    Fidel's Peruvian Chicken is a delicious chicken spot in Montgomery County. They have amazing Peruvian style rotisserie chicken. The green hot sauce is the same as other chicken spots but their yellow sauce has extra seasoning and is one of the best I've had. The chicken is well seasoned. The customer service was outstanding i will definitely be back to check out there menu.

    Ceviche Mixto (~$20)
    Gellie E.

    We ordered takeout for dinner and I would order from here again. I ordered the Ceviche Mixto (~$20; came with a mix of squid, shrimp, and fish). The ceviche was fresh, bright, and acidic. There was a good mix of seafood and generous amounts of red onion. The dish was supposed to come with a side of sweet potato and corn, but they were out of corn and asked if we were okay with them substituting the corn with yucca fries instead (we were fine with that). All entrees came with yellow and green dipping sauces. Both were tasty and great for dipping the yucca fries in. The yucca fries sure were meaty! We also ordered the Grilled Cordero (lamb chops; ~$23) and Carne Asada (skirt steak; $20). Both entrees came with two sides and were also served on a bed of white rice topped with salsa. They didn't ask what temperature we wanted the meat cooked for either of the dishes, but they were both nice and tender and plenty flavorful. The lamb chops were on the tiny side, which would be my only complaint. For sides, we ordered yucca fries, cilantro rice, and plantains. The cilantro rice is more green and spiced than cilantro flavored. The plantains were sweet and crispy. We called and ordered in advance; online ordering is also available. Food was made quickly and our order was accurately packaged. Fidel's is a nice Peruvian option in the Colesville area.

    Ceviche had a nice kick to it, and the people are very nice! I recommend the chicha morada as well. The tallarin saltado is solid I got it with shrimp 10/10!

    Friendly staff, excellent chicken, great chicken and fried rice. There's a noticeable lack of a soda machine here, so think about buying that two liter bottle! Also, no Coke Zero.

    The shop at the end of this Plaza has sat vacant for ages, and I was glad to see something move into it. Stopping in, I was even more glad it was this place. There's no shortage of Peruvian chicken restaurants in the area. Heck, there's several within walking distance of this place. It's a tough niche to be in, and it's hard to set a restaurant apart. So, what sets this one apart? One word. Smoke. They're smoking the chicken, which adds tremendous flavour, and is incredibly good. I'm not sure if it's actually smoking, or just if they use a lot more during the grill, but it's delicious. The chicken just fell apart. The sides were awesome. If I had to stretch for some negatives: They could use a soda fountain. Only cans, and they're expensive ($2).... for someone who needs a coke to wash the food down, it isn't great. The sauces were great, and a little different. But. The sauce portions -- especially for a half chicken -- were a little light. But, the food was fantastic. And in can pop next door to Quench for a drink after.

    So glad this place is in walking distance from the house. There are a lot of Peruvian chicken places in the area but this one stands apart. The chicken falls off the bone and has incredible flavor. The sauces are also great. I liked both but really enjoyed the yellow one. Sides were the only thing a bit lacking. I wanted rice and beans but unfortunately you have to order two separate sides - one rice and one beans, if you want that as they don't serve them together as many other places do. The fried yuca was very tasty, especially in the sauces. I'm very much looking forward to eating more chicken and trying out some of the other Latin bites!

    I had gone here for a family dinner on Sunday,March 22nd. This is my second time dining at this…read morelocation and the food always has a great flavor, the drinks as well. I had made a reservation for 7 but one of my family members had to cancel last minute. When we were walked to our table, we walked past a table for 6 and then we continued walking past it. We ended up being sat at a table for 4 with two chairs on the end of it. We had asked to be moved over but they had said they were going to split the table into two seperate tables. Now, I question where they were going to seat us if we were 7! Personally, I don't like to be bumping knees at the table, especially if we are paying a few hundred for our dinner. I understand that the restaurant wants to make as much money as possible however I believe they can do so without making an uncomfortable experience for their patrons.

