I'm a regular at the food trucks in Farragut and metro center, and this is one of the better ones I've been to. Had the pan con chicharron, which was very tasty. Highly recommend getting it with the sweet and spicy pineapple sauce. Prices are reasonable, spent $9 on sandwich and soda, and I wanna come back and try their empanadas. Definitely worth checking out, as it's yummy and different. read more

I was actually really impressed with my sandwich from here. I ordered the pan con pollo and it was really enjoyable. It fell apart quite easily but that only marginally ruined the experience. All of the ingredients were pretty standard and the chicken was quite good but what really made this sandwich work was the sauces. The original medium sauce I had on gave it a very authentic taste. Then, when I added the spicy sauce, it got even better. Definitely get the spicy sauce with your meal. It didn't have too much heat to it but boy was it good. read more

This place is the real deal. I ordered the Asado with out Caramelized onions and it was real good. Its such a simple sandwich that is so well put together. Make sure you try their sauces, one is hot the other is smokey... Both go well. I will be back to try more stuff. read more

I just are at this truck for the first time today. It will not be my last. I had the Chicharrons sandwich and the bread pudding. OMG! I can't believe this came off a truck! The service was friendly as well. If there is a line at this truck, it is going to be worth the wait. read more

Pretty solid and spicy if you add the extra sauces. Would not recommend without those, it becomes basically just a pork sandwich. I agree that these are not what I would call "chicarrones" in the technical sense, but they're very clear on the menu about what they're selling, and they're still good. read more

Their food truck stopped in front of my hotel tonight and I had a chance to try them out. I ordered a bed empanada and the pan con pollo. Both tasted amazing! Super fresh and cooked perfectly. The pan con pollo had very welll seasoned chicken and fresh produce. The empanada was big but if it were all I was ordering I'd suggest ordering 2. If you are given the chance, buy the rococo hot sauce they make, it's creamy and spicy, very good! 10/10 would buy from them again! read more

We had the food toward the end of lunch today. We found it to be very tasty but a little dry. Definitely worth a visit though, we would go back for sure. I added hot sauce and it was great! We had the chicharron and the asada, both were good. I found the pastry on the empanada to be a touch too sweet but still not bad. The prices were fair but not a steal. Overall four stars for the food and friendly service! read more

This is definitely one of the better trucks out there. I can't resist anything pork so I had the pan con chicarron sandwich. For $8 it was huge, meaty and tasty! I thought the sweet potato in the sandwich will be weird but it was very nice compliment to the yummy meat. I will definitely come back to try this truck again. read more

I didn't feel anything Peruvian in this place . Seems like they are trying hard to make authentic Peruvian food but not good enough to call it Peruvian. I hope they can improve their cooking . I wouldn't recommend this place . read more

Excellent food! We had the Pan Con Chicharron, Pan Con Asado, Pan Con Pollo and Spinach Empanadas. They were all so delicious! All the meat in the sandwiches was so tender and seasoned perfectly. Bread was super fresh. The empanadas were amazing and fresh. Huge sandwiches for a great price. Fast service! Highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious. Their catering options are just a great as their fresh food truck menu. Would definitely recommend checking out their future spot in Northeast DC. Ceviche and sandwiches from any of their trucks are always quality and perfect for a Friday lunch treat. read more

Amazing authentic food! Every time I visit DC I can count on Peruvian Brothers to satisfy. Try the Pan con Pollo- it's healthy, huge portion and perfect with the Rocoto sauce! read more

I had 2 beef empanadas for lunch yesterday, they were pretty tasty. Came with lemon wedges and hot sauce for $10. It was a 90 degree DC summer day and there were 20+ food trucks out in the area. It was a decent wait but what can you expect? It was 12:15 PM, they had a line and they were busy. The empanadas were pretty tasty, I can't say they were the best I've ever had, but the crust was not too flaky and they were generous with the amount of beef inside. I would stop by again. read more

