    This is a casual Peruvian restaurant. The interior is clean and well designed. Service was quick and friendly. The main attraction is the flavorful, juicy chicken and crisp fried yuca. Worth a visit!

    Went here yesterday during their soft opening. This used to be Don Pollo. I love Peruvian chickens and anytime there is a new place opens, I want to try it out especially if there is one in Vienna. I was surprised how crowded this place is considering they just opened. There are 5 tables that can seat 4 per table and there are about 10 chairs along the bar. I didn't see any alcohols but I assume they will offer eventually. You have two options to order. One at the Kiosk or at the register. The menu is very limited which is good. I decided to order for to go instead. As expected, it took awhile to get my order. No issues for me. What's important is how is the chickens taste. The chickens are actually very good. They are very juicy and not dry at all. Hopefully in the future they will include fried plantain for side dish

    A decent Peruvian chicken restaurant with friendly staff and swift service. Ordering is easy, and you can do so online for pickup too. The main downside is the lack of options, beyond the chicken, that we've grown used to at other Peruvian joints in the area, like Superchicken.

    This is hands down the best Peruvian chicken in the DMV, (I have tried many) the flavor, moisture, sauces are legit just like in Peru and they are not watered down like in many other places. Here you get the real sauces! the arroz choufa is so delicious and the papa rellena OMG ! You must have that as a starter, totally recommend it ! The flavors are just mouthwatering. Unfortunately it did not make the picture it was devoured before we remembered to take a pic The chica morada slushy is a must!!! The service and ambiance is wonderful fast and super friendly. Will be back for sure for more !

    I had been here before and the food was not bad at all as well as the service. I decided to go for…read moreMother's Day since I had not been here in years and was hopeful the food would be the same if not better. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Food selection was smaller, food was not worth the price and service was awful. We did not have a reservation but saw several tables open. They sat us near the welcome booth as we were a family of 5. We were given menus but not enough utensils and thought eventually we would get it along with the menus. There seem to be a huddle of employees in the entrance of booth and the waiter did not show up for another 5 minutes. Another 5 minutes passed and a different waitress showed up asking if we were ready. She did not tell us of any specials and we had to ask her the price of the bistec a lo pobre which she said was $26. We also asked her about other items we saw at the online menu but she said they weren't available. We decided to stay and order ceviche, lomo saltado, anticuchos and bistec a lo pobre. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a chicha. There was no physical menu for children and she verbally told us the options. I ordered chicken tenders and fries for my toddler. She took our orders and food came out after 15 minutes. The meat was missing the sauce the menu said it came with, the ceviche tasted very lemony and the chicken tenders were more like chicken balls. The waitress never showed up with our drinks and we decided to just eat and go as the staff seemed to want to socialize more than tend to the customers. Once we were done, we asked for boxes and the check. Apparently, gratuity was already included and maybe thats why the service was so bad? She hardly came to check on us and to top it off she was surprised when we told her drinks never showed up to please take it off check. She didn't apologize or asked how the food was. She gave us boxes and off we left. Later, we realized the bistec a lo pobre was $28 instead of $26 and we had ordered two. I just wanted to leave at that point and not wait another 5 minutes for waitress to fix her mistake. The ad, as shown in picture, said all moms receive a flower but I guess having three kids with me wasn't enough for me to get one. We also noticed when we left their website said a party of 6 or more has gratuity included but we were a party of 5. What is shown online is very different than what you get in person and if the food was great I would gladly go back for at least takeout. Food is not worth it, the service for Mother's Day made it worst and the environment was mediocre at best. Prices were inconsistent and menu is not appealing. Not sure what happened here but changes should be made at least for Mother's Day.

Food: I came for ladies night which is on Thursdays. $2 margaritas from 3-7 and $5 after 7pm. There are food specials at well. Everything I've had were tasty. Their ceviche is a must. I came in with a group and the owner was super amazing. He is such a gracious host. I met him a few years ago when I met a friend there and he was very kind and personable. They do run specials throughout the year and it's a good time!

It features a modern, trendy, and lively setting with hanging plants, stylish tiles, contemporary lanterns, and warm wood tones, creating a welcoming environment. It's popular for brunch, ceviches, sanguches, salads, seafood dishes, lomo saltados, and more. The dishes we tried were very good, and we recommend: - Causa Sampler, featuring crocante, tartare, and pollo -- all fresh and delicious. - Ceviche Sampler, with traditional, cremoso, and callejero options. - Tostones Sampler, featuring pulled pork, crab salad, and shrimp on crispy, chewy smashed and fried plantains. - Tallarines a la Huancaína: linguine with cream, Parmesan, and Huancaína sauce, topped with lomo saltado -- a unique Peruvian pasta dish that feels more like noodles than traditional pasta. - Arroz con Mariscos: Peruvian-style seafood rice with squid, shrimp, mussels, and salsa criolla, reminiscent of a Peruvian paella. - Lychee Passion & Chicha Colada: tasty mocktails made with lychee, passion fruit puree, chicha morada, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lime.

    4.2 STARTS!! It was an amazing experience for us. In fact,…read morewe went to Peru last year, since then, we never ever had a chance to have Peruvian food again. All the dishes were great! The ceviche was a bit small portion but it was so tasty! We took the last 1cc of it my lamb shank was really good, especially the base of potatoes and the amazing sauce! Fried Fish, Beef Stake, Crispy Cod Fish were great too. Our server was very friendly with a big smile on his face. He recommended also introduced everything to us. I have to mention that, their bathroom has one elevator for people who have issues with climbing stairs. So thoughtful and caring! Oh! Never forget to order one of the best cake: Rice inside Cheese Cake! It was so delicious, and might blow you away! Inside decoration also very nice. Bright and spacey. Definitely will be go go go mood with family and friends again!

    Most of the reviews for this restaurant are pretty old. I was in the neighborhood and decided to…read moregive it a try. I walked in and a fresh batch of chicken just came out. I got half a chicken, which came with 2 sides. There are not a lot of choices for sides like King Pollo. I settled on yucca and fries(the safe choices). Their yucca were nicely fried but the soggy fries were a big disappointment. I like my fries firm like the ones from Pollo Peru. The chicken breast was a bit dry as someone mentioned and the dark meat was definitely the better half. The sauces were excellent. Green one was really spicy and yellow has a good mustard flavor. I would probably not go back since their sides are really limited for my liking and their fries are just too soggy. The price is on par with other Peruvian chicken places.

They also have daily deals posted on the door so definitely look out for those. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a good Peruvian chicken location in Reston :) service is great earlier in the day during the week but starts to get busy around dinner time so be patient usually only 1-2 people working but definitely worth the wait!! Also I usually take this meal home since it's more of a home meal for me and my Wife.
