    a tray of chicken and french fries
    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

    This is the smalles quart of chicken I have ever had.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing food! The sauces are incredible and they are not at all stingy with the portions. I visit here nearly every time I come to Sterling.

    Best Peruvian chicken spot in northern Virginia hands down. The sides are delicious and very large portions.

    Out of the three Peruvian chicken places in Sterling, this is the best one. The portions are generous.

    Great food for a good price. Everyone gets the quarter chicken with two sides, but I love the chicken burrito bowl.

    Pisco y Nazca Ceviche Gastrobar, located in Reston Town Center, offers authentic, fresh Peruvian…read moreceviche, a vibrant atmosphere, and excellent pisco sours. 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!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, especially the dessert! We were visiting a friend who recommended this spot, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, but even with a full house, it was still easy to have a conversation at the table. Overall, a great dining experience and a place we'd happily return to.

They have good drink options which was nice for a group which all had different tastes. We started with appetizers, including the chicken empanadas, the tuna tacos, and ceviche sampler. The chicken empanadas were good, if not particularly memorable. But had a nice crunch on the shell and the inside had a nice savory flavor and not dry. The tuna tacos, which didn't have the most appetizing color, was also tasty. The tuna was tender and balanced well with the crispy shell. The ceviche sampler was also delicious, each one having a different flavor profile. I liked the tigre de leche the best in terms of the acidity and brightness. I just wish the ceviche had some kind of vessel to eat it with. One of the ceviche had plantain chips which was nice but I wanted more. Without it, the texture is just one note. For the main dishes, we got the lomo saltado and the aji de gallina which are two, iconic Peruvian dishes. Both were just meh. The aji was the better of the two. The sauce was flavored well with the creaminess of the sauce not overwhelming the garlic and tumeric flavors. But the rice was SUPER dry, almost crunchy. The lomo saltado was even worse. The beef was overly cooked, some pieces were very sinewy and chewy. It was also overly salty and the veggie to meat ratio heavily favored the veggies and made the dish feel cheap. Overall, it was fine but given the options for Peruvian in DC, not sure this deserves 4 stars+.

I'm not even kidding, it was 40 people with no reservations prior, they showed up with a wedding cake too lol. The staff was running around like chickens with their head cut off. The wedding party kept bumping into our table and other patrons table, needless to say we were all super annoyed, . I mean I get restaurants need business but to take 40 people without reservations on whim like that was definitely bad judgment on management. We couldn't even hear ourselves talk, it got so loud.

They also have Peruvian breakfast on the weekends which is hard to find. Doesn't get better than their w/ pan con chicharron with the salsa criolla.

Doesn't get any more authentic than here (& my Peruvian husband agrees!)
