Opted for the "family style" set up which consisted of a while chicken + 2 large sides. I opted for the Parmesan-garlic french fries and beans/rice combo. The fries were niiiice and crispy; full of crunchy-garlicky flavor. Surprisingly the rice was good to, with its mixture with the beans. The rice was more like a type of sticky rice, I liked. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful, you can really taste the wood fire-taste, this came with two different dipping aioli sauces. While neither of them were spicy, I preferred the orange sauce because it had a thicker consistency. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, they are not serving their famous steak...I will definitely try this food truck again for that. Happy Friday!

Shredded salad was tasty. Steak was a bit tough. You get a choice in how the egg is cooked. Fries were typical. Food was good but nothing really overwhelmed me in terms of flavor.

Good size place with a small area as you as you walk-in and a larger space for at least 6 tables+…read moreand a bar area with 4 stools. Nice set-up but they are still awaiting their liquor license (as of Jan. 2026), so they only serve non-alcoholic juices, sodas and water (for now) and hot teas on the weekends. The servers are very sweet and really know the food and menu. However, I did observe they are either a bit inexperienced, or the place is still getting things in order-- as they carry the food out without trays. I observed one server carrying a soup very close to the rim with bare hands. Now, for the food. An excellent array of varied dishes from different regions of Peruvian cuisine. My husband and I have tried our fair share of Peruvian food both in Peru and across various U.S. states. It's our go-to-food. The food here had its highs and lows. The Good & The Bad: Grilled octopus was delicious with a generous portion of everything served on sizzling skillet. Chorros à la chalaca (fresh mussels) served with pico. Both had a lovely presentation and savory flavors. Lomo saltado (sautéed beef tenderloin pieces) with fettuccine à la Huancaina served over a bed of fettuccine in a spicy cheese sauce (IYKYK). The Huancaina sauce was on point as was the sauce for the lomo--The (lomo) beef however was not. Beef was overcooked and tough to chew. And being a Peruvian spot the Classic Ceviche was a work of art but the flavor and the spice-level was lacking. Finally, I asked for a side of sauce and was charged for 2 oz. of sauce. They also tacked on a service charge fee for a table of two. Overall, the ambiance was nice and friendly but the food coming out of the kitchen did not warrant a $130 bill. Honestly, the prices are comparable for this kind of food. But I would expect better product and less hidden fees. I hope this small business will keep improving I'd love to give it another chance once they work out the kinks-- but judge for yourself!

The Arroz chaufa had not one single piece of chicken in there & the egg was fake egg in teensy squares you could barely see. Tasted like tofu. How can rice taste so wrong. I hope I don't get fried rice sickness! The tamale had a big chunk of very dry chicken breast in it and nothing else. The flavor of it was off. I took one bite & threw it away. I love Peruvian food & our friend from Peru has cooked all these dishes for us for many years but she went back to Peru. Do not eat here.

So, we wandered to Mayta's. Wow. 1. Not sure why in 3 years living near Frederick we had not gone before. (my bad) 2. wow The food is simply amazing. Everything from black beans to meat was prepared.

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.

Food is really good. They give large portions for the price you pay. Definitely good Peruvian food…read more However the service is terrible. We have been there several times and the service is one of the worst. I feel the service is bad because they include 18% gratuity to the bill so the server do not have to give good service because they are guarantee 18% gratuity. I don't feel the restaurants should be including gratuity unless it's a big party and even with that the restaurant has to ensure they give good service for the guarantee gratuity. We ask for our bill 3 times over the 20 minutes. I also think the servers should always asked if bills need to be separated up front.

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.

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.
