El Chalan was a great experience overall.
Staff was a little slow to serve and help us, we weren’t at a peek hour but the restaurant was kinda of full.
The food quality was great and the portion generous.
I’m giving 4 because the paella seafood was kind of over cooked, however it was still high q
A small but inviting place, don't let the first steps in the restaurant fool you, the food is delicious. Our meals were quite enjoyable, not as spicy or bold as they should have been but still quite good. The service was excellent as well. But one of the top things was the drink menu. A number of ve
When I entered I was immediately surprised. From the outside there are not a lot of clues as to what to expect. The place is small but it does not feel cramped. I really liked the choice of furniture because it looks like very well kept antique pieces and a little rustic. I ordered the Lomo Saltado
Authentic Peruvian cuisine with good wine. the prices are not that high considering this place is located in the heart of DC. they also serve good bread before the meal along with unique spicy sauce. very crowded during lunch time. reservation is recommended if you are on schedule.

As a first timer at El Chalan, and having heard positive first hand reviews, this place is fantastic. In fact, it's only my second Peruvian dining experience.

Great selection of auththetic Peruvian Cuisine, all at a reasonable price. Cold Peruvian Beer on offer too, along with a good wine list, which all hit the spot.. Helpful and friendly staff. All in all all, a pleasant evening experience..
So glad to have found El Chalan while here in DC on vacation. My family and I lived in Piura, Peru for almost 9 years which is in the heart of Peruvian creole food. We LOVE Peruvian food and this is as authentic as you can get. I even told my wife that the sala made me feel like we were transport
Surprisingly nice place below street level. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but cozy and well decorated inside. Helpful staff that was accommodating to split our check. We enjoyed a good ceviche mixto. I had the cabrito nortena. The flavors were spot on but the meat was dry. Next time I'll
I’ve been here 6 times over several years. I always love the food, service is typically slow, which is my only complaint.
This time I tried the Pollo Al Vino. Delicious flavor, great serving size, nice price, I only wish it came with more carrots and raisins.
Fantastic food, we took our kids (10,12,14) I had the lomo saltado,as did my wife, my daughter had a soup which was really good. We almost missed it though, as there's a Chinese restaurant called Chalin's, El Chalan is smaller and downstairs, but don't miss it.
