El Chalan Restaurant

Food is not good. We ordered chicken parm, and they made it with cream sauce not red sauce. The cream sauce was watery with no flavor. The French fries had a tough taste to them.

Racist to their own community. If you’re Latino you’ll be treated with an inferior service

Decent food

Delicious authentic Peruvian food!!

The food is incredible. However, I got my pocket picked near here. And then returned to me at a different store. Thanks for returning it I guess?

It was wonderful will be back!!!

Tiny place (like a small diner) with huge flavor. Definitely coming back, even though it’s a trek for me. I ate things I normally don’t like and was very surprised and delighted.

The food is amazing! The gnocchi with pesto is fantastic! They hand make it every day! My friends have never had a plate they didn’t love.

Delicious. Had the ceviche and carapulcra. They were out of chicha but their maracuya was very good. Will definitely come back.

Nice little local place for either Italian or Peruvian food located on San Pablo Dam Road in El Sobrante. Food was pretty good, and nice portions. Atmosphere was a bit bland, no fancy decor or anything. This local restaurant surprisingly survived the pandemic and did not close like so many other "mom and pop" type restaurants. They must be doing something right!

Parking: Small parking lot, holds about 10 cars or so.

Best kept secret of El Sobrante: El Chalan, Peruvian and Italian restaurant, offers a family atmosphere with great food at a good price. Warm bread and butter is served from the beginning. Their roast 1/2 chicken and whole fried trout, with home style french fries are very popular. Their sea food dishes, especially the seafood soups are delicious. The Italian food is also excellent. Butter nut squash raviolis, gnocchi, and spaghetti are cooked perfectly. Kids love this place.
