Nice location, parking could be crazy, we lucked out with spot right down the street. We met some visiting friends and decided to dine outside (beautiful afternoon). All the Staff was super and checked on us constantly, never felt abandoned outside (we were only ones). We went with Family meal and a side order of Pupusas (2 for $10). Your choice of spinach/cheese, beef or chicken. We stuck with water to drink. The chicken was delicious, we have our favorite in Alexandria, but this chicken was very good. The sides were good, fries, yucca and rice. The sauces complemented everything (green & white). We asked for ketchup, they did provide some packets (perfer an actuall ketchup bottle when dining in). The Papusas were not a big hit with the table. Overall, a good option if in the area. Especially for the price which was way better than expected for area. read more

The calamari stood out, probably the best thing we ordered. The Peruvian chicken was solid, and the alfajores were a highlight. But the shrimp saltado was forgettable, and the chicha morada was a letdown -- mostly ice, barely any flavor. It tasted like purple-tinted water, not the real thing. I bought two empanadas to bring home to my mother and asked specifically for two chicken. The employee at the register was friendly, but kept nudging me toward one beef, one chicken. I said no. I explained my mother doesn't eat beef. She bit into one at home and stopped. It was beef. There was no way to know from the outside. I understand that mistakes can happen, but it was disappointing to receive the wrong empanada after I had specifically explained that my mother does not eat beef. What made the situation even more concerning was that the beef did not seem fresh. In addition, while the empanada looked properly baked and golden on the outside, the dough inside was still undercooked. Unfortunately, this experience changed my overall impression of the restaurant. read more

My fault and their fault. I thought it would be a nice time to hit HH and see their Alpaca. Even got there early. Everyone was saving what little table space there was for other people. A jacket over here, a purse over there and the person they belonged to sitting in another spot. Unknowing how small the place was and nowhere to even stand and eat. I called it a loss. I will say that their menu looked very nice but it does me no good to like it if there is nowhere to enjoy it. I hopped to the restaurant next door who had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food was fine. It was amusing to see just how many filtered in from next door. Will I come back? Doubtful. They seem to have more customers than they can handle. read more

If the food was good and the portion sizes were average, I would not bring up the cost. But since it was really bad, it was not worth it and incredibly expensive. When I saw baked empanadas on their menu I told my family let's try it. $6 for a large empanada.. not bad if it's good but this was tasteless and very dry. The actual dough or pastry or whatever you call it was not even nice. It was a huge waste of time. My rice was reheated old rice for my dish and the meat in the sandwiches is sliced and dry too. In summary not a good choice for me or my family and none of even finished our meals which was a huge waste. I learned they had a food truck before and maybe that was a better experience but the restaurant was very disappointing. read more

Peruvian Brothers - Menu - Peruvian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Peruvian Brothers is a fast casual restaurant serving high quality Peruvian food. I am obsessed with their steak bowl! The ingredients are fresh and high quality and the meal is absolutely delicious. It can take awhile to receive my order at times, but it's a small price to pay for a quality meal. They also serve brunch and have happy hour specials, and they even bring in real llamas on Thursdays. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and/or craving fresh Peruvian food. read more

Shout out to the bartender/our waiter. Suuper nice. Very attentive. I got the quarter chicken with rice. Amazing. The seasoning on the rice was great. I also got the Maracuya juice which was passion fruit juice and it was really good. It was like a aqua Fresca so it wasn't very strong. It had more of a muted flavor. read more

So far, without the food, I am just stunned that their is empanadas for $6. $6, there must be a song and dance because whattttttt. Now with the food, NOT WORTH THE 6 DOLLARS-- the chicken is dry, overly dry, and it tastes like the chicken that should be in chicken noodle soup, may be because its the evening but still there are standards. The people seem nice, the ambiance is nice but idk the prices just threw me. read more

Stopped in for a drink because it was across from where I was staying. It is a cute little place where it seems to be a fast food meets sit down hybrid (have to wait to be seated). You can go right up to the bar and order though. It was a later evening and quiet which good with me! They have really cute wall decors and ceiling to floor of live plants which were getting pruned while we were there. We sat at the bar and had a quick drink. He got the espresso martini (they were out of the vanilla which is fine, we love a good classic espresso martini). I got the blueberry lavender margarita. I don't usually do margaritas but it was so good. Sweet and tangy, and super pretty, finished with a fried lime and lavender sprig! His espresso martini was really pretty and tasty too, with a really nice strong coffee smell and flavor almost cold brew style strength. The foam and cinnamon was a delight. read more

