Parhuela de Mariscos
Michael L.

We love this place! The staff is always so nice, the waitstaff are welcoming and friendly (especially Guillermo), the food is always tasty, the atmosphere is peaceful and nice, along with the music. My fiancée is born and raised in Peru and she 100% approves of the food here. We love the cancha they serve at the start along with the huancaina and ocopa sauces, and they are great at keeping those filled. We love the pollo a la brasa, fettuccini with huancaina and lomo, ceviche was beautiful, and parihuela. The lunch specials are amazing deals, just be sure to call ahead to make sure they didn't sell out yet. The maracuya juice is perfect. Overall we prefer coming here over than Picca or Sardi's, they have good food too but the atmosphere and friendliness isn't the best, and the wait lines can get long. You'll especially love this place if you want the authentic Peruvian tastes. You won't be disappointed!

Un pescado , dos lunch especiales q son 1/2 platos same $ y 1 pisco sour q costó igual q un vaso de un buen vino q no es lo mismo.

No más rincón peruano for us. Desafortunadamente la calidad de comida y precios está out of control. Y te obligan a dar propina/gratuity en incluyendo los taxes de la comida lo q no es ley en MD. No tienes q pagar propina por taxes y no tienen q obligarte en pagar propina . Y menos si el servicio o comida no está bien. También solo tienen a una persona trabajando lo cual esperas por el servicio mucho mas tiempo. Que pena. Nosotros siempre apoyamos a restaurantes locales pero no cuando abusan y se re aprovechan . Les deseamos suertes . Así les paso al restaurante limeña. Bajan la calidad de comida, cobran más y te obligan a pagar mal servicio . Q pena .

I'm so happy I found this place close to home. Peruvian food is one of my favorites. Let's start by saying that the staff here was super friendly from the lady at the register to Guillermo my waiter he was AMAZING!!! Capitol letters amazing. He offered me this special tea they make and it so so delicious I don'y remember the tea but all I know that it's made of herbs and it's good for you. My main dish was the papa it was so creamy, the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I ordered a side of rice with it great combination two starches never hurt.. lol i also ordered the Choclo is was so delicious most places I go they always have hard corn not this place. The green sauce was so good I wish the yellow sauce was as watery but it's good. For dessert I ordered leche asada omg is this incredible or what!! It's similar to a FLAN 100 times better. What can I say everything here is delicious. The prices are incredible and They have specials everyday. Thank you Guillermina for treating us like royalty we enjoyed eating here. If your visiting or live in the DMV make sure to stop here you wont regret it!!

I paid almost $20 on top of the entree just to substitute beef with shrimp .

My friend and I came in for lunch. Due to dietary restrictions my friend requested the beef in the lomo saltado be substituted with shrimp in which the waitress went to check with the manager for approval. She proceeded to tell us it would Be extra which we were ok with however did not mention the extent to how much extra we would be charged. Upon receiving our bill we realized that we were charged an extra $20 for this substitution making this mediocre meal a $40 plate. While trying to understand the charge ,we asked the waitress for a manager in which she lied and said she couldn't find the manager however I was staring at the waitress and the so called manager having the conversation. The waitress comes back proceeding with this lie after I had been staring at them. 10 minutes later.... what do you know ? the same "manager" who was Missing pops up and tries to give a crappy justification . Her ideal rationalization of this absurd charge was that every meal that would contain shrimp will include three pieces of jumbo shrimp max and that each shrimp cost $3 .-MIND YOU EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAD SHRIMP ON THE MENU WAY LESS. After being caught in her lie and way off math proceeded to say actually it's $5 per shrimp.Proceeds to argue that the waitress told us it would be $40 a plate when that was never a thing.(Mind you our plate had 6 shrimps max if that) so now we're responsible for the extra shrimp YOU decided to give us lol. 3*3 is 9 even 3* 5 is 15. How did you randomly charge $20 on top of the cost of the Entree? Here's my issue 1. A substitute is just that no more no less . So why would you give me more shrimp if your substitute would only allow 3 shrimp max?-please see even the appetizers contain more shrimp so this Is a lie.Even still, How are we required to pay additional without notification because you decided to give me what you consider extra" MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 2. Please see the amount of beef provided in a lomo saltado dish vs "this shrimp substitute " 3.you're charging me for a whole different plate. I could've bought two times the amount of a regular plate and just taken the beef aside Ultimately we faught for a 5$ refund only for them to automatically apply a gratuity charge of roughly $8that we never agreed to . What's the point of a refund if you're gonna give yourself the money back anyways? How are you even justifying this? Taking advantage of the situation and customers who were loyal before this incident. Unfortunately all I have are pics of the check.