The food is great but sometime I hate ordering from them because the staff act very slow. I would say 2/3 times my order of plantains would be missing or yucca fries. One time I order yucca fries, they put fries instead. I usually order a lot of food from them but it no excuse that there are couple of missing stuff that they forgot. They even forgot to give you their sauces unless you ask. Such a HASSLE. I would take my money to La Casita and is more attentive and they are right next to each other. read more

Having Peruvian Brothers cater our Peruvian themed party was a one-stop-shop where we were able to get catering and service above and beyond what we were hoping for. I researched 7 different Peruvian catering services, and they were the most-reasonably priced in the DMV. Peruvian Brothers provided us with DELICIOUS and healthly-made food, had full-service super friendly staff, they made great pisco sours, they provided 2 sweet alpacas to help liven up the party, and they hooked us up with an amazing live band and beautiful traditional dance performance. It was a party we will never forget and we could not have pulled off if it wasn't for the Peruvian Brothers. Whether you're looking just a meal, a catering service or a food truck, Peruvian brothers are truly the best company you could go with - hands down. They were incredibly responsive, professional, helpful, and just all around good people... and their food was AMAZING. read more

Incredible flavor, but the portion is a bit small for the $12 Lomo Saltaldo special. REALLY good though! Hopefully they have Empanadas and Alfajores the next time. Oh...and the guy at the window is HOT! - LOL. read more

Peruvian Brothers - I ate half the beef already before taking this pic....oops - lol. It's seasoned wonderfully! - Peruvian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Good food. Good service. Good price. I'm at work humming to myself while I devour the yummy chicken, quinoa salad, and mashed potatoes. This is my first time eating at this food truck but I will definitely return. Besides it doesn't hurt that owners are not too hard on the eyes. read more

Peruvian Brothers food truck at night at the Peruvian Embassy. Classy place. Classy food. Food is far better than food truck food should be. Treat yourself and get a bottle Rocoto to top it off. read more

Food truck came to property I lived at last night I was highly disappointed. Spent $90 on food for me and my family and everything was just horrible and dry! Was expecting tasty food what I got was some dried up chicken and beef sliced thin and ice cold! It also had absolutely no flavor. Rice was also super dry and just not good. I'm not one to usually write reviews but I wish I would have known just how bad food was before I got it. Don't waste your time! read more

Got the Pan con Chicharrón and it was exactly what I wanted. Great, soft bread, tasty meat, salsa criolla, and sweet potato! On it's own this sandwich was great, but then add the hot sauce they give you on the side and it might just make your day. And no, during the several months I worked in Peru, I never came across a sandwich like this, but everything about it tasted like Peru to me. I'm certainly no authority on Peruvian cuisine but this sandwich gave me the salsa criolla I was craving and the sweet potato was an unexpected delight. Service was pretty fast, I don't think I waited even 5 minutes after ordering. Im in D.C. for three more days and it's going to be difficult not to eat here everyday. read more

Peruvian Brothers is one of the best food trucks I've ever been to! I first tried them at Truckeroo in DC. The food is always tasty, and they have plenty of options. My favorite dish is the pan con asado. I highly recommend it. It's always seasoned well and the caramelized onions were like the cherry on top. You *have* to get the plantains. They're sweet, and I have often only ordered them. read more

Awesome sandwich! I had the Pan Con Chicharron and it was amazing! Perfect meal after a long day walking through the city. The rosoto hot sauce they had made it twice as good, would highly recommend asking for a couple sides of it. read more

If I was on death row my last meal would be a Pan con Chicharron sandwich with a side of the rocoto sauce. You can't beat it... Also, the service is always great read more

I tried this food truck near the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station. There was another Peruvian chicken food truck but the line was long and my time was limited. This truck did not have a long line so I took a chance with them. I regret it now. I ordered the Pollo platter with Peruvian rice and mashed potatoes for $11 dollars. The chicken is sliced and did not have any grilled flavor. Honestly it didn't have much flavor at all. The rice tasted like it came out of a box with very little seasoning added. The mashed potatoes were ok, so I basically paid $11 for a spoonful of decent mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, I will not be going back. Also, I am not implying correlation equals causation, but my credit card was cloned and fraudulently used later today. It could've just been a coincidence. However, if this has happened to other people who have visited the Peruvian Brothers' food truck, the company may want to consider getting a better payment processing system. Overall, I gave them two stars because they got my order right and the potatoes were edible. But it was not a good purchase for the money. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place. Do better and go elsewhere if you want good Peruvian chicken. read more

