A classic Copiapó lunch spot beloved by mine workers, office staff, and anyone who knows where to eat. Donde el Gordo serves set almuerzo menus — soup, a main course, bread, and a drink — at prices that make sense on a working wage. The mains rotate daily but lean toward stewed meats, rice, and the kind of stick-to-your-ribs cooking that the Atacama climate seems to demand. Cash only, and arrive before 1pm if you want a table.
