Portal Fernandez Concha
Stop at Ex Bahamondes, a local favorite spot, to taste Chile's iconic completo italiano - a loaded hot dog topped with mashed avocado, diced tomatoes, and creamy mayo.

Aillavilú 1030
Try two Chilean classics that locals love: the famous terremoto cocktail and traditional arrollado de huaso. The terremoto is a sweet, strong drink made with white wine and pineapple ice cream that earned its "earthquake" name for good reason - it packs a punch! Enjoy it alongside slices of arrollado, Chile's beloved rolled and seasoned pork. This pairing perfectly captures Santiago's casual drinking and eating culture at authentic neighborhood spots.

Avenida La Paz
Refresh yourself with mote con huesillo, Chile's most beloved traditional drink. This unique sweet beverage combines cooked husked wheat (mote), dried peaches (huesillos), and a cinnamon-spiced syrup served ice cold. It's the drink you'll see locals enjoying on street corners, at markets, and throughout Santiago - especially on warm days. This nostalgic refreshment has been a Chilean favorite for generations and offers a taste experience you won't find anywhere else in the world.
