OMG!
I'd
researched
on
YELP
for
the
BEST
Steakhouse
nearest
me
&
Chacarero
Steakhouse
came
up
as
#1.
After
reading
the
first
reviews
by
Americans
that
were
ALL
positive,
I'd
NEEDED
to
check
this
place
out
for
myself!
&
I'm
SO
GLAD
that
I
did!
This
was
for
an
early
celebration
of
the
American's
Mother's
Day,
a
day
before,
along
with
the
combined
European
Father's
&
Christian
Ascension
Day,
next
Sunday
&
I
can't
tell
yall
that
even
though
the
meal
for
my
husband
&
myself
was
a
little
on
the
pricey
side,
it
was
well
worth
every
euro.
We'd
placed
our
phone
order
yesterday
for
Saturday
ONLY
take
away
orders
because
of
the
COVID
lockdown
restrictions.
The
owner
is
AMAZING
&
is
very
passionate
about
his
restaurant.
Strongly
emphasized
to
my
husband
&
myself
that
his
Chilean
wife,
himself
&
their
staff
cook
with
heart.
For
me,
a
Hawaiian
Islander
to
hear
that
someone
cooks
with
"ALOHA"
was
a
HUGE
marquee
with
bright
lights
screaming
for
me
to
go
here.
My
husband
&
myself
had
arrived
a
little
early
to
the
restaurant
before
they'd
opened.
So,
we'd
parked
in
the
parking
lot,
when
we'd
received
a
long
distance
call
from
our
daughter
&
grandchildren.
While
we
were
on
the
phone
the
owner
-
to
which
I'd
forgotten
to
get
his
name
-
walked
out
to
politely
let
us
know
that
our
order
was
ready
for
us
to
pick
up.
When
we'd
walked
in
to
the
restaurant,
the
owner
greeted
us
&,
actually,
took
us
on
a
short
little
tour
of
his
restaurant,
he'd
shared
that
he'd
spent
the
last
5
months
renovating
his
restaurant.
It
was
very
inviting
&
I
love
the
addition
of
the
electric
fireplaces
for
a
cozier
effect.
He'd
even
shared
with
us
that
they'll
have
live
music
on
Fridays
&
Saturdays
when
the
restrictions
are
lifted.
I
can't
wait!
He'd
shared
stories
of
the
Chilean
Red
Wines
that
they'd
served.
We'd
bought
2:
Cabernet
Sauvignon
&
a
Carmenere.
He'd
shared
with
us
that
the
second
wine
is
highly
sought
after
by
the
French
because
of
the
specific
grapes
that's
used
to
make
it
had
originated
in
France
but
it'd
died
out
because
of
some
type
of
disease
in
the
vines
in
the
1980's.
It
was
later
discovered
by
wine
enthusiasts
to
be
thriving
in
vineyards
in
Chile
in
the
1990's.
He
has
many
others
to
choose
from:
Whites,
Rose
&
Blended
-
all
from
Chile.
But,
he'd
shared
that
the
2
that
we'd
bought
were
his
favorite.
Even
shared
to
blend
the
2
for
more
flavor.
I
love
learning
new
things.
Since,
we
were
celebrating
American
Mother's
Day
for
myself
&
German
Father's/Christian
Ascension
Day
(which
is
next
Sunday)
for
my
husband,
I'd
decided
to
go
all
out
for
our
dinners.
We'd
ordered
their
largest
500
grams
Ribeye
Steak
with
sauteed
Potatoes.
The
owner
&
his
wife
had
blessed
us
with
fresh
baked
Pan
de
Casa
(a
WHOLE
Loaf
of
Bread)
&
extra
servings
of
their
fresh
homemade
San
Andreas
Salsa.
The
bread
was
so
soft
&
the
crust
was
crispy
like
a
French
Baguette.
When
we'd
dipped
our
pieces
of
bread
into
the
San
Andreas
Salsa,
OMG!
IT
was
SO
DELICIOUS!
The
Salsa
had
a
little
kick
to
it,
but
just
enough
to
savor
all
the
flavors
of
the
herbs
&
spices
in
it.
Not
overwhelming
at
all.
Then,
OMG!
The
steak
was
SO
TENDER!
It,
literally,
MELTED
in
my
mouth
like
butter!
The
owner
was
SO
PASSIONATE
when
he'd
shared
that
our
steak
had
been
slow
cooking
since
noon!
Our
pick
up
time
was
for
5pm.
Because
they'd
wrapped
our
steak
in
foil,
it
was
still
warm
when
we'd
gotten
home
25
minutes
away
from
the
restaurant!
With
SO
MUCH
juices,
too!
We
didn't
even
have
to
warm
it
up
again.
Just
plated
it
all
&
we
ate
our
dinner
in
COMPLETE
BLISS!
The
only
sad
thing
is
because
of
the
restrictions,
a
lot
of
their
side
items
on
their
menu
weren't
available.
Like
their
Seasonal
Salads
&
Corn
Casseroles.
But,
that
just
means
more
reason
for
us
to
go
back
to
visit
them
again.
If
you
enjoy
good
food
&
appreciate
Passionate
Chefs
that
cook
from
their
heart
-
with
ALOHA
-
then
this
is
a
place
that
you
won't
want
to
miss!
Check
their
website
for
updates,
too.
