After a full morning photoshoot, several friends and I dropped in for a pre-flight lunch. It did not disappoint. Our order consisted of shrimp fajitas, shrimp salad, fried shrimp with plantains, and talapia. All exclaimed their selection was scrumptious. Of course, my fajitas were best. . Grilled and seasoned to perfection. The rice was savory. If you like an extra zing, add the spicy sauce. None of us have to purchase airport food! read more

Not sure how I have never been to this place considering I literally live right down the street and love all things Latin cuisine. Located in Fairway shopping center, plenty of parking. Signage says "chicken". I ordered two papusa revueltas and black beans. Papusas are my jam! These days this warms my heart and my belly. The papusa like most places comes with slaw and a sauce. The slaw is yummy but I also prefer mine with a bit more spice so I don't generally use my own sauce. The papusa was delightful but came a part as I was eating it, I'm not used to that. I think it was because they were packed with goodness. The slaw was delish, I really enjoyed it. The beans were aiight, a little under seasoned for my taste, but that can be fixed. I will be returning, because my belly is happy! read more

We've been meaning to try this place out and I was able to stop by yesterday. I ordered the shrimp and chicken fajitas with rice, salad and a side of black beans. Everything was delicious and flavored so well. The restaurant was clean and dining area closed due to the pandemic but they do have signs down encouraging folks to stand 6ft a part and I laughed at the shower curtain liner that had hanging at the register- but hey blame it on these crazy unprecedented times we are currently in... I can't wait to come back and try something else!! They have a variety of yummy cakes to pick from too...I was staying away from that refrigerator...lol...but I did have a Inca Cola!! That was refreshing... I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time to avoid a long wait and line forming from people coming to pick up orders and those coming in to place them...just makes life during these cray times a bit easier... read more

The steak and grilled shrimp is outstanding. The black beans and rice is very good too! Very tasty indeed!

Yuck please go somewhere else. Horrible customer service and terrible food! A total waste of money. read more

Please do not judge a book by its cover. This small unassuming restaurant offers amazing food!!! My wife, who is very picky about her food, ordered the chicken quesadillas. If you are a person of a certain age, you are familiar with the "Mikey" commercials. Well, this was that moment-she gave her meal a robust thumbs up and declared that this is now a "go-to" place for her. I had the whole fried tilapia and was equally impressed. The fish was perfectly crunchy on the outside and still moist inside! This was a pleasant surprise and a must do again!!! Next time I am going to try the boozy cakes!! read more

I ordered the shrimp quesadilla. It's juicy and messy but it's delicious. The flavors are really good together. They don't skimp on the cheese. The shrimp are teeny tiny though so I would definitely make them with bigger shrimp. It tastes good I'm not gonna complain. It would be helpful if they cut the quesadilla into smaller pieces. I had 2 small pieces & 1 large piece that I had to cut in half. I definitely didn't finish my meal. Don't forget to order some green sauce on the side. It tastes great on the quesadilla. I also had the yellow fried rice. I crushed the container of teeny tiny rice. It wasn't really fried rice in my opinion. It's good but it was just yellow rice with some seasonings. read more

Silvestre Chicken - Shrimp Fajitas with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

I first noticed this style of char-broiled rotisserie chicken some years back, when Crispy & Juicy opened up on Rockville Pike. I liked it well enough, but it is one of those things you've got to be in the mood for. I would go for months before I had a craving but when I do, I wasn't always in Rockville, so I started keeping an eye out for places like this. Crispy & Juicy is Peruvian style, or so I'm told and there are a couple of other places much like it, but with different names. Since they weren't outstanding or noteworthy, i can't recall their names offhand. I first saw signs in the neighborhood, and they looked rather amateurish, but I've learned not to judge a book by its cover, and that definitely applies here. Silvestre Chicken is Salvadoran style, and it not only offers the signature bird, but a nice range of other dishes from fajitas (beef, chicken, shrimp) to sandwiches and tacos using a variety of grilled meats and whole fish dishes. All of the ones I've tried have been very good. Aesthetically, it isn't much to look at- sort of reminds me of the carryout places of my youth on Long Island, but its clean, there are booths and tables, a TV that's usually tuned to a Latin channel (mostly futbol, or soccer as we call it here in the States lol) and there's a cooler with drinks and desserts inside. I've never gotten either of those, but I'm sure they're what you'd expect. Service is always polite, and fast. Very fast. There's barely a wait time if you're just looking for chicken, which can be paired with rice, salad, grilled veggies or steak fries (which are very good). The wait for a steak dish is somewhat longer, but nothing ridiculous. They have a limited option for dipping sauces, and I get the impression those are handmade, as are the tortillas used for the fajitas and tacos. It is a family establishment and I get the impression there's more than one but whatever, it isn't a chain so far as I know. The food is erally good, the service is as well. If you're into this type of cuisine and you're nearby, this is the place. Look no further. read more

Great fajitas and chicken. My kids love the fried rice and the ability to order ahead online helps a ton.

