    DON C.

    One of the best Peruvan Chicken spots around the DMV! Don Pollo is "Peruvian Chicken Done Right"...in my book. Hot, flavorful moist and seasoned to the bone!....all done over an open spit-fire rotisserie and charcoal. It is one of my favorites places for really good Peruvian Chicken and all the sides are great as well...with the chicken fried rice and plantains being my "go to!" But, if these sides are not to your liking....there are plenty of additional sides to choose from such as green beans, mashed potatoes, salad, black beans & rice, potato salad, cucumber salad and coleslaw. All of them are just as good. I also am a huge fan of their lomo saltado is incredible. Super tender, seasoned juicy steak sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and spices....the topped over hot crispy frits (fries)! This dish is....EVVEEERYTHANG!! The vibe of the place is casual and both inside dining and takeout is available. You simply order your food, sit at your table and when the foods ready....your order is called for pickup at the counter. With great food, portions and an excellent price point....no need to say any more but to get to this place and give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

    This place was pretty good and really packed upon arrival. Food came out in a good time and good amount of seating available. The chicken was good but kind of dry and the rice and beans were pretty flavorful and cooked nicely. I was shocked that they had chicharrón de pollo as a Dominican woman whose culture also specializes in that had to give it a try, well it definitely wasn't like the one we have but instead chicken tenders just fried up none the less still good and what made it better was that onion and tomato slaw on top. It gave it this refreshing yet vinegar punch it was so good we got some to go, with that being said they charge 3 dollars for a small size portion the size of my 5 year olds hand. The yuca fries were cooked all differently some were fried to perfection some were fried and tasted as if they sat out too long and then others were fried not long enough and tasted raw. Cashier was nice but the lady calling out the numbers and orders wasn't so friendly it's really all over the place when coming to this establishment hopefully as a team they can work together and prices for certain items don't continue to overly priced.

    Decent Peruvian Chicken shop with ample seating space inside. I got the half chicken with 2 sides, which was about $18. Chicken was moist and well seasoned inside and out. The fried plantains were a bit too burnt on the outside, but still yummy, and the yucca fries weren't dry.

    Very impressive for my first time. I ordered my go to Everytime I have Peruvian and it did not dissapoint

    Amazing experience for a first time visit. Eric, the person taking our order was very accommodating and helped us order dishes either he liked or many of their customers bought. He also brought our food to our table. Neat environment and spacious. There are signs on certain tables where they skipped - meaning people will not be seated in close proximity to each other. The employees wore masks and gloves!

    Seafood chaufa
    Xavier C.

    Nice and clean place I order the seafood chaufa and I was not very happy with it because the seafood this time was bearly there and it seemed like the order was not prepared to order but what kind of trouble me was that I asked for a slice of lemon and seemed to bother the cashier who ended up selling me a piece of dry lime :( the first time I ate here was the ceviche and it was good

    Mild sauces that i didnt order

    Horrible service, i placed an order through DASH and when i got my order they had sent me all mild sauces. When i called the restaurant i spoke to the "manager" and she accused me of lying and i told her i was looking at the app and clearly stays that I ordered spicy sauce, she replied with sarcasm saying " awww im so sorry but here i only see mild sauce" nothing i can do and hang up. Called back and they would pick up and leave the phone hanging or just hang up on me.

I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

Food: I don't remember what I got from this location but it SLAPPED! I think it was a local Protein plate! Yummy! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. *Parking: There's plenty of parking considering it's on a college campus!

A true NYer, at this "Deli" in DC?!? YEP! This restaurant was it!! There is a full beer, wine and snack store in the front, on the left side, the deli and desserts on the right side. The restaurant is in the back. So, as stated, I had my order to go. I ordered the twin deli on a Kaiser roll - one half pastrami, the other half corned beef, onion rings for the side, and a pickle. When I tell you EVERYTHING was delicious. It was delicious. I will say, the pastrami was my favorite. I LOVE pastrami!! Corned beef was tender, not dry. I'll say this... I have NEVER, had more delicious onion rings in my life!! Have you ever had a juicy onion ring before? Never have I ever. Ambiance was nice, very clean presenting. Staff was personable, friendly, extremely competent. I highly recommend.

The décor leans more classic and strait-laced, but in a warm, comfortable. Service is typically solid, and when they have a live jazz band performing? That's an added bonus that elevates the whole experience. And with their frequent diner program, you can rack up points on your visits and redeem them later for dollars off your bill, which makes an already good meal feel even better. My Go-To's: Spinach & Artichoke Dip One of the best around. It's always cooked just right, never underdone, never burnt. Great flavor and perfectly creamy. And yes, I'm the one mixing it up with salsa and sour cream for an extra flavor kick. Fiesta Eggrolls A flavorful favorite. Rotisserie Chicken Salad Think Tex-Mex salad loaded with all the good stuff. I love, mixing the BBQ sauce with the chipotle blue cheese dressing, it's the perfect sweet-smoky combo. It used to come with cornbread croutons (which were such a nice sweet touch), so now I just order a slice of their delicious cornbread on the side. Chicken Pot Pie Comfort food done right. Rattlesnake Pasta It almost gives Rasta Pasta vibes, but without the heat. Creamy, flavorful, and filling. Barbecue Ribs Tender, saucy, and satisfying. Key Lime Pie One of the best. And the fact that they sell it whole? Dangerous! Pineapple Upside Down Cake My new favorite. Nice and moist and comes à la mode. Don't just take my word for it. Check out "Copper Canyon Grill" and experience it for yourself! Mmmm... Bon Appetit! Cheers! Enjoy!
