Cazuela exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Cazuela made with real commitment to shellfish from Patagonia and technique. The smoky and herbal result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

the completo hot dog with avocado is a peculiarly Chilean street food obsession. The a Valparaíso seafood market was exactly right for this kind of eating. Carménère was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