1/2 Chicken w/ 2 sides. For less then $18 you get so much absolutely DELICIOUS food. The chicken is tasty and moist and the sides, wow. Love their green beans and if you ask for black beans & rice, it counts a one side. And it is yummy. Great value! Plenty of food for two people read more

A welcomed new kid on the block, Silvestre Chicken is located in the formerly situated KBQ Chicken in Fairwood Plaza. They specialize in rotisserie and authentic charbroiled chicken. Offering up everything from tacos, burritos, whole rotisserie chickens, to plantains, tilapia and many other items. All items are prepared within minutes of you placing your order. It's a modest dining area with only 5 or 6 tables, but you can also call your order in for take-out. The woman behind the counter taking the orders was very friendly and patient while taking the orders. She was happy to answer any questions about the menu I had. All of the menu items that I ate were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The rotisserie chicken took the cake for me! A smokey and well seasoned chicken, all cooked within its own juices to keep it moist and juicy. Please note that if you order the rice, it's not your average white rice, but yellow rice with peas and corn - very good flavor. The chicken burrito is big enough for two meals. They stuff so much yummy goodness inside it (chicken, rice, beans, lettuce, etc.) they can barely close it. Chipotle who? Lol The prices were also rather reasonable. Since the business is brand spanking new (at the time of me writing this review) they are running some food specials that you should check out. It's a welcomed addition to the area and I can pretty much guarantee with the amount of food that they give you, if you come in for lunch, you won't even think about dinner. What can I say, winner winner, chicken dinner! Bonus: The carry-out containers aren't the usual styrofoam you would normally get at a carry-out spot. Instead, they use the biodegradable containers that are eco-friendly! Every little bit counts. read more

The food is really good. But, be careful of your salt intake. The sauce on the burrito bowls is a little salty but still tasty. The shrimp tacos are to die for. Yum! read more

The worst lamb chops I've ever had. Firstly, they didn't even look like lamb chops. They looked like burnt thin steaks. It was very tough and chewy with very little seasoning. I also ordered plantains and yellow rice-they were good. Do not waste your time and money on Silvestre's lamb chops; Peru's Chicken's lamb chops are much better. read more

Silvestre Chicken! I'm not exactly sure how long it's been at this location but this is my first time actually going to this particular chain of Peruvian style rotisserie chicken restaurants. There are several in and around the areas I'm sure most of you know and still seem to have the same common theme which is obviously rotisserie chicken. I was blessed with the rank of elite Yelp person and I'm going to milk this thing till the cows come home! It's all I got! :-) So I ordered half Chicken special which is well for those of you who are slow half chicken, a wing breast a leg and thigh. The half Chicken special also comes with two sides. In an effort to make my meal quasi healthy I ordered green beans and my staple beans and rice. The total price for the special was $8 99, with a 99 cents upcharge for adding the beans to the rice. :-( I also ordered a couple of pupusas. One was just cheese the other was chicharron and pixel pork and cheese. Now I am new to pupusas and I took the opportunity to try the popular treat. Best way to describe a pupusas, well the Gringo way to describe a Pupusa, is it's like a small quesadilla made out of Masa. The Masa is filled with cheese and and roll flat and then fried and as a little crispy edging. The pupusas as you can see from the photos are round jobs and have good Browning on them. They're soft, pillowy jobs with a filling inside that is melted tastiness. Pupusas came with some type of coleslaw in a weird tomato sauce in little bags that were tied up and I couldn't untie them take a break in the sides of them and of course the tomato sauce liquid flew all over. :-( I wasn't a big fan of either of the slaw or the sauce. I'm not experienced enough with the pupusas to know if this is what you come with them normally but for me didn't do anything to make it taste better. The string beans house good flavor. You're not overcooked like some places do. They taste like they may be fresh they have a lot of life to them. They were seasoned but I like my string beans a little more seasoning then was put on them. But that's my taste. By themselves I think most people would say they are acceptable The beans and rice was also surprisingly season well! :-) the rice was cooked well, not crunchy and underdone and the beans what cooked through I didn't have that mealyness undercooked beans can have. And I think I taste a bit of pork seasoning? You know? That umami flavoring taste that you get from Porky goodness? It's alive in these beans! Better than other places but have similar menus. The chicken itself had a good flavor in the skin. The meat of the chicken was tender and because I had all four pieces I could sample each. Like most places with rotisserie chickens, the wings were a little dried out but the leg and the thigh were darn tasty. The breast was a little dry but that's what you get with chicken breast so I wasn't surprised at that. The skin once again was nice and cooked you know? Not rubbery like you'd sometimes get when the skin of the chicken is it treated respectfully. Enjoy the chicken. But it is a lot of chicken. In fact it's a lot of food! And for $8 99 it is a good deal. If I were to compare it to other similar rotisserie chickens I got to say I think that's Silvestre least in this case took a little more time preparing my food. On the flip side it took about 15 minutes for my food to be prepared which would be a negative, except the pupusas had to be prepared and cooked which is why I probably took so long. Other customers who just got rotisserie chicken came in after me got their food and were gone before I was probably because of the pupusas Curt So I'm getting Silvestri 5 star rating for now because I was impressed by the quality of the chicken the size of portions and overall I'll probably be back! Finally I don't know what's up with the weird mayonnaise-based sauce that they have. All of the Peruvian chicken places have it and I'm not sure about it personally. I understand it may be traditional and I'm all about tradition but I wish there was a different source of some type. Maybe some Cholula which I saw on the table but I took my food to go. Anyway give it a try! Boa saúde! Dictated but not read read more

