Just wow. We had the best dinner of our two-week trip to Chile at Cuerovaca tonight. We were a…read moreparty of five (teenage kids joined us) and honestly from start to finish we were blown away by the service, the ambience, and the quality and PURE DELICIOUSNESS of the food. Our hostess was super friendly even though only one of us spoke Spanish. We were seated right on time and Enrique our server tag teamed with Patricio (who spoke perfect English) to take amazing care of us. Delicious warm bread with three toppings to start (refilled too). Which was great because the kids were super hungry! Enrique recommended a seared salmon appetizer and a delicious fried avocados and chicken appetizer that were out of this world. We had four different cuts of steak from ribeye to sirloin to spareribs to flank steak and a burger with truffle fries to top it off. Everyone LOVED THEIR FOOD. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. Patricio even explained the four different Chile meat temperatures for us so we knew exactly what to expect. We had a side of gnocchi with pesto cream (best I've ever had, definitely made from scratch) and desserts were chocolate lava cake, profiteroles and crème brûlée. We had an EPIC experience at this magical buzzing steakhouse and we can't wait to come back. Huge kudos to Patricio and Enrique for making our evening so special. We are so grateful.

It was busy, but we had made a reservation and were seated at the sushi bar. This turned out to be a great decision, as you can watch the small team of chefs preparing your food right in front of you. It's like being in the front row on MasterChef Being unsure what to choose from the extensive menu, or server suggested trying the tasting menu, which they prepared according to it dietary choices {no meat or dairy}. With a nice bottle of Chilean sauvignin blanc cooking on ice, wee watched enthralled as a parade of exquisitely prepared dishes were placed in front of us. I can't begin to describe how tasty they all were, and just as we were ready to call it a day, they brought it the main course! Just fabulous food, great service, and a wonderful visual experience all round. It's easy to see why this place is rated as the best restaurant in town. Don't miss it!

The food was the real highlight. The steak and egg sandwich was insane in the best possible way: tender meat, a perfectly runny egg, and a bun that actually held everything together. Even the traditional Chilean drink with the toasted grains at the bottom was something I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did. It's different, but absolutely worth trying. The whole experience just worked. Relaxed atmosphere, great flavors, and people who clearly care. Easy 5 stars.

The restaurant isn't much to look at - it's actually the classic hole in the wall. I believe there might actually be two or three separate, small dining rooms. The one we were seated in was very small, maybe eight tables max, and garishly painted in a maritime theme with a black and white checkered tile floor. If you're looking for a white tablecloth fine dining environment, this place probably isn't for you. We were seated promptly by a friendly server. It helps to know a little Spanish, which pretty well describes my proficiency. Luckily, they have a menu with English translations. It was all good except our server recommended the seafood "pil pil" (the one without cheese), which was translated as "pil pil". Hmmm. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try. We also ordered some ceviche to share. Do not go here if you're in a hurry - the pace of service is leisurely. If you're at the Mercado, you're probably on VC - so accept the laid-back Latin pace, sit back and order a bottle of wine. You can people watch and sip a Chilean red while you wait for your food. I took it as a good sign that we were the only Yanquis in the joint - everyone else looked to be local. Chances are that at some point, a street vendor will pop in and try to sell the diners toys, bandages, chewing gum or whatever. Don't worry - it's all part of the experience. If you don't want what they're selling, smile, say "no gracias" and wave them off. The meal started out right with complimentary hot biscuits served with butter. These were followed about 20 minutes later by the ceviche. Very generous serving, fresh tasting, and oh so delicious. As good as it was, we couldn't finish it, because the seafood pil pil was even bigger. Turns out pil pil is a delicious, buttery seafood stew, served in what looked like a cast iron dish. Tio Willy is certainly not stingy with the seafood - I posted a picture so you can see for yourself. Seafood lovers will mostly dig it, although if calamari turns you off, you might want to order something else. Overall, a great place to try fresh Chilean seafood.

This place was a little shaky at first, based on the fact that it's a market. There were two of these restaurants in the market, we picked the closest one to the entrance on San Pablo. My wife ordered the ceviche Peruano with cubes fish and a side of avocado (Palta). I ordered the camarones pil pil (a spicy dish). Both dishes were very clean and fresh. My wife's dish was a sort of salad with chopped up iceberg, red onions and tomatoes. My dish was a a bowl of bubbling very very hot broth with a small hill of small shrimp. Don't worry about the cats jumping on the empty cleaned up displayed trays where they sell fish. Go for it, you won't regret it.
