Tart and citrusy are the flavors that are needed to making a meal seem light and satisfying. Ceviches and bolivian dishes were delicious. This was written up in the washingtonian and looks like it has a very interesting following. I mean I work right up the street and its impossible to sneeze in a direction here where there is not an ethnic joint right in your face. Now I have to say this place is small and it is not very english friendly but if you know what you are looking for then this is the place. The ceviches and the fried seafoods are extremely good. the chicharron sandwich is a little fatty but still manages to keep it fresh with pickled onions and the sweet potato. If you get a sandwich combo it comes with a juice which is perfect not too sweet and really refreshing. Also the flan is totally homemade you can tell and it is delicious as well. Thumbs up man thumbs up! Cheers and happy eats! read more

Waitresses were outside tonight watching EMTs perform cpr on a pedestrian in the street and they were laughing and giggling and so entertained. The victim died. Don't think I will eat at your restaurant. Low quality people. To Juan below: really?? The emt crew moved an ambulance to block the view of the scene because of their carrying on. And then they loudly complained that they couldn't see anymore. I assume they are at least 18. When you were 18 did you laugh at someone dying in front of you? Obviously they are very immature and not even aware of it. I don't think you were there or you would not be trying to minimize it. read more

Terrible service. They have the chicha Morada tasting funny. No sauce for the salchipapa read more

We got leche de tigre, choclo con queso, causa de pollo, seco de carne a la norteña, and salchipapa. All of the food was good until we got the seco, it was okay it just didn't taste like a Peruvian seco at all. The service was good. They had a live band playing as well. It was cool to listen to the live music while we ate. read more

The food was delicious. We ordered very late around 11:15 pm they're kitchen closes at 12. We got the lomo saltado, leche de tigre, ensalada de casa, jugo de maracuyá. And let me tell you the lomo saltado was sooo good ! The leche de tigre so fresh and tasty.The salad is classic but still so good and fresh. Definitely coming back! read more

Terrible experience. Very terrible. Went in for Father's Day to treat the dad out, and it was disastrous. Worst part is it wasn't even too busy, so they have NO EXCUSE FOR MESSING UP! First of all, seating is was too cramped up. We were literally right behind another family which wasn't the best feeling. Floors are a little slippery; server almost ran into me on my way to the restroom. Disgrace. The food...the food was okay, but definitely not worth the $14 it was. The side of plantains sucked. Not very sweet, too burnt. Lomo Saltado was actually good. The other dishes we ordered were mediocre. Salchipapas and the leche de ceviche was alright..the other meal just sucked where the steak tasted like pulled pork. WTF!! I'm not even at the worst part...after we were done eating, we wanted to pay and tried several times unsuccessfully to get the waitress' attention. She finally came and we told her to split the payment into 2 cards...we waited about 5-7 minutes just to sign the credit slips and for her to process the payment. We thought the payment had been split..until I got home an hour later, checked my online banking, and realized I was charged twice..... Terrible restaurant; food is mediocre at best, and terrible service. No exceptions!! Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, nor go back there again. Avoid at ALL COSTS If you want REAL PERUVIAN FOOD, with TERRIFIC CUSTOMER SERVICE, go to SARDIS! read more

Asi Es Mi Tierra - Charged twice by the waitress when we told her to split payment into 2 cards...smh AVOIDDDDD - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

All be aware of this place they show you a menu with a price and then charge you more. I noticed this right away and when claim about it the owner have the nerve to tell me she is being doing this for 4 years !!! That she don't have money to change . Really , you can't even tell your customer before they order!! You are stealing from your customer and you dont care . I can't believe this lady attitude!! Thief!! That what we need to call her, because that what she doing stealing people money. !! I don't care if is $1 or $ the fact that you think is okay for you to be doing that !! You are an embarrassment!! The rest of my friends have the same experience!!! Sad to encounter with people like this without any integrity, thinking is okay to do this !! Don't go to this place !! read more

They don't even have their prices in the menu, I think it's a strategy for you to order without seeing what you paying for so at the end you get the surprise, a high check! Fuck nah, never again. The place was really wack and the vibe was not it, it was empty and I got an ice cream that was expensive plus it was not good at all. read more

I'm a regular here so I gave it 4 stars for the food and price . The food is good . I've never been made sick from eating it and my favorite dish is the Lomosaltado . The papaya drink is good too. Not 5 stars I've been to another one in Virginia that is more pricey but a little slightly better quality meat. Parking can be difficult during the day on weekends so I recommend coming later . read more

I went for the friday buffet And was happy to find six dishes salad and dessert. The chicken was In a Rich broth, Falling off the bone chicken had Gentle cilantro Flavor . Complemented by two Stews, Pork with lima beans, and Chicken with potatoes. Bread and white rice helped soak up the flavors. Lively Cuban music made for festive afternoon. read more

