Don Pablo's Kitchen Bakeshop - Chicago

I have been coming here since it opened. It was consistently great, with amazing empanadas and service. I am looking forward to the reopening in Wilmette! Best of luck, Pablo. I will keep coming wherever you are in the Chicago area!

The empanadas were delicious (Clasica and Neapolitan)! The corn pie and tomato salad were absolutely delicious and so fresh and authentic. To finish up the meal, we had the Alfajores and ordered more! They were so perfectly sweet. I went with my Chilean boyfriend’s family and they all said it’s authentic and highly recommended it!

If I could give these empanadas 1000 stars I would gladly do it! Impressively DELICIOUS!

Great empanadas. The real thing. If you're not familiar with Chilean empanadas these are different from other kinds. They are much larger and the filling is unique. One empanada can be a meal for most people. We also tried the Pastel de Choclo which was very well made and very flavorful. We made a 1+ hour drive and we were very pleased. We will definitely be coming back.

As a Chilean American it’s hard to find vegetarian Chilean food and there were 3 vegetarian empanada options. I tried the napolitana empanada and was pleasantly surprised by the seasoning that made it seem like I was eating a margarita pizza. This was a unique and creative spin on the traditional empanada I am used to. I also tried the Chilean tomato onion salad and it was delicious and authentic. Last but not the least, the alfajores were so fresh and perfectly sweet that we ordered one plate and quickly ordered the second. The owner was polite and knowledgeable about the food and culture. I’m visiting the area but will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Empanada and Chilean salad
