Bajon En Seattle
A Chilean-Argentine hole-in-the-wall where the owner, Rodrigo, makes everything from scratch: bread, mayo, empanadas, sauces. Native Chileans come here and immediately feel at home. The sandwiches are enormous, the portions defy the price, and the bread alone—baked in-house every day—will ruin you for anywhere else.
Pro tip: It's inside a grocery store in a neighborhood you probably don't go to. When you find it, there are three tables and a bar. Don't bring a group larger than four.
