A Great Non-Burger Lunch Option: A Chacarero
The suits in downtown Boston know the very best lunch spots. And at lunch-time Chacarero's always has a (fast-moving) line that goes out the door.
Chacarero's makes just one thing and makes it extremely well- the chacarero - a Chilean sandwich made of grilled chicken or beef (there is a vegetable version too), topped with muenster cheese, avocado , tomatoes, hot sauce and steamed green beans all on a freshly-baked round loaf of bread. Green beans in a sandwich may sound odd- but it is what makes the chacarero so tasty!
The small is huge-and a bargain at $6. The large is big enough to share and costs only $7. Chacarero's started years ago as a humble push-cart at Downtown Crossing but now has gone big time-both locations have seating. Chacarero's is a Monday through Friday operation and is open from 11 AM-7PM.
