Very fresh and perfect amount of seasoning! Very generous potions. Would highly recommend.

Reviewed June 2015, all I can say is wow, compared to the other 2 reviewers I actually had a really pleasant experience. Everyone I came in contact with offered a smile. I ordered the fish tacos (3 in the meal) and the shrimp tacos (also 3 in the meal) to split with my family and I was overall very happy with the tacos from both meals. This is a cafeteria style take out restaurant that also has a short order menu. Whatever is not prepared on the front line can be ordered and generally comes up within about 7-10 minutes of being ordered which is about what you would expect for a short order take out / dine in. The person who took my order spoke clear english as did the cashier who processed my payment. So again my experience varies wildly from the other two posters. I guess my only negative mark would be that they stereo sitting on top of the cooler was trying woefully hard to fill the restaurant with music. It was borderline loud. I liked the music selection so it wasn't offensive but I think they need a few more speakers spread out over the restaurant they could probably lower the overall volume to something a little more conversation worthy if you decided you actually wanted to eat in the restaurant. Again not really a complaint more of an observation. This place is definitely on my radar for new and up and coming restaurants in the Kettering / Mitchellville area. I was a little surprised that they didn't have a line stretching to the door. I am going to work my way through the menu and update my review after a few more trips, but with the exception of the music i had an overall positive experience with the staff and my meal. Compared with the dearth of food options in the area. I hope they stick around for a while. I didn't even know this place was there. Maybe its the reason why the line wasn't out the door. The prices are decent per meal and the portions are a good value in my humble opinion. I have been to other restaurants that are much higher rated and had celebrity chef endorsement that didn't have food this good. read more

Went to Watkins Park for the first time and left to eat. We tried this restaurant as an alternative to fast food and it was great!! I got Bistec al Pobre which was skirt steak with rice, French fries, and asked to substitute the fried plantains with corn on the cob. It was a very generous portion. My kids got the chicken rice bowl which was perfect. White meat chicken, rice, beans, and they helped me with my fries. My husband got a burrito which he devoured. I would definitely come back again. read more

I love their shrimp bowl and half chicken. The yucca fries and fried rice are amazing as well. Good plantains. Just all around good food, one of our favorite lunch spots here at Lake Arbor Towers. Will be going back again and again! read more

This place is very quaint and has very good customer service. The chicken is very flavorful, rice is superb and the vegetables are well seasoned. This is my go to place when I want to eat healthy. I don't mind spending my money when you get what you pay for. If you're in the area, give this place a try,you wont be disappointed read more

I was once a fan of this place. I've been here at least twice a month for the past year. But as they say, it only takes one bad experience... Today was that day for me. The lady behind the counter was rude and border line disrespectful. As I was short on time and didn't want to continue to deal with her, I left. However I called back to the restaurant to speak with the manager and found that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Now I understand why the server felt entitled to be non caring and disrespectful. The manager was her example for customer service. To top it off he even refused to identify himself by name when asked and nor was he willing to give me the name of the district manager before hanging up on me twice. Never again will I enter this establishment. When you operate a business that doesn't care about customer concerns, then you don't need customers! read more

My first time ordering there but the food never made it to my house. Grubhub messed up and I was told that I will get a refund. I definitely don't recommend delivery for this restaurant. read more

This restaurant is very similar to Lima's Chicken in Bowie. Their chicken is good if you get it fresh. However, these people will not hesitate to sell you old chicken that was off the grill for many hours and is no longer good. I find this unacceptable, since their rotisserie chicken costs almost 3 times as much as a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. Your best bet is to come around noon and you are getting fresh good chicken. If you come in after 5, your chicken may be 5-6 hours old (they are not busy during the Covid pandemic). read more

Awesome Peruvian chicken at a very reasonable price. I just happened on this place, but I will definitely be back. The chicken was perfect. I had the plantains and pinto beans. The plantains were about the best I have ever had - soft on the inside and a slightly crispy exterior. I dip them in the various sauces just for an extra kick. The pinto beans were just spicy enough. read more

Lamb chops were flavorful but I've never seen so small ‍. I suppose We shouldn't expect total satisfaction for Our money

Best shrimp burrito ever! Lamb is great with veggies & rice.. definitely want to try something different every time I go. Inexpensive but great quality food read more

Best Peruvian food around! My family loves eating here once a week. Their fried rice must have crack in it because it is so addictive. read more

Peru's Chicken - Best Peruvian food around! Friendly staff. Their rice must have crack in it because it's so addictive. The spicy green sauce OMG!!!! - Peruvian Near Me - Mitchellville, Maryland

The best chicken, we go there regularly. Its just delicious and affordable, simply put.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing the reviews although I heard from one person that my regular spot Sardi's was much better. I should have listened to my friend. The chicken was soooo dry and had as much flavor as cardboard. The rice had no flavor either. The green beans were edible. I had to throw 95% of the meal away. It was that bad. 1 star because the prices are lower but I guess you get what you pay for. Will never come back here and will be returning to Sardi's which is less than 10 min away. read more

Excellent lamb chops! Also enjoy the sides (rice & pinto beans and plantains). The sauces are good too. This is the only place I know of that have such delicious lamb chops. read more

Everything I go here it's always a great experience. The food is amazing. I always get 1/4 dark with mixed vegetables and potatoes. Everything is seasoned just right. Service is very quick as well. read more

Solid place to get peruvian chicken in the area. IDK why MD has such an obsession for peruvian chicken but there are so many to choose from! Their chicken is pretty flavorful and not dry at all. Admittedly we frequent this spot quite often. The sides are ok but our favorites are the fried rice and cilantro rice. read more

Huge portions Quick service Great prices This is a go-to spot for a quick meal, especially for a group. The chicken is always perfect, and the range of sides offers something for whatever mood you're in. Expect to have leftovers. read more

plain and simple it's good and cheap. It's the local Peruvian shop. It's a little cheaper than the Sardis in Bowie.

