Very Good. The Arroz con Maricos was perfect. Seafood cooked to perfection. Service was cute & helpful. Ambiance seems a little shotty but it works well. There is also what seems to be an extensive Juice bar. Also the will put fries in the dish, not on the side. Works well if your into it. read more

Delicious food. I always eat the same thing whenever I go to Peruvian restaurants, but I always try to compare the dish and see which restaurant makes it better. Their Chicharron de Pescado was very good and they served a rather large portion. The fried fish chunks tasted fresh and were full of flavor. My family and friends really enjoyed their meals as well (mixed Ceviche, tostones, and Lomo Saltado). The staff was very friendly and attentive. It was really busy though and the place is not that big. Even though I want to go to other Peruvian restaurants in Miami, I will probably visit this place again on my next trip. read more

I came here based on the yelp recommendations. The food was excellent. I had the pescado con mariscos, which is a large piece of fish breaded and fried then covered with a mushroom sauce and a large portion of calamari and done shrimp and mussels. It was very good, but I wish there were more shrimp and mussels and fewer calamari. The service was a bit slow. Took a long time to get my check. read more

Came here based on yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. It's easy to get to right on Washington and 15th. I had the lomo saltado (prob the best thing I ate all week in Miami). The meat was marinated perfectly and goes so well with the rice. My wife had the Pescado Con Mariscos (seafood combination of fish, mussels, calamari, octopus, and shrimp in a special mushroom seafood sauce). The mushroom seafood sauce was a tad bland but the dish was huge and had a ton of seafood. We also had the mixed ceviche which was huge and absolutely delicious. Huge portions, tasty food and pretty well priced (total for 3 dishes with tax and automatic 18% tip came out around $55). One big plus, the place doesn't look that great from the outside, but the inside is actually pretty nice. read more

Best meal I had in South Beach! To be fair, most of the meals I had in Miami were incredibly disappointing (don't go to Miami from NY and expect to be impressed). Service was ok. My meal took maybe 15 minutes longer to arrive than my husband's. My husband ordered the tropical dish- which had a thinly fried fish with shrimp on top and it was absolutely delicious. It was just the right temperature and the perfect consistency. The shrimp on top was fresh and savory. Perfect dish. I ordered a type of spicy seafood stew. It was meh. It was ok when I added the hot peppers they gave on the side. The peppers were so spicy! Loved it. Overall, great place to eat. A bit on the expensive side in my opinion, for what it is, but I would definitely go back because it was the only place that lived up to its hype. read more

Great seafood place that is slightly off the beaten path. Not only are the dishes delicious (do not leave without trying the ceviche), but the prices are not "Miami-style." Had the shrimp in garlic sauce and it would absolutely order again. read more

Excellent parihuela ... pair it with a spicy or mild ceviche of your choice and it is a totally higher version of soup and salad. I come here exclusively for soups and ceviches. The wine list is not the best and the steak and chicken... well its not a steak house. The fresh fish items that are cooked to order are great, the fried seafood is good but I am not a fan of fried so I am not the best judge. When it comes to meat and chicken I have developed the opinion that Peruvian restaurants are best for seafood. The service I have received @ this location has always been excellent and I have been coming here for over 15 years sporadically. I will continue frequenting this restaurant as it is one of the best and most authentic on South Beach. read more

I was here for the first time about 2 weeks ago. The food is AMAZING. I ordered the ceviche mixto, which was very good however the portion was too small for the price it was about $17 (it was suppose to be the big ordered but it looked like it was the small order) We also ordered the chaulafan de mariscos which was so but so GOOD. The portion was good we shared it between 2 people. I can't remember the price, but it wasn't too pricey. We also order sangria, which was not bad at all, I would order it again however, I've had better sangrias. read more

In a place designed for tourist, with too many restaurants offering bad food for high prices, this is a hidden gem in Miami beach! The restaurant is located in a corner in Washington st, easy to find, they have many tables, staff is nice, smiling and they attend you fast, as far as I saw it´s always full so probably you will need to wait for a while to sit down but believe me, is worth it! It´s my first time to eat Peruvian food in the US so I didn´t know what to expect... the menus show several photos of each dishes (which is very helpful) but it´s difficult to imagine the taste... so we chose grilled seafood (Parrillada de mariscos) and chicken with a yellow sauce (Aji de gallina), and some fried yuca as a side. The grilled seafood platter: it was HUGE... it´s definitely not for 2 people, but maybe for 4... it´s really big, it has a lot of calamari, shrimps, octopus, breaded flounder... the taste is delicious and very fresh, the fish is not oily, a great choice for seafood lovers. The chicken: it was amazing. Probably one of the best chickens I have ate in here, the yellow sauce tastes like saffron, it´s creamy but not heavy, the chicken is soft as only the chicken cooked slowly for long time can be. It comes with a side fried rice whit a mild garlic taste. We finished the experience with a dessert, "tres leches", really sweet but very nice, reminded me of some of the homemade sweets I eat in my house in Spain. Overall, the food has a very "homemade" taste, big portions, good quality, warm staff without being heavy, and very fair prices considering the area!!... definitely we will come back! read more