    This is a must visit when in DC…read more I enjoyed this place so much that I dined here back to back with two different groups and both raved about the octopus. We came during happy hour from 4-7 PM, which only applies to alcoholic beverages. The cocktails were excellent and definitely worth ordering. Service was a bit inconsistent, as our first visit had better timing and attentiveness, but both servers were pleasant. Each table was also given a dish of corn nuts to snack on while waiting for food. *Pinazo: the lightest cocktail I tried. The pineapple flavor came through clearly even though the puree was not visible. It was very fragrant, though I could not detect the amarena cherry. The fruit largely masked the vodka. *Lychee Pisco: the lychee puree itself was mild, with most of the flavor coming from the fruit garnish. The elderflower and hibiscus notes were more prominent. As someone who enjoys floral profiles, I liked this, though others may find it more perfumed than expected. *Guapo's Pisco: the passionfruit was again on the milder side, while the ginger beer stood out more. Served in a metal mug, it drank like a sweeter Moscow Mule. *Passion Pisco Sour: the pisco sours had more distinct and vibrant flavors overall, and I would highly recommend them if you enjoy fruit forward drinks with an egg white finish. There is also a flight option, which I would have ordered if not for happy hour. This one was my favorite, with a well balanced mix of tartness and sweetness. *Chicha Sour: more tart than the passion version, with a warmer, spiced undertone. The cinnamon added a subtle smokiness, though it still leaned sweeter than expected. *Ceviche Sampler: includes tradicional, cremoso, and callejero. A great way to try a range of flavors, and everyone in my group had a different favorite. I would recommend asking for crispy plantains, as they were not automatically included and help carry the seafood. The tradicional leaned heavily on acidity, allowing the fish to shine, though it felt a bit one note. The sweet potato helped balance it. The callejero was my favorite, with a noticeable kick in the leche de tigre. The cancha and choclo added nuttiness, earthiness, and crunch. The cremoso sat in between, with more body and a slightly sweeter, richer profile thanks to the sweet potato. My only complaint was that the fish pieces were cut quite large, so we had to break them down further. *Causa Sampler: another trio featuring crocante, tartare, and pollo. These were heavier despite the smaller portions. The whipped potato base was well seasoned and had more structure than typical mashed potatoes. The crocante featured a large fried shrimp with rocoto aioli, though I would have preferred the sauce on the side. The flavor leaned like a standard spicy mayo. The tuna tartare had a Japanese influence, but the aioli was overly sweet, making the dish feel cloying. A thicker layer of avocado could have helped balance it. The wonton crisp was also missing both times I ordered it. The chicken version was the most mild and rustic, and needed more acidity or spice to bring it together. Despite this, the trio had potential with some adjustments. *Plancha Pulpo: a must order. This featured a large grilled octopus leg served with causa and choclo on a sizzling plate. The octopus had a smoky char and garlicky chimichurri, with a perfect balance of tenderness and chew. It rivaled a well cooked steak and was easily the standout dish. *Lomo Saltado: medium rare tenderloin stir fried with onions and peppers. The savory sweet sauce coated the fries, rice, and meat beautifully. The flavor leaned slightly Asian, and the beef was juicy and tender. The vegetables were soft and naturally sweet. *Pionono: fried sponge cake filled with Nutella and dulce de leche. It was quite sweet, but the coffee chip ice cream added a deep, rich contrast. The ice cream alone was standout quality. This dessert is easily shareable among four. *Flan: a classic base topped with grilled pineapple and quinoa tuille. The flan itself was smooth and creamy, though the pineapple's acidity distracted from it. It would have benefited from more caramelization. The quinoa tuille added texture more than flavor. *Suspiro: a polarizing dessert, but one I personally enjoyed. The manjar blanco was extremely rich and sweet, paired with an equally sugary meringue. I would have liked more texture or a torched finish for contrast. The passionfruit glaze was my favorite element, though it was used sparingly and could have helped balance the dish more if incorporated throughout. Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar deserves its praise. The portions are generous, and the flavors are thoughtfully composed. While there are small tweaks I would make, the overall execution stands out and feels a step above many other options in DC.

I went here a few times in the first year living in Russett including in November 2020 as it was just up the road to Hanover. My parents & I enjoyed the chicken at the time when they visited the week of Thanksgiving. Their chicken was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. It's no Don Pollo, Sardi's, or others, but it does the good and was convenient at times. The last time I went to Lima's was in October 2024. It was Friday, 10/11/24. I had a Poker night at an acquaintance's place in Arundel Mills area, and this was on the way. I wanted to eat beforehand as I wasn't sure what the food situation was going to be. Ultimately, Lima's kind of pissed me off. I was asking about trying samples of a couple of the sides (as I didn't remember; it had been maybe 2 years since I went), and there was a language barrier, where I had to repeat, which was frustrating. I ate in the restaurant. Cashier was unfriendly, and I realized they charged me 10 cents for the Anne Arundel County's stupid bag tax, or maybe it was Lima's just wanting to charge the fee. It was complete laziness on their part to not ask me whether I was eating in the restaurant or taking it to go. I know it's only 10 cents, but it's the principle of it. I won't return here.

First, the chicken. Ohhhhh my. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, and that distinctive spice mix that says pollo a la brasa. I could have eaten a whole chicken! But I know better ... lol Coleslaw: exactly the right mix of sweet and tangy for me. Some folks don't like sweet at all, so you should know, it is a little sweet. But crispy and not at all droopy. Rice and beans: these are mixed together and it's brilliant. The black beans are cooked just enough to not be mushy, and the "sauce" from them has a hint of spice that melds beautifully with the vaguely saffron rice. Sauces: ah, here's a thing. The yellow sauce was perfect. The green sauce was FIERY. I found a good recipe for "authentic" Peruvian green sauce and have been making it at home for over a year. But truth to tell, I grow my own jalapeños and none of them were super hot. Both of us were a bit surprised at how hot the sauce was. It was just over the edge for me, and we added a little mayo (how many of you know it's made with mayo? lol) which brought it down to tasty level.
