Las Pizarras Bistró

Las Pizarras Bistró Review

Quirky and kitschy, this 40-seat hole-in-the-wall looks like any of hundreds of other neighorhood hangouts throughout the city. But stop for a moment and take a look at the chalkboard-covered walls (las pizarras) and you'll know instantly this isn't your typical spot for cheap steaks and milanesas. Chef Rodrigo Castillo is one of the most unsung chefs in the city. He turns out a constantly changing, market-driven menu of a dozen plates of some of the most interesting, eclectic food you'll find in the area, and the local food cognoscenti line up to get in. There's an equally creative wine list spread out on other boards along one wall. Pricing is civil, portions are huge, service can be a trifle slow, but it's worth the wait.
