Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "fee" (as in "feet") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

Really good, excellent, top quality in Chile. It's the praise for something above average that left you satisfied and you'd recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Examples

That restaurant is filete, the food is incredible.

Your idea was filete, the team killed it.

A saying that means troublemakers, corrupt people, and bad actors always seem to survive and never face real consequences. Used with resignation or dark humor across Central America and Mexico when someone shady keeps landing on their feet no matter what they do.
