the front of a restaurant

EEKS, not sure what this Silvestre Chicken is all about, but I regret giving this location a try! Their menu is pretty extensive, offering various appetizers, salads, rotisserie chicken, quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, subs, and various sides. I am usually a fan of their steak fajitas, but for some reason, whether it was a user error or what, I ended up ordering one of the Silvestre's Platters, the Silvestre Steak (aka, carne asada) - this was a grilled New York steak with a choice of two sides - rice & salad or rice & black beans; I opted for the latter. The steak, while large in size, was mostly fat; the parts that were edible were well-done, which I didn't mind, but you know how NY Strips are - the more you cook them, the more tough it gets! I wasn't a fan of the seasoning that they added to the steak, as it made it have an off type of flavor. The side of rice had a strange taste to them, and I remember that I originally was a fan of it; the black beans were in this thick sauce that was super gloopy; it kind of reminded me of beans out of a can, where it has that thick dark liquid where you usually rinse the beans from. 1 of each regular aji and spicy aji sauce comes with, but I swapped mine out for the spicy aji; I noticed that this place isn't too stingy with giving you some extra sauces, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the sauces didn't help the meal. The plastic fork and knife didn't cut it, literally - super hard to cut the steak, so unless you have actual silverware with you, you're out of luck. Just wasn't a fan of the food that I ordered, and I'm still feeling in some kind of way for spending almost $17 for this; most of it was tossed, and I wished I had gone somewhere else. However, there aren't much options in the area to begin with! Service was friendly and efficient. There are no seating inside, and this place is strictly a carry-out. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +avoid the food +friendly service +no seating inside +plenty of parking in shared lot

1/4 Chicken with salad and fries

I am a fan of two others locations of Silvestre Chicken as well. This location was crowded and service slow. We should have called ahead our order. I order the roasted chicken, salad and fries. It was okay just like most of these types of restaurants in area. My husband ordered the fried whole red snapper and fries. He said it was cooked good but bland for commercial sales. Definitely works when we don't feel like cooking at home!

Bug on food
J A.

Last time i buy from here, besides getting my order wrong. (Its right on the receipt) portions have gotten smaller but the bug i found on my food is the nail on the coffin for me. Avoiding from now on, do not recommend. Hopefully they see this and try to clean up.

Chicken and Shrimp Platter
Kei K.

This place has potential! I ordered the chicken and shrimp platter but it rang up as a fajita. Nevertheless, it came with chicken, 3 shrimps, rice, peppers and onions, tortillas and a 'salad'. I would've easily given this place 4 stars if the chicken had a bit more seasoning and they gave more shrimp. The plate looks full in my pics but it was sitting on a mountain of rice. Which would be ok if I were a rice lover. After awhile eating it (disclaimer: I eat a bit slow) the chicken got dry. Also, CALL-A-HEAD!!! No complaints that they cook to order, but it was about a 20min wait. The sauce that comes with it is good, but you have to pay for it. In my opinion they should be free for a $16 plate! I would go back.

Ordered through Uber Eats. The order had my name & order on bag but once i opened it, the order was completely wrong. I ordered a half chicken, side of beans and I received yuca fries with NO CHICKEN

Food full of flavor. Fast. Best roasted chicken. The yucca fries are great. Small little hole in the way, but powerful flavor.

Best authentic, flavorful, true to its form Latin food! I recommend the chicken burrito, the Pollo asado and their pupusas!

Delicious Wood-Fired Peruvian Chicken!…read more Sardis is a very good option to enjoy the typical Peruvian grilled chicken. The seasoning is very good, the skin is crispy with its saltiness of thefried potatoes are outstanding. Although the fries and yucca are great side options, Michael two size are the brussels sprouts mixed vegetables and the black beans with white rice options! Both side dishes are outstanding!! flavors really come through and compliment. the chicken very well. A frequent the Clinton, Maryland location, the most, but I really like the staff here. The staff is very friendly and pleasant, everyone seems to know each other even with the clientele that makes the experience when buying the food very homely. The vibe of the place is very spacious, comfortable and clean. Nothing but good things to say about Sardis and this location. Actually....Some of the best pollo la brasa around.....and there are plenty in the DMV. Good selection of sides, and a full menu of other Latino dishes, too. It's a serving line style setup, so you get to see the food and direct the server on all the items you're interested in when ordering. This place, specifically this location, gets a double thumbs-up and recommendation in my book! The food is fantastic, and the service is great!!

The food service and ambiance is good here the person who serves is super good and he is super…read morehelpful and nice

Food here is so great!! It really doesn't look like much (Suitland doesn't look like much!) but…read moreit's a really good choice. Portions are generous and I could've made multiple meals out of it. Both of the dishes were well done. I like the sauce they give you for the chicken. It was a bit of a wait but I think if you set your expectations right- meaning expect 20-30 min wait - be zen and practice patience, you could really enjoy it! Ambiance isn't too much to write home about - not a trendy place by DC standards but it's not bad. It's air conditioned and the bathroom was clean. Parking is right out front and you can probably even see your car eating inside. Someone even came by and asked how our food was and it's not really a sit down restaurant (you order at the front on a giant screen). I'd come back again if in the area!

I love me some Silvestre's because it's always a hit. Always full of flavor and they don't skimp…read moreyou on the meat. The employees are patient and professional.I pretty much always order the same thing, mixed fajitas with rice and black beans. The place is clean however the parking lot still sucks but it's better than the old building they had across the street. The food here tastes better than a lot of sit down Mexican restaurants and it's more reasonable. They do have indoor seating if you want to done in. I would recommend calling in your order for faster service, as they do tend to be busy most of the day. I'm not sure if this is a female owned establishment but I only see all women working at this location. They do have an app now - which they didn't before. Remember to order through the app because you can't gain point or rewards using your receipt after a purchase. It seems as if you can only get rewarded for your purchases if you pls e your order through the app.
