In the mid-20th Century, laborers coming back from work at the harbor wanted to eat something delicious, filling, cheap and fast—and they wanted lots and lots of it. The result is the chorrillana: a mountain of French fries, eggs, grilled onions and beef. Though you’ll find a variety of chorrillanas across the city—some with colorful additions like sausage or tomato—the birthplace of the dish lies in a tiny restaurant called Casino Social J Cruz ("Jota Cruz"). The Casino Social serves only drinks and chorrillanas, and the walls are covered with hand-written messages from previous visitors, creating a unique atmosphere that all travelers should experience.
