This is my definition of a perfect bite--a little bit of everything. ​ ​ ​Lomo saltado is this carb lover's dream. ​ ​ ​It is a popular, traditional Peruvian dish (inspired by Chinese stir-fry). This stir fry typically combines marinated strips of thinly sliced beef steak with onions, tomatoes, french fries, and soy sauce and is served with rice. ​ ​ ​Rice and French fries - two of my favorite starches married together in a gravy-like substance. ​ ​ ​How do you get there to grab some? ​ ​ 1322 H St NE, Washington, DC 20002 ​Parking can be a bit challenging, especially for someone like myself who refuses to parallel park. ​ ​ ​You can take the circular bus, walk from Union Station, or take the X2 bus. ​ ​ ​ read more

Tigo’s Restaurant - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Tigo's was our go-to Peruvian neighborhood restaurant but has fallen short in the past year. A year ago prices for chicken with four sides were going for $27.99 but as of today on ChowNow (and other pick-up apps), that is $36.50. Surprisingly in the store, the price is $31.99. We also ordered steak with fried rice. And the meat was incredibly chewy, which made us realize the quality was cheap and inedible. Price on ChowNow was $20.55, in-person store price is $18. Compared to a year ago, this was $16. The mark-up is steep. There has been no chicken or beef shortages. The only saving grace was the yucca fries. We also tipped the workers for picking up our own food. All in all, for a dinner for two, this was close to $70. When I showed the owner the price discrepancy, he shrugged and said "the ownership has recently changed" and they'll take a look at the online ordering prices. I feel Iike this restaurant has been dishonest about their pricing throughout this past year but I have given them chances to change their prices to reflect what they post in-person to be current online. I feel like this is incredibly deceptive. I would not recommend coming here as there are better quality chicken restaurants (to dine in and pick up) in the city. read more

The place of business was well put together and clean. The food came out hot and less than 10 minutes which I was told ten. +++ The only issue I would have is, I sat down and started to eat and noticed. I had nothing to eat with!! No utensils!! Just make sure your customers are well taken care of. More vegetables would of been great being I did not get meat. The price was a dollar difference. I would go back for sure. read more

The food was decent and the staff was friendly and because Yelp makes you write longer reviews I'll say.... The food was decent and the staff was friendly read more

I cannot believe the service I got. I got the lomo saltado, which I have done several times before and they overcooked the meat, it was hard and chewy. they didn't cook it in any seasoning and then I found a hair in it. I called and told the person on the phone these things and she said I needed to ask for seasoning and then she hung up on me read more

Tigo's is a hidden treasure in the city. If you think you don't like Peruvian food it's because you haven't tried Tigo's yet. What you'll be most surprised about is that it is not only delicious but a very affordable place to eat. I am so fortunate to not only work close by but also my gym is right across the street so I visit quite often and this place never ever disappoints. read more

Annoyed that my meal was interrupted by the worker passive aggressively mopping the floor and sweeping AT MY TABLE and banging the chairs around to make it so unpleasant that I leave so they can close early. I get it, I came in half an hour before closing, because I just got in the city after traveling all day and chose to spend money here. But once I got my food, this woman gotta come sweeping AT MY TABLE not the whole other place that's greasy as hell? There's like 20 to 15 mins left? Needless to say I wish I could taste the food when it was hot, but it smelled like her smelly mop water a few inches from me and passive aggressive chair throwing (because apparently it makes you sweep better). So I gotta leave and taste them stale fries in another hour. I wish I was rude to workers or a Karen, to be honest; maybe the transaction might've justified the audacity. Honestly, could've just ate and be on my way peacefully without all of this. First and last time. read more

Was walking near my house and randomly happened upon this place. I decided to roll the dice and give this place a try. Man am I happy that I did! The Peruvian chicken tasted so good. They give generous portion sizes as well for the sides. I thought my fries were overcooked but I didn't care too much because the chicken was excellent. If you're looking to grab some quick roasted chicken on your way home this is a great spot. I will be at this spot again soon! read more

Veggie Saltado was very disappointing. Was same price almost as meat version. Food was fresh, but veggie options should come with plantains or something if same price as meat. Served standing hot on a plastic plate for a sit down order which was disappointing. read more

Love the rice dishes; our baby does too! Huge portions. The best pickup spot on H Street.

