    Great flavors!!! Reasonably priced!! Creative menu, good customer service with Good food, what else can you ask for! Also it says they close at 8pm But they stay open later. You can dine in but the area is kind of small.

    My chicken arrived with no skin and some meat missing. Totally unacceptable!

    My chicken arrived with no skin and some meat missing. I had to finish cooking my fries. Totally unacceptable!

    Food has always been great however the fountain drink machine never has ice and this time 4 out of 5 flavors were out. Very disappointed. They do good business and won't fix things .

    1/2 Chicken White Meat

    I've been searching for a Peruvian rotisserie chicken place in the Baltimore area and I've found it! Chicken and veggies were well seasoned. Price point was affordable and customer service was awesome. Will definitely return. The green and mild sauce were a great consistency.

    The chicken isn't cheap per se but it explodes with flavor. You've probably spent more for worse chicken.

    I have been to the Dundalk Chicken Rico location about three times now. I have yet to have a disappointing experience here. I just happened to check in and saw that the reviews are surprisingly low. I wanted to rectify the absurdly low rating. For what it is, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal. The food is virtually exactly the same as the 5 star Yelp-reviewed Highlandtown location with options not even available there (the outstanding green beans, for instance). The prices are lower, the staff is friendlier, and the place is cleaner, and the lines move faster. The chicken is spectacular, side dish portions are generous and even the veggies are flavorful. If you're measuring Chicken Rico against Morton's then it does not compare. But if you pit this location against other fast casual dining establishments, you won't find many better than this Chicken Rico.

    Chicken Burrito

    This restaurant has really great food! I had the chicken burrito and it was delicious! The two sauces that came with the burrito were delicious as well. I will be back to try more items.

    We order half of chicken and it was raw. We order a salad and it was mostly onions. Nothing good about it.

    Solid Peruvian chicken joint. I think it is a little more peppery than most. Hits the spot though!!!

You have to be buzzed in and the dining room is literally the size of my living room. Very intimate. The food was superb. Stellar. Outstanding. Truly, each course was delicious, with layers of flavor and unexpected combinations. The ceviche in an intensely limey coconut broth started off the meal and I thought that if everything else sucked I would still be happy. But the dishes kept getting better. I did not anticipate enjoying veal heart skewers, but they were smoky and very reminiscent of good carne asada. The purple corn tamale was a very interesting mix of heavier corn with light ahi tuna. And even the little bowl of plantain chips they bring out first was excellent. This is a set menu, 5 courses on the weekdays and 6 on the weekends, and is a bring your own alcohol set up. As a result, there is almost no interaction with the waitress, and the food just arrives, but it is timed very well, with reasonable periods between courses.

I did not feel rushed until the desert course was served with the check. The variety of the dishes was fun to experience; each course was very different. Puerto 511 does really well with seafood. My favorites courses were the Ceviche Amazonico and the Tamalito Verde. The flavors were incredible. The Pulpo en su Causa was also a very interesting dish. The combination of ingredients and the inclusion of a cold mashed potato component were both innovative. I was disappointed with the other courses, though. The veal was tough, the lamp chop was tough, and the desert was not very flavorful. The quinoa flan and the passionfruit ice cream did not match very well in flavor or texture. The restaurant building itself was ok. The ambiance did not indicate fine dining to me. The service was not very personable. I would like to come back sometime in a different season, when there is a new menu. But overall, I would say Puerto 511 is definitely a dining experience worth trying.

We ordered a salad, lomo empanada, and 1/2 chicken meal with brussels sprouts & carrots and black beans. To drink we got a chica morada. The lomo empanada had a great flavor and texture which was great to split as an opener. The 1/2 chicken was flavorful with both the light and the dark meat worth trying. The chicken was halved right in from of us with a large cleaver and the freshness was notable. The brussel sprouts were plentiful, crispy if a pinch oily, and with a slight sweetness that went well with the chicken. The beans were fine; likely the only thing we would not get again. Both the mild (white) and medium (green) sauces went very well with both the empanadas and the chicken. The chicha morada tasted of corn, cloves and cinnamon and was a nice sweet treat. Overall, a wonderfully quick spot with great flavor in the inner harbor.

I've been twice now and brought different people each time. The indoor seating is spacious, and it's usually pretty easy to get a table. The music is at a comfortable level, so you can actually have a conversation without shouting, which I really appreciate. I can't speak for the drinks since I didn't order any, but the food is excellent. My standout dishes were the corazon anticuchos. The chimichurri they come with is incredibly flavorful. The pescado a lo macho is also fantastic; it has a rich, curry-like sauce served with white rice, and the combination is genuinely comforting. Definitely don't skip the tostones. We tried the pork tostones, and the portion of pork on top was generous to say the least. That said, I would personally skip the pork belly bao buns, the meat was a bit too tough for my liking. The desserts are good, but I'd recommend sharing them, as they can get quite heavy after a few bites. Overall, I'll definitely be coming back. This has become a new go-to spot in DC for me. Ceviche Mixto: Light and Refreshing. Decent. Coredero Con Raviolis: Lamb Ravioli. A little gamey.
