"At Jalea, nestled in Old St. Charles, chef Andrew Cisneros offers a tempting mix of comforting Peruvian flavors. Each meal begins with delightful cancha, toasty, salty corn to enjoy while you peruse the menu. Start with the must-try carretillero, which combines ceviche clasico, various fried seafoods, plantain chips, and aji lime mayo. For the main event, go for the carapulcra, featuring tender pork belly, a traditional potato-bacon stew, and fragrant garlic rice. For dessert, the pionono — a Peruvian jelly roll cake filled with dulce de leche — provides a sweet yet light finish. Joel Crespo" - Holly Fann