This place became my favorite guilty pleasure! When I need to eat something from Perú..I go there! The food is so good! The breakfasts..Chicharrones, the winter soups( Caldo de Gallina) their( Lomo Saltado) to die for!! the place is small and cozy! Costumer service is really good..those girls are so sweet , nice and lovely! One time I forgot my purse and sadly I didn't have my driver's license in there ..they waited and saved my purse for days, they were so worry and reached me. Such nice people! I'll give them 5 stars. I go with my family, some times with my husband for a scape and with my girlfriend for some brunches. love it. read more

I had aji de gallina carry out. The chicken was hard and dried. The sauce was bland and not a hint of spice. They only gave me a quarter of a boiled egg. The rice was oily and bland. Forcing my self to eat so my $12 don't go to waste :( read more

Being brutally honest, the food was really bad. It tasted like it was reheated and lacked all distinct flavor. The ceviche was soggy and not fresh. I understand COVID is making things difficult, but the food was very underwhelming. read more

Worst place ever, food not good I think the men who cooks is not Peruvian, I hate these place already. The food is not even similar like Peruvian what disapointed. Bad customer service and dirty place I gave these place the last chance and still awful. The Aji de gallina didn't have milk the taste is no even similar what a waste of money. read more

Not exactly what you expect some of the food is actually good but some isnt (se deja comer )

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. That's what they deserve. Ordered from the menu, got something totally different. Explained to waitress, who tried to tell me that's what menu said. Showed her the menu and then she saw what we ordered and didn't apologize. The beans were cold (a health inspector needs to come and inspect the place!!) Still can't believe the type of service and food that was provided. Not tasty and a hazard Horrible service, food was not worth the place. DON'T COME HERE! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Or put your health at risk. read more

I've only tried their pollo saltado, but it's very good. They have a lot of items in their menu so it's not like a typical peruvian chicken place where that's all they serve. I'm not peruvian myself but the other items look authentic. read more

Is saturday night, they have karaoke and dj with good latin music. Tried cevixhe amd ia good enought. I will come back for the ceviche. , read more

I love it the leche de Tigre is the best , the only thing is than the orders take a while , but I wait for my leche de Tigre

everything was ok the are really to little and also the driver has to be more careful because my was all messed up..

Our family went in on a Sunday evening. It was our first time there. Music was blaring to the point that you were screaming your order to the waitress. Music was so loud that my daughter (as well as other customers children) were miserable. We decided to take our food home, quality was not great. Had to call back the next day, thinking I left something there and the lady who answered had a massive attitude. Needless to say, will never come back there again. read more

This is the worst Peruvian restaurant I have ever been. Not even the most simple plate like Lomo Saltado, they can make it right. Food taste like it was stored on the freezer for months and they just put it in the microwave. If you know how to make Peruvian food may as well cook it yourself at home. The only good thing is their night entertainment. read more

The front door to this place was like a portal to Lima. I studied abroad there in college and this place really brought back memories- the atmosphere and way in which things are served were just as they would be in Lima. It's definitely fancier than most of the other Peruvian places in the Wheaton area and the quality of the food is better as well. I got anticuchos (beef heart skewers) as an appetizer and lomo saltado as the dinner. Both were very good, I was especially impressed with the lomo, I mean, it's hard a dish to mess up but it somehow tasted extra good... the seasoning I suppose. Only a few small complaints. They have some non-Peruvian dishes on the menu as well, particularily Central American. The waitress was in fact Salvadoran. While there is certainly no crime in any way, it was a little frustrating as she didn't seem super knowledgeable with Peruvian cuisine when I asked her about certain dishes. Finally my roommate ended up ordering some sort of chicken dish (don't remember what it was called), the waitress told him that it would be a little different that day than it was on the menu- I want to say that it would be fried rather than grilled. Anyways he said ok, it came, it was decent by all standards for fried chicken though not quite as good as what I ordered. The complaint comes now, we went to pay and the price of the chicken dish had magically gone up by $2. When we asked why she said, " Oh... that's because like I told you we don't have that dish today so we have this other one instead and it's $2 more..." You could argue that this was a communication error except both my roommate and I are fluent Spanish speakers and we spoke to her the entire time in Spanish and she would have had no problem telling my roommate that what he ordered would be more expensive than what he had originally asked for. As my experience was wonderful I'm not going to be too hard on them for this but it did hold me back from giving them the whole 5 stars. Regardless, I look forward to going back soon though I'll stick with the Peruvian fair over the random Central American fried chicken. read more

The food is good. At least the lomo. Only on a few occasions it was terrible and so so. Overall the service sucks. If you call ahead expect to wait anyway cause they don't start cooking it til you get there. The waitresses seem have no experience or little care to give good service. The portions are good and you seem to get more if you eat in. Almost tempted to give it 2 stars but like I said the lomo is good. read more

They have bad food . Lie about people husbands being there when they are with the staff

