Service 👔 : Great service. The waiter was kind enough to help us with the menu. Had to use Google translate. Atmosphere 🌌 : restaurant located in an alleyway. Have both indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean. Easy to navigate. Food 🥝 : tried 1.pastel de choclo and 2.Reineta Frita o Plancha con Papas Fritas. Both authentic Chilean dishes. I wasn't a big fan of it. Not my taste bud. Fish fry was very bland (maybe that how it supposed to be). Price 💸 : $40 (usd) for 2. Recommendation: Definitely give it a try if you wanna try authentic Chilean food. 🇨🇱

Very nice and tasty place; a top contender when it comes to traditional Chilean food. They deliver surprisingly fast, and the portions are very good for the price.

Food was great, we had pino empanadas which are deep fried and filled with beef and onions, and the national dish pastel de choclo, which is a baked chicken stew crusted with cream of corn (or something similar, that’s what it tasted like!). The service was odd, friendly but they kept making all sorts of mistakes with the ordering and the bill. Removed one star because I don’t like all the cigarette smoke on the patio but I know that happens everywhere.

Got to say we like the Chilean crudo here very much! Fresh and tasty with coordinador and onion~ The queso empanadas were aired and full of cheese 🧀 just simply delicious. Glad we visited this restaurant because this was very local♡ chirimoya and piña juices were fresh and natural, they have a juice bar corner! 🍹 The service was great even we spoken very poor español 😆 hope can try other Chilean foods and crudo again, miss it already!
