EL CHALAN RESTAURANT – Chinese
El Chalan Restaurant is a Peruvian restaurant on Washington Avenue in the Miami area, one of the oldest Peruvian kitchens in South Florida, tracing back to 1985 as part of the wave that established Peruvian cuisine locally, despite the workbook's cuisine field mislabeling it Chinese. The menu holds to a classic criollo style built around ceviche, lomo saltado and arroz chaufa, alongside heartier plates such as seco de res, a beef and cilantro stew, and tallarines verdes served with a breaded steak. It remains popular with the local Peruvian community for maintaining its long-running menu rather than chasing newer trends.
