Chifa La Familia Feliz

La Fortuna


If you’re looking for a change of taste – a real change from casados and pizza – check this out. Chifa is Peruvian Chinese fried rice, and chef Martin Gonzalez also whips up causas (yellow-potato dishes), ceviches, and anticuchos (skewers) with equal enthusiasm and skill. He goes out of his way to welcome and satisfy all comers.
