El Chalion - Miami Beach

This is a straightforward Peruvian restaurant with no frills. The atmosphere is modestly charming but the food is the real standout here. We indulged in the chicken aji (tasty with a subtle kick of spice) and a mixed ceviche (the fish was superb, while the seafood was average). The portions were very generous (we ended up taking some home), so there's no need to worry about ordering extra dishes. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. The American beer was affordable at $3.50, and with service included (18% added), the bill came to $40 for two people. Not bad at all for a beachside meal in Miami. They also have another location at 7971 SW 40th Street in Miami.

Wow. Got ceviche delivered 30 minutes ago and it is so salty I cannot eat it. Very , very dissapointed.

Good eating, Great Peruvian food on South Beach. The dish I had is called Pescado Tropical. Rice with veggies, shrimp and cream sauce on top of fried Bass fish, skinless baked potato, With side of tomatoes, orange slice, pineapple, and a cherry on top of lettuce. Because of the covid restrictions the service was slow but well worth the wait for hot fresh food.

It was OK. The chicken was a lemon chicken which I probably wouldn’t ordered. I do like lemon chicken, but it was OK. It was kind of dry and we didn’t really particular like it but you know it’s just it just wasn’t our thing that day not saying it was terrible.

The ceviche is delicious, the place is very nice and the waitresses are all very attentive.