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place but after one visit I believe I will become a regular. Just reading previous reviews before going just left me wanting to see if it was true, yes the rest room is very clean, the overall set up on the restaurant is cool. Next time I will def dine in. Now for the good stuff, with my eyes on the Lomo Saltado, (which I got ) after seeing reviews of course. At first the price & the fact I really wanted shrimp turned me away. Also, the fries being at the bottom of the steak, I was definitely hesitant. But needless to say I got it anyways but I did get the fries on the side lol. The fries were a perfect crisp just ask I asked (fried hard) not sure if they are this way regularly but I insisted on requesting everywhere I go. The actual Lomo Saltado was amazing the flavor was crazy didn't need anything else but rice . But I did put the yellow sauce on it because I use it for everything, it's that good. I actually mixed the other half of my fries into the box to see what they actual hype was about , if I had got my order as is, and I will say this next time I will leave it as is, that combination was Awesome. I will def be back & become a regular as there are several other dishes I would like to try, my buddy recommend the shrimp burrito! read more

This was my 1st experience with this type of chicken and I really enjoyed the skin. However, I did find that some of the chicken was dry, which was disappointing. I had a side of potatoes and green beans which I thought were very good. The green sauce is amazing, spicy but flavorful. I liked the yellow too. I will be back since it is so close by. read more

I can't say enough about this place. Never a disappointment. Their lamb chops are delicious. The chicken is always perfectly cooked!

So I just ate here for the first time. the pitfall is I went to the ladies room and they must have just mopped the floor. There wasn't a sign anywhere to indicate this. As I opened the door and stepped in, my sneakered feet slid out from underneath me and I hit the floor hard. I'm over 50. I had to actually put tissues under my feet to get off the floor. When the counter people were told, they didn't even ask if I was alright or have any reaction at all. Had the nerve to thank us as we left though. I won't go back there. If I could give no stars I would. I believe lack of compassion or concern of any type doesn't deserve my business. read more

Awesome place. We were excited to see a Peruvian chicken spot come to our community and have been fans every since. Great food; great service and hearty portions. No complaints at all. read more

Service is progressing, slowly but surely. Ordered their shrimp the other day and fell in love. Their mixed grill is a great dish, just which they would allow substitutions or selections. It's close to work so I continue to give it a try... read more

My family recently tried this place for the first time and it was very good. The chicken is well seasoned and flavorful. For our sides we chose green beans, fried rice, and the potato and carrots dish. The potato and carrot side took us by surprise. Different style with a mild vinegar flavor that was great. We will definitely buy food from here again. read more

I love Peruvian chicken, this is maybe the fourth slot I've tried in all my years here in MD, and I must say they've trumped my #1 spot out in Wheaton..... haven't been back there since stepping foot in Peru and I've been going there faithfully for 15yrs. The chicken here at Peru although smaller than the competition is very tasty. I ventured out and tried their Lamb Chops, also very tasty. I can't get enough if their green and yellow sauces (I mix them) to dip my French Fries in and sometimes my chicken. I was out in Mo. Co. last month and figured I'd check out my old spot and it's clear they've been knocked out still down for the count. Check out Peru, this place makes me eat oats of the chicken I never thought eating. read more

After me and my daughter was served, I witnessed the gentleman that was cutting the chicken had the audacity to spit on The Chopping board tried to clean the cutting knife but he was already caught shame on the restaurant and the manager. read more

Love it. Half dark chicken with double side of pinto beans for me. The wife loves the chicken tacos with no onions and French fries. The place is like a magnet. Doesn't matter if I'm getting a haircut or going to Popeye's. Got to patronize this establishment. Aroma is irresistible. read more

I was visiting my son who lives in the area and always wanted to try this out. I bought the 1/2 chicken, cilantro rice, black beans and green beans. It was all so delicious, nicely seasoned, and the chicken was moist. I will say the workers are not the most welcoming but I can get beyond that. It's a must try if you're in the area. read more

This was my first time at Peru's Chicken and I did not know what to expect. I heard they were good so I tried them today and I must say that it was pretty good. Looking at their menu, I will be back to try some of their other offerings. I have never had the sauces with the chicken and I thought they were pretty awesome. For the amount of fun given the price was pretty reasonable which is even more reason for me to come back and try something else. read more

First time here last night. Food's not bad. Ordered a 1/4 chicken dark. Needed to be cooked a little longer. Little pink/red at the leg/thigh split. Would have given 3 stars but since a little undercooked, only get 2. read more

By far this is one of the best Peruvian Chickens that I've had. The service and everything was truly fantastic! If you haven't checked this place out make sure that you do because it is a smash hit in my books and trust me when I say that I am picky with my chicken! Go on, stop reading this and go try their chicken! Go enjoy it! read more

I was in the shopping center and wanted to try something a little different. I went to this place and was a bit disappointed. I do not eat out too often for the very reason that I was not pleased with this place. When is it acceptable or even palatable to serve cold french fries. The heat lamp does not accentuate the taste. My food was at best room temperature and I was not pleased. I had driven too far away to return to complain. read more
