I don't go to Germantown often so I wasn't aware of this spot but my my my was it good. A highlight was the fried rice and beans. Something extremely unique at a Peruvian chicken spot. All the sides were delicious. The chicken was excels. Service and staff were amazing. The ambiance was lovely. Good vibes. You could definitely take a date there even. I highly recommend. And make sure to get TWO fried rice and beans for a party of 4 read more

I went here a couple of times in the past month -- my family and I love it! The service is amazing and the plates are always delicious. There is a good variety from traditional Peruvian chicken to ceviche, asados, and tallarín. Lots of in restaurant diners as well as to-go orders. Ample seating for small groups or larger ones. Will be returning! read more

The food was delicious per usual. We got calamari, ceviche, arroz de mariscos, carne asada, pollo à la brasa con papas y chupe de camarones. Our server, Enrique was attentive, helpful and really nice. The owner checked in and answered all my mom's questions. They also brought us a tres leches after hearing us mention it was my brother's birthday. We usually get to go but dining in was nice. My only note was the platanitos were a bit dry for my liking but I do like them squishy. 10/10 recommend read more

I had a great experience at Picca. The customer service was wonderful from start to finish, and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the steak, which was cooked perfectly, and we also tried their beef tongue stew special. And of course, I always love their ceviche. It was something different, but very flavorful and worth trying. Overall, a great spot with a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Jan 2025, the last 3 or 4 times here we have been getting the Parilla, which is a skillet dish with multiple meats, potatoes, the big corn and what appears to be fried halumi cheese. It's really tasty and feeds three easy with one additional side like yucca. But this time when we ordered the portion is different. I think it used to come with 2 skewers of meat and this time there was only one. And the pork chop was alot thinner than before. Taste was still excellent. The dish seemed to have more potatoes and cheese than before. I think the price was the same as before. Gotta keep your eye out on that value. read more

Picca Pollo A La Brasa - Arroz con pollo! Yum! - Peruvian Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

To say this is one of my favorite spots in Maryland would be an understatement. The customer service had felt on par with a trader joes (very good); you feel like a guest at someones house rather than a customer. The vibe is very dim and not too overstimulating, with great ambient music. And best of all, the food was packed with flavor, especially their arroz con pollo which was drenched with sauce. Dining at this restaurant truly elevated my week and I feel fueled for my water gun fight with my friends later today. read more

Picca consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience. The food is always expertly prepared, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is lively and inviting. From the moment you walk through the door, the mouthwatering aromas set the tone for the meal to come. As you settle in and explore the menu, the variety of authentic Peruvian dishes is both impressive and exciting--truly a testament to their dedication to quality and tradition. I love bringing my family here because I know we can always count on a fantastic meal, no matter the day, week, or month. Picca remains one of our favorite go-to spots for a reliably delicious experience. read more

I took a friend here as a first time experience (for her). Everything was delicious!! I forgot to take pictures (as usual!). But the one picture was of the empanadas! With the onions it is DELICIOUS! My only suggestion would be a thinner dough, but it's a preference and the dough on this one was good. I had the skirt steak and she had the Pollo Saltado. Both were excellent! Call ahead or show up to order! They move fast and you will not be disappointed! read more

Honestly, every time I eat from here it hits the spot! I typically order chicken with a couple sides and it's always a solid option. But you can also order other things such as Lomo Saltado, ceviche, sandwiches and more. They cook their chicken all day long and they juicy and flavorful. As a side I highly recommend the side salad, not so much for the greens themselves but the house dressing is unmatched. When you order chicken make sure to try the green and yellow sauce! Also, make sure to treat yourself to some alfajores for dessert! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Great for takeout or dine in! read more

Food and service was great BUT again I will say this, STOP bringing the main course out when we order Appetizers. Let us finish the appetizers before bringing the main course. This makes the customer feel rushed and the food gets cold!!!!! read more

