    Lunch!
    Michelle Y.

    Pretty good! Was in the area and wanted a quick, tasty lunch. This spot did not disappoint. Small with a few well place tables and a tv. Decent decor for a sit-down-carry-out. We got the whole chicken with 2 sides -- yellow rice and fries. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and juicy. The rice had veggies in it and was very good. Fries ... were a bit dry-- like fried twice. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and attentive.

    Exquisitamente rica la comida la atención la amabilidad el lugar muy limpio buen ambiente me encantó primera vez que venia

    Lomo soltado - best ever!

    Total hidden gem! We were in the area getting other takeout when I spotted this place. We gave it a try and I was so glad we did! This was my fave lomo saltado; I got it to go, and was so pleased with the careful packaging. It was just the right amount of spicy, and was perfectly balanced with some yellow sauce. I can't wait to try more dishes and highly recommend this spot nestled in the corner of a shopping strip.

    OK so, I have been raving about this place ever since I moved to the area and I've even shared it with a few coworkers and close friends and I'm here today updating this review because they have lost this customer FOREVER! First, let me say this incident happened a few months ago and I did not want to do this update, but it keeps resurfacing and I feel compelled to inform the public about what they are dealing with when they spend their money and consume food from this place. Since they cut back on the ingredients in their sauces, I've been ordering extra sauce, especially when I ordered a whole chicken and other items . On this particular day, I paid for (three extra green sauce and three extra yellow sauce), and remembered that they did not deliver enough sauce the last time although I had paid for it, so I decided to call and reinforce my point about my sauce before my food was delivered. The young lady who answered the phone did not speak English. She tried, and then handed the phone over to someone else while I was speaking with her. When this person came on the line, I overheard her as she was handing the phone over to this lady, while calling me loco. When I ask this woman, "did she just call me crazy"? She brushed over my question and basically ignored it. Personally, I find this very offensive and comments like this could've been interpreted numerous negative ways. I am a customer and you don't know me to refer to me as "loco" I have paid you in the past for extra sauce and I never received them, and I never bothered to make a fuss about them, but this particular day when I wanted to make sure I was not ripped off again over some petty sauce I was called crazy. So to end this, y"all don't need this "crazy" woman's money. And good luck with your business and I hope you continue to receive only Spanish-speaking customers who you can treat fairly and give them all of the sauces for free while the rest of your customers have to pay for them. I mean my goodness we can make the sauces at home, but why should we when we are spending our money on the food? The sauce comes with the food. Some people choose not to have them, and some people choose to. When I choose and I pay for extra that's all I asked for. Money don't speak my language. Get your shit together! BYE‼

    Gios Restaurant, main Entrance.

    Gio's Restaurant is a small restaurant located near Weaton Plaza and on Georgia Ave. This is a traditional Nicaraguan restaurant, you will find the traditional= Nacatamales, Baho, Tajadas con Carne y Queso, quesillos, Lengua en Salsa. It's all tastes like Grand-Ma's homemade food.

    Ok my fellow Yelpers this is the real deal. We have been looking for a place that sells Nicaraguan food for years and it is here. Have to try the Fritanga and fried cheese with a nice cold Tona. Super good and super nice service.

    La comida fabulosa, se presenta como pollo a las brasas pero tienen comida de Nicaragüense deliciosa como yo la recuerdo con ese sabor a casa con una deliciosa Toña . Con una amabilidad extraordinaria. Local pequeño pero muy limpio. El parqueo es un centro comercial que al rededor hay mas negocios hispanos, muchos carros.

    I used to eat here often but it's no longer very good. In my recent visit, I got 1/2 chicken with sides. 1 portion of the chicken was extremely dry. I suspect it to be leftover from the previous day. The other piece was ok neither had great flavor. They're also more expensive than other places with better chicken. El Pollo Rico in Wheaton is some of the best Peruvian chicken around and Gio's is more expensive. Not sure how that's possible. Gio's is close to my house and I used to like the place but somethings changed. Dry and no flavor. See pics. 1 piece was cooked ok and the other was overcooked , super dry or probably old.

    El Pollo Rico was my first Peruvian chicken spot. After over 15 years since this experience I've…read morepatronized quite a few different places and ventured back to where the journey began to compare. Spoiler Alert: It's number 1. Though what I really like about the place changed. When I first went all they offered was Chicken, Cole slaw, and fries. In a world of many option I actually thought this sent a message that we are so good we only offer a limited choice that's you will enjoy. Tbf the fries can't compete w McD or Chikfila Waffle fries but they were good. The service counter is modernized and they are efficient and friendly. The layout if the restaurant is still basic like the limited menu they used to have. No frills no gimmicks just good food. Still the same vibe The chicken was still very good. Other places are fairly close but Apollo Rico is just a touch better. The charred seasoning is evident. What tipped the scales for me in comparison to other places I've been is the green sauce. It liked fresh. It wasnt like other places where that has the consistency of ketchup it looked bright green and freshly made vs other places where it seems as if it was poured out a container.

    So glad I finally got to try this place. I went around 5:30 on a weekday and there was maybe 2…read moreother people in line. So it was definitely the best time to go. We ordered a half chicken with yuca and beans as the sides. It was very quick, we got our food within seconds it felt like. The chicken was probably the most flavorful kind of Pollo a la Brasa that I have had. It wasn't too greasy either. Just very tasty. The beans were delicious!! I didn't think I would like them as much. The yuca was pretty good too. Nice and crispy. I do wish they had slightly more options for sides, maybe even an Arroz Chaufa. This is a no frills kinda place so don't expect anything too fancy. But it is clean! And that's what makes it more authentic and fun in my opinion! Will definitely go back if I'm in the area.

I needed to have a fast way to order and then simply go for pick up - NOT stand around waiting for the pupusas to cook. The online system worked pretty well but the menu is not that well organized. The restaurant is way bigger than I expected. It was crowded even at 2 in the afternoon so that was a good indication. But I have to admit that the floors, counters and tables were pretty dirty. That surprised me. My order was delivered to me quickly by a very nice and friendly cashier and I went back to my office. The pupusas were fresh and still steaming hot from the oven. I went with the safe chicken & cheese pupusas. The flavor was delicious! There was a little more grease than I expected but I hear that is just part of the pupusa expeience! I would definitely go back and try some of the other flavors. Do I recommend La Casita to others? Yes I do!!!
