Peruvian Restaurants in the Philly Area?

I have very good Peruvian friends (I have just turned on them to Chowhound.) coming down to the north Philly area for New Years. I just searched the site and found little about Peruvian restaurants In Philly. Any recommendations? Thanks and Happy New Year!

    Your about 2 months too early. Jose Garces is opening Chifa in "February" in Center City. Now Jose's Feb. could actually turn out to be June, but who's counting?

      Sol De Peru...in Upper Darby. I have not been a couple years. It is good/basic..the owner very friendly. Cant be sure it is still there...perhaps someone else may comment...

        sol de Peru looks good. Thanks. I should have thought of HollyEats. It was the first food site I ever stumbled upon. My family has been eating Yacco's hot dogs for over 75 years. A Muhlenberg tradition!

          I think Don Memo may be where Sol de Peru used to be.

        El Balconcito is the only one I know of and it probably isn't as authentic as you're looking for...

        If you can wait about a month, Jose Garces will be opening Chifa, his Peruvian/Chinese hybrid.
