Fodor's Expert Review China Chilcano
$$
Downtown
Dinner
The José Andrés formula is pleasantly familiar to D.C. diners who have visited his ever-growing empire of small-plate restaurants since Jaleo first opened in 1993. This hybrid of Peruvian and Chinese-Japanese styles, inspired by a 19th-century wave of migration to South America, is a popular spot amongst locals. Find chili-speckled dim sum alongside ceviches, donburi bowls, and Peruvian-style fried rice. Cocktail stars are the macerados, Peruvian pisco liquors infused with fruit flavors.
