“Dc staple... a must to Sample the flavors of DC“

“I believe there used to be a different restaurant in this spot, but I visited this one a while back and found the food just as delicious as the previous place, even though it’s a different menu. The portions and prices were reasonable, and I appreciated the polite service from an older gentleman.“

“I was very pleased by the quality and variety of the coffee and pastry selection, and the prices are really fair for this city. A couple things to note: (1) This cafe is located inside a hostel, so the sitting area is a bit more run down than some of the images depict. There are a lot of suitcases around, etc. (2) The wait for our order was relatively long. This isn’t the fault of the barista. She was very friendly and helpful. But there’s only so much she can do when she’s 5 orders deep and the only person working. I really felt so bad there wasn’t another employee to help her, especially considering the place seems to be pretty popular with locals and travelers alike.

I highly recommend the cro’gel (croissant + bagel) which seems to be their signature dish.“

“Anna was the EXCELLENT lady behind the counter and the one who baked our 36 little cocktail party empanadas fresh for my pick up. I called her 2 days in advance so she could plan. They were absolutely beautiful (design and taste). You should all buy her 36 package (you can choose 3 different fillings of 12 each and we did). I will be coming back here. I hope they don't ever close down. The Dupont Circle location shut down because I think the building owner is renovating so they had to leave.“

“Just went in to check out the food, and ended up ordering the chef's bowl (lettuce, rice, chaufa, pico, potato, guacamole and brisket. It was tasty. The brisket was tender and had some flavor. The potato could use a hint of salt, but overall, it was good. We also tried the shrimp empanadas, they were nicely fried, creamy on the inside, overall pretty good. The yuca fries were nicely fried, but had no seasoning.
They're very light with the seasoning, but I'd come back to try more of the menu.“

“Tried for the first time and was blown away. So good.“

“Mi esposo y yo fuimos hoy por primera vez. Las atenciones fueron espectaculares y la comida riquísima. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias a Rocio por tratarnos tan bien.“

“Today, my husband and I visited Peruvian Brothers and the experience was simply wonderful! We were warmly welcomed by the owner himself, who kindly took the time to serve us personally. Even though we arrived just 40 minutes before closing, the service was impeccable from start to finish, attentive and full of care.
We ordered the Lomo Saltado a lo Pobre and, without exaggeration, it was one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever had. Every bite felt like being transported straight to Peru, a true culinary journey.
We also had the chance to chat a little with the owner, his wife, and their son, and they were all so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special and memorable.
Without a doubt, Peruvian Brothers has become one of my favorite restaurants. We’ll be coming back many, many times to relive this amazing experience. Highly recommended!“

“I'm in LOVE with the food options at this ghost kitchen... Not sure why some commenters are complaining about lack or restauants. To be clear, there are NO brick and mortar restaurants at this location. Perhaps Uber Eats or Grubhub isn't clear .... But it's very obviously a ghost kitchen when you pull up.
It's hard to pick a favorite among so many amazing options, but Tartara might just be my favorite. In particular, all the Venezuelan eats are delicious. As a brasilian, I grew up eating a lot of shared food and sides (with slightly different names) to Venezuelans. So believe me when i say, this is legit and you can tell“
