Peruvian Restaurants near Chevy Chase, MD

“Ordered to-go using Uber eats. Food was delicious. We got the whole chicken with 3 sides (plantains, rice/beans, chaufa) and an extra soup. To-go containers were filled all the way. Price point was also pretty good. Would order again and recommend.“

“I’ve been to a lot of Peruvian restaurants outside of Peru, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better ceviche. Good chilli, citrus and cilantro. Went for traditional ceviche, pisco sour, tiger milk shot, empanadas and alfajores. All very good quality, would definitely go back“

“Amazonia is a great bar/restaurant. Daniel was a great server and recommended great veggie options. The food and drinks came out promptly with great presentation and the upstairs staff was all really friendly. Can’t say the same for the downstairs hostess who wouldn’t let me go up to Amazonia without asking her and then couldn’t find my reservation after asking me the details 3 times and not being able to pull it up. After she pulled it up she said none of my party was there even though everyone but me was there. Maybe it’s a communication thing between upstairs and downstairs but for such an expensive restaurant, the hostess shouldn’t try and fight you as you’re walking in.“

“Delicious food and excellent service! The ‘Ceviche Clásico’ which is offered with the fish of the day is deliciously and freshly prepared. I also recommend the ‘Concolón’: a crispy fried rice pot which is prepared table side…very tasty! We capped our lunch off with the ‘Suspiro Limeña’ for dessert and some Pisco Sours to drink. All delicious.“

“My wife and I had dinner on our anniversary and the food and service was outstanding. The menu is full of outstanding options and the atmosphere and vibe is great for date night or dinner with friends. Definitely one of the best restaurants in DC!“

“The gentleman behind the counter was extremely friendly and helpful and accommodating. The Peruvian Chicken was fabulous as well as the Rice with Cilantro and Lime and the Slaw Salad mixed with the Tomato, Cilantro and Onion Jalapeno. The food was fantastic.“

“Our visit to La Canela was truly phenomenal! The flavors of the food were simply incredible, and the portions were generous. I opted for the Seco de Cabrito (Lamb shank) while my wife savored the Arroz con Mariscos (seafood rice). To start, we enjoyed the Agua de Tigre appetizer, which set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. Every dish we tried was exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. It's safe to say that we will be returning to La Canela without hesitation to indulge in more of their delicious offerings. It was a culinary experience worth repeating!“

“Very good service and kindness from the person who served us (Ariana) for the first time we ate here! And the truth is excellent! Delicious food! The anticuchos were great and “Everything was super delicious, thank you for your attention! We will be back soon ????“

“Delicious food. Fast and friendly service. Great prices. Portions are generous. We typically get the whole chicken with 3 sides and it's enough for two people to have dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day. Perfect for busy weeknights.We were devastated when Huacatay closed, but we're very relieved that once again there is top notch chicken again. Highly recommend.“

“Bar tenders were delightful, the view of the Capitol at night was spectacular and the food was so good I went back the following night to eat the same thing again! Chef stopped at the tables to check on his guests and thank them for coming!“

“I’ve been eating here since I was 8 and every time I return to DC this is my first stop. No other chicken place compares. I dream about the dark meat + white sauce + Inca cola combo and would gladly have it for my last meal on earth. Beyond grateful for this epic institution ?“

“While I haven't visited this restaurant in-person, my orders through GrubHub have been on point!! The chicken is flavorful and seasoned well, and juicy. The sides are filling and are also very good. I got the brussel sprouts and fries. The brussel sprouts are coated with a carmelized type of ingredient that packs a big much. The only negative about them is that they are usually pretty big which makes it hard to eat them whole like normal sized ones, so keep a knife handy to cut them smaller. The fries were also very good. I must say the sauces are probably the best I've had out of all similar chicken spots, especially the green sauce!! Oh my, my, my!!! I just had them for lunch today and I'm really contemplating on ordering them for dinner - they are just that good!“

