Pan de Magia, Valparaiso 11-2016

In Cerro Alegre, there's 2 known empanaderias - Taller de Masas and Pan de Magia. I had the lucky opportunity (stomach space) to try both during the same late morning.

Pan de Magia didn't have any empanadas ready until after 12pm so I had to come back after visiting Taller de Masas, which in hindsight was lucky. They only serve one type of empanada here - Carne Mechada for CLP2500 (which is a LOT for an empanada). 

However unlike the substandard generic ones sold in cafes and bakeries, this was delicious, well seasoned and piping hot. Definitely better than Taller de Masas in my mind and better than all the other empanadas I tried in Chile and Argentina.
