I was not sure what to expect with the food in Chile but after being here for a only a day, I can say I am very excited about what other food this city has in store! For lunch, per recommendation of our tour guide Sergio, I went to spot just down from our hotel and got the Viena Italiana as well as the Viena con queso. Both were amazing especially the Viena Italiana. You would not normally think to put avocado or mayo on a hotdog but somehow it worked really well and tasted even better.
After lunch when the group was at Cerro San Cristobal, I saw many people coming down with an interesting looking drink and thought I would give it a try. The drink called mote con huesillos was a sweet and refreshing way to end our time at Cerro San Cristobal. I thought it most tasted like a sweet syrup one might find associated with canned fruits. Finally, to end the day, I enjoyed some local cuisine at a place called La Mensajeria. Here, I had two different types of empanadas. One was mushroom with cheese and another was chicken with olives. Both were very tasty and if someone is looking for a place to eat this week I would highly recommend dining there!