“BEST FOOD of our entire visit. I don't care how far away you are, this is worth the drive, the uber, the taxi, whatever. The flavors are unlike anything else you can find and the thought of this restaurant makes me hungry all over again. If I were to only eat at one place for the rest of my life it would be this one. Call it hyperbole, but eat there and tell me that I'm wrong. You're gonna look at me and tell me that I'm wrong?? She came down in bubble, Doug. Grow up. And please try this.“

“It is a nice place to taste delicious Peruvian food, the attention is very good, very good service, everyone is very friendly.The only bad thing is having to share a table with pets. I believe in my opinion every living being should have its place and a restaurant should not be a place for pets (dogs ?) this weekend I had to share with one..I love pets...but in their proper place...“

“Although it was mostly empty when we visited on a weekday evening, the venue and convenient location are appealing. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to like. Being first time here, and not knowing the regular portions and size of the chicken, we ordered the whole chicken family meal with 3 sides. It was much more than we could handle. The chicken was good. I think he gave us an extra piece (leftover?) and perhaps that's why we had so much. The Brussels Sprouts was the star of the place - sweet and savory, delicious. 5 stars! We changed our mind at the last minute, and decided to eat in. Can't say it's the cold temperature, but the chicken was cold to the touch for some reason. Maybe it was the extra piece we got. Regardless, it's worth a trip, and will visit again when I have a craving for Peruvian cuisine.“

“For flavor, friendly staff, and down to earth settings, El Fuego is worth a visit. I’ve been going there for about 4 years now and always have a great experience. It’s a small place with limited seating but if you’re with family or friends you’ll enjoy. The setting is very laid back so go for the food. You’ll be glad you did. This time I tried the pollo tallarin saltado while my wife had the arroz con pollo. All very good.“

“The food is tasty and always serviced with a smile. I've been here for take out and the staff is always friendly. Sometimes I'll wait for a few minutes while they cook my food and it's always a joy to watch them. They recently started a chicken and side special on Wednesday night that I look forward to. It's a great way to get some delicious chicken without getting the whole bird.“

“I visited Chicken + Whiskey for the first time recently after hearing great things about it for years. I don't know why it's taken me this long to visit. The 14th St location has a fast casual chicken spot in the front and a "hidden" whiskey bar in the back, behind a commercial freezer door. I visited for happy hour on a Friday at 5 PM and we were the first people there. We enjoyed the cocktails and food, especially with the happy hour discount. Happy hour runs Mon-Fri, 5-7 PM and includes $2 off all beers and arepas, $3 off all cocktails and sanguiches/wraps, $9 pisco punch, and $15 beer + wings combo. We had the Pisco Punch, Squash It, and Sweater Weather cocktails which were all tasty and $9/$10 on happy hour. We got the wings and beer combo and the Borracho Wrap, recommended by the bartender. The wings were good if a little dry, and actually came with all 3 sauces on the side. The wrap ($10.25 on HH) was excellent, the perfect balance of textures and flavors. Very impressed. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, we had good experience, but there are a couple opportunities to improve. The cocktails were clearly fall cocktails and out of season now that it's April. The beer + wings combo was a bit disappointing because it was only for the Tecate beer (not any beer). The 3.75% surcharge is also unwelcome. Finally, for a first timer, the food/drinks situation was a little confusing. Before visiting, we thought we would be able to order from the full menu at the back bar, but it actually has a limited food menu. Then, the door to the bar has a sign saying you can't take food and drinks back and forth between the front chicken shop and back bar, which gave us pause. The happy hour menu mentions a discount on "sanguiches" but the main drinks/food menu doesn't use this term. And while the menu design is very stylish, it's also very busy and a little hard to fully read and parse.“

“Been here dozens of times over the years. And the rumors are true. Easily the best pollo a la brasa place in the area. Chicken and sauces are reliably excellent and very reasonably priced. Feeding a family of four with room to spare for $22 is something you can't even do at McDonalds these days. Sides are limited in variety, but they're ok. Only gripe is the fried yuca is often chewy, hard, and/or dry. But skip that menu item, and you'll be fine.“

