This was my first time trying Peruvian food, and I had such a great time! We came during happy…read morehour, hoping to sit at the bar and enjoy the food menu, but unfortunately, the bar seats were full. We ended up sitting at a table and enjoyed a variety of dishes along with some happy hour drinks. The ambiance is clean, modern, and pretty cool. The service was fairly quick overall, and our food arrived fresh without much waiting. My first drink was the white sangria, which was well-balanced, moderately sweet, and refreshing. The wines we tried also had great flavor. The happy hour deals on the alcohol menu are especially generous, so I highly recommend taking advantage of them. The ceviche sampler included traditional, cremoso, and callejero. Each ceviche was unique and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the street-style ceviche, callejero. The tostones, or crispy fried plantains, were light and crunchy. My partner isn't a big fan of mayo-forward sauces, but he really enjoyed the crab salad topping because it paired well with the tostone. My favorite was the shrimp topping as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The conchitas a la parmesana was another interesting dish featuring seared scallops. They were grilled with a creamy Parmesan sauce and served with ciabatta. I found that the sauce was a little overpowering and took away from the scallop itself, but I really enjoyed eating it with the ciabatta. Lastly, we ordered two empanadas: one chicken and one made with a mix of sirloin and tenderloin. The dough was a little too oily for my taste, but it was thin and flaky. The chicken and beef fillings had slightly different seasonings and textures, and both were enjoyable. If I could add one thing, I wish our server had explained more about the menu or drinks when she asked whether it was our first time there. She also wasn't around the table consistently, which made it a little difficult to order additional drinks and dishes. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal, and I'm glad we came here. I'd love to come back for brunch or another happy hour!

We had wanted to come here for their price fix brunch. The food was pretty good. The tuna tartare…read moretacos were light and fresh. The croquettas were flavorful, crispy outside, soft inside. The tostones were pretty good where the chicken salad was the best. The causa was alright (reminded me of a chicken potato salad but fancy because it was layered). The flan was delicious. Ambience was nice, clean, spacious. There were two other tables in our area and this was around 4 PM on a saturday. Service wasn't the best. Yes we came about 15 minutes before brunch was over, but our server greeted us once, came back right before 4 (when brunch was over) but zipped past us telling us he'll be right with us, and the when he came back to take our order, it was a few minutes after 4 meaning we missed the price fixe brunch and brunch altogether. The restaurant did comp out dessert but we had intended to come for the brunch. Would we come back? Maybe.

I had high hopes for El Secreto De Rosita given the unique concept of blending Palestinian and…read morePeruvian cuisine, but the experience fell well short of expectations. The food was average at best and significantly overpriced for the quality. We paid $30 each for ají de gallina and arroz con pollo--both dishes lacked depth and were nowhere near worth that price point. The ceviche ($27) was bland and underwhelming, missing the brightness and flavor you expect from a staple like this. Even the chicha morada felt like a stretch at an extra $10. The issues weren't limited to Peruvian dishes. The kafta sandwich was dry and completely lacking flavor, and a simple salad my wife ordered came with poorly seasoned dressing. Overall, the kitchen seemed to miss the mark on both sides of the fusion concept. To make matters worse, two classic Peruvian dishes--anticuchos and jalea mixta--were unavailable. The explanation given was that they had run out after Saturday night service, which is hard to justify when we visited at 1:30 PM on a Sunday. The restaurant was nearly empty at that time, which in hindsight should have been a warning sign. All in, we spent $225 for a family of four including tip, which is more than double what the experience was worth. I would rate this place 2 out of 5 stars and would not return.

Fall off the bones and very delicious. I loved the nicely roasted chicken skin as well. Fried rice was good. I have had better fried rice at other places. Yuka fried with their green spicy sauce went really well. Nice and crispy. Ambiance is alright. It's a self serve place like most of the other Peruvian restaurants. Plenty of parking space.

Dear Chicken Loco Latin American Cuisine * Chillum,…read moreManagement, 6587 Ager road Hyattsville, MD 20782 United States +1 (301) 422-0087 I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an experience I had at one of your locations. I recently placed a family order at your restaurant, and when I was ready to pay, I was informed that there would be a $3 additional charge if I chose to pay with a credit card. I was told that if I paid in cash, I would only be charged the regular price. When I asked the cashier about this policy, she stated that the new owner had implemented this charge. I believe this kind of fee is unfair and deceptive. Customers should be clearly informed before ordering that there will be an extra charge for using a card, and this fee should be prominently displayed--if it's allowed at all. This practice feels like an attempt to squeeze extra money from customers without transparency. It comes across as dishonest and exploitative. I urge you to look into this location and ensure that all charges are properly disclosed and fair. Adding surprise fees at the register does not reflect well on your brand and damages customer trust. I would appreciate a response explaining whether this is an official company policy or a local decision, and what steps will be taken to address it.

Yay? The ceviche was tuna and had so much sinew that after two pieces I gave up. The skewers came out and were so sauced up that you couldn't taste anything, and they were luke warm at best. Lastly, the scallops had so much Parmesan that that is all you taste. Let's just say that I couldn't stay after that, we paid and decided to go to a good restaurant, maybe McDonald's?

This restaurant is known for their ceviche. So, Ceviche lovers are welcome. We felt that the menu was a bit misleading with the description of the dishes. I ordered a so-called chicken soup which it said chicken, cilantro and vegetables. When the soup came, there was no chicken meat or vegetables but it came with chicken feet , liver, heart and other body parts that I was not fond of and a couple peas. The flavor of the broth and rice was bad. We let our waitress (Dilsa) know and she sent the manager to talk to us. He kindly took this item off the bill. Others plates were ok. My aunt order a fish plate with a seafood sauce (this sauce was delicious!!!!) unfortunately the fish was fried but it came saggy. The other fish we ordered was very bland. The sirloin plate with rice , fried egg and fried plantain and french fries was good. The meat was very tender-also delicious! The piña colada was on point and the chicha morada was also good. We ordered coffee and it came freshly brewed! If you come here, make sure you ask questions to your server. The manager told us that they were working on updating the menu.
