This unassuming hole in the wall, tucked away on Purisima Street, is one of the most spirited, genuinely Chilean places in town. With walls covered in graffiti and, not for the shy, marauding, often intoxicated, musicians who are likely to serenade you passionately with their dulcet tones, this is a fun and warm place to enjoy good value, traditional Chilean dishes served in a no-nonsense manner. There is no sign; to enter the restaurant, ring the doorbell.
