Las Delicias del Arrayán

Que wea tan rica!!!
Las Delicias is the best Chilean cuisine in Santiago hands down! Its rustic location brings out the Chilean countryside, savory, delicious homestyle meal! Is this restaurant modern… no, but it’s people and dishes give it the charm that it warrants. Las Delicias is a bit like going back in time, before tv, before radio and electricity and gives off a countryside Chilean home feel.
The food is OUTSTANDING!
The both meat (de pino) and cheese empanadas are delicious. The crust (masa) has a perfect texture and once you take a bite it takes you to what I like to call a «Chilean Heaven!» The bread and pebre is good just like any other Chilean joint, but the main dishes are what make Las Delicias stand out from any other Chilean restaurant in the city.
I had the plateada delicias which was a piece of steak smothered in a white wine mushroom sauce and with papas duquesas on the side. OMG… taking a bite out of the plateada and papa duquesa is like an orgasm in your mouth. I wish I could describe it to you better, but my measly description wouldn’t do the justice. This is a MUST HAVE dish!
For desert i tried the torta de mereque lucuma and it was OUTSTANDING! I wish I hadn’t eaten so much before so i could have eaten the desert all by myself.
Besides the mouthwatering, delicious food I love that this restaurant is a family run establishment with the abuelita in the kitchen and her son looking after the service! Wifi is decent (you’ve got to ask the waiter for the passcode) and the service makes you feel right at home!
I have been here twice and both times it have been incredible!
