10 of us (all students) went for a friends Birthday and we all loved it. Great food with very attentive staff who are happy to help. The menu was varied and the steak with Chorizo and garlic mash potato was delicious, and prices were very reasonable for the quality of the meal. Definitely worth a visit! More

Worst meal in a long time - can't believe the other reviews on TripAdvisor. Fish wasn't cooked, meat that came with pasta was dry/inedible. Highlight was good service and we weren't charged for our (inedible) meals. More

This place very well might have the best appetizer I've ever had in my life. The equadorian shrimp and scrambled eggs. It melted in my mouth and I was seriously considering ordering it again as a dessert. Great prices in provedencia right next to liguria. They had a special that night that unfortunately we couldn't do because we were flying... More

I broke a personal travel "rule" which is to never eat at the same restaurant twice when visiting a new vacation spot. My brother and I had such a wonderful dinner at Del Cocinero upon our arrival in Santiago that one week later we lunched there before heading to the airport for our flight home. Above all the wait staff... More

Scallops were horrible, and the steak I got was like eating a shoe. Horrible altoghether. Even the waiter had an angry face, and did nothing except look at me stupid when I said that the steak I got was completely overcooked, even though I asked for "jugoso". I will never go back to this place. But, I should have guessed... More

We chose Del Cocinero from among several restaurants close to our hotel because of the high Trip Adviser ranking and we were not disappointed. A cozy oasis on a busy avenue with a bright and pleasant atmosphere inside and outside. The menu offered a wide selection of meat, seafood and pasta starters and mains along with generous salads and sides.... More

I can be but positive about the lunch I had. I only had the main course, a Peruvian dish with seafood and rice. Very simply, but prepared to perfection. The seafood was fresh and succulent. A delight. The wines very reasonably priced. The Pinot Noir we took was excellent. The chef personally came out to make sure everything was to... More