Went to Picca for dinner last night. Service was very good, friendly server. The food was good, nice flavor with the chicken though a bit small, good thing the give you three pieces. The yucca was nicely done but obvious it was sitting under heat lamp and not fresh, still good. Salad was very good, vegetables crisp and I really like the house dressing. The only down side is the price has gone way up. $17 for the chicken. read more

Going inside here I didn't know this was the same company as Sardi's, I was looking at their sauces like "uh, did they steal the sauces from Sardi's" haha but the lady told me they're the same company. Although it's a mix of to-go/dine in, you can either traditionally dine in where there's a waiter or offer to go, if you're in a rush. The chicken was delicious and the fries and yucca were fresh read more

Always get my order on time Too! read more

We've been to Picca Pollo several times throughout the years. Our Friday night dinner was the worst. Food was tough and dry. The service was especially slow on a not so full evening. What happened? read more

They have a great family special for 2 whole chickens and 5 sides. The chicken taste like Sardis. I think they even use the same sauces as them. Salty, juicy, perfect. The sides are all really good. The starter/appetizer chicharron was deep fried and came cut up in 4 pieces. Fatty and juicy but just taste like normal pork belly overall. read more

The service was excellent, and the food was good. The ambiance was a little too hot for my comfort, but we had a good experience.

Great Peruvian chicken option! Chicken has always been juicy and they also have a large selection of other foods. I am a big fan of their ceviche. I have not sat down to eat but there is a large seating area both inside and outside. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Recommended if you are in the area! read more

Peruvian restaurant recommended by a friend; we decided to give it a try. Ample seating inside and outside. The service was attentive and pleasant, the atmosphere was casual and the food was great. We ordered: 3*DE CASA SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN-Mixed greens tossed with chicken, carrots, tomatoes, onion. cucumber, and chickpeas: per normal. 4*PESCADO A LO MACHO included filet fish and mixed seafood, topped with a cream sauce of aji amarillo (yello chili) Cilantro, wine, and heavy cream. The portion was big and perfect for sharing. The cream sauce was delicious. 5*Whole chicken: juicy, tender and tasty, everyone loved it. 4*Ceviche tasting: three bowls of different seafood ceviches with different sauces. It came with corns and sweet potatoes. All were pretty fresh and good. 4*STEAK ANTICUCHOS--Steak skewer marinated in house antichuchos sauce and served with side dish of green beans and fries. Steak skewers were cooked well. The meat was tender and tasty. 5*Fried Yucca: I loved the texture. Way better than fries. Portion was generous. 4* Fried Plantains: per normal. read more

I visited as a party of 4 on a weekday evening. We were sat right away and that's when things went downhill. The server acted like they didn't want to be there. Sure, we have bad days. I understand that. When the food came out, everything was cold except the chicken on the dish. My shrimp was cooked too much and my side were terrible. This place use to be good but the prices do not match the quality. You're better off going to the nearby taco place. #YelpMDburbs read more

This place never disappoints with their Peruvian flame broiled chicken. You can call and order ahead, which most people tend to do, or dine in and explore their FULL menu, which is loaded with Peruvian and other Latino dishes. Staff is very polite, service is very timely. You'll leave feeling full and satisfied!! read more

We took carry out from this restaurant at lunch time. I forgot to take a photo, but the food is fast (because a buffet of foods is ready to go and be prepped by a server sort of Chipotle-style). There were great choices of sides, and the chicken is fresh and delicious. There is also a spacious dining-in section--and both the host for dining-in and the carry-out section were very friendly, greeted us right away and were helpful. Besides the buffet, you can order other regular menu items to go--entrees, salads and sandwiches. The food was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Picca Pollo A La Brasa - Peruvian Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

I am annoyed with this place because they do not follow specific instructions on an order. I ordered 1 whole chicken with 2 large sides. I asked to put the beans on the side. This manager female that is working 03-27-2024 at 7:07 is the disrespectful and rude. She did not listen to my issue and wanted to have a yelling match with me so I contacted UberEats and they refunded my entire order. Some people are not fit to be the title they are. I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!! read more