Happened to walk into this spot on July 4th weekend without knowing what to expect and can safely say that Tigo's is *amazing*. This is some of the best food I've had thus far this summer in D.C. Giovani, one of the chefs, was super helpful in choosing what to get and recommended the chicken arroz chaufa and the yuca side. I've never heard of the Peruvian-Cantonese stir fry technique (which makes Tigo's quite unique) but I can safely say it is 100% worth it. The arrroz chaufa was super filling (roughly two to three meals worth), the yuca fries were perfectly done, and the sauces provided in addition to the order were super flavorful. Upon speaking with Giovani a bit more, he explained that Tigo's is new to the H-Street area but is optimistic about its success in the near future. He explained that he and the other chefs take extra the time to ensure orders are done correctly and that the food Tigo's serves is of the best quality. That alone made our trip to Tigo's special - this is a little spot that is vying to become one of the best spots on H-Street. And Giovani took the time to speak with us about Tigo's journey. I most definitely can *taste* the potential Tigo's has, especially with a mindset like Giovani's. Definitely will be returning any time I'm in the H-Street area! read more

Delicious ceviche, arroz chaufa, and passionfruit drinks, for reasonable prices. Will definitely be making this a regular spot! So happy to have a Peruvian place on H St :) The mango drinks are also awesome!! read more

I am Peruvian, so I am used to the homemade cooking so I couldn't give it a 5 star for the food. The service was quick and the ambience was relaxing, even though they were blasting Regeton instead of traditional Peruvian music or at least some Salsa. :) We had the Lomo Saltado and it was 8/10 because the fries were super salty. The alfajor was not good at all and the Chicha Morada was in a bottle, not in the traditional Jarra. Aside from the alfajor and the Chicha not meeting my expeditions, I still recommend this spot. read more

The mango juice was not good. Tasted watery. The chicken was ok but not all that to go back again.

We stopped here for lunch. It was my first Peruvian food. I was pleased with the mild flavored food and clean environment. The staff are very polite and friendly. We ordered our food and it came right ontime. We did waited long. It was a good experience. read more

My friend and I went to H street as we were very intrigued by the food scene there. We stumbled upon Tigo's and made what may have been the best decision of our week. I got the half chicken with fries and salad and it was possibly the best half chicken I've ever had. I am from South Texas where when you get a BBQ half-chicken it's almost always dry and lacking in flavor and simply lackluster. However, Tigo's was the exact opposite. The chicken was cooked perfectly and so juicy, but the seasoning is where it shines. Usually when someone serves chicken on the bone, the flavor is only limited to the skin and the meat is most often bland and boring. But the meat on Tigo's chicken was full of flavor and every bite was packed with their seasoning and just begging you to keep eating. However, they don't even stop here. Tigo's also gives three sauces with the orders that just provide another super interesting and intriguing element to the dish. I cleaned every bone I was given just so I could make sure I got the most out of the chicken and enjoyed it to it's fullest. I very much enjoy trying new food places, and I am often pretty satisfied with the food that I receive. However, there is just something that is different about Tigo's. It's not just that the food was some of the best I have ever had, but the environment was also great. My friend and I were not sure of what to order, but Giovanni had an amazing, upbeat personality and helped us figure out what to get. After we ate and told him how amazing our food was, we talked to him again and he mentioned how young Tigo's was and that their main goal wasn't to just put food out quickly and easily, but to devote time to their cooking and really showcase their Peruvian-Cantonese fusion and love of food. Giovanni definitely made our visit to Tigo's memorable and I cannot wait until I get to eat his food again. Definitely try this place out if you get the chance. I made the mistake of not getting the Yuka fries, and when I tasted my friend's I realized everything I missed out on. So don't make the same mistake! read more

I absolutely love peruvian, and was so excited to see a place open off H street. Tigo's is well priced, fast, and absolutely worth it. I hope they will expand to allow ordering ahead or ordering via an app . I got the steak arroz + fried yuca and it was amazing! absolutely will be going again, 10/10 recommend read more
