Yesterday we were invited to a dinner in the house of European friends that just arrived to the city. The dinner was at 20:00 and we decided to make an effort an arrived on time. As the effort was so big, we arrived too early. To kill the time we went for a walk in Piedra Roja (the dinner was in a Condo close to the Laguna). There, I found a store of La Punta and I thought I would recommend this place to them to find good quality prepared food. Immediately after, I had a “positive prejudice” and I said, “they probably won´t buy prepared food… they must cook”. Once I was at the dinner, they mentioned that back in Europe they used to buy delivery and prepared food all the time and here it is difficult to find.
That was the moment that I recommended La Punta. I had already used it for a different occasion, including new year´s eve dinner. It is especially useful at the beginning that you are meeting new people and you don´t have a lot of time to cook (or the skills like in my case).
I recommend the lasaña Camaron Jaiba or Boloñesa. You can also try the roast beef or turkey with different sauces. You don´t even have to think about the dessert, you can buy it there. I recommend suspiro Limeño, Postre 3 leches and Tiramisu. The “Quiches” are an excellent option for a quick weekend lunch.
You can find La Punta stores in different locations: Chicureo, Lo Barnechea, Las Condes and Vitacura.
