Straight from the streets of Chile to the depths of your belly, Mascot foodies are flocking to Pochito on Botany Road for all things empanada. This family-run restaurant occupies a sunny corner making for an ideal alfresco spot for a caffeine fix and catch up with friends, while indoors a rustic vibe of wooden floors, potted greenery and Chilean accents sets the scene for inspired dining. With a name meaning the happy-drowsy state of mind after a satisfying meal, be prepared for your own Pochito moment while chowing down on housemade garlic, chilli, prawn and cheese empanadas; or say hola to a chorizo roll, with grilled onions and fried egg. Be tempted by loaded chips, papa fritas, onions and lean rump steak strips; or a smoked sausage hot dog, tomato, smashed avocado, mayo and sauerkraut.
