    Flan
    Peter D.

    La Cosecha hosts plenty of solid businesses inside the market. I will say you can't go wrong with any of them, despite my 3 star rating for Peruvian Brothers. If it wasn't for the flan, I would've rated this place either 4 or 5 stars. I did enjoy my chicken sandwich and thought the ingredients were pretty refreshing to have. That being said, I thought the flan was off-putting (perhaps it was a one-time thing or maybe I have poor taste in flan). Now that I have tried the majority of shops indoors, I will probably get Peruvian Brothers on occasion. I'm intrigued by their entire menu and will have to give this place another try.

    Excellent beef empanadas. Fast service. La Cosecha is a lovely environment. Would love to try again soon!

    Half chicken dark with rice
    Myles Y.

    I stopped by Peruvian Brothers and unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the half chicken dark with Peruvian rice, and to be honest, both were very bland. The chicken was my biggest disappointment. I was expecting bold seasoning and flavor, but it just didn't deliver. It tasted plain and didn't really stand out in any way. The sauces helped a little and added some flavor, but even with that, it still didn't feel like enough to justify the price. The Peruvian rice was also pretty plain and didn't add much to the meal. For something that cost just under $20, I expected a lot more flavor and overall satisfaction. Based on this experience, I highly recommend not getting the chicken and rice here, especially if you're expecting strong, well-seasoned Peruvian flavors. Maybe other items on the menu taste better, but this particular combo was underwhelming to say the least.

    Fish Bowl

    I visited La Cochesa in the union market area for the first time last week, giving a visit to Peruvian Brothers. The fish bowl that I ordered provided a solid mix of protein, grains and vegetables, with a couple of sauces. The food filled me up and was a solid meal for about $20. The fish was slightly dry, so the sauce helped, but overall it was a well balanced meal. La Cochesa had a great ambiance with several food shops and seating to work or socialize.

    Yuca fries are SOOOOOO good!!! They need to include more dip though. But will definitely be back!

    Peruvian "Chicken and Waffles"
    Joshua K.

    I recently got Peruvian Brother's take on chicken and waffles for takeout and I enjoyed it. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and I loved the five sauces that came with the dish: an interesting-flavored syrup, butter, two spicy hot sauces, and a salsa verde of sorts. However, I felt the "waffles," which were kind of donut-like, were underwhelming and needed more flavor. I received my order on-time and it came hot with plastic utensils. I recommend Peruvian Brothers if you are in the area!

    Spinach & Cheese Empanada
    Kaya A.

    I love how the spinach & cheese empanada isn't shy with the filling. The price is a bit on the expensive side for the size, definitely meant to be a treat once in a while.

    Pan con Chicharron Sandwich
    Allie H.

    Tried the chicharron sandwhich. Pros: service was super fast and efficient so was great for on the go The sandwich itself wasn't amazing. It was kind of on the drier side and I was a little disappointed. I would definitely eat here again but would just try something else

    I stopped by for a chicken empanada, and was really disappointed. It's mostly breading, which was really dry and felt stale. The chicken was also super dry, and the flavor was relatively bland. The sauce it came with was a rather strange hot sauce, which tasted more like a BBQ sauce with a slight spice to it. Overall, really disappointing. Probably wouldn't recommend!

    I had a dark chicken leg which came with three sauces. The chicken was very tender and the sauces went well with the chicken.

    Hot sauce

    Peruvian brothers is a local chain in the DMV area stopped in at the La Cosecha location. This is inside a food hall in the union market area. We got an order of their chicken sandwich and a chorizo empanada. They have great hot sauces in fact I got an order of both of their bottles. They put their sweet and tangy hot sauce on their sandwich. Service was fast and the chicken sandwich and empanada were delicious. The chicken wasn't to dry and there was great flavor with their hot sauce. I would definitely come back to this spot.

    Fresh Chicha Morada and Inca Cola
    Otniel L.