Delicious Food! I had the Pan Con Chicharron and the flavor is so good. My family is from Peru, and they live in California. I miss their homemade food a lot. This is excellent food and I just hope they come to Franklin Park by McPherson Metro more often. Thank you Peruvian Brothers for the exceptional food and I really hope you can open your own place as I will visit it a lot. read more

They come to Springfield occasionally. Food is pretty good. The pork sandwich is the best one and it's on point! Not crazy about the empanadas and they never seem to have the sauce I want (Huancaína sauce). Over all it's pretty good food. Definitely recommend trying it out. Cookies are yummy too. read more

I would give Peruvian Brothers six stars if there were six stars. This Labor Day weekend was my husband's birthday, the first one since we got married in May (yay! Congrats!) As a new wife I wanted to do everything I could to make his birthday wonderful. However, in my pursuit of birthday planning excellence I was hindered by my inability to cook anything that involves more than the microwave. I am pretty smart though, so I figured a work-around: get someone to make amazing food for the small dinner party. In this way I would not be making the food for the party but I would make it possible, as only capitalism can do. I reached out to Peruvian Brothers because I had hired them years ago for an alumni event. I had only dim hopes for a reply, thinking a 10 person dinner party was below whatever threshhold they had to make/sell food. Surely this place only replied to people that wanted to buy kilos and kilos of food (see what I did there? I used the Latin American weight measure) and would not be interested in my small but very lovingly planned party. I was super, super wrong. They replied to my email immediately and set up a time so I could call and speak directly to them about my plans. Giuseppe listened to my whole story without a rush. He steered me away from my ill-planned menu choices and suggested instead the aji and the empanadas. I didn't feel like he was up-selling me at all, especially since he said he would price the whole thing and email it to me. I receieved an email from him the very next day with a very, very, very reasonably-priced proposal for my dinner party. He explained that they would be out of town for the holiday (doing some work thing) so they wouldn't be unable to deliver, but that I could pick it up. Again, I was over the moon happy: what kind of place offers to do this even on a day they are closed? On the day of the event two guests decided to email me to say they could come after all. I was pretty mad at them and without thinking I called Giuseppe and in nearly incomprehensibly fast Spanglish explained that I had more people coming and asked him to please sell me more empanadas. He sounded as calm as if he were in the middle of a yoga retreat and said that he could sell me twenty empanadas. I did a celebration dance in my living room. A couple of hours later I picked up the food from their location in Alexandria. It is not super convenient if you don't own a car, but it can be done. If you make the best decision of your party-planning career and order food from them, please also check out the Kiwi (as in New Zealand) pie place that's in the same little area. I served my ten very, very gringo guests aji de gallina and empanadas that night. These are all wonderful, loving, and very skinny people and they ALL HAD SECONDS because the food was that good. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was and I recommended Peruvian Bros over and over, as I am doing now. My husband especially loved the food. He is now very interested in learning how to make aji de gallina. I keep saying we should just keep buying it from Peruvian Brothers. PROS: - Delicious - Great to work with - Not expensive - Did I already say delicious? CONS: - Nada - Well, ok, maybe pay the $25 delivery fee if delivery is available on the day of your event because it's not super easy/fun to go to Alexandria read more

I had Tilapia and two sides. Being that besides Peruvian Chicken I have not had Peruvian, I cannot speak to it's authenticity. However, if you want some of the best service in DC and some really good, reasonably priced for then stop at one of their food trucks. DC is NOT the place where you find a great deal of friendly, warm and welcoming customer service folks but at the Peruvian Brothers food truck at Gallery Place they were all smiles and customer care. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. I had the Tilapia which was well seasoned, flaky, just perfect with a side of really good mashed potatoes and a pretty run of the mill salad. 12 bucks. Hot and Fresh. Couldn't ask for anything more. read more

