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.

Dry Chicken, whaaat?Hate to give this Chilean sandwich place only 3 stars but the barbecue chicken sandwich came with chicken so dry I had to fish most of it out. And flavorless, dismaying considering they claim to marinate their barbecued meats overnight. Everything else about this sandwich was superior, from the fresh baked bread to the spicy sauce, the avocado spread, tomato, cheese etc. Hopefully this was a one off culinary hiccup and not the norm.

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.

Tastes like something you would eat at a school cafeteria, complete with dry meat and a styrofoam plate.

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!

One of my first experiences with Chilean cuisine!I ordered a Small Chacarero Original. One thing's for sure: the sandwich is unique in that is uses green beans! While I don't see myself ordering a burger with green beans, here it works well.The sandwich was generally well balanced. The bread was terrific, and was plentiful meat, cheese, and veggies. However, a few key things were missing which kept the chacarero in "alright" territory.First, the meat desperately needed some basic seasoning. The chicken was nondescript, and the beef had only roasted beef flavors. Second, I feel a more generous slather of the avocado spread would be welcome. Finally, while I ordered the sando spicy, it had no perceptible heat of any kind, though this could be chalked to my fire-roasted tastebuds. Thus, with a lack of salt, pepper, and heat the chance to ended up being bland.Finally, where it comes to value, you get a hefty sized sandwich (even for a small) which has a fair amount of ingredients. As for service: it was very efficient, which I appreciate for the lunch rush.So what were left with is an almost great sandwich with some issues that made the experience lackluster. Though, salt, pepper, maybe some banana peppers for crunch is all it would take to move into four or five star territory.

One of the things I miss about working Downtown is my weekly sandwich from this place. Large chicken and beef combo with tomatoes, green beans, Muenster cheese, avocado paste, and hot sauce on freshly baked Chilean bread.This sandwich is single-handedly responsible for an 85% drop in office productivity between the hours of 1-3pm in a 1-mile radius.

The sandwiches at Chacarero are very solid, good ratios of chicken/beef and veggies to bread, my favorite is the BBQ combo. The prices have risen sharply over the past few years making it hard to justify going there and the dining area is small and noisy. I would recommend ordering as takeaway and enjoying in one of the near by parks.

I've been a customer from the time they were on the side of Filenes, about 20 years ago. Still a customer to this day. They have the best sandwiches ever. Fresh, quality ingredients, meet you all the time. I love the spicy sauce they make. It really is my favorite hidden spit in Boston.

The food is very delicious. I'd recommend the barbecue beef sandwich. (What I got) and include everything (unless there's a topping you really hate I suppose). It's very tasty and I wish they would be open more. The service is fine, and the ambience is acceptable for a lunch restaurant. I believe the bread is made fresh and it is very nice