“If you are looking for the true flavor of a good ceviche, I recommend this place, it is the true authentic flavor that I hope to have on my palate from a ceviche and not to mention the cocktails, I really loved them and especially one called la freckle and The Peruvian drink Pisco is delicious. We will return to this place from now on it will be in my favorite restaurants. The service is all very friendly and helpful. The bartender Luis Number One is very friendly and quick in preparing your drinks. He is a super bartender☝? at the bar I think. who serve you better?“

“4 stars for 4 reasons1. Everything we order was good! From main entrees, appetizers and desserts.2. Price is good for everything we ordered3. Quantity is good portion for the money4. The food came out relatively fast and warm!Minus 1 star because the stew we ordered was kinda salty! One other reason for the deduction is the customer service provided! Out of the 2 hours we were here our water was filled once, that’s it. Our server was kinda mute and didn’t provide the good service we would have wanted. Below average service for.“

“After an ISACA-GWDC event at Amazon Events Center, a group of attendees had happy hour/dinner at Peruvian Brothers. Most of us sat at the bar with overflow to the tables. Michael and other staff were friendly, hospitable, and efficient. My fiancé enjoyed the Chilcano cocktail, a pisco cocktail made with ginger ale and lime juice, and a Yuengling Lager. I enjoyed a Maracuya Pisco Sour Slushie, a passion fruit flavored frozen pisco sour,Pisco Punch, a pisco cocktail made with pineapple juice and lemon juice, and Sangria made with red wine, cognac, and orange juice. All of the cocktails were fruity and refreshing. While waiting for our food, we were given a small bucket of peruvian popcorn. My fiancé and I shared an order of crispy Calamari served with an aioli. Between the Lomo Saltado with Tallarin (Noodles) and Lomo Saltado with Rice and French Fries, we liked the latter more. Other people in our party enjoyed Cheese Empanadas, various sandwiches (including Chicarron Sandwich and Triple Sandwich), Chicken, and Yuca Fries.Vegetarian options: Cheese, Spinach & Cheese, or Impossible Beef Empanadas, Triple Sandwich, Vegetable Saltado, All Sides, All Desserts“

“Our family are really happy to see there’s a good Peruvian chicken open in our neighborhood! Went to try it today and we ordered a whole chicken with 2 sides of Yuca and potatoes salad. The chicken is really tasty and inside is juicy too! Sides are delicious also. Will definitely recommend! They also have Kung Fu Tea in the same store too:)“

“Got the 1/4 chicken and 2 sides. Chicken was fantastic! Great flavor even on the white meat, not dry at all. Side were tasty really liked the Brussels. They had the real Madrid game on, but the atmosphere was nice, family friendly. Star was very helpful.“

“Tiny rotisserie chicken shop in a good location. There’s even a few tables outside on a cute patio. The food was delicious, can’t recommend the plantains enough. We placed a to go order in person and had had our food in less than 2 minutes. After a 5 minute walk the food was still steaming hot and super fresh when we got home. And the pricing is some of the best in the area. The staff all seemed super friendly. This is a new repeat spot for a quick and tasty weeknight meal.“

“The food was very good, I loved the salmon! It was well seasoned and well cooked, and very tasty.The chicken was also very nice too along with the lamb. All the dishes I had were lovely, It was some of the best food I’ve had in a while. I highly recommend to try this place out, great food, great service and a great price.“

“I love Don Pollo! I seem to live really close to one every time I move Their Peruvian chicken is just sooo tasty and you can smell just how good it tastes from the moment you step through the door. The staff greeted me when I walked in and took my order right away. I didn't have to wait long for my order. I ordered their Half chicken with two sides. My two sides were Chaufa rice and plantains! While the sides were really good, The star of the show, without a doubt, is their Peruvian chicken. Marinated to perfection with a blend of Peruvian spices and slow-roasted to achieve that golden, crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy and flavorful. Portion sizes are generous! I ate this meal for dinner and then lunch the next day! This location also has parking right out front and you can sit inside to eat if you want. They have small tables that are minimally decorated. Overall, will be back here again!“

“This is a very good place to enjoy nicaraguan food, try every one of the options every time...you can enjoy different type of food. Today at ate a very delicious "baho nicaraguense" , two days ago, I enjoy a delicious "sopa de queso"....“
