Great Pollo Peruano for an incredible low price. $5.95 for a 1/4 of white meat and 2 sides and as many chips and salsa that you could eat, Really? The fried Yuca was tender and crispy and the re-boiled blacks beans full of flavor. Our waitress, Vanessa was very friendly and fast. I will go back there whenever I have a chance and try the rest of the menu. Simple but pleasant ambiance. read more

This restaurant was not what I expected at all. While the place is clean and decorated in a fun fashion it was far from how I expected it to be. The queso was not queso at all. It was just Velveta queso dip - might I add it was cold. The tacos my sister and I ordered took forever, and were also cold. Aside from the bad food, the staff being unfriendly was not making me want to ever come back. read more

The Staff is great and food is amazing i love this place and will be bringing my family more often

DO NOT COME HERE!!! Owner is cheap and food is ok at best!!! My girlfriend and I tried using a coupon ($25 off of $50 minimum purchase) and they wouldn't accept it. I purchased it on Restaurant.com so I thought they would accept the coupon, NOPE. Why sell from a third party site and not accept the coupons in your restaurant?! That's pretty cheap...anyways the first time we went there they wouldn't accept it and argued with us at the end which totally ruined the meal. Tonight we decided to go back because we wanted fajitas and it's close. We called and the manager or whoever that guy pretending to have power is told me that no problem we could use it and to tell them his name if we have issues. Hahahahaha!!! What a joke!!! When we came in we asked for him and he shook our hand and told us no problem and we could use it. At the end out our meal we told the waiter that we have a coupon and she said we don't accept them. I told them his name and they said he left and they won't accept it. I'm at a loss and can't believe a restaurant would pull a cheap fast move like this. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!! read more

Great place for picking up some good charcoal Chicken with good sides. If you have to dine in its ok but don't expect a fancy set up. Their beef taco and fish is good as well. Great place for that shopping center . read more

I've been back more than a few times and stand by my original review. Stick to pollos a la brasa and central american main courses for the food. The Mexican dishes are not really Mexican, they're not really tex-mex either they are more like what central americans think tex-mex should be if that makes sense. That being said the place does a good volume of food and everything I've ever had is hot and freshly made to order and service is friendly and attentive and there is a full bar. I live nearby so it's a great go to spot for me but like other reviewers have mentioned I would not make special trip to come here. read more

I don't review places very often on here but this place was the worst. I don't know how you could mess up a chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos, but this place did. There was barely any chicken in the quesadilla and my tacos were soggy and cod. The rice was hard and cold and incredibly salty. The chips were stale and the salsa was equivalent to Pace from the grocery store. In addition to the terrible food, the waitress was terrible. She handed us the food and that was the last we saw of her until we were done. Then, when we paid our bill she didn't bring us our change back, she assumed she could keep it for herself. I had to actually go back to find and her and tell her I wanted my change back. I suppose she thought she deserved that tip, absolutely not. Needless to say I will never return here. I recommend you go to Pollo-Mex down New Hampshire it is miles and miles better. read more

This is one of the worst food places ever, unfortunately around the area there's no other place. Food isn't well cooked, always late when you order to pick up, the music is like a bar not a family place that's for sure. The waitresses wear like... restrooms really dirty. Avoid this place!!! read more

The food at Pansa Llena is just ok. They don't offer anything special that 100 other places don't already have. The prices are way too high for the quality and the female servers seem to pay extra attention to their regular customers. Be prepared to order in Spanish since many of the girls barely speak English. Pansa Llena, you're welcome for the extra star! read more

Killer taco salad, amazing peruvian chicken, atomic salsa...what's not to like?

The wings and Peruvian Chicken is the best around in the dmv area. The service they provide is incredible and you won't be disappointed. Walk in less then 1 minute I have my chips and salsa with my draft beer. I would recommend this place to any body. read more

Food is terrible vegetables seemed to be cooked a day before. Food is overpriced and not good to even be at such a high price. Service is terrible by waitresses they are distracted easily and ignore customers. Not really a family restaurant. Don't recommend this place at all. On two occasions I was sitting at an area and was moved just to accommodate other customers. Not really respectful at all. read more

This restaurant has great, flavorful grilled fish dishes; such as salmon entree, salmon tacos, and red snapper.

Great food the Manger and cooks customer service is excellent I would had taken pictures of the food but I ate it

Poor service, mediocre food at a high price. We had a grumpy and impatient server who didn't acknowledge the fact that she misunderstood my order, and simply told me that is what I ordered as she walked away. Had the mole enchiladas and it was okay until parts of the chicken tasted not so fresh...as if it had been freezer burned or something. Mexican rice it came with was way dried out and brittle. read more

Decent food and above average service. Keep an eye on your bill. They will add gratuity and lump your drinks into one merchandise line item. Unheard of! Who does that? Make sure to get an itemized bill! read more

First off, the rice was undercooked. The waitress was entirely inattentive, didn't check on us once. When we asked for the check, she took ages to bring it and took so long to pick it up that we had to hand deliver it to her. She then ignored it and proceeded to have a conversation with another waitress for another 10 minutes. When she finally returned the bill, she had charged our party of 3 an automatic gratuity. Will not be returning. read more

I like this place. It is affordable food and it tastes good. I normally order the 1/2 chicken with yuka and black beans. I normally get it to go because I work down the street. If you eat there it is a nice small place to eat. They also have a full bar at the resturant. Its good food for your money read more

Food was flavorless. Salsa was watery. Skimpy on chips an meat in entrees. Won't return.

