La Flor de Chile — Restaurant in Viña del Mar

I ordered the callos de Espana, the dish was pretty true to form, very mildly spiced yet quite flavourful. I asked for a little hot sauce and was brought Tabasco and Ahi Chileno. The Ahi Chileno was very flavourful and surprisingly picante and worked magic on the callos. The rest of my party all ordered lomo liso with papas salteado and some ordered beef a lo pobre.

We had expected this place to be lovely since the rating was high but we definitely won't...

The first word that comes to mind when I walked into this place is "nostalgia". The walls are covered with countless old photos, old paintings, old postcards, and various other memorabilia. Even the wait staff appear determined to to continue working to the end. The place, on it's own, is both charming and a little depressing at the same time. But I suspect that when the regulars come in at night and start to loosen up, the atmosphere becomes more festive and intoxicating. The filete I had was excellent. The meat was of good quality and properly cooked. I only wish I would have ordered the mushroom sauce. The service was prompt and courteous. The prices were standard for a full...
