El Puro Peru - Santiago

The restaurant located on Avda. Macul has a small, unassuming decor that hints at a place where you can find a mix of both good and bad options, all at low prices. While the establishment does not aim to be anything more than what it is, it falls short on its promise of being budget-friendly. For instance, a ceviche costs $8000 and a fillet with fettuccine $8100, prices that one would expect in the upscale neighborhood of Vitacura or in shopping malls in the eastern sector. The flavors are good and the portions are decent, but nothing stands out as exceptional compared to other restaurants. The service is friendly and attentive, as is typically found in Peruvian restaurants, but it lacks a certain finesse, making it neither very good nor very bad.

The restaurant may not have the best ambiance, but the food is delicious and affordably priced. However, we have noticed that the prices seem to increase every time we visit.
