Honest verdict on Humitas — good but not exceptional
Humitas here was solidly made — simple and hearty without anything to complain about. merkén smoked chilli was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.
Chilean cuisine reflects the extraordinary length of the country with Pacific seafood, Andean ingredients, and Patagonian lamb all defining different regions. The a Santiago picada local restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough. terremoto cocktail was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Humitas this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