Not sure about the rave reviews...but my experience wasn't as great. This was my first time trying "real food" from a food truck and it will prob be my last. I got the chicken & mashed potatoes, took a bite of each and gave it to the homeless guy on the park bench. The chicken was dry, the potatoes taste watery, it just didn't do it for me. I wanted to force myself to eat it, because I was starving and didn't want to waste money..but I couldn't do it. If anyone is reading this and decides to give Peruvian Brothers a try, you should prob ask what the popular menu item is and stick with that. read more

Incredible food! Had the chicharron sandwich, and the beef empanada! Absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the food. Definitely a neighborhood gem. I recommend checking this place out. read more

I ordered chicken and two sides - I didn't realize I was getting sliced chicken lunch meat. Literally. I thought I was going to get a real chicken from the name of this truck. The quinoa salad was good though. The orange sauce was all they had for condiment, and it's nothing compared to the usual yellow and green sauces served elsewhere. I guess I should just stick to Super Pollo and Pollo Rico. This is not a real chicken meal whatsoever. Mind you, I was just in Peru last December- this truck is really not portraying the delicious, authentic flavors from their country. read more

Very good food, reasonably priced. Get their platter with chorizo and wild rice + quinoa, the wild rice is excellent.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I had the empanada de carne, pan con chicharron y chicha Morada. I was very disappointed to try these. They exhibit themselves as "Peruvians" but their food tastes nothing like it. The chicha morada had no flavor. It seemed as if they added plenty of water to have more to sell. It wasn't even close to what a real chicha morada should taste. The only decent thing was the pan con chicharron, but other than that, nothing good. read more

For your own benefit find this food truck, immediately! Love Peruvian Brothers, delicious food and reasonably priced. The pork sandwich with sweet potatoes is amazing! The sweet and spicy sauce has a great flavor and a nice kick. I'm always sad when I am done with my sandwich because I wish there were more. Highly highly recommend, definitely one of the best food trucks in DC! read more

Absolutely fantastic food! Their gormet sandwich is served with a Peruvian flair, and is executed perfectly. The customer service was impeccable and really makes you feel like part of their family. 5 stars! read more

Pon Chon Chicharron might possibly be the best sandwich I had my entire life. Seriously, it was so good. Please come to crystal city more.

I'd give them 4, maybe 4.5 for the food, and the people working there were perfectly nice. I got 2 empanadas at $5 apiece and a side of criolla (a vinegary sauce with red onions and bits of orange pepper). One empanada was spinach and cheese, and it was excellent. I also got the chicken, which was loaded with chicken. The meat was a little dry, but pouring some of the criolla on it made it very good. The size of 2 empanadas is enough for a good meal, and the pastry was incredible--like a good bakery's sweet, crispy pastry. I could eat it by itself. So with all this praise, why only 3 stars? Because I think they should advertise that their prices are different if you pay with credit card. If it says $11 on the truck, and someone pays $11 cash, I don't think I should find out that I've been charged $12.10 to my credit card unless something on the truck makes it clear that they're charging different amounts for cash versus credit card. I only found out after I had gone. I probably won't go back because this tact bothers me too much. read more

The food was two stars, but the service bumps it up to three... which, coming from a food truck, a vendor that has the most limited service possible to buy food from a human, is saying a lot. Ok, ok, ya got me. The guy is sweet on the eyes, so expect a heaping dose of eye candy with your food. Anyway, back to the food... the spinach and cheese empanada is hardly worth the $5 charged. I would have felt better about the experience if I paid no more than $3, for both the size and the taste left something to be desired. The arroz con leche was just meh. I suppose I would give them another try for one of those $8 sandwiches...and the eye candy. read more

Horrible!!! Horrible !!! Horrible!!! Never ever again. Food sucks. Their service sucks even more. It takes forever to get the food and then finally when you get the food, it has no taste at all.,. It's the worst food I have ever tasted.. It's a total waste of money.. I wish I could give 0 star. read more

I was walking back from an appointment to my office and I happen to come across the food trucks and I saw the Peruvian Brothers. I admit, I love Peruvian Chicken!!!