Chalan on the Beach - The best thing here!!!! Kinda spendy. 17 bucks at dinner time. - Latin American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Awesome restaurant! The food was fresh, plentiful, inexpensive and delicious. The restaurant appeared to be crowded with both tourists and locals. I recommend the ceviche. read more

We were told this was a delicious place to eat, it wasn't-we've eaten great Peruvian in NYC many times! South Beach doesn't have amazing food in general but we were hopeful Chalan would be a cultural gem-it wasn't. The waitress was over it and not trying to suggest anything on the menu. The cultural Peruvian drink we were told to try was bottled like a Minute Maid drink. Not the freshest tasting seafood so we were shocked and disappointed. read more

Delicious authentic Peruvian cuisine. Lomo Saltado and the mixed Tri Color Ceviche were delicious. The service was excellent as well!

Food was fresh and delicious, nobody rushed us and explained the menu. They were so not in a rush that we waited for 15 minutes to be able to pay our bill. Overall a good choice. read more

The food here is delicious. A friend and I split the chupe de camarones and the calamari, and it was more than enough. The soup was so rich. I look forward to retiring to try so many other things on the menu. read more

Chalan on the Beach was recommended for paella and indeed it was great. The Peruvian paella had the shrimp mussels and octopus in large amounts in a very flavorful rice and vegetable mixture. This outstanding dish was not titled as paella in the menu. Think it was titled 'shrimp and rice' but in the menu description in small print you'll see 'Peruvian paella.' We also had a chicken potato Peruvian dish that had a sauce that was very tasty. There was complimentary bread with a hot pepper salsa that was nicely spicy but not too spicy. So this restaurant had great food but what also made it special was the personalized attention from all the servers. We received outstanding service with a wonderful 'thank you very much for coming here ' at end of meal that I also heard at other tables. We and the other diners were treated like family. Side note: the restaurant name says on the beach but the restaurant is about a block from beach and no beach view. That made no difference to us it was too dark to see beach anyway. The food and service were the real stars here. read more

Pretty decent food! We got the seafood rice and seafood noodle. Seafood rice is more of a stir fried than paella style. The noodle thou is a must try! read more

Dear Chalan on the Beach, Fish was fresh, but red wine at 86F is not good. Forgot the bread. Very noisy too. Hung over me when paying to ensure tip. For Pete sake! Never again. We can find fresh fish elsewhere. read more

Excellent food and service. Had the seafood with tacu tacu - loved it. Great red sangria. read more

My family of 8 planned to retry this restaurant for the second time this year. We walked in as it's an already small space and intimate restaurant so seating was difficult for our big group. We waiting about 6 minutes until we were seated at the far back. After getting seated we waiting for 15 minutes. No one greeted us or offered us drinks. The waitress walked right by us without at the very least greeting. Next we asked for assistance from the host in which he updated us that she would be with us any moment. I just felt like if the waitress could not handle large groups that she should have asked for assistance or had a manager apologize for the delay. I feel very disappointed since the food is also one of the best spots down there! read more

Reasonably priced for excellent food! We got Aji de Gallina (chicken with a creamy sauce) and Pescado con Mariscos (seafood with a creamy sauce); both were super tasty! service was fast and attentive. read more

When I am looking for a sure shot on the beach this is where I end up. After walking by all of the Lincoln Road overpriced options (Lincoln Road on a budget -- with a palette - someone please create this list) I know I will return to my first Peruvian love. Chalan I met you first and now your cousins are all over my neighborhood - Edgewater represent! Still your picture menus and promise of cold chicha morada (that purple HIGH fructose "corn" syrup drink) will always bring me back. This time I went for the seafood pasta dish. It was on point and on budget. Working my way through these Peruvian menus is a real challenge. Maybe I should set a goal. 13.1 choices in under 12 months... I'm already at dish 5! read more

Great peruvian food at good prices. This place is one block south of Lincoln Rd, on Washington. And it has been there for a loooong time. Way before South beach was the trendy spot it became. The ceviche was great. It's excellent for one of those hot days after walking Lincoln Road in South beach. Refreshing. The lomo saltado is unbelievable, as well. No wonder it has been around for that long read more

Awesome food. Ceviche is amazing. If you like spicy foods ask for them to make it hot!!