No bueno. I ordered takeout/pickup ceviche for $25 and it was not worth it. It did not taste like it was marinated properly and I had to use their hot sauce to flavor it. read more

This place was down the street from my hotel, so I needed a quick bite. I saw there was plenty of people inside for lunch, so figured I go and try it out. You go to the register to order and go find a seat. They will bring you your food. After you're done, you just leave your plate and etc and they will clean it up. So it's like a semi full service restaurant? I got the power bowl and substitute the quinoa for the rice. The food was not greasy and had good flavor. The grilled chicken was cooked well and had a yummy sauce to go with it. I also tried the baked empanada and that was very good too. The sauce that came with it was equally yummy but a little too spicy for me! This is a great place for a healthy option meal. read more

I had the chicken power bowl, which was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was wonderfully chill, and the service provided by Carlos was exceptional - as always! We visit at least once a week and are consistently impressed by the freshness of their food selection. I highly recommend trying their empanadas and sandwiches, all of which are extremely delicious. Oh and their happy hour is the BEST!!! read more

I came here on a whim and they did not disappoint. My wait time for my food was about 30 minutes, I think that's because it was getting busy around the time that I ordered, but also I ordered a dessert that was made ready to order. My dinner consisted of a sandwich called the triple. It is sandwich with three slices of bread, avocado, tomato, eggs and light mayo. It was perfection, I am healed the first half and made sure to slow down to eat the second half of my sandwich. I tried out multiple sauces. They have a sweet smoky one, which was my favorite, next the aïoli would be my second favorite, and lastly, the cilantro. For dessert I ordered picarones which is the most heavenly donut I've ever tasted. You can taste the pumpkin, it comes with a syrup you can dip it in that has cinnamon and star anise (I'm not a fan of star niece as a flavor, but however, they do it, it made me love the syrup ) it is chewy. It is a little bit crisp on the outside. It is heaven, and I recommend eating it while it's hot.I received four of those. Will I go back, absolutely, absolutely hands-down I will go to this restaurant again before I leave lastly, I ordered an alfajor cookie. It was not overly sweet and it crumbles in your mouth. 10 out of 10. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats. I got the steak bowl (minus the hard boiled egg, and sauces and salsas on the side). The food was good and had great flavor but there just wasn't enough of it in my opinion. There could have been more sweet potatoes for sure. Especially for the price point. read more

I came in for dinner and was politely greeted. The guy helped me decide which Lomo Saltado to order. I went for the more basic one. You order up front and then sit wherever you want and they bring you the food. I got Passion Fruit juice also, which was very good. The entree was good, the rice and fries soaked up the beef jus which makes them much more flavorful. The menu claims this is beef tenderloin, but it didn't seem as tender as I was expecting. Overall the flavors were good and the portion was enough to fill me up. I would return and try the ceviche. read more

What a great place to eat! I have had lunch and dinner there now. The chicken power bowl is really good, a nice mix of ingredients. The place is clean and well lit. This area doesn't have a ton of options, so this place is a real find. read more

4.5+ Warm greeting and smooth vibes set by the music playing. I opted for the ceviche ($20) and my husband got the quarter chicken, white ($8) with plantains ($5). The ceviche was a large portion of fish, thinly sliced red onions, with sweet potato and two types of corn. Perfect for a warm day but I loved it even in tonight's freezing temperatures. My husband said the chicken was flavorful and he loved their house sweet and smoky hot sauce. The sweet plantains tamped down the heat a bit. The chicken is a bit pricey compared to Sardi's but a nice local spot for dinner and drinks. read more

cute place, centrally located however, The food here was a letdown. The beef empanada lacked seasoning. The rice and chicken were both bland. I'm not sure if I'm used to the charbroiled Peruvian style chicken that usually has extra seasonings, but this didn't come close. At $30 for a quarter chicken, two sides, and not meeting expectations is disappointing. The lack of flavor was especially disappointing given the price. I expect I've found better options for a third of the price. I won't be returning. read more

If you love empanadas, Peruvian Brothers does them right. My seven-year-old daughter and I LOVED their beef ones. They sprinkle a little powder sugar on top and give you a delicious dipping sauce. So good! My wife loves their seasonal soups, especially on a cold day. The space at this location is large with plenty of seating. Order on the screen or at the register. Your food is ready within minutes. read more

