Check out the latest from Barros Luco, the Chilean fast food sandwich and hot dog place on 52nd btw. 1+2nd… The BL Ace ($4.50): thin slices of steak served on a homemade hot dog bun and topped with Pebre and Aji Verde sauces. Dios mio, man. (If it had avocado it’d be perfect!)

Almost Missed This: The New York Times $25 and under column today mentions Barros Luco, the new Chilean sandwich spot on 52nd and 2nd. It's not a flat out rave, but praises the spot for its authenticity (despite the sandwiches being half the size of their Santiago counterparts.)

I guess the past two weeks were just the prelims, because Barros Luco (the new Chilean sandwich shop over on 2nd Ave. and 52nd Street) is celebrating its “official” grand opening today. So if you were turned off by an earlier visit, or were forced to wait 28 minutes for your food, maybe this means they’ve worked all the issues out. I was a fan from day one.

Barros Luco Is Just What New York’s Chilean Food Fans Have Been Waiting For
Posted by Zach Brooks at 1:30 pm, October 26th, 2009 under Barros Luco.
After visiting Chile last winter, I returned to New York City looking to feed my new-found craving for all the foods I had discovered on the trip. I needed an Empanada de pino, a heaping plate of chorrillana, completos, and churrasco sandwiches. And I wanted to wash it down with a mote con huesillos. And while you’d think NYC has pretty much every cuisine you could ever possibly want, for some reason Chile is woefully underrepresented… especially in Manhattan, where Pomaire (on 46th btw. 8+9th) is pretty much your only option (and too expensive for my taste.)
Well, this week my prayers to the food god of all things Chilean were answered when Barros Luco opened on 52nd Street, just east of 2nd Ave. Taking over the space that was occupied by 99 Miles to Philly, it’s pretty far out of bounds for Midtown Lunch’ing purposes… but I will walk that extra 5 minutes when avocado topped hot dogs are involved!

I walked by Barros Lucco, the new Chilean sandwich shop opening on 52nd St. just East of 2nd Ave. (in the old 99 Miles to Philly space), and according to a guy inside they were getting their inspection today. That means they could be open as early as this weekend. Churrascos and chacareros for everyone!!!

Barros Luco is Bringing Chilean Sandwiches to Midtown East
Posted by Zach Brooks at 1:45 pm, October 2nd, 2009 under Barros Luco, Out of Bounds.
August is shaping up to be “Crazy New Chains” month. After weeks of being all carts all the time, it looks like Midtown has switched gears. Last week it was the piada, and yesterday we heard about the middle eastern Chipotle, and the kolache. But out of all of those, I think I’m most excited for this latest one… Barros Lucco: a new, Chilean quick service lunch spot taking over the old 99 Miles to Philly location on 52nd and 2nd. That particular out of bounds location seems a tad bit cursed, since it has seen burgers, and philly cheesesteaks fail in succession. But these are Chilean sandwiches! Something you can’t get anywhere else in Midtown.
The menu will not only feature Chilean sandwiches, like the churrasco, and chacarero, but also the completo- a Chilean hot dog topped with mayo and mashed avocado. The owner was born in Chile, and the Barros Luco website links to two posts I wrote about an actual Chilean completo and churrasco, so I have high hopes that this place will be bringing the real deal to Midtown. Want to see what they are supposed to look like? Check it out after the jump.
