We visited on a Saturday night and I was surprised at the size of the interior! It has the feeling of a tiny neighbourhood joint, but is actually a bit larger than I expected, with a whole additional dining room in the back portion of the restaurant. Upon entering you’ll be met with a glass case filled with tasty-looking take-away items and baking. The people working were very friendly and told us that we could sit wherever we wanted.
Once seated, we looked over the menu and began to figure out what we wanted to order. I had wanted to order one of their fresh juice cocktails to drink, but was unfortunately informed that they no longer had any left. Instead, I picked a canned pineapple Goya juice ($2.00).
I’d heard that their best items were the sandwiches and empanadas, so I focused my efforts on those items. There are eight sandwiches to choose from and each one sounded very good. I picked the Barros Luco (beef steak, cheese, tomatoes & avocado - $5.75) because choosing their namesake sandwich seemed like a good idea. All of their sandwiches are the same great price. Out of their six different empanadas to choose from, I went with the Chicken ($3.50). I really loved the flavourful sandwich a whole lot! It was a small little thing, but packed delicious and fresh flavours. The sandwiches are served on a light flatbread called pan amasado and between them the quality ingredients shine through. The lean, thinly sliced steak was tender and juicy, the cheese was melty, and the tomato and avocado were bright and fresh. I loved everything about it. We were given a bottle of homemade hot sauce to use which I also loved. It tasted a bit like sambal chili sauce except with a Latin kick to it and it went great with everything. The sandwich is small enough that you could probably order two or three of them in various flavours if you wanted to. It would be great to pop in to have one as a quick snack, or make it into more of a meal by ordering other items as well.
The empanada was also quite good, but I would say that I preferred the sandwich overall. The golden-baked hot pocket was filled with a chicken mixture and it tasted a little bit like onion soup. Again, the hot sauce worked really well in amping up the flavours a bit.
Next time I would like to try the Completo, a Chilean hot dog. And maybe the seafood empanada for something more different.
The desserts looked too good to pass up and we ordered a Berliner ($2.00) and an Alfajor ($2.50). These were both super good! The berliner was a lot like a donut filled with custard. It was a little bit dense but also quite light at the same time and not too sweet. The alfajor seemed a bit more traditional to this style of cuisine and seemed to use a similar type of bread as what the sandwiches were made from, except even lighter and flakier. The filling inside was dulce de leche and the whole thing was rolled in coconut. Again, delicious and not too sweet. These were both very good desserts.
Barros Luco is simple and delicious food. And you cannot beat the prices, that’s for sure. I’m really glad to have tried this place, especially with it being so close to where I live, because I can see myself craving their little sandwiches often and wanting to try them all!
