Aquí Jaime

I just visited end of Sept 2025. The Pros and Cons. All I really wanted was to get delicious machas a la parmesana. Everytime I come to Chile, I have tons of Machas. For past 30 years I’ve always had machas and they always taste fabulous. Not this time. It had no flavor. I feel like they forgot to add an ingredient. I didn’t want to complain cuz I was meeting a dear friend from high school - it wasn’t worth it. We both agreed the service was spectacular. I also ate another dish and it was okay. The ambience was great and what was expected from such a great location. The lower section is amazing and it seems every table in lower location has each great view. The place is very clean including the bathrooms. They attended us quickly without reservation and it all worked out okay. I’m still bumbed about the machas. I feel like this trip I missed them. Next time!

This was my first place to eat in Vina Del Mar. It was recommended by friends and they asked me to get traditional dishes from Chile. I didn’t know what to expect. Everything was fried and with a lot of French fries😅 the conchas were good as well as drinks and the view phenomenal! I think I will try something else next time but that’s why my 4 ⭐️

Visited this place after a long day at the beach.🌞👍 Wonderful views of the bay area, ocean and buildings behind. Modern and up market ambience with outdoor seating. You can see small fishes and otters swimming around the rocky shores and some seagulls sitting on the rocks waiting for a quick bite while you enjoy your meal. The staff is helpful and courteous. Seafood is the speciality here. Tried shellfish and crispy fried squid.🐙🍤🍛🍴 The quality was fresh and good. The quantity of the dishes were satisfactory. Taste was pleasant and refreshing. The pricing was reasonable. Overall a nice place to be and soak in the amazing atmosphere. Me and my friends enjoyed our time here and recommend this place to all visitors.🎉🎊🍸🍺🍻🍷🍹

As the checkout of the villa was at mid day, we could not have lunch at the lodge, so we looked for a place to dine near the coat. The commendation was at “Aquí Jaime” locate at Concón town. The coastal road where the restaurant is located is being rebuilt, so it goes on one direction, which was difficult for us to arrive from the direction we were coming from. The services is very good, and fast. We asked for “Locos” a type of Abalone that is collected from the coast by divers. This is the first time I have a very tener “Loco”, guess this was the farmed version of the Asian Abalone which is bigger. Although the food and services was excellent, and not having wine, the bill was pricy for Chilean standards, every sider is charged separately, even the dark butter for the fish.

Great food selection and tastes fresh. Best part was the location/view.

Great Seafood, seaside views, good wine selection, friendly staff and an overall great experience, Ceviche was on point

I really enjoyed the place. There are 2 floors, you can sit inside and outside. Spectacular view to the ocean. Many seafood and meat options. Fantastic place!

Loved their cochayuyo ceviche! All the ingredients (all dishes) were fresh and perfect. Service is excellent as well. Big thumbs up.

While it had a great view, Aqui Jaime cannot earn anymore than three stars on my scale. Having heard rave reviews from my cousin, I had a certain expectation and while it wasn't met, I am not a jerk and wont make this a complain-fest... ...not really. Firstly, the smell. I have a very particular set of pet peeves revolving around scent. In an establishment where I will be consuming food or beverages... I cannot stand the smell of mildew/cleaning products/bad meat. Sadly, this establishment had a very foul odor to it. Good thing for the wine and pisco sour ;) Secondly, the reineta I ordered... was very dry. I understand that it is a rather thin filet they used, but it was really dry and the shrimps (shrimp?) in the shrimp sauce ontop, weren't helping. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal and for them, I am giving the three stars. The service was great too, but I wouldn't go back. Wait. Maybe I would and order the chowder type dish my cousin had. It was pretty delicious!