    **Review of Drinks Only** I have to specify that this review is based on the drinks alone, I'll come back here and get several different dishes to do a comprehensive review. I had the Fresh Chicha Morada and Inca Cola. The lady behind the register tried to explain what the drink was and I still don't know, but it's very sweet! I like sweets as in dessert, but not a syrupy type of sweetness in drinks. The Inca Cola is even worse because that tastes like a chemical stew and I had a couple of sips, then tossed it. The food did look and smell amazing from afar looking at other customers selections. This location is in the union market area and I had previously picked other food choices. As I said, I'll come here for food next time and I'm sure I'll modify this restaurant to something better than a 2 star...or so I hope :-) -ODL Follow my IG: @AOEAT

    I haven't been here in awhile and forgot how amazing the food is at Amazonia! Loved everything…read moreordered! I ordered one hot and one cold dish. The Cebiche Clasico is exploding with flavor, I would order this time and time again. I also ordered the Patarashca which was the market fish. The fish was coooked perfectly and I enjoyed the red sauce. However, I didn't really care for the fried plantain and they seemed a bit out of place. The only negatives are the portion sizes are smaller than ideal and the server rarely came around. Overall, great restaurant and will be back!

Ceviche Nikkei, beef heart, filet and mushroom skewers and their scallops. Also got a couple of cocktails which became a Herculean task to get a straw from anyone. I scored after the third request. Yay? The ceviche was tuna and had so much sinew that after two pieces I gave up. The skewers came out and were so sauced up that you couldn't taste anything, and they were luke warm at best. Lastly, the scallops had so much Parmesan that that is all you taste. Let's just say that I couldn't stay after that, we paid and decided to go to a good restaurant, maybe McDonald's?

    This was my first time trying Peruvian food, and I had such a great time! We came during happy…read morehour, hoping to sit at the bar and enjoy the food menu, but unfortunately, the bar seats were full. We ended up sitting at a table and enjoyed a variety of dishes along with some happy hour drinks. The ambiance is clean, modern, and pretty cool. The service was fairly quick overall, and our food arrived fresh without much waiting. My first drink was the white sangria, which was well-balanced, moderately sweet, and refreshing. The wines we tried also had great flavor. The happy hour deals on the alcohol menu are especially generous, so I highly recommend taking advantage of them. The ceviche sampler included traditional, cremoso, and callejero. Each ceviche was unique and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the street-style ceviche, callejero. The tostones, or crispy fried plantains, were light and crunchy. My partner isn't a big fan of mayo-forward sauces, but he really enjoyed the crab salad topping because it paired well with the tostone. My favorite was the shrimp topping as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The conchitas a la parmesana was another interesting dish featuring seared scallops. They were grilled with a creamy Parmesan sauce and served with ciabatta. I found that the sauce was a little overpowering and took away from the scallop itself, but I really enjoyed eating it with the ciabatta. Lastly, we ordered two empanadas: one chicken and one made with a mix of sirloin and tenderloin. The dough was a little too oily for my taste, but it was thin and flaky. The chicken and beef fillings had slightly different seasonings and textures, and both were enjoyable. If I could add one thing, I wish our server had explained more about the menu or drinks when she asked whether it was our first time there. She also wasn't around the table consistently, which made it a little difficult to order additional drinks and dishes. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal, and I'm glad we came here. I'd love to come back for brunch or another happy hour!

    In 2018 I went to the DC location and wrote "I would like to see more hardy dishes for…read morevegetarians." In 2026 I visited the Bethesda location and there is still no vegetarian entree. Stopped in to check out the space right before closing and its huge inside, just keep in mind they close at 10:00 PM on weeknights, though they do offer a daily happy hour from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The Passion Pisco Sour was absolute perfection, and the Chicha Morada was very good. For food, the Yuca à la Huancaína needed salt and the sauce that was a bit too thick. The cold Burrata con Quinoa was okay, but surprisingly, it's still the only vegetarian dish on the entire menu. They really should add a green vegetable icon next to vegetarian items to make them easy to spot. For dessert, they offer lucuma ice cream, tres leches cake, and alfajores cookies. Great spot for drinks and atmosphere, but the menu could use a few tweaks.
