My family and I had dinner at Pericu while visiting Santiago for a day. The restaurant was recommended by Luis, the owner of the Hotel Don Julio we stayed at.

You’ll be sure to love how this food is seasoned well, but no spices. Take your food to the salsa bar and add all the yummy flavors you desire to your meal. Hopefully they’ve turned the television to a YouTube Spanish music video channel where you can enjoy traditional music while...
