Scraped off sour cream - added green sauce
Terri D.

Ordered the chicken bowl - not the best decision. Sour cream was the only sauce - swimming in it along with cheese. I like my bowls bit more healthy, some salsa would have added nice tang, freshness. So Plan B, scrape off sour cream and dump in green sauce - ah much better. Oh well my fault, should have read description more closely or just stuck what they do well - whole pit chicken.

I've lived nearby for years and have been meaning to check out Campesino Chicken. With Uptown Cafe closed on Sundays, I finally popped in. I got the quarter chicken (white meat) with fried rice and pinto beans. While the chicken could have had crispier skin and been a little juicier, it was still a very tasty and satisfying meal. When I return, I'll try the cilantro rice and get a side of ceviche. Service was quick and friendly. Tables were clean. All in all, it's on par with the majority of Peruvian chicken joints I've been to, but I don't mean that as a dig. I'm planning on retiring sooner than later!

1/4 Pollo Dark Chicken
Tiffany T.

I believe a long time ago, the restaurant used to be a chipotle and you can still tell by the layout of their food offerings and the middle island for their drinks and utensils. It has some seating inside but definitely more like a fast food/ take out restaurant. The worker was really nice and when we wanted to know what drinks they had cycling in the back they even offered us some free samples since we weren't familiar with what it might taste like! 1/4 dark pollo chicken - really nicely seasoned skin on the chicken and juicy dark meat. the portion is a bit small. 3.5/5 Fried plantain - love the seared bits which was pretty distinctive to the rest of the plaintain. cooked so perfectly and very sweet 3.5/5 Roasted potatoes - nicely seasoned but bettter when dipped with a little salt/ ketchup. Cooked super nicely with every single potato being soft and fluffy all the way through. 3.25/5 arroz chaufa - they make this fresh when you order it! you do have to wait a few minutes for them to fry the rice and combine the chicken and steak but means you get a nice very hot fried rice. most of the steak and chicken was good and flavorful but I did have a few random pieces of steak that were a bit too chewy. The rice was fried very nicely where you can taste each grain and the dish is pretty flavorful. they do give you a lot though and by the mid/end it got a bit boring. 3.5/5

This restaurant is a pretty solid Peruvian Chicken place! I have tried other places where the chicken can be dry, but this chicken was tender, moist, and flavorful. I have had better yucca in other places before but this place does it decent. I just wish the inside of the yucca was more fluffy. I like how this place is nearby and is affordable so I will probably come back next to get my chicken fix.

I don't think I've ever had Peruvian chicken that disappointed and Campesino is no exception. The space is nice with some seating, but it seems most people order for takeout. The process of ordering and receiving my food was pretty quick, I was in there for maybe 10 minutes. I ordered a whole chicken with two large sides (yucca and cilantro rice) to go. This totaled to around $28 after tax. The chicken was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked all around, and the chicken breast wasn't dry at all. The yucca was fresh, hot, and crispy. The cilantro rice was cooked well and lightly flavored. You get all three sauces with your order, all of which were delicious (the green one is the only spicy one).

Rostisserie chicken Bowl

We stopped in for a late lunch, after running errands. We both got the lunch sized chicken bowl. It was great! $14. The lettuce was fresh. Beans and rice were savory. A decent amount of chicken for protein. We will go back again and try some other items from their menu. This place has ample seating. Nice informal ambiance. Cheerful and open. Service was okay, a tad slow because we were the only people there.

Love this place! As a peruvian, this place has one of the best chicken in the dmv! Its tender, juicy, and they make all their papas y yuccas a la carte! They also offer other recommended plates, sides, and drinks! Def check them out!

Doug K.

Not bad but had mixed review. I got the chicken...definitely the standout item here...but also got the lomo saltido which was tough and also dry. Wouldn't recommend it. Black beans are excellent as are the yucca fries. Service is generally quick and they have Inca Cola so a big plus for me.

1 Whole Chicken Special with 4 sides
Ronni E.

Very impressed with the quality of the Peruvian chicken and all of the sides. We got a whole chicken, 4 large sides, and a 2-liter Inca cola for $38 out the door. Green sauce is the spiciest I have ever had. Chaufa fried rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. Everything taste fresh. The fried yuca is made fresh. Western Fairfax, you're welcome!

Inside

Yum! We were in the area and spotted Campesino Chicken. Took out our trusty Yelp app and it's Yelp Fam approved so we definitely had to check it out. Plenty of indoor seating is available. The restaurant is clean and organized. Employees are friendly and incredibly helpful. Our takeout order was ready in no time. Everything was neatly wrapped. Their chicken is delicious, well seasoned. Their homemade sauces are excellent and go well with almost everything. Side dishes are flavorful. Some faves were their Chaufa Rice, Fries, and Platanitos. They have some awesome specials, that include a whole chicken, 4 large sides, and a 2 Liter drink. Portions are generous and the price is right. We will be back!

1/2 Pollo White Chicken combo with yuca fries and Platanitos

Great flavor. One chicken was quite dry, the other great. Yuca fries seemed stale and very dried out. Horchata was good.

Workers on their phone or talking on air pods and always messing up order. Not very busy yet order is still wrong. It's not that difficult.

Their Peruvian chicken is our go to food. The Philly cheesesteak is also good. We usually get to-go.

Beautiful restaurant with good service…read more Our favorites were: ceviche classic, beef empanadas, fried sushi. Will return to try more dishes.

BLUF: Ok, after being open 3+ years, one would think that an upscale restaurant would get their act…read morein gear & deliver wonderful service every time, right? Especially at their prices & the hoity toity atmosphere, you'd think they'd also be well-run and reasonably accommodating, eh? Nope. Worth the drive? Not any more. Worth the wait? Definitely not anymore! For as many times as we've frequented Pisco in Reston with a small group, one would think they'd get their seating straightened out. Every time we've attempted to eat here on a reservation, they've had issues. Never set up and ready to seat us. Never prepared upon opening... and it's never busy when they first open which is why we always go early. But, they are NEVER ready to seat us. What's the use of making a reservation a week in advance if you're not going to be ready to seat the party nor accommodate the request? How would you like to find out at the last minute that they're going to split up your party at two different tables on two different sides of the restaurant because they weren't prepared when you gave them a week's notice via reservation? The food isn't that good to have to keep going through the challenge of being seated every time we make a reservation for a group. They're really pricey, too. So, certainly not worth this chronic headache. There are PLENTY of other places in the Town Center or in Herndon/Reston in general where you can get a tasty meal, not drop a day's pay, and have your entire party served well together. The taco joint across the street is definitely a more pleasant experience, for example, and I would certainly recommend bartaco...give them a try instead for a fun environment and some good eats.

I don't even have a huge appetite, and the amount of food I received was still surprisingly small. The service was also disappointing from the moment I arrived. The restaurant was completely empty, yet no one greeted me or acknowledged me when I walked in. I eventually had to walk over to the bar area myself to ask about my pickup order. The woman working there looked confused that I was even asking and mumbled a response I could barely understand. I figured maybe she was busy, so I waited, but the entire experience became increasingly uncomfortable. I stood there awkwardly for about 10 minutes while the employees talked amongst themselves and kept looking over at me, yet no one updated me on my order or even spoke to me. The worst part was the food itself. The potatoes in the Papa a la Huancaína were cold and partially raw. I literally had to finish cooking them in the microwave at work. The empanada was decent, and the alfajor would have gotten better marks if it weren't for the small hair I found on it, but overall the experience was not worth the price. Unfortunately, I wouldn't ever come back. Revash has better portions, better prices, and overall much better food.