Came here on Sunday (Father's Day). Party of 2 Every business owner should know that on special events/holidays their business will most likely get packed and more than one wait staff will be needed. We came in at 10 am ( nicks dinner was packed and we ran into this place). We sat ourselves as we did not know whether someone will seat us. Out of the 12 tables there, 8 of them were taken up.(including us) and there was only one waitress. The owner seemed to be busy setting up speakers (the soccer game was going to be on later Peru vs Columbia) and the lady owner was behind the counter. It took the server 20 minutes just to bring us menus. Not bothered at all because I saw she was the only one there just timing for review purposes. What really bothered me was that a gentlemen came in whom I believe was either a friend or family he sat down and within seconds the lady owner approached his table with a menu. And his drink and beverage was out before our food and beverage was out. Bad customer service. Our food finally arrived. I ordered the strawberry milkshake and for $6 I got huevos rancheros with the side of beans and plantains and sour cream. Honestly idk if it's the Latina in me but I expected a lot more plantains then what seemed like less than half of the plantain chopped into 3 small pieces. It really looked like it was cut up to feed a toddler. The beans, Sour cream, and sauce for the eggs came in a tiny tiny bowl on the side. The milkshake was delicious hands down I enjoyed it. My boyfriend had ordered the papaya milkshake and that one as well was very good. Highly recommend the milkshakes. As for his food he ordered the eggs mixed with sausages which I didn't try myself but he said it was good. Same sides as mine at the same portion with tortillas (that arrived about 3 minutes later) Overall I think this place is a decent place. Food was tasty just don't expect a huge portion because this place seems like it's more on the lighter side of serving. read more

The place was decent. Good was not what we expected. We order ceviche mixto, Jalea mixta, lomo saltado, tallarin verde, and picante de mariscos. The only dish that were good was the ceviche and lomo saltado. Everything else was okay. read more

We went to this restaurant because we wanted to try someplace new in Wheaton. My son got FOOD POISONING from the chicken burrito he had. The lomo saltado we had was very badly made and overpriced. The meat was tough and of poor quality; the dish had almost no flavor; the french fries were tasteless and looked like they came from a freezer bag; and there actually was not much food on the plate. The only thing I liked about the entire meal was the tiny dish of green salsa. There are a number of great Peruvian restaurants in the DC metro area, particularly one in Annandale, but this is not one of them! read more

The food was way better than I expected. Jalea de Pescado was good although tilapia fish was flavorless; the Lomo Saltado was really tasty though. I would definitely come back to try new dishes. read more

Service is great food is amazing parking is a hassle but the service is great they treat you good!

Awesome delicious Peruvian food and more than just the standard Peruvian chicken. In fact... I'm not even sure if they had Peruvian chicken. I went here with a Peruvian friend on a tip from a mutual friend and we were both very impressed, My Peruvian friend said that it was one of the best places she had been stateside. I will definitely be going back! read more

I give this place a thumbs down. Being a Peruvian and having a professional Peruvian chef as a mom, we would know about what Peruvian food really tastes like. The place is definitely very home like. Has pretty good Peruvian music, but the food just doesn't seems like something they are passionate of making. We order ceviche, and the lady told us the lime juice the fish is cooked in is already pre made. We were confused because when you make ceviche, it's supposed to be fresh and everything done at the moment. The lime juice didn't cook the fish as it was supposed to. It was just a tasteless piece of cut fish. The calamary in the ceviche was soggy and the shrimp was hard. Then we ordered a Lomo saltado. And acidity of the lomo saltado was just over the top. Lomo saltado is supposed to only contain about a tbsp of vinegar, depending on how much you're making. Last but not least, the chicha morada was from a package and so was the maracuya (the drinks). Chicha morada is supposed to be done with Maiz morado and at the end some squeezed lemon. It's not difficult!! This place just makes me feel like they are just trying to make money by being cheap. Do it the right way or don't do it at all. read more

food is ok for me, but my wife said that her soup was very bad. there are other choices with the same prices and better than this restaurant. read more

Tasty food. Friendly staff. Authentic. La comida estuvo deliciosa!

they have a new plate on the menu called Tacu Tacu con Lomo Saltado and I have to say hands down the best I've ever tried. They also have a plate called Plato Asi Es Mi Tierra which is all seafood for the seafood lovers, its an awesome plate honestly my boyfriend loved it although its a lot for one person but he pulled through its good enough for two people but it all depends on the person. It brings Seafood rice ceviche leche de tigre fried calamari fish shirmp. we will definitely be coming back for more! We went on a Friday night they had a Dj playing all the music and I think it must have been karaoke night. we had a good time after all! read more

My wife and I ate here in 2011, and this restaurant was a real gem at the time, hopefully we can return soon. The chef is a well trained Peruvian chef, and we went there with the family. This restaurant serves more refined latino food. My son was 5 or 6 at the time and ordered breaded chicken, and we were somewhat concerned when it took 10 or 15 minutes to prepare it. However, upon getting his food, we realized that the chef had made this fresh, like every other dish he put up. It was delicious and well seasoned (and covered with sliced onion with a sauce), and was remarkably good (not a typical kids menu item). They are perhaps more upscale than their neighboring restaurants, but I'd recommend it if you want a well prepared latin meal. This tends a bit more to upscale cuisine than quick family fare that many establishments have, so it tended to cost a bit more but was good value. read more
