El Fuego Peruvian Kitchen
Permanently Closed
Chef Nick Stefanelli’s Le Clou and Other D.C. Restaurant Closures to Know - Eater DC
"Peruvian restaurant El Fuego called it quits after six years in Lyon Park, reports ArlNow. Founder Manny Alfaro started El Fuego as a food truck in 2011 and went the brick-and-mortar route in 2018, showcasing Peruvian cuisine and its Chinese and Japanese influences under one roof. Alfaro won an episode of Food Network’s cooking competition show Guy’s Grocery Games in 2020 and went on to sell the business the following year. The changeover got a glowing review from Washington Post food writer Tim Carman." - Tierney Plumb
