"The traditional dish chorrillana is enjoyed throughout Chile, though it is commonly believed to have been invented in Valparaíso, and more specifically at the restaurant J. (say Jota) Cruz. Both delicious and daunting, the chorrillana’s mountain of french fries, meat, onion and egg is best shared with a friend."
"This bar-restaurant is known nationally for its exquisite Chorrillanas."
"Casino Social J Cruz in Valparaiso was the best place for chorrillana in Chile."
"Chips, meat, onion and eggs, and it’s done! This is the iconic dish of Valpo: La Chorrillana. The legend says that it was invented in the J Cruz Social Casino so no one leaves here without trying this bomb of flavour… and calories that unite in one dish: chips, fried egg, fried onion, melted cheese and salted beef."
"The Chorrillana, it bears repeating, is a wonderful creation of fries covered in egg, grilled onion and slices of beef. I was lucky enough to enjoy one in its apparent birthplace, J Cruz M Casino Social y Museo. There are imitators all over Chile, but the J Cruz M Casino Social has the original."
"Finally the plate arrives, succulent and especially tasty. It was good not to mix the meat with the onion or the egg, as they do everywhere else. Here they respect the flavor of each ingredient. Down the french fries, then the egg, then the onion and finally the meat. A simple combination but well prepared, not overcooked."
