I love this place. The barbecue chicken sandwich is my go to with a little extra hit of their hot sauce. It's a family owned, scratch environment which also adds to the atmosphere and service. I would recommend to anyone as a lunch option to their downtown rotation.
The combo is a contender for top sandwich in the city. This is a great spot to grab lunch for any financial district worker. There will most likely be a line, but it moves fast and is a nice busy atmosphere for a lunch break.
I haven't been to this location. The last time I had their sandwich was when they were near Filene's 30 years ago. I had the barbecue chicken with everything on it and it was just as delicious as I had remembered it. The chicken was moist, the spread was tasty, the green beans gave it great flavor, and the bread was wonderful. Sadly, I don't work close to here any longer but I will try to come back when I can. Juan and Andrea were wonderful host and hostess.
Delicious homemade items including the bread. However, the menu is a bit confusing as it doesn't clearly explain the protein options and spice levels.
This place is awesome! I've heard so many good things about Chacarero, but could never get there on time until recently. Got there at 1pm which was the sweet spot. The line was long but moved quickly! Almost everyone in line was a regular and did not waste any time. It's sandwich shop with a small section to sit and eat. The staff was so friendly. They knew it was my friend and I's first time and were super patient with us. They kindly recommended we get a combo and a bbq sandwich. I ordered the bbq while my friend got the combo. Both were so tasty and great portions. It was my first time eating a Chilean sandwich and it was an experience. The meat was fresh, the avocado spread was great, and I really enjoyed the crunchy green beans. I also asked for their homemade hot sauce which I recommend. I can't wait to go again!
Came here at 1 pm as they do close at 3 pm to find the lines long and fast. People had already placed orders or already knew what they wanted when walking in. One of the owners sweetly suggested we try their BBQ combos as they marinate the chicken and beef. My friend and I each order a large combo of the BBQ and original and split. Both sandwiches were so flavorful served inside soft and chewy bread. Although toppings were similar, the original had more of a pesto based taste and was spicier in my opinion. The BBQ was served with roasted bell pepper and tomatoes which I am a sucker for and was my preferred as a result. Overall, the food was phenomenal and the staff were so kind. I will absolutely come again to this hidden gem and hope others do too! Now I understand how they are able to stay afloat with their limited hours and rightfully so.
