The 38 Best Restaurants in Santiago, Chile | Eater
"Sanguchería history runs deep in Santiago, but with a new wave of young chefs embracing the cuisine, the classics are getting redefined in new and exciting ways. Among the best to tackle the cuisine and make it its own is José Ramon 277 in barrio Lastarria. Inside this casual sanguchería, you’ll find the young and cool sipping on pints pulled from 12 taps of Chilean craft beers while they pick at pichanga (cubed pork snout with pickled cauliflower, carrot, and olives) and wait for their food. The restaurant’s take on the lengua sandwich is a local favorite, but the plateada (brisket) is worth just as much attention. The mechada (slow-cooked beef) sandwich may seem typical, but the surprising addition of a sweet corn pastel de choclo, mixed with olives, caramelized onions, and fried egg, makes it stand out.