File this one under "never as good as you remember". We used to visit Peruvian Bros pretty often when we lived in Pentagon City. We really enjoyed it, felt it was healthy and tasty. After G visiting today, I'm not rushing to return. First, we couldn't order at the kiosk, and were seated to order from wait staff. (Should have realized at that point that significant changes were underfoot.) We ordered and were asked if we wanted white rice or primavera rice. We ordered white rice and got primavera. The steak bowl was also a disappointment. The portions are significantly smaller. (To pay waitstaff maybe...?) Also - the quality of the meal was also lacking. The steak was tough, but also nearly raw - not the tender nuggets from before. All in all, not likely to be back when there are so many other options in the area. Music was very loud - so might be a decent place to bring kids. read more

Relatively good food and courteous staff. I do like that it's close enough to walk to because parking can be a challenge. It's paid street parking, if you can find a spot. Prices are ok but I think cater to the area. The setting is nice, with a casual but comfortable feel to it. Great for hanging out with friends. I think some food is better than others so you'll have to find your favorites. My wife and I decided to split two sandwiches for different experiences. I found the chicharron ok but very average, while the chorizo was better. We also capped our meals with a chicha morada and something else (sorry; name escapes me). They were ok but didn't "wow" me. read more

Walked in for something quick to stall time before my travel up to Fairfax. I'd like to start by saying The ambiance and customer service are awesome. Top tier. Clean restaurant, quiet enough to not be annoyed but loud enough to not have your conversations merge with other customers. The food was meh. I've eaten at many Peruvian restaurants and the vibrance and aroma wasn't there. I settled for wings and fries because ... how do you go wrong there right. Wings 5/10 were crispy on outside but chewy and hard to bite through. No flavor at all I ended up using salt and pepper on me. The hot sauces were very different not appropriate for the food selection but they didn't have any regular hot sauce so I had to deal. Was served with a blue cheese dipping sauce with very overwhelming sized blue cheese chunks. Fries 6/10 Crispy but tasted like grilled chicken patty which I'm not sure was done on purpose or if the grease they were fried in was old. read more

Peruvian chicken is something that I don't think anyone has been able to imitate and Peruvian brothers continues to excel in the quality of their food. Chicken bowl and beef empanadas were AMAZING!

Peruvian Brothers is not a hotel-only restaurant. They are a fastish-food place, a bit of a chain, a bit modern, so I'm not convinced they're fully authentic. But I enjoyed the meal experience overall. We went up to order and there is a digital kiosk. As my friend was entering his order, one of the employees said I could place my order directly with him. Perfect! All set with my chicken saltado, asked about the option for noodles but that would have replaced the potatoes and rice and I didn't want to do that. Before my dinner came out, another guy came over to me to explain they were out of white rice. Is yellow rice okay? Pro tip: Ask for yellow rice instead of rice. It's excellent, with veggies mixed in. Phenomenal with the spicy sauce, or if you're not a spice hound, the green sauce. Upon going back up to the counter to pick up my food (called by name if you order in the kiosk, buzzed if you order in person: Meat was good. Maybe a little light on chicken, but a satisfying meal overall. You see my friend got gigantic empanadas, but you pay more than other places for that bigger size. As for the taste, I'm not sure. The crust is good, not perfect, but the little bits of meat I tried seemed a bit sweet and light on fragrant herbs and spices. I didn't have a full empanada myself so I can't confirm, but the beef seemed better than the chicken and he agreed. The ceviche looked really good, comes with corn kernels of both huge and crisp varieties (that and a bit of the sauce is all I tried). So it goes back to - how Peruvian is this? How much do you want a sit-down meal vs. a counter order? Do you want a dark ambiance or a bright modern one? For now, and with my friend's repeated enjoyment, I will award a solid 4 stars and see if that changes should we return. read more

Checked out this spot from la cosecha. I don't know if i was hungry but everything was so so so good, except the chicken empanadas. Chicken empanadas was a bit dry so utilized the sauce that they gave you. The chicken was JUICYYYY and delicious, soft and moist. Can't get better chicken! The plantains was crispy and sweet and the yucca was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I would 100% come here again. Parking is hard to find but once you find it , go to la cosecha and walk straight in and you'll see the llamas in the back! I do think the portion for the yucca was such a small portion but it was good so it's okay :)) read more

