The perfect meal after a few beers at the bar – just a little something to satisfy your belly for the walk home. It is a vienesa (hot dog) on a toasted bun topped with a minimum of ¼ cup of diced tomatoes, huge dollops of palta (avocado) slathered on with what resembles a masonry trowel, and abundant squirts of mayonnaise. No Chilean sandwich is complete without mayonnaise- and a lot of it. This is the most popular completo with these three key ingredients giving it the name The Italiano- the colors of the toppings resemble those of the Italian flag hence the name Italiano.
They have multiple other topping combinations or you can create your own. Some of the toppings include black olives, cheese, sauerkraut, bacon, salsa verde, eggs, lettuce, peppers and much more. Domino is a restaurant here in Chile famous for their completos and they have over 16 different types from the Italiano, Irlandesa, Gringa, Brasilena, Rodeo, Suiza and many more. So if you are planning to come down and visit us... take a look at the menu now so you can have some time to decide which of the 16 completos you might want when you arrive - and come hungry!