I've been here twice and both time the food was great! Last time I got chicharon, chaufa, and whole chicken and this time I got half chicken. It's a lot of foods for the price and taste really good. I would definitely visit again; it's very good Peruvian restaurant. The chicken is actually charbroiled not oven roasted, so there's charcoal taste to it. read more

Picca Pollo A La Brasa - Half chicken with Yucca & Plantain - Peruvian Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

I love love this place. Finally have free wifi so I can post photos, check in and do a review on the spot! Yay! First time to try the chicharron de Cerdo. 4 large pieces of tasty marinated then fried pork belly. We only ordered 3 appetizers knowing they provide large servings. Still had enough to feed another person lol! The music, the drinks (I had classic margarita and mojito for hubby), calamari to die for-tasty, crispy and lightly nattered, lastly had the Tastings of 3 types of ceviche. I could devour this every day -low calories too wink wink lol! Of course I will be back again and again ...come taste this deliciousness Yummmm! read more

I came here on a rainy Thursday so maybe the weather had something to do with my mood‍. I ordered the shrimp and they were over cooked and had me wishing I would have ordered chicken instead. It wasn't anything that I would send back, but I don't think I would order it again. The sauces are the same as Sardis and I'm a big fan of the spicy vinaigrette for everything including the salad (that's what it's meant to go on). Service was good. I would give them another shot, but I wasn't blown away. read more

The Peruvian chicken here is really authentic. I've been to Peru several times and it tastes so similar! The pricing is not bad either. I really enjoy all of the sauces that they have, particularly the yellow aji sauce. The yucca fries and chaufa are also fantastic. read more

Recently placed the order online. I showed up in 20 minutes as requested. My chicken and yucca had already been bagged up. I waited an additional 20 minutes for the Lomo Saltado to be finished. My chicken and yucca were completely cold by the time the Lomo was finished. This was 45 minutes before closing and mine was the only order they were cooking. The staff is already cleaning pans and I think that they were not anticipating another order of lomo saltado. I mentioned something to the girl at the check out and she did not even acknowledge what I said until the third time I mentioned it. read more

Very bad food, this place was my favorite but after few visits is not favor anymore I got few bites of the chupe de camarones and my friend few bites of the pescado a lo macho none of those dishes represent what they said it's!BAD FOOD And still been charged for something we did not eat . read more

We used to love this place, but last couple of times they served the yucca cold. The server apologized and promised to bring it hot but never did. The saltado tasted, well, salty, the flavor mostly like soy sauce, and the meat was overdone. The manager said that's how they always do it, unless you tell them not to. Didn't offer to make it right. Thanks, man! This was a few months ago, maybe it's improved, but we haven't been back since. read more

Food was excellent they give you great sized portions. I got the 1/2 chicken with rice and plantains and was able to save some to bring to lunch the next day. Dining in gives your bigger portions compared to Sardis. Our server was very nice and attentive. Overall, decently priced delicious food. read more

I've been here twice and have enjoyed this restaurant both times. The menu has great options at affordable prices. The food is flavorful and thankfully the portion size is great as well. To top it off The staff is kind and fun to chat with. If you haven't been here you should definitely stop by. read more

This place used to be good, far too expensive now. They never have specials, mostly all Peruvian chicken spots are just basic.

I love their Sister chain, Sardis. So I already know that the food here is great, in fact, theyre better than Sardis. They area open at 50 % capacity due to COVID and being stuck at phase 2. Its best to eat outside, weather permitting. I think the older male that seated me was the owner. Very nice and charismatic. I wanted to try something meaty. So, I got lomo saltado. Its basically the Peruvian version of a steak stir fry but 10x better. I had sides of yucca fries and rice chaufa. Basically its there house rice, which is tasty!!! Yuca fries, crispy. No complaints. My dish was packed with so much flavor. They have plenty of other tasty dishes to try. We already know there chicken is A+. So explore there other menu entrees. My buddy got ceviche which is just delicious and carne asada. Very tasty and seasoned well. With the covid, they serve in Togo boxes, and plastic ware. Its a little tricky cutting the steak but its ok... food was good and they provide great service with little wait time. read more
