The 38 Best Restaurants in Santiago, Chile | Eater

"From humble origins selling food and drinks to the workers of Santiago’s nearby central station in the early 20th century, family-owned El Hoyo has grown over the generations into one of the city’s most beloved restaurants. Santiaguinos stop by El Hoyo when they want a taste of porky, rustic comfort, whether that means the famous arrollado (boiled garlic and spice marinated pork loin wrapped in pork skin) or pernil (irresistibly tender pork hock). Grab a seat and sip on a terremoto while you wait; El Hoyo is one of several restaurants that’s credited with creating the iconic cocktail. Hillary Eaton" - Bill Esparza