Yes to Silvestre chicken in Bowie ! We ordered thru DoorDash food was made quickly and arrived hot. We ordered the red snapper platter and steak fajita. Both had a very good portion of food.

The restaurant is clean and the food is good. Silvestre's is my go to place when I want something different from my usual meals. The salad are big,filling and always fresh. On separate occasions I have tried the shrimp, chicken, and steak salads with ranch dressing and was not disappointed at all. A combination of chicken and shrimp and steak and shrimp is also really good. Also, I have tried the fajitas and quesadillas. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!! read more

Ok, so let's start with good and work to the bad lol... the salmon is AWESOME. I'm not sure that it's on the menu, but I called and asked for it and they had it. I was pleasantly surprised! I usually drive to Sardi's for salmon, but this is better and closer! Now... the shrimp taco ugh. As a California native, my expectations were not high... thank God lol. I've NEVER had a Mexican dish with no cumin! The shrimp was seasoned with salt and lots of it! Yuck! I came home and added avocado and salsa to it ... that made it edible, but never again. NOPE! I'll stick with the salmon! Lol (Salmon with salad and mixed veggies in attached pic). Update: The quality of the salmon has progressively gotten worse since I first ate it. Just tried it again a few nights ago. Never again! Back to Sardi's I go! read more

The food was just okay. My steak and shrimp were yummy. There is a sign that says sauce is extra, but I assumed you got one with your meal. I got one sauce after asking, but literally one.

I've been a fan of Silvestre from Suitland to Largo so I decided to try the one in my backyard. Well, it's more like down 450 and to the left, but you get the point. They need to work on the aesthetics of the restaurant. It's nothing to write home to mom about. It's very hot inside. They have make-shift air conditioners trying to keep the place cool to no avail. There are four tables and a tv if you prefer to eat in. No one ate in during my visit. Anyway, I ordered my usual, the fajita mixta, which includes steak, shrimp and chicken with peppers and onions served with rice and salad. It's on the specials list for $10.99. The usual price is $12.99. The fajita was absolutely delicious! It was well seasoned, plentiful and pretty much on point with the other locations. The yellow rice was cooked perfectly. I would have liked for the salad to be put in a different container but I quickly took care of that when I got home. I also ordered the sweet potato honey bun cake for dessert. They offer several varieties of honey bun cake ( rum, strawberry/lemon,chocolate, sweet potato, coconut, pineapple, etc). These cakes come from a black-owned company called the honey bun cake factory. It's sweet, moist and delicious. You have to try it! I'm glad Silvestre made their way to my neck of the woods. Check them out! read more

Best Charbroiled Chicken in the DC Area! When we eat out, we want to pay for food that's good, simple, and worth the money. Silvestre chicken is all of those things plus whole-hand licking good. This chicken is seasoned "to the bone" as my father-in-law put it. The food tasted like someone's grandmother was being held hostage in the kitchen. And they have quesadillas, enchiladas, salads, sandwhiches, and much more. You can feed a family of 4 for less than $20 bucks and it's good food! You can't get that at a fast food restaurant unless you want the grease and other issues. Highly recommended! read more
