Spice level warning — Cazuela is not what I expected

I underestimated Cazuela. The simple and hearty description didn't prepare me for the reality. pebre herb salsa brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the completo hot dog with avocado is a peculiarly Chilean street food obsession. The a Santiago picada local restaurant setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Cristal lager cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
