It was good. I think the fact that this is "Peruvian cuisine" might be lost on most of the people who eat here. If you look down in your food and see french fries chopped up in your food, you know it's Peruvian cuisine! Spending a month in Peru, having Peruvian friends, and living in NYC, I've eaten an awful lot of Peruvian food. I never really understood the "Peruvian chicken" phenomenon. It rotisserie chicken. I don't understand what makes it Peruvian. Moreover, Peruvian chicken seems to be more popular in Peruvian restaurants in NYC than Peruvian restaurants in Peru. I found the chicken here to be good. The white meat was slightly dry, the dark meat was juicy; cooked well. The chicken themselves were pretty big, and I've found that chickens of this size tend to be slightly tough. The fried yucca was heavenly. But the bad thing about yucca is that you have to eat it right away. The second it cools off, it become waxy and flavorless. We parked right in front. Yay! The price is right. Between parking, the price, and the good food, this place is A-OK in my book. Would I come back on my next trip to DC? Nah. Peruvian places are a dime a dozen. But I'm glad we went here once.

Went here on 10-8-202 at 11:50 am and was shocked. Went to go inside and noticed 19 people in an area no bigger than a walk in closet. I was waiting outside patiently as more people walked up. They asked if I was waiting and I told them "there's no way I was going on with that many people in there." I waited for another minute then decided to leave. Then I witnessed those same four people walk right in. Then people wonder why we can't COVID under control. It's a darn shame. ‍ So I went to a better restaurant SHOUT TO The Big Greek Cafe for doing it right!

Found this little gem while searching for some new quick and affordable lunch spots near my office, and I was very satisfied! You can tell that this place has been here long enough to be a neighborhood fixture, which is always a good first impression. I ordered the 1/4 dark meat chicken with plantains and cole slaw, and it was a TON of food. (Forgot to snag pics, but I'm sure another reviewer left some.) Everything came out in a takeaway box within minutes, and my coworkers and I were on our way back to the office. There is limited indoor seating, so you might have to take your food to go if you come during peak hours. In terms of the food itself, the chicken was juicy and tender but could have been spiced a little more. I also tend to like my cole slaw a little drier than how they made it, but that's a personal preference. Long story short: I will DEFINITELY be back again next time I'm craving Peruvian chicken.

This is very upsetting because you can tell that this was done on purpose. So my fried yuca had 3 very nice big pieces on the top and the rest was these nasty pieces. My 3rd time ordering from this place in 2 weeks and the first time I didn't pay close attention to my order.

1/4 white w/ 2 sides: yucca and corn.

A true hidden gem and hole in the wall in Bethesda. The quality of the food here doesn't compare to the other Peruvian chicken spots I've been to in the area. I ordered a 1/4 white meat with a side of yuca and corn. Let me start of by saying ALL THE YUMMY GOODNESS! The chicken skin had a charred crispy taste and the meat was deliciously juicy. The portions were plentiful and tasteful. The yucca was fresh and fried upon request. The corn salad had great flavor. They hand you two dipping sauces with your order and they charge extra for more. Best part about all of this, the food is reasonably priced for the amount of food they serve. The parking is tiny with a few spots so it's best to park in a garage nearby. The restaurant has limited seating and I noticed many carry out orders during my visit. I went on a Saturday for lunch and lucked out with a table. My taste buds don't lie...this place is worth visiting!

Definitely the grilled octopus and the Pink Coconut Breeze cocktail. The octopus -- along with its flavorful supporting cast was one of the best I've had. Perfectly grilled, tender, smoky, and beautifully paired with the sauces and sides. And that Pink Coconut Breeze? Flavorful with just the right kick. Bonus points for the strawberries marinating in the cocktail because yes, I absolutely used my fork to scoop them out of the glass. No shame. The ceviche sampler was fresh, bright, and flavorful. The Nikkei Sticky Ribs were deliciously sticky and savory. The scallop dish gave me chargrilled oyster vibes. And the pork belly bao buns? That crispy-yet-chewy pork belly skin was a whole moment. And beyond the food, the experience itself was wonderful. The service was attentive and seamless, and the decor was bright, lively, and festive. Oh and did I mention they offer Happy Hour on Sundays throughout the entire restaurant? Yeahhhh... that's a win. Thank you, Pisco y Nazca! I'll definitely be back, especially for the grilled octopus dish. But don't just take my word for it. Check them out and experience the deliciousness for yourself.

The crab causa was fresh and well balanced, and the fish tiradito had great flavor with the perfect level of acidity. For the mains, the Mondonguito a la Italiana was excellent--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The Jalea Mixta was crispy, generous, and served with fresh red onions, cancha, and a great tartar sauce. The Surtido juice was also delicious--fresh, refreshing, and perfectly blended. A special mention to Mónica, who took care of us again and provided exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Luckily, there was no wait time when we arrived and our waitress took our order right away. The food did not take long to come out but after I ate the aji de gallina, I had some stomach pains. The flavor of the other plates were good but it can be pricey. The environment is nice and can be loud, if you want classical music with low lighting this place is not for you. Overall, it was ok...food can be overpriced and FYI they do not take American Express for payment.
