Good Peruvian food with a nice ambience. This place is VERY popular and seemed to have a lot of…read morepeople when I came. The interior is clean and pretty, and the fancy plates make it feel like a nice spot for a family brunch or meal. That said, the wait was a bit annoying. I was told it would be about 15 minutes, but I ended up waiting closer to 30-45 minutes. I came around 3:40 PM on a Sunday, so maybe it was just an especially busy time, but I wish they had a better waiting system or at least gave more accurate updates. I also found the prices pretty high in general. Most dishes are $20+, which adds up quickly. And I wasn't a fan of their tap water, it tasted a little off to me. Now onto what I ordered: Aeropuerto de Pollo (3.5/5) Nothing crazy and honestly not worth the price for me. The presentation makes the dish look more impressive than it actually is. Without the crispy stringy bits on top, it mostly just tastes like fried rice. Ceviche (5/5) Really well-made ceviche! Not fishy at all, not overly sour, and I liked the broth/soup part a lot. There was a good amount of onion that helped balance everything out. $20 is definitely on the pricier side for ceviche, but I guess that's the cost of fish these days Lomo Saltado (4/5) Lomo saltado is usually my go-to Peruvian dish, so I had high expectations. This one was a little saltier than I'd prefer, and they were definitely skimping on the rice. The meat was also a bit tough. Still good overall, but I think Barra Brava's lomo saltado is slightly better. I am still curious what their other foods are like so I might give this place a try again one day!

Shredded salad was tasty. Steak was a bit tough. You get a choice in how the egg is cooked. Fries were typical. Food was good but nothing really overwhelmed me in terms of flavor. Note that the menu indicated "eggs" but there was really only just one "egg." Service: Super friendly.

Wanted to love this place but just too many things wrong for it be worth the price or even a visit…read more The restaurant itself is in a nice area and it is clean. For the food: The papa rellena appetizer was cold in the middle after we waited about 15 minutes for it. Seco dish was almost $30 and barely any meat on the bone. It was like 70% bone and 30% meat. The service: The service is also not the best. Not really a positive attitude, no urgency, didn't check in unless we called them over. And to top it all off, they charge a 20% tip and we were just a party of 3. So we got bad service, cold food, high price, and were then required to pay 30%, AND 3% surcharge for using a credit card. We won't be trying this place again unfortunately. I would recommend trying another Peruvian spot.

Let me start by saying, I really love this resturant! This is my second time going there, as I went…read morethere last week with friends, and wanted to go again as their menu was extensive! I wanted to wait and give a review after the first time as I hoped it wasn't one of those, ("the first time it was great! The second time...not so much.), let me reassure you that was not the case with Autentico! On my first visit, I had a seafood selection, and it was so fresh and so good! I was also checking out my buddy's chunks of beef that were part of his meal, and wanted that too! He gave me a chunk and it was so tender, juicy and good, I knew on my next visit, I would have to order some form of their steak! The service was spot on, and food order time to table, was exceptional! My next visit came yesterday, and yes I ordered a steak! It was a late Friday afternoon, and even though they were busy with a few large tables of people, service was still outstanding and the food was even better than the first time! If you have read some of my reviews, by the time I think to take pictures, there's not much left to take a picture of! Also, I know some people just take pictures and not much else, and while something can look really good in a photo, you have to dig into it to unearth what's really good about the dish, and everything I have tried at Autentico, was superb! I ordered the NY Strip with fries and instead of the rice that comes with it, I asked if I could substitute veggies for the rice? They said no problem! While the first time I had a couple bottles of their Corona, which was very cold and was also provided with a frosted glass, this time I asked for a Modelo Especial. I was told they had it on tap! Major points, as I love all of Modelo's products especially the stouts! It was just my buddy from work this time and me, and we had such a great meal and the ambiance was awesome! I had joked my first time visiting there while driving in, that there was an Irish resturant right next to it! I mentioned that we should go there after for a couple pints. We never got around to it, as we were too full both times to make it in. But that resturant is in the back of my mind for a future visit! So if you do go to Autentico, you won't be disappointed. It's a great location that's worth the drive, and an exceptional resturant!

DO NOT give your credit card until you see the bill , that's what happened to me, they without asking you charged your in your Credit card you 18% "gratuity"( tip) it's in the bill when they bring the bill with your credit card besides, in the same bill not even happy to take your money immediately they leave a space to put a suggested tip(another tip}, yes another tip, so the owner thinks that we should pay the waiter or waitress salary.

Second time at this restaurant…read more Walked in for lunch at 1pmish... No tables available, only bar. That's okay, I was lunching alone. Ambiance is always posh and elegant. I like it a lot. Ordered the Lunch Prix Fixe, $27 for 3 courses. Plenty of food -- I won't be having dinner today. Started with sparkling water, San Pellegrino -- was an extra cost of course. Provided in a red wine glass with a lime. Very elegant, I might add. They threw a tiny bowl of corn nuts as a snackie snack. Starter course, I ordered the ceviche chipotle. Because I came with sweet potato. Ceviche came with a very generous portion swai fish and shrimp. Deliciously prepared, the sauce was amazing. A little on the too much red onion side, but that's to be expected of a ceviche dish. I was full after just the first course, but I pressed on. Second course, I ordered chaufa de mariscos. Seafood fried rice. Delicious rice as shrimp. The squid and calamari were a bit too over cooked and rubbery for my liking. Sadly not too much seafood in this dish. Still delicious and delightful. Third course, dessert, I ordered the arroz con leche cheesecake. For those with a very sweet tooth -- this is your jam. Small portion but packed lots of flavor. Dulce de leche drizzle all over. I enjoyed every bite. Overall, great experience. Will do the fixed price Lunch Prix Fixe again. Pisco and Nasca dining is a great hit every time - thoroughly recommend. Cheers! -gabe

Especially at their prices & the hoity toity atmosphere, you'd think they'd also be well-run and reasonably accommodating, eh? Nope. Worth the drive? Not any more. Worth the wait? Definitely not anymore! For as many times as we've frequented Pisco in Reston with a small group, one would think they'd get their seating straightened out. Every time we've attempted to eat here on a reservation, they've had issues. Never set up and ready to seat us. Never prepared upon opening... and it's never busy when they first open which is why we always go early. But, they are NEVER ready to seat us. What's the use of making a reservation a week in advance if you're not going to be ready to seat the party nor accommodate the request? How would you like to find out at the last minute that they're going to split up your party at two different tables on two different sides of the restaurant because they weren't prepared when you gave them a week's notice via reservation? The food isn't that good to have to keep going through the challenge of being seated every time we make a reservation for a group. They're really pricey, too. So, certainly not worth this chronic headache. There are PLENTY of other places in the Town Center or in Herndon/Reston in general where you can get a tasty meal, not drop a day's pay, and have your entire party served well together. The taco joint across the street is definitely a more pleasant experience, for example, and I would certainly recommend bartaco...give them a try instead for a fun environment and some good eats.
