Fodor's Review:

José Domingo Torres created such delicious dishes that other aristocrats "borrowed" him for their banquets. In 1879, he set up shop in this storefront on the Alameda. It remains of the city's best dining rooms, with red leather banquettes, mint-green tile floors, and huge chandeliers with tulip-shape globes. The food, such as lomo al ajo arriego (sirloin sautéed with peppers and garlic) comes from recipes by the mother of owner Claudio Soto Barría. He and his parents will likely greet you from their little table near the front door.
