Update from the owners of El Chalan:
“El Chalan Restaurant is closed permanently. The landlord may be remodeling and reopening under a different name or company.
Sincerely,
Pedro Espinoza and Violeta Davey
El Chalan Restaurant”
Last month we learned that After 41 Years El Chalan Peruvian Restaurant would be closing downtown/Foggy Bottom. I was surprised to see these signs on their door:

1924 I Street, NW
Their website is no longer active and their Facebook still has their farewell message “thanks for all the memories”.
Stay tuned.
