    I went there for breakfast and I ordered 'pan con chicharron and tamales', it was delicious, and the service was 100%. I will definitely be back!

    Plastic in my food

    Ordered a pollo saltado and house salad. Pickup time was 4:15 as I ordered online. I get there before the time and they didn't even start on my order but they were waiting for me to write down a tip to start my order. With my salad I asked for ranch in the notes and when I arrived. Checked my bag, no ranch I go back inside and the manager looks at me confused knowing they don't have ranch and hands me Aji Amarillo sauce ( yellow sauce), just say you don't have ranch. Open up my pollo saltado and everything is separated, usually everything should be combined, I have no issue with this. During my fourth bite I start chewing on a huge piece of plastic. So disappointed with this overall

    Absolutely amazing! Some of the best Peruvian food I've had in the DMV. The staff is very nice and the service is great!

    My family has eaten here several times. The chicken is better than average, although at times it…read moretends to be a bit dry and greasy at the same time (it's really hard to explain). They have a wide array of sides, including plantain, fried yucca, several vegetable selections, and a variety of drinks. There are also other main dishes like bbq ribs. You generally get good-sized portions, and their sauces are pretty tasty. Decent value for your money. The downsides: this place is a chain- it's a vacant owner operation, so the staff is never too friendly, and the place could be cleaner than it usually is. Atmosphere isn't exactly great either- I suggest you get your food and take it home, fighting traffic all the way to enter/exit the strip shopping center where this eatery is located. I give it four stars: good chicken, great variety, meh on service and atmosphere. Try it out for take-out- I think you'll like it.

    I was craving Peruvian chicken so much after my round of golf at the university of Maryland golf…read morecourse. As I was driving back to my place, I found this restaurant at the strip mall. I was there around 3 pm. It was not busy as it was post lunch hour. I ordered quarter dark chicken with side of fried rice and yuka fries. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Fall off the bones and very delicious. I loved the nicely roasted chicken skin as well. Fried rice was good. I have had better fried rice at other places. Yuka fried with their green spicy sauce went really well. Nice and crispy. Ambiance is alright. It's a self serve place like most of the other Peruvian restaurants. Plenty of parking space.