Food rating is def a 5 star: Love their Peruvian charbroiled chicken and yucca. Their fried pork is also delish and if hungry enough I'll get the enchilada de pollo also yummy! Happy hour is decent. I only get the margs which is always strong. The owner is super friendly and always tries to make sure everything is to my satisfaction. Normally I carry out. So I had to dock 2 stars because my dine in experience was subpar. I dined in 3xs to make sure the 1st time wasn't an outlier experience. The waitress I had the 1st time wasn't very attentive, had to ask several time for the basics (napkins,glass of water,check at the end). She never checked up on us unless we flagged her over. We counted and she walked past our empty drinks 4 times before I finally asked for our refill of water and more drinks. I normally always tip 15% but I'm not tipping you if the only thing you did right was give me the correct order so I gave her 5%. Yes I'm petty. 2nd time was decent but I saw the general attitude among the waitresses is to chat at the bar until you make eye contact. The 3rd time which is my last time dining in, the 1st waitress I had was there and although she wasn't my server, she brought my check and on the receipt she added a 15% tip lol. What was funny was that my actual server did a good job and I was going to tip her way more but the fact that they were all sitting at the bar giggling and looking over at my table definitely changed my mind. So after that mouthful - great carry out place, food is awesome, owner is great but I doubt I'll ever dine in again. read more

Ordered delivery from Pansa Llena yesterday through Grubhub and gave me the wrong order of nachos. I've ordered from here before and they did the exact same thing to me the last time. Called the restaurant and the lady I spoke to said she would look into it and would call me back as soon as possible after telling me that I probably ordered wrong. The order is very clear on grubhub and I even specified what I wanted in the special orders box. I never got a phone call back. The rest of my order was decent but I will probably never get food from here again after screwing up twice and not doing anything to make it right. read more

This place is nothing fancy, but it's really delicious. Their refried beans are incredible, they put every place else I've had them to shame (which probably means they are horrifyingly bad for you but that's a price I'm willing to pay). Great burritos (huge!) and enchiladas. Good margaritas as well. The place always seems to be empty, but it's clean enough and the service is good. read more

The place is dark and hot. The food is medicore at BEST! The service is not good. And worse of all they advertise on coupon websites to lure people in and then don't accept the coupons. I've been here three times hoping it will turn around. I won't be going back for a fourth. read more

4 star food, but 2 star prices .. paying nearly $20 for lomo saltado is unreasonable.

This food taste DISGUSTING. This is not the first time I have had a bad experience and when I contacted the manager, he told me to come back in and they would give me two different side orders. First, you GIVE soggy beyond SOGGY fries and expect someone to eat them. Second, my coleslaw tasted so fu.ckn bad I spit it out immediately!!!! The coleslaw was watery and had a odor like it wasnt fresh and a very acidy taste to it......if that tasted like sh.it, what would make the MOD think that I would even want 2 new side orders. I had those Black beans they serve, with no ounce of flavor or salt. The FOOD IS DISGUSTING. I WASTED MY MONEY AND DIDNT RECEIVE A DIME OF IT BACK. I AM IN UTTER SHOCK AT THE LACK OF EXPERIENCE THAT GOES INTO COOKING AT THIS RESTAURANT. MAYBE THEY NEED A NEW CHEF. BUT SOMETHING needs to change. read more

