    a tray of chicken and french fries - A food tray contains fried chicken, yuca fries, and plantains, accompanied by yellow and green dipping sauces.
    Zack W.

    Chicken had good flavor, fresh, and hot. Yuca fries and plantains were very good too. Cafeteria style where to point to what you want.

    Carne asada with three sides

    I came from Sunny south Florida and I was looking for good wholesome food. King Apollo met every expectation on my book. Come HUNGRY!! This place offers Peruvian and Salvadoran options. More Salvadoran but amazing food none the less. I bought carne asada and it came with 3 sides. My family also bought sopa de res which was delicious. The meat and the pupusas are freshly made, the sides are on a hot window but they refresh their items often. Try their yellow secret sauce! It's bomb.com The establishment is clean, food is fresh, and the staff is extremely friendly. A King Pollo needs to make its way to Miami,Fl

    Super rich chicken and beans exquisite, I can not desire anything bad from this restaurant, the food rich, the attention good and clean, I highly recommend it.

    This is the smalles quart of chicken I have ever had. - A takeout meal in a styrofoam container includes spaghetti with sauce, rice with mixed vegetables, a piece of fried chicken, and green beans.

    Unpleased. I paid more than what was valued. Incredibly bad customer service . No customer understand. My total was well over $50 and they still missed a side order of fries. Would give zero stars but can't. I would go elsewhere. Chicken was very very dry and nowhere besr tasting the actualt peruvian chicken.

    whole chickens they cut up in front of you.

    This is a hole in the wall place and their lunch deal here is awesome. Peruvian chicken 1/4 for $5, 1/2 chicken for $7. U get two sides with that too. Sometimes when I wanna change it up I get the Carne Guisada, delicious. Great food for a great price.

    See all

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.

Food: Enjoyed the Restaurant Week menu and the Pisco Sour special. This was my 3rd here and 1st time eating. The drinks are great and the food is good. All the time, at least one of the stalls in the ladies restaurant was out of order. I wish they would get this fixed cause it seems to be an ongoing problem.

    Best peruvian chicken that keeps me going back everytime I'm in VA. It's conveniently located in a…read moreshopping plaza so I always grab a bite in between stores. Chicken is moist and flavorful. It comes with 2 sauces the green one is spicy and the yellow one is creamy and mild. You can choose to get a quarter, half or whole chicken with or without sides. I usually always get Yucca fries and plantains. I just love the crunchy yucca and sweet plantains. Sometimes they change up the menu on other items...this last visit they started to offer burritos. The guys behind the counter are very fast and efficient. You can either sit inside or outside. It can get pretty crowded during peak lunch hours. We've always been able to find a seat though, as people eat and leave. And I avoid peak times. Lots of to go orders as well.

    If you're hungry for good Peruvian rotisserie chicken, this is the place to go. I love this place,…read morethey feed you really well and their food is terrific. The chicken is flavorful, juicy, and delicious and you get two sides with a 1/4 chicken, with the portions being huge. My son, who has a big appetite loves coming here because he eats like he has a hollow leg and he actually gets full. You cannot go wrong with the chicken, at all. If you order any of the other dishes, it's usually a surprise to the workers and it takes some time. I ordered Pollo Saltado once, and it took almost 40 minutes to come out, and it was good, but tough to eat on a styrofoam plate, so I order that at some of my other favorite Peruvian places (Pollos Inti), but if I just want to take down a chicken, this is the place for me. The sides range from fries, yucca, plantains, white rice, fried rice, cole slaw, veggies, and beans- I love all of them. The sauces are great- if you're familiar with Peruvian chicken places, you'll like the green and yellow sauces. I only wish I could just have a bottle of the sauce when I'm eating in the restaurant because I use a lot of it. Once in a while you have a language barrier issue, especially if you're not ordering chicken, but someone usually helps you out, either another employee or customer. I'll use Google translate if I have to, because when I want that good chicken, I won't be stopped!

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.