Ceviche pescado
Jamie R.

This restaurant is positively delightful. I love ceviche and the ceviche de pescado is absolutely delicious. It is made to perfection. The sweet potato side and corn are exquisite. I am very pleased My fiancé got the special, a trio and he was very pleased. The trio is best shared as it is a sizable portion. I also love their sides. The fried yuca is excellent w sauces on the side and you get a large amount of yuca! Very pleased! Our waitress was very kind and helpful. We also got some sweets to go; I'm sure they will be a hit as well. Muchísimas gracias, nos gusto mucho!

Lomo Saltado

Thank you for saving our night with these delicious food. My husband and I decided to give this place a chance after all the good reviews we saw. Food was fantastic and the service was great. Definitely coming back to try more things from the menu.

Great place and service! Food was great! My boyfriend enjoyed the food and felt like he was back in Peru! The restaurant looks well taken care of. We had a waiter that worked exceptionally.

Good Peruvian food with a nice ambience. This place is VERY popular and seemed to have a lot of…read morepeople when I came. The interior is clean and pretty, and the fancy plates make it feel like a nice spot for a family brunch or meal. That said, the wait was a bit annoying. I was told it would be about 15 minutes, but I ended up waiting closer to 30-45 minutes. I came around 3:40 PM on a Sunday, so maybe it was just an especially busy time, but I wish they had a better waiting system or at least gave more accurate updates. I also found the prices pretty high in general. Most dishes are $20+, which adds up quickly. And I wasn't a fan of their tap water, it tasted a little off to me. Now onto what I ordered: Aeropuerto de Pollo (3.5/5) Nothing crazy and honestly not worth the price for me. The presentation makes the dish look more impressive than it actually is. Without the crispy stringy bits on top, it mostly just tastes like fried rice. Ceviche (5/5) Really well-made ceviche! Not fishy at all, not overly sour, and I liked the broth/soup part a lot. There was a good amount of onion that helped balance everything out. $20 is definitely on the pricier side for ceviche, but I guess that's the cost of fish these days Lomo Saltado (4/5) Lomo saltado is usually my go-to Peruvian dish, so I had high expectations. This one was a little saltier than I'd prefer, and they were definitely skimping on the rice. The meat was also a bit tough. Still good overall, but I think Barra Brava's lomo saltado is slightly better. I am still curious what their other foods are like so I might give this place a try again one day!

We chose Mayta's largely based on location, being open for lunch and strong online reviews. We were quite happily unsurprised with the quality of its fare and its seeming value. Nestled into a quasi-upscale strip center on the western side of suburban Frederick, Mayta's presents an extensive and diverse menu, with helpful pictures and short narrative descriptions. Food is order-at-the-counter, either off of the lighted overhead menu or standard printed menus. The cuisine for both is the same. For dine-in, which is what we did, one need not pay upon ordering but we did so for our convenience and that of the staff. We both ordered off of the $20 lunch specials menu, for which you get one appetizer, one entree and one soft drink. We found the portions delicious and generous - both of us brought home considerable leftovers for lunch the next day. Each dish was well-seasoned and prepared without being too salty (a too common failing for international cuisine prepared for American consumers. While we also are intrigued by Mayta's neighbors in the strip center, we definitely would come back. There is nothing not to like here.