i would like to give a zero rating. this is clearly a "hole in the wall spot" with no concern for it's patrons! i did not receive the shrimp/crab chimichanga (i got shredded chicken), or the children's enchilada meal that comes with rice & beans, (i got a soft taco with green sauce on top) or the ginger soda, (i got a mist) that i ordered online!! the whole order was wrong and when i called the restaurant to tell them it was wrong i was told that i had to call back in an hour to speak to the manager named "flor" whom i was also told had delivered my incorrect order! meanwhile after waiting over an hour for this meal, i have nothing to eat for lunch because of their mistake of not checking the order before leaving the restaurant! i have been calling the restaurant for the past 2 hours asking to speak to the manager, after being told to do so, and have been repeatly hung up on when asked to speak to the manager or being sent straight to the fax machine. by the way, this place is still not taking my call, 4 hrs. later. what a shame. this was a $27.00 food order which included a tip before even receiving the food! they conveintently did not attach a receipt with the items. pictures show it all. there were no shrimp/crab in this crap chimichanga at all! again the children's enchilada (solo taco with green sauce) did not come with beans/rice as stated! and a mist is clearly not a ginger ale as i ordered! i will never order from this place or through the foodler service again as they did/would not reimburse me for this incorrect order. from the first response from them it was quite clear this matter would not be resolved on their end and i chose the wrong delivery service to have food delivered! both companies customer service needs immediate improvement! picture included. 1st response from foodler: hi, we contacted pansa llena and they advised that what you received was in fact the correct item. they said that it may look like shredded chicken due to the preparation but are positive you recieved the correct item. thank you! sincerely, luxx foodler support team 888-336-xxxx 2nd response.... hi, every rating improves your best bets, so please rate your order. you'll earn 10 quick points, too. was anything not to your liking? reply to this email and we'll do our best to make it right. thanks, foodler 3rd response... hi, i'm sorry again to hear about your order experience. the restaurant has declined authorization for a partial or full refund on your order. we cannot refund without their permission. if you would like to pursue the matter further, please contact the restaurant at (301) 592-xxxx. as a gesture of goodwill, i've deposited $5 in foodler bucks to your account, which you can use toward your next order with any restaurant. thank you for your patience and for choosing foodler. sincerely, triaxxx foodler support team 888-336-xxxx 4th response after i told them i will no longer use their service... hi, we are very sorry to hear that. if you decide to change your mind, please do not hesitate to be in touch. sincerely, triaxxx foodler support team 888-336-xxxx 5th and final response...(because clearly this company does not give a f*!) hi, i'm sorry for any frustration. we are unable to issue a refund and have credited 5 foodlerbucks to your account for the frustration. thank you for contacting us. sincerely, jusxxx foodler support team 888-336-xxxx read more

Pansa Llena - BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT ABOUT THIS INCORRECT ORDER. THEY HANG UP ON ME WHEN I ASK FOR THE MANAGER OR SEND ME TO THE FAX. BAD BUSINESS! - Mexican Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I live in Phoenix., but grew up here. Like in White Oak shopping center! First 2 jobs & first 2 serious girflriends at Sears. And now, 200 feet away, serious Mexican food. While Pres of Springbrook Spanish club, I wouldn't eat Mexican food on our outing. 35 years changes things. Mexican is very high on my list of where to eat...easy here in Phoenix. If Pansa Llena were here, it'd be top 5 easily. It was late--after 7--and the (I believe) owner was still there, and very attentive. I had the Mole Enchiladas filled with chicken, and they were insane! The rice was moist and flavorful. I wish I could go back and try some of the other dishes. Alas, today I put 2500 miles between us. Nest time...shrimp fajitas! Thanks again! read more

Just spent close to $30 bucks for a beef burritto and chix chimichanga the chimi looked like it had melted american cheese on top that was actually queso which surprisingly did taste like american cheese, and the burrito was covered on top with a bland red sauce and filled with giant quarter pieces of cooked tomato and very very nasty chunks of steak that was crunchy and grisly and by the time i got home which is less than a mile away the tortilla had turned to slime (it literally went to the trash.) Worst spanish food ever, trust me Im mexican american. The service was bad too, not the waitresses just the cook who took my order. My opinion the manager is to blame he was spending to much time wandering around and hanging out when he should be doing his job which is provide excellent service and the best quality food possible. read more

It's ok. The food is better than the service, which I can't say is a true compliment or not. Sad to say, but lower your expectations here. I've dined, picked-up and had delivery, and all three times, very long wait, and very poor customer service. The popular roasted chicken is the Superstar here...Outstanding! Well seasoned and absolutely delicious! But don't expect to be greeted, made eye contact with or even talked to clearly as you wait at the counter. (SN: which is super hot inside whether in winter or summer, sweaty hot lol). Pick-up can be quoted as over an hour, but inaccurate, as the food is ready well before then and is sitting waiting, getting cold if you stick to what Grubhub or Eat24 tells you. Don't try calling to check either, they never answer the phone. Delivery, forget about it lol You could go the the grocery store, find multiple recipes, watch videos for said recipes and cook your meal in less time. The mexican food is ok, but that 5 star chicken is sadly what keeps me coming back to be ignored and kept waiting. read more

THIS PLACE HAS MICE!! Yes, you read that right. MICE not rice! I popped in there to get a quick bite to eat. Ordered the soft tacos and was sitting at the table just across the bar area. Luckily I wasn't sitting up against thewall! I had my purse on the seat next to me, so had to look down to grab my Blackberry and saw a mouse scurry by. I didn't scream or make a huge scene, though looking back I probably should have! I immediately got up, and went to the cash register. I told the two waitresses that I saw a mouse. They still proceeded to ring me up for my meal. (despite the fact that I was polite about it and didn't cause a huge scene. Perhaps if I did cause a huge scene they would have given me my meal for free) What was more surprising to me was what the waitress said to me..."we exterminate here regularly. It's an old building so there is not much we can do about it." After getting my money they proceeded about business as normal despite me telling that they may want to seat their customers elsewhere so that the mouse wouldn't scurry along someone's feet. (and there were two ladies with flip flops on sitting behind me) Would recommend going there if you want mice with your fajitas instead of rice! read more
