Quarter chicken with Primavera Rice
Seanniece B.

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.

Family Meal
James M.

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.

Steak Bowl
Nicole O.

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.

Seasonal menu
Margeaux D.

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.

Chicken Empanada
Maria G.

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.

Alfajor Cookie
Tawanna M.

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.

Their happy hour is SUPER good!
Cyndi A.

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!!!

Steak Bowl
Tiffany W.

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.

Menu on wall

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.

Lomo Saltado
Tony T.

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.

Ceviche, Chicha morada  Fresh Chicha Morada
Erin W.

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.

Picarones
John T.

We came here for a quick dinner while staying at a nearby hotel. Great food! We got the power bowl and chicken bowl with the picaronnes dessert. The bowls were fresh and tasty, with food portions. Service was quick and efficient. The ambiance was what you'd expect for a fast casual place. Would come back!

Austin G.

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.

The parking lot is on the smaller side, but there's plenty of street parking nearby. There are a few tables to sit at inside, but it also works really well for takeout. I've tried a few flavors and, in my opinion, there are no bad ones. My personal favorite is the chili chicken because it's flavorful and actually spicy, not just a hint of it. I would also recommend the Philly and chicken pesto for more obvious/predictable flavor profiles. Their horchata is good too; it's very creamy, and the cinnamon flavor is strong. I've had it on its own and as part of the latte, and would recommend both!

I ordered the chicken enchiladas, a meat pie and a side of refried beans; hubby got two pupusas - bean/cheese and pork/bean. We also got refrescas, I got the melon/pina and he got tamarindo. The melon one was delish, mostly canteloupe flavor. The tamarindo was a little tart for me but still good. Important to know (and I did) but enchiladas at a Salvadoran place are not the same as Mexican or Tex-Mex enchiladas; they're what Mexican cuisines would call tostadas. Chicken, cabbage, cheese, a tomato slice, and a slice of hard boiled egg on a deep fried corn tortilla. These were delicious and the favorite part of my meal. I was worried that pickled cabbage would over power the other flavors but it didn't. They were great. The refried beans were so-so, I probably would skip them next time and the side portion is tiny. The meat pie was great though, I would get that again too. I had a bite of one of my husband's pupusas and it was good but I liked my enchiladas better. The prices here are extremely inexpensive. Our whole dinner was like $20 plus tax/tip I think. That's almost unheard of. The main issue is that they brought my food out very fast and then another 20 minutes til my husband got his. They could work a bit on timing orders a bit better. I shared, fear not, but orders should come out together. It's not a huge deal but an area for improvement.

Experience at Cafe Sazon: I had been to Cafe Sazon twice, 2014 & 2021. Friday, January 24, 2014 was a 1st date. She was from Columbia (no not the country, but the one in Maryland), and we had a pretty nice time. Food was solid here. Various South American foods. I got empanada and some rice platter with a meat. Overall, I was pretty impressed with the food. The staff was cordial enough but not great. The seating is various cafe style seating. Sad side note, the very next day there was a shooting at Columbia Mall; my date was from Columbia. This was ominous considering I just had date with her. Incidentally, a 2nd date never happened. My 2nd experience here by amazing coincidence was on Tuesday, August 31, 2021. My friend was taking me to DCA airport for a vacation to Chicago & Wisconsin. I treated her to Cafe Sazon for taking me to the airport as it was good option more or less on the way to the airport. I got some carne asada, potato, egg, & plantains. All were very good. My friend was impressed. They were a little slow as I remember we had some time but still I did need to catch my flight. If I was back over here, I'd consider enjoying their great food again.

Three Whistles Coffee Shop…read more This coffee shop just reminded me why I fell in love with coffee in the first place. I had my first cup of "Joe" as a teenager while enjoying a nice family breakfast in downtown DC. I recall my Pops saying, "Leave room for coffee in that cup of sugar!" Back then, I thought, wow... that was funny. I later learned that it was hacky, a commonly used joke for heavy sugar users. Nevertheless, the taste felt electrifying. I don't recall the brand. It was definitely either Maxwell House or Folgers, but... whatever it was, it was delicious. Over the years, I began to dabble with different brands, different brews and different coffee formulas until I discovered Starbucks. It was the mid-90s when I had my first... wait for it... wait for it... "Caramel Macchiato" or Hot Heaven in a Cup, as I best can describe it. Seemingly every day for 25-plus years, I would gladly offer Starbucks a small percentage of my salary to enjoy another cup of Hot Heaven. But something happened along the way. In the early years, Starbucks was premium. They gave tremendous regard to how each cup was crafted. However, as is often the case in life, as time went on, the care and craftsmanship began to wane. It wasn't an overnight decline. It was more insidious than that. I knew something was off, but again, like many things, I continued to blindly pour into it, hoping for a rebirth, chasing that cup that tasted like the first time... Well today that happened. Not at Starbucks. I stumbled across that rebirth at Three Whistles Coffee Shop, a lovely, community-style coffee shop located on Wilson Boulevard in Arlington. I requested my order exactly as I like it, a variation to the original recipe, one that I cultivated through 25 years of trial and error. The gentleman listened closely while maintaining a courteous conversation. I watched him prepare my order when I realized, he wasn't just going through the motions, as I've grown use to experiencing at that other shop. Something felt different, yet vaguely familiar, that seemingly dated attention to craftsmanship... a precise pour into a tilted cup to create that wonderful creamy blend. And then, just when I thought his attention to detail had reached its end, he topped-off my foam with a decorative design, all while maintaining his place in our conversation. Then came the moment of truth. I took my first sip, and instantly... I'm reminded of that pearly-gates-in-a-cup feeling. The rebirth. What a caramel macchiato tastes like without stockholders' influence. Without corporate meetings. Without commercials. Without a glitchy App. Without shelves of $25 merch. Just a cup of heaven made in a community-centric shop by a barista who prefers to go by his own name, not logos on an apron. Recommendation level: Go immediately if you want a great cup of Joe. But I should warn you... After Three Whistles coffee, Starbucks may never taste quite like coffee again.