Let me start by saying, I really love this resturant! This is my second time going there, as I went…read morethere last week with friends, and wanted to go again as their menu was extensive! I wanted to wait and give a review after the first time as I hoped it wasn't one of those, ("the first time it was great! The second time...not so much.), let me reassure you that was not the case with Autentico! On my first visit, I had a seafood selection, and it was so fresh and so good! I was also checking out my buddy's chunks of beef that were part of his meal, and wanted that too! He gave me a chunk and it was so tender, juicy and good, I knew on my next visit, I would have to order some form of their steak! The service was spot on, and food order time to table, was exceptional! My next visit came yesterday, and yes I ordered a steak! It was a late Friday afternoon, and even though they were busy with a few large tables of people, service was still outstanding and the food was even better than the first time! If you have read some of my reviews, by the time I think to take pictures, there's not much left to take a picture of! Also, I know some people just take pictures and not much else, and while something can look really good in a photo, you have to dig into it to unearth what's really good about the dish, and everything I have tried at Autentico, was superb! I ordered the NY Strip with fries and instead of the rice that comes with it, I asked if I could substitute veggies for the rice? They said no problem! While the first time I had a couple bottles of their Corona, which was very cold and was also provided with a frosted glass, this time I asked for a Modelo Especial. I was told they had it on tap! Major points, as I love all of Modelo's products especially the stouts! It was just my buddy from work this time and me, and we had such a great meal and the ambiance was awesome! I had joked my first time visiting there while driving in, that there was an Irish resturant right next to it! I mentioned that we should go there after for a couple pints. We never got around to it, as we were too full both times to make it in. But that resturant is in the back of my mind for a future visit! So if you do go to Autentico, you won't be disappointed. It's a great location that's worth the drive, and an exceptional resturant!

DO NOT give your credit card until you see the bill , that's what happened to me, they without asking you charged your in your Credit card you 18% "gratuity"( tip) it's in the bill when they bring the bill with your credit card besides, in the same bill not even happy to take your money immediately they leave a space to put a suggested tip(another tip}, yes another tip, so the owner thinks that we should pay the waiter or waitress salary. The BS excuse from the manager was to say that : one day a big group came and they did not leave tips " perhaps did not pay the second tip " and for that reason the impose to take from customer's credit card 18% in advance without permission as a tip as soon as you give you Credit Card and I can not imagine how many innocent people fell for it , especially the ones that have some drinks, that do not notice or read their bill , the will be paying again the " tip number 2", it could be 24% or 28% . This is illegal. So as the ley says in Maryland you as a customer can do: 1. . Ask the manager for changing or removing from the bill that 18% and as the majority of restaurants put the suggested tips normally at the bottom from 13% up and give the tip as you want , and make a line for the second tip if they just modify the first tip as you suggested and not remove the "the second one" . if they don't want to do it proceed as follows: Call 410‑321‑4067 to request a form / Call the police. Office of the State Prosecutor All the information you can find in internet, and you can ask for someone that speaks Spanish if English is not your language. . The CPD will review your complaint, assign a mediator if appropriate, and may take enforcement action if the business violates Maryland law Small Claims Court If the amount is under $5,000, you can sue in small claims court without a lawyer. This is a legal remedy if other methods fail 5. Evidence to Support Your Case Gather: Receipts showing the advance tip charge.

Especially at their prices & the hoity toity atmosphere, you'd think they'd also be well-run and reasonably accommodating, eh? Nope. Worth the drive? Not any more. Worth the wait? Definitely not anymore! For as many times as we've frequented Pisco in Reston with a small group, one would think they'd get their seating straightened out. Every time we've attempted to eat here on a reservation, they've had issues. Never set up and ready to seat us. Never prepared upon opening... and it's never busy when they first open which is why we always go early. But, they are NEVER ready to seat us. What's the use of making a reservation a week in advance if you're not going to be ready to seat the party nor accommodate the request? How would you like to find out at the last minute that they're going to split up your party at two different tables on two different sides of the restaurant because they weren't prepared when you gave them a week's notice via reservation? The food isn't that good to have to keep going through the challenge of being seated every time we make a reservation for a group. They're really pricey, too. So, certainly not worth this chronic headache. There are PLENTY of other places in the Town Center or in Herndon/Reston in general where you can get a tasty meal, not drop a day's pay, and have your entire party served well together. The taco joint across the street is definitely a more pleasant experience, for example, and I would certainly recommend bartaco...give them a try instead for a fun environment and some good eats.