Grabbed lunch from Peruvian Brothers and got the Lomo a lo Pobre Saltado and it was really good. The filet mignon was super tender and juicy, and adding the egg and sweet plantains really took it to the next level. Loved the mix of savory and sweet. The fries weren't too salty this time, though they can be hit or miss. Still, they soak up all the sauce and make the dish very satisfying. Fast service, great flavor, and super convenient if you're nearby. You need to ask for water but they give it to you. The atmosphere is more talkative than quiet, so definitely come with a friend. read more

I've eaten here about 3-4 times now and they're fairly good. It's one of the only Peruvian spots in walking distance without catch the metro or driving within the Pentagon City area. I usually get the half chicken or the chicken bowl. The arrive is fairly quick. They do their jobs and that's about it lol. The prices are okay fairly expensive for Peruvian chicken and the food doesn't come with sides like most places. Everything is a la carte. The ambiance is actually nice fairly casual read more

This place is good but not great. The chicken was not super moist and our empanada was okay.

Went a couple times while in the area. Food and service were excellent. The Lomo tasted very authentic. 5 stars on everything except the yuca and French fries, both seemed to from a frozen bag. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Would recommend and would eat there again. read more

Can't get over how great the quinoa and chicken bowl was! This is definitely a repeat decision if I find myself in crystal city area. There will be restaurants around it with 2 hour waits but I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with stopping here. They have dedicated indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and debatably most importantly, extremely kind staff who have their hearts in this restaurant. Yum, yum, and yum! read more

Pretty solid Peruvian food. The highlights for me were the lomo saltado (very tasty) and the plantains. I'd avoid the empanadas; the chicken ones we got during happy hour were quite dry. We really enjoyed our drinks; especially the pisco sour slushie! They have a screen you can order on, although it didn't work when we were there, or you can order at the counter. There's a decent amount of seating inside, and just a few tables outside. It can get packed at busy times. Bonus: The alpaca happy hours in May were super cute-- hoping for more of those! read more

I'm currently staying in Arlington for work and P Bros is across the street from the hotel i am staying at and im starting to lose count how times i have eaten here. Every time i come i get the same level of service and i have been trying different menu items and this time around i got the filet mignon saltados. I got mine served with rice and for a slight up charge you can have it served with a runny sunny side up egg and fried plantains. You have the option to also get it with noodles if you prefer. When i tell you this dish packs and incredible flavor punch, and the juices from the steak and how will it mixes with the rices and the stir fried vegetables is something you have to try for your self! There are also French fries mixed in there and even with everything else going on in the dish they stay remain crispy and so flavorful. read more

Another new restaurant finally opened in Amazon HQ2 and this is a great add. I ordered the Chicharron ($12), which consists of pork tenderloin and sweet potato with salsa criolla. There's one other spot I think that makes better Chicharron, but this suffices. I also ordered a Chicken Empanada ($6.50). These I highly recommend because they're baked, not fried. I am highly impressed with how these taste and would favor this over any empanadas that are fried. Not a clue what the sauce they provided on both of my order, but it's fire. I'd pour that stuff everywhere. read more

I've come here multiple times since it has opened and I have never had a bad meal here. The chicken is perfectly cooked and seasoned every time. The atmosphere is wonderful. The employees are always there to please and they do a great job recommending plates and drinks to you. It's definitely a place to sit down at instead of ordering to-go. I love eating at the bar and getting to talk to the bartenders who are always so sweet. I go here almost weekly. If you want a Nandos alternative that's better, it's this place. read more

This food is bomb idc idc idc. My boyfriend and I both got the Chicken Saltado after I begged to try this place after seeing it on my walks. The restaurant decor isn't anything to write home about--pretty standard for the neighborhood. The menu is simple, the price is reasonable, and I love that I got a crazy number of sauces to try (without knowing the names of any of them). There's an aioli/mayo that went really well with the potatos, and honestly the whole bowl is carb heaven. It's a touch spicy but mostly flavorful. My only critique is that we waited quite a while for the food but since it came hot and tasty I let it slide. read more

I was looking forward to trying them at the pentagon city location. While overall, I had a good experience and staff were friendly when we were trying to understand the menu, I did think for the fast casual food style and amount of food, $18 per dish and $6/ juice was on the expensive side. I didn't try the chicken but the fish was on the dry side. I did enjoy the fresh avocados thought read more
