2 Best Restaurants in Copiapo, El Norte Chico

Located inside a former gas station, this restaurant has seafood, Chilean classics, and pizza on the menu. While the overall experience here can be hit-or-miss, Drive In remains one of the more popular lunch and dinner spots for Copiapó locals.

This eatery is a vegan-friendly oasis in the Atacama Desert. Open only for lunch, it serves unpretentious, hearty food like Indian-style rice, dahl, and vegetable dishes or a classic Chilean empanada made from soya. The homemade bread is great. You can also arrange delivery by Instagram.
