tHANK YOU DEEEDE. I heve to give Garces thanks for put peruvian cuisine in the news but not authentic peruvian cuisine. There is a few restaurants El Balconsito I and II, is good.Pollo a la Brasa (call before 11:30am to reserve you Pollo, because after 12:30pm is gone!!), cebiche ok also, jalea is good, parihuela it is one of its best. In my opinion, Chifa Restaurant is not authentic Peruvian food, I did when i Garces fusion is interesting but not enough to compare with Peruvian taste.
Sol del Peru, forget about it, never recommend this Restaurant, sorry but not. I will try to go a new restaurant The Chicken House in newark, Delaware (Red Mill Shopping Center), my friends told me that its good and have a variety of peruvian dishes.

I’m sorry but, why is this restaurant even called Chifa? To begin with, I only saw a couple of dishes that can be considered original Chifa food. The rest of them are traditional non-chifa peruvian dishes. 10 bucks for a pisco sour that’s not even good?thanks but no thanks. The food is OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Mr Garces said that he went to Peru to look at the cuisine? really? where? the only dish (of the many I got) that looked like an original was the ceviche. The salsa a la huancaina is not good. To which restaurants he went to in Peru, I wonder. Probably the very expensive ones, but I have news here, the expensive ones are not the best ones.(believe me, as a born and raised peruvian, I know). If you want real great peruvian food you go to the ones that are not located in the tourist area.
To make things short, don’t go to Chifa if you want a real peruvian cuisine experience. Go to some restaurante in the NE or Upper Darby.
