Fuente Alemana on Postcard

"Meet the Ultimate Sandwich: El Lomito Ask any Santiaguino the best sandwich they've ever had and they will wax on about el lomito. Marinated pork slow-roasted, shaved, and piled high onto a sandwich with copious amounts of mashed avocado, homemade mayo, and tomato slices--beer on the side. The institution and reference for all things "lomito" in Chile were born at Fuente Alemana. Grab a seat at the counter and let the 30-year veteran waitresses make you an "italiano" with the fixings. Don't even think about trying to pick it up--fork and knife a must. Av. Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins 58 (Plaza Italia, Metro Baquedano) Phone: 56 (2) 2639 3231"

Expect a line but it moves very quickly. The Italian style churrasco was the best (has avocados on top) and one sandwich can easily feed 2 people. We also tried the Romano with farmer style with mayo, it was good too but not as good as churrasco.

Such a gooood time. The vibe is amazing will overwhelm you but it’s so amazing. The food was satisfying. The beer could be colder.

Greasy burgers, can’t ask for more. Went around 4 ish and got the churrasco completo (beef).

tasty chilean sandwiches with friendly service. a well known spot and worth a stop to taste authentic chilean food. lomito italiano: large portion with good flavoring in the meat. the mayo wasn’t too rich which i liked. fresh avocado.

This place is a classic that I’ve come to since I was a kid visiting Santiago. They have large and delicious sandwiches for whatever is your preference. Lomito (pork) and churrasco (beef) seem to be the favorites, along with a large beer. Keep in mind that it’s popular, so a line outside of the entrance is not uncommon. Plenty of seating inside and out in the terrace, and you pay at the cash register inside.

I read many best of lists before my trip to Santiago that claimed this is a must-stop eatery in Santiago, despite the name meaning "German fountain". It definitely felt like an authentic local place with many Chileans eating inside, including families and people just off work. The place is set up like a diner or soda fountain (hence the name), which I really liked. The service and food was not amazing, but it definitely felt authentic. I got a Churrasco sandwich, which was huge and very messy. I tried to eat it by picking it up, like a normal sandwich, but struggled. I noticed many locals eating it with a fork and knife, which was definitely the better option. I would recommend a stop at this place. The food was pretty good and there menu is filled with many local favorites. It's definitely not a place to go out and eat but perfect for a midday meal or late night snack!

Since the pandemic, the place has expanded its sitting to the outside, sandwiches are the same, generous in every single ingredient, and mayonnaise is superb, as their pork (lomito) and chucrut recipes, The meat of my favorite sandwich, Rumano, didn't taste as usual, for the very first time.

I would have never thought to stop here. I’m not generally a sandwich person. But I do love German. And I’m always willing to try something so highly recommended. It did not disappoint. Very good!!!! Will come again some day.