Service was a bit slow, however food more than made up for the long wait. All dishes were very good - fish was fresh, flavorful and made exactly to order. Will recommend to my friends for sure! read more

This place is awesome! Every time I come to Miami I will be returning. Highly recommend! read more

Chalan on the Beach - What was left of our bread. The green paste (idk what its called) was great! - Latin American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

First time at a Peruvian restaurant and loved their food! Complementary warm bread with butter and aji sauce were a great start. I ordered their chicken dish which was made in a yellow sauce and was served with rice. It was pretty tasty. Hubby ordered their calamari seafood dish which was good too! Be cautious about the portions. Both of us hardly finished a third of our respective dishes so order accordingly. The restaurant also serves fresh lemonade which was very refreshing! And finally their macchiato was a perfect ending to a yummy lunch! This was our first restaurant in Miami where the food was reasonably priced and the service was amazing! read more

Chalan on the Beach - Macchiato - Latin American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Being a girl from Kentucky, I have had very limited experiences with Peruvian foods. As we walked in, I had no idea what I was going to eat. Thank goodness there were photos and previous reviews. I stuck on the safe side and ordered Peruvian fried rice with chicken. We also ordered lomo steak (I think that's what it's called). It had French fries, rice, onion tomatoes and beef : the sauce was almost like a meat sauce nothing extremely special. But it was good. The portions were freaking hugeeeee! Be sure to go hungry or plan on sharing. Food was good. Both dishes were well done. read more

Let's see... Customer service = poor Waited to be asked what we were going to drink after 20 minutes of being seated, then another 15 to take our order. Then we had to ask again if they would bring our drinks. And not even an apology. Food= average My dad order lomo saltado which was "nothing to rave about it" And I had ceviche de mariscos and it had a good flavor All in all a below average restaurants read more

I was disappointed with the food. Upon reading the many reviews, I was looking forward to eating some legit peruvian food during my miami vacation. Our server was very friendly and we were able to flag down her attention when we needed something. The food however was underwhelming and pricey. My arroz chaufa de mariscos was very salty and I was only able to down it by picking out the seafood and drowning it in the spicy green sauce. I was able to eat some of the fried rice by eating some of my friend's bright and limey ceviche. The white sangria was slightly sweet and fruity so it made the meal. However, the $30 bill for these two items would make me think twice before returning again. read more

Great food with reasonable prices. Every single time I come to Miami, my family comes here. Authentic Peruvian with moderate portions (they used to have crazy portions and frankly I'm happy they toned it down). My brother typically likes to get the lomo saltado and my personal favorite is the ceviche. Tostones are yummy too. OH and the smoothies are made to order and SUPER fresh so I def recommend getting that - just be careful because they are very filling! Decor is casual and quaint. Very clean place. Service is attentive and great - they kind of feel like family. One time, we left our delicious leftovers at the table and they held it/stored it for us instead of just throwing it out. Always crowded which is a good sign :) Recommend this to anyone who is visiting Miami, it's seriously SOOOO GOOD. read more

This restaurant was amazing!! My friends and I were on Espanola Way and were looking for a place that was a little more low-key (in atmosphere and price) and authentic than some of the other restaurants on that street. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share between the three of us and it was way more than enough - Ceviche Mixto, Lomo Saltado, and Cilantro rice with seafood (can't remember the exact name). Everything was insanely fresh, delicious, and cheap! Our waitress was also delightful and was honest with us on whether or not we ordered enough food (unlike some other waiters/waitresses that just want to rack up the bill). Highly recommend! read more

Amazing! Delicious! Great prices! I had been looking for a good Peruvian restaurant on the beach for months. I didn't want just any restaurant. I wanted one that takes pride in their food and this place def does! Service is quick. But be ware. Weekends they get packed. I recommend their limo saltado, arroz chaufa, and ask for a side of salsa huancaina. You'll thank me later. I will def be back!!!!!!!! read more

Amazing Ceviche! I ordered the Ceviche Mixto, loved everything about this dish. The Chicha Morada was bottled (imported) but very tasty. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

At my suggestion I took 3 friends from out of town for dinner and we were not disappointed. Great location that we walked 2 blocks to from their hotel.

On top of all of this the check was reasonable. We enjoyed it and recommend it. read more
