Restaurant Details

You’ll find spaghetti and insalata caprese on El Chalan’s menu, but it’s the papas a la huancaina, carapulcra, and chicha you’ll want to order. This friendly, bare-bones El Sobrante restaurant serves gigantic portions of homey Peruvian (and Italian) food. The Peruvians’ innate genius with potatoes — hey, they invented ’em — shows up in just about every dish, including the top-notch ceviches. Despite their Spanish and Quechua names, most of the comfort-food dishes would make your Irish grandmother feel right at home.
