    Chicharron De Pescado
    Janet A. M.

    My son took me out to lunch here and it was wonderful! Delicious food! My son got the Chicharron De Pescado and I got the Saltado de Pescado, which was nice and spicy. We were served by very friendly, pleasant staff. We loved the decor as well, with its authentic pieces from Peru. And we both noticed that the music wasn't too loud there; we could actually hold a conversation. Although we tried to use a little Spanish, it wasn't necessary, as everyone there spoke perfect English. We'll definitely go back!

    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!

    Decided to go because I haven't gone to this location since they opened. I swore there was one in…read moreWheaton further from the mall, but that was years ago, and I guess they moved locations. Anyways, plenty of parking and seating, same complex as the mall, but not in the mall. There is a bar area. Wash area for just your hands obviously, and TVs too. Very good flavor! Chose our own boil and they just threw everything inside one big bag. I didn't like how they didn't change out our trash pale thing, but we were almost done. Also ran out of water and they should have been attentive to that, but again, we were almost done. Everything was cooked fresh, very good flavor! Spicy is decent spicy but not crazy spicy. If I were to go back again, I'll get the spiciest just to try.

    Service: Service was good. The server kept coming by to check in on my table. Since we were tucked…read moreaway, we were not able to get the attention of our server very easily. Food: Crab Fries - Pass. The crab on this dish was broken up and slightly fishy smelling. I would just get regular fries to dip in the seafood boil sauce. Seafood Boil - Always a favorite! You cant go wrong with getting a seafood boil. I ended up adding ramen noodles and it was a great addition. I wished they would've provide more utensils to make it easier to eat. As the food got colder, the sauce became saltier. On to my next adventure...
