the iconic Chacarero, a Chilean sandwich made with thinly sliced steak, green beans, tomato, and a spicy hot pepper called aaji. It's a unique combination that packs a flavorful punch.
