    Fried Whiting Combo 3pcs w 2sides
    Char I.

    When I tried the chicken and loved it, I came back to try the fried fish. I did order the fried plain whiting with plantain and fried rice. The serving was huge and worth the money. Though i waited on the phone for 8mins holding and decided to call again, I was able to get in and ordered and learned that she is working by herself and then understood why. The restaurant looks okay i ordered take out and when ai get there it is already packed. Will comeback and try other dishes.

    It smells good in here

    I am not going to lie. I love roasted chicken especially when cooked over a flame ... This new restaurant has actually exceeded my expectations.. It's close to home, plenty of parking, and some super juicy & flavorful chicken.. I highly recommend you try it at least once and make sure that they give the Green Sauce and Garlic sauce that pairs perfectly with the Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken. There is so much variety available on menu... lamb chops, wings, burgers and even ice cream .... I have purchased the Charbroiled chicken at least 7 times already... it is hard not to when you leave Planet Fitness and smell the aromas of rotisserie chicken fill the air.

    Almost 5 stars!!! Ahhhmazing! We got the 1/2 charcoal chicken dark, with a side of fried rice and plantains, the 5 piece whole wings (moon dust), and the lamb chops with 2 sides, and 2 drinks, for my family of 4. Lamb chops - OMG Moon dust wings - OMG Charcoal Chicken - OMG The only thing that stand out as something that needs to be worked on are the sides. The sides are just mid and also sitting out on the bar behind the counter. Theres so much emphasis in flavor of the meat that I feel that the sides were an after thought. The meat is absolutely delicious though. The charcoal 1/2 chicken had flavors I couldn't even make out, but it was deliciously fresh. The lamb chomps were so tender and easy to bite and chew. The whole wings were fresh and crunchy. Be prepared for a longer wait time. I suggest calling beforehand. This place was packed with people waiting for their food. I can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

    If you've had Sardi's in the DMV, you will love this place. The food was much more flavorful than Sardi's. The chicken was tender, the sides were flavorful. There was a long wait, but I will definitely be back.

    This new spot is really good ! Little pricey but worth the amount of food they give you in the combo plates. Service was excellent they were very helpful and friendly. If I ever got the carne asada again I would choose a different side and not rice because they have rice under the carne asada already. The chicken is very good!!

    Great spot!! Food was amazing, the chicken was so flavorful and there were so many options for the sides. From plantains to fried rice to yucca fries! I loved them all! The service was fast and the lady at the counter was super friendly and helpful with what sauces to try out! The place is simple and open.

    4 Piece Lamb Chop with Plantains and Fried Rice

    I kept seeing this spot all over TikTok, so I had to check it out and I'm glad I did! I had the lamb chops with fried rice and plantains, plus a few of their steak tacos. Everything was packed with flavor. The plantains could've used a little more time, but overall, the food was so good. The menu is huge, so I'm already planning my next visit. They have indoor seating, but I grabbed mine to go. Heads up, it gets busy, so I'd recommend ordering ahead, l waited about 40 minutes for my food.

    1/4 Chicken with string beans and cheesy potatoes

    The food was spectacular with a great price to boot! Chicken very juicy and flavorful, and the string beans and cheesy potatoes to die for. Service was amazing as well, the cashier was very kind and helpful. Cute hole in the wall with great food, will definitely come back!!!

    Definitely liking this place. It's great for a ketovore or carnivore diet by the way. My chicken was seriously delicious. These people are busy for a reason!

    The chicken is the best Peruvian chicken you can get in the area. A staple for those who want chicken and rice tacos.

    After being sick for a week, I was looking forward to eating something other than soup and decided…read moreto visit Charcoal Chicken in Loehmann's Plaza. I hadn't eaten there in over five years, so I was hoping the food was still as good as I remembered. My visit was on a Friday evening, around 6:00 or 6:30 PM. The dining room was relatively quiet, with only two other customers present, and I was immediately greeted upon walking in. I asked the cashier about the new menu item, the "Lamb Chops." He described them as pan-fried, noting that an order includes two to three nice-sized chops and comes with two sides. I decided to order the lamb chops to go, selecting the arroz chaufa (fried rice) which was a $1 upcharge and plantains as my sides. I was extremely disappointed when I opened my order and found that I had been served lamb shoulder for $18 and not the lamb chops I expected (typically rib or loin chops). To add to my disappointment the quality of the Lamb was very poor; it was tough, contained an excessive amount of connective tissue and fat, and was ultimately inedible. I ended up having to throw the entire portion away. The arroz chaufa also had inconsistent quality. While the flavor was good, the texture varied significantly, with parts being mushy and overcooked, and others remaining hard and undercooked. The Plantains were cut too thick and were also undercooked. Given the cost and the expectation associated with "Lamb Chops," I was extremely unhappy with my meal. I believe the cut of meat served was misrepresented, falsely advertised and the quality was unacceptable. I certainly cannot recommend this item to others and regret not ordering the chicken, which I know your restaurant prepares well.

It was plenty for my family and we even had leftovers. The staff is friendly and the restaurant had plenty of tables so you can sit down and enjoy your food but we opted for take out and ate at home. We will be back and I want to try the other items on their menu too. Be sure to give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

So, let's find out how the visit went. There weren't a lot of people inside and there was only one waitress attending to tables. They have a bar area, tables and booths. We decided to eat near the entrance to their supermarket. It took a while for us to roam through the menu, but decided on what we wanted a few minutes after getting seates. I chose a 1/2 chicken with two sides (fried yucca and french fries). The Peruvian chicken was pretty good and flavorful. Both the fried yucca and fries could've been seasoned more, but were plentiful. I actually saved half of my meal for takeout and tasted well for dinner. Unfortunately, the bad part of our visit was the decor. The restaurant is located in a strip mall which has seen better days. Seats at the booth are torn up.....literally. The tables are outdated. The floor is in pretty bad shape, especially near the bar area. And in the bathroom, the paper towel dispenser was not connected to the wall and instead, laying on the floor. It's not comfortable washing your hands and then turning it sideways where you can get paper. I really don't mean to sound mean,, but the decor alone would turn folks away. It needs a big renovation all around. Hopefully, down the road, they can upgrade or they may become a thing of the past :(

    Portions are HUGE. The food was so flavorful and delicious. The server was friendly but told us the…read morefood would take 15 mins (we got it to go), ended up going to the dollar tree and came back and have to wait at least another 15 mins.

The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had plenty of available seating. I ordered the quarter chicken with Peruvian fried rice and sweet plantains. Everything was exceptional; the rice and plantains were cooked perfectly, and while I did think the chicken was slightly salty, it was still very tasty. I also enjoyed the green sauce provided, though the food was flavorful enough on its own. My only minor suggestion is for the staff to ask guests whether they prefer white or dark meat when ordering. Aside from that, the meal was excellent. If you are looking for authentic, great-tasting Peruvian chicken, I highly recommend stopping by El Pico de Oro.

The food is delicious -- from the perfectly seasoned rotisserie chicken to the sides: yuca fries, peruvian corn salad, potatoes that taste homemade. The chicken is juicy, tender, and full of flavor, especially the dark meat, though fair warning: it can take a bit longer to come out if you order that. What really stood out was the fact that it was a one-man show -- the same person was the cook, cashier, server, and everything in between. You could tell he was working hard and looked exhausted, but he still managed to get everything done with a calm demeanor and a fairly steady attitude. Patience is key here, as food is made to order and may take time depending on what you choose. But trust me, the taste is worth the wait. Oh and If you're dining in on a hot day, make sure you grab a seat near the fan -- it can get very warm inside. It's a no-frills spot that delivers on flavor and heart.
