"A Santiago Legend: El Rápido Empanadas Every day 2,000 empanadas are freshly made at this historic food landmark on the corner of Bandera and Huérfanos in El Centro. Santiaguinos pop in for a gooey fried cheese empanada slathered in hot chili sauce, piping hot. Stand in at the counter and order a "Pap" soda, flavored with Chilean papaya like the locals. Bandera 347, almost corner Huérfanos Phone: 56(2) 2672 2375"

Top Service, very friendly owner who gave us information about the neighborhood! Good place to try the Chilean Completo as well. We paid about 16 EUR for two Completos and two drinks which I find a bit expensive. Also, they put so much mayonnaise on top. But in general, it was a favorable experience

This is algo a must place to visit while in Chile, the name comes after the service has to be quick, el rápido, they serve variety of food but I recommend trying our Chileans empanadas de Pino (fried onion, beef, olive and a piece of boiled egg) and Barros Luco (beef and cheese), try it adding Pebre and then you tell me how was it. 5/5 as it has never disappointed me, also here is Carlos that works for years now there, very gentle and passionate with his job, ask for him.

Quick service, good food, and friendly staff. My friend and I do not speak much Spanish, but the staff was very helpful in getting us served classic Chilean hot dogs and empanadas. Inexpensive as well!

If you're on a hurry and starving, El Rápido offers cheap and delicious fried empanadas. As its name suggests (Rápido means quick, fast), this Restaurant delivers your order in seconds. Try a simple Cheese Empanada with a cold soda. Definitely recommended.

It's really fast and good, next to the precolumbian museum, lots of bartenders around to make sure you're always well attended.

The seafood empanada wasn't that good but the other 2 very very delicious. The dough is so nice. Definitely great empanadas better than Paraguay, and Argentina

Great place to grab a quick lunch. Durning the lunch rush they remove the chairs and you can only stand at the counters. I had some sort of soup and a cheese empanada + a coke in a glass bottle. The food comes very quickly, 30 seconds after you order it. I did get some comments about being a foreigner but when they realized I could understand what they were saying we all had a good laugh. My suggestion is to order one item first and then look around the room and see what other people are eating. There is a good chance the locals know better than you what is good. If you are in the area this is a great experience, nothing fancy but really fun to watch their system work like clockwork. They also have seating outside but you loose something sitting down.

A fine, fast place for empanadas. Pretty fast. Kind of like the Johnny Rockets of empanadas?
