    Prices went up a $1 or $2 on several items.
    Donald P.

    3.5 Stars (rounding up to 4). I just realized YELP changed the meaning of the stars (3 stars used to mean "A-Okay", and 4 stars meant "I'm a fan"). Now it means "OK", and "Good", respectively. While I could say the food was "Good", it's hard to say "I'm a fan"....just yet. I stopped by yesterday for the first time for takeout. I can't say this is the best Peruvian Chicken I've had, but at least it scratches the itch. Overall, not bad, and will likely be back to try a few more other items. CHICKEN: The biggest thing I'm looking for in Peruvian chicken is a STRONG mouth-watering pop of flavors with the first bite. The flavors here are a bit more subdue than I'm hoping for, but still good. In fact, my wife seemed to appreciate that subtlety more than the spice-bomb I'm looking for. We ordered a whole chicken meal for ourselves and 4 single meals for some workers. We thought the chicken was good, and got neither compliments or complaints from the workers. YUCA: I would rate these as A-OK. They didn't quite have the crisp golden look I was expecting. SAUCES: I thought the white and green sauces that others have commented on were okay. The white sauce was sweet, and when I asked the person (owner?) behind the counter what was in it, he muttered through his face mask something to the effect that the guy who makes the sauces was not there, and it's a secret. The sauces is thinner than other places. I normally skip the green sauce, but I found it pretty good here. PRICES: The prices at the store versus on the menu and website has increased (reference the picture of the menu). I've venture to guess these increases are a related to the new normal (i.e., COVID-19). ---------------------- (Prices as of 12/29/2020) MEALS (2 sides) 1/4 Chicken - $7.75 1/2 Chicken - $9.75 Whole Chicken - $18.75 CHICKEN ONLY 1/4 Chicken - $6.50 1/2 Chicken - $8.50 Whole Chicken - $15.50 OTHER ENTREES Lomo Saltado - $13.50 Tallarin Saltado (Beef) - $13.50 Bistec a lo Pobre - $15.00 Carne Asada - $13.99 Chicken Sandwich - $7.99 Steak & Cheese - $8.75 Misky Chaufa (Beef) - $11.50 ----------------------------------- As a side note, I went into the bathroom to wash my hands, and was a little surprised to see it could use a little more TLC. It wasn't terrible, but the business and the building is relatively new.

    plantains
    Allie Y.

    I want to love this spot since it's right next to my house, but I just couldn't fall in love. The chicken was so mild in flavor, but I will say, it was juicy. The plantains weren't what I was used to. It was a bit dry and flavorless. Huge plus that this place took my order over the phone and had it ready in 10 minutes. but y'all the plantains made me sad. so I can't recommend the plantains. I know my husband enjoyed their food, so it's different for everybody.

    Register was so friendly and all smiles, really brightens up the place. Chicken was good, not dry and moist . Salted pretty well and the rice was also delicious. No complaints to be had.

    Allegedly Peruvian Chicken
    Brian W.

    Nope! This is not Peruvian chicken. At best, this is baked chicken with a ton of salt on the skin. The chicken has no hints of the cumin, garlic, lime, smokey flavor,etc. that you expect with Peruvian chicken and any recipe associated with it. This chicken was not good and dry. We also received the driest yuccas ever fried. Yuk!

    Matthew B.

    Quick and professional service. The whole chicken was delicious and the side of yuca was cooked to perfection. One note is that their whole chicken price has increased from $13.49 to 16.99

    I went here to pick up dinner for my son while I was waiting for carry out food next door. I'm not sure how much business they actually get...maybe because they are new, but there was nobody in there when I came. The chicken was on par with many other Peruvian chicken places. Got mac and cheese as the side and that was pretty gross. It tasted like a frozen entree mac and cheese that they just warmed up. Also, I normally love the yellow sauce, but I did not like the one they have here. It tastes different from other places. I would probably go to other chicken places before I ever came back to this one. I forgot to take a picture of the quarter chicken meal we got.

    Their chicken sandwich comes with fries and is SO tasty! Fresh pieces of chicken in a crunchy roll. Love the spicy green sauce they include. I always ask for an extra because it tastes great with both the sandwich and the fries.

    Chicken was okay--a little dry. The yuca was extremely dry. The man serving me was very nice.

    The chicken has great flavor and is decently priced. Perfect for a quick mid week take out meal for the whole family to enjoy.

    Beautiful restaurant with good service…read more Our favorites were: ceviche classic, beef empanadas, fried sushi. Will return to try more dishes.

    BLUF: Ok, after being open 3+ years, one would think that an upscale restaurant would get their act…read morein gear & deliver wonderful service every time, right? 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.
