La Mejor Comida Chilena

Stopped at this little Chilean restaurant in Crossroads’ food court while shopping today. Some dude completing his order told me, «try their food, it’s really good.» Sold. We asked about the soup they had on display, and the lady behind the counter told us that they only had soup whenever her Mom felt like making soup; but she should be making the soup all season.
I ordered the humitas, a corn and basil stuffed tamale, since the sign said they took 48 hours to prepare and slow cooked food usually means it’s good food :) I also got it with their homemade salsa. The humitas were amazeballs, very rich tasting, slightly sweet and full of corn-​y deliciousness. Eat it with their salsa, or you might get overwhelmed! I’m lamenting that I didn’t get a bigger container of salsa right now, because it’s so hard to find decent salsa in Calgary. A lot of the mexican restaurants tend to use canned stuff or *horror of horrors* Old El Paso, but not this place.
Next time I go, I’ll try their empanadas since that’s supposed to be their specialty, but the good salsa is already an indicator that this place is one to recommend :)
