Been in Santiago for 3 days and we got this placed delivered tonight through uber eats to the hotel-- super tasty. like really good. wife was super happy as was I -- nothing was super spicy and everything had great flavor -- we did ask for utensils and they ended up not coming with the bag so i had to head down to the hotel resturant to borrow forks but the food was good enough im not even gonna knock a star off for that.
