I'm so full! I could only eat one piece. I was able to sample all the sides I ordered and they were all delicious as well. My French Fries were piping hot and the plantains were my favorite. Definitely check this place out! They have an extensive menu with yummy seafood options. I placed my order over the phone and the young man who took my order was welcoming when I arrived. The store was clean and it wasn't crowned just a few patrons sitting in watch the soccer game. Oh! They also had a variety of delicious looking cakes and desserts in the fridge. I really had to hurry and make my way out the door!!! Anyhoo- maybe my next cheat day I'll come try a cake...or 2! Happy Yelping!

The interior matches that of a hole in the wall, which in my opinion makes it even better. It just has an authentic feeling which is matched by excellent tasting food.

The restaurant itself is small and stays busy, mostly people taking their orders to go, like me. The young man at the register is always kind (and I think the only one who speaks English). He is constantly translating for the other people there. The decor is a bit packed and cluttered, not much on aesthetics, but honestly, the food makes up for it every time. It is consistently good and reasonably priced.

This is a new Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken carryout and quaint counter-service diner - with around 6…read moreto 8 tables so far - with delicious seasonings and much on the menu, including seafood, angus burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches and cheesesteak subs. This restaurant is also halal. They just opened a few days ago with a full menu offering including tilapia, grilled salmon, red snapper, grilled shrimp and catfish. The fish entrees can be grilled or fried with your choice of seasonings: lemon pepper, Cajun, garlic, Old Bay or plain. The chicken and the fish are spectacular here. Definitely get the fish tacos! Lovely. Choose your fish and whether you want it grilled or fried. I chose fried tilapia. Choose your toppings: I got lettuce and salsa. Also ask for a bit of coleslaw on top. And then add the yellow sauce. So delicious. I also very much enjoyed the grilled tilapia with Old Bay. It was served healthy and clean vs. liquidy and juicy so I added the yellow pepper sauce for pure divinity. I also might recommend requesting a little drawn butter on top if they can do it and you like that sort of Maryland-style texture. Seriously, very good price points and value. You can also choose your sides with the fish and I enjoyed their delicious coleslaw with fries. I'm picky about cole slaws and this version has a nice slightly garlicky - very mild but just enough to be regionally unique - flavor. And the yellow sauce is so good with the fries, as well as ketchup. I also ordered a side of white rice which is delightful here. They cook it properly so that it is perfect rice-cooker clumpy vs. smooth and falling through your fork. They season it with just the right amount of cilantro and spices so that you could enjoy eating it plain. I always need butter or soy sauce but with their rice, I don't! There menu is ever-evolving but they also offer New York Strip Steak, a lamb chop entree (which they say is popular at their other locations), burritos, bowls, quesadillas, nachos and fajitas. And the menu includes 5 kinds of smoothies and 4 kinds of milkshakes. I had a quarter chicken meal with yucca fries and rice and beans and it was lovely. You'll see the large rotisserie chicken roaster slowly cooking all of the chickens while they cut yours' right in front of you, Peruvian-style. You will also get the mild yellow sauce that I mentioned earlier and green hot sauce which is traditional. That Peruvian Aji Amarillo (yellow) sauce is only 25 cents extra for more and the salsa verde is hot and flavourful. You can choose from your sides: yucca, cole slaw, fried rice, white rice, French fried, plantains, rice and beans, pinto beans or black beans. I also tried the cheesesteak. The 12-foot sub with its fillings is good. The sliced beef is seasoned. The amount of provolone cheese is generous and tasty. I added the spicy green sauce they give you for an alternative take but they do have jalapeños. Didn't ask about red hots. I asked if they could toast the sub roll, next time, and he kindly said yes. The quesadillas are massive and delicious. If you get steak added, ask them to slice it smaller maybe unless you prefer big pieces, which might be harder to chew while eating finger food versus using a steak knife. I love their 2-layer lemon cake! It's very tasty, moist and fresh. Do not miss the tres leches! The tres leches cake here is actually the best one I've ever had because it's more sweet and tasty. I only wished they served coffee with it but since they just opened, they are looking at what will sell best in this area before expanding the menu and beverages. (They do serve coffee at one of their other locations, so let's see if more locals around here ask for it since it's not a typical Peruvian restaurant offering.) I think many people are going to want to start eating here more because their food is that good. It would be nice if they could put more tables outside in front of the restaurant but I haven't seen others do that in this shopping center. On a side note, I'm a decades-long fan of the original Peruvian chicken restaurant in the NoVA area known as El Pollo Rico but there is only one in Wheaton. Years later, there are many other Peruvian Chicken restaurant spin-offs in the region near this location but none have come quite as close to Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Grill in terms of flavor and seasonings. Sure there are some other local restaurants with Peruvian chicken and more seating, but I most enjoy the flavours of the rotisserie chicken at this expanding chain.

I'm glad I finally did! The chicken was some of the best I've had in the DMV. Honestly, I now prefer this spot over Sardi's and the other Peruvian chicken spots I've tried. Definitely worth checking out!

Seen the place a ton of times and decided to stop by on a whim. It's in Beltway Plaza next to the…read morepho spot. You can access it either from inside the mall or from the parking lot outside. They offer Peruvian staples and much more. You've got the charbroiled chicken, but there's also some saltados, tacos, burritos, wings, gyros, and more. Now, usually I'd get a Peruvian staple, assuming that's what they're known for. But I had a taste for some other random things. I decided to get their lamb gyro and 24 karat wings. It was around lunch time so it wasn't empty in there, but it wasn't crowded. It was obvious some of the folks were regulars... everyone was nice. My order was taken and I got it within 10 minutes or so. When I got home the first thing I had was the gyro, which wasn't bad! The lamb was flavored a bit differently than I'm used to, but the texture and everything else was good. With the name, I was expecting the wings to be... golden, and they weren't at all. The flavor was good, but I was definitely expecting a different aesthetic. Wings are made well. I'd go back to try the Peruvian staples, hope they are good!

Over 20 minutes later, no progress. The charcoal couldn't catch. The foods good if you can get it. But they're dishonest whether or not the food is available even if you call. We're unbelievably disappointed in the way this was handled. We wasted our time and gas getting there. Time to find a new Peruvian chicken place. Fortunately, there are plenty around here!
