Peruvian Restaurants near Bethesda, MD

“The food was incredible. Our server, Ana, was attentive and provided an excellent recommendation of the anticicho de corazon. The ceviche sampler was excellent. I loved the traditional and my husband liked the creamy one. Pisco sours were delicious. Literally every bite was delicious! I wasn’t expecting it.“

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!“

“It's impossible not to compare Don Pollo to other local Peruvian chicken places, like Crisp & Juicy or el Pollo Rico. Because of that there's a high bar set. The chicken is fresh, juicy, and well seasoned, but I'd have preferred a more crispy skin. The black beans and rice lacked flavor, definitely needed salt. The fries were where they lost me. They weren't fresh, weren't seasoned, weren't hot, and worst of all, they were kind of soggy. The sauces were very good. You get a bright green spicy sauce, that seems to be made from fresh peppers, perhaps jalapeño. Then there's a mayo based creamy orange colored sauce. Frankly because the chicken is so well seasoned, I don't think it needs sauce, but it's nice to have the option.“

“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!“

“Best Peruvian chicken, everything else is just charbroil chicken. Nothing compares to the flavor. The only dislike I have is that the beans count as a side, and rice counts as another side. Rice and bean should be a single side, in my opinion. What do guys think? Other than that, it would've been a 5 star rating.“

“Don Pollo is a hidden gem that delivers big on flavor and comfort. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rotisserie chicken sets the tone for a satisfying meal. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a perfectly crisped skin, and the sides—especially the, black beans & rice, and the pico de gallo garden salad—are flavorful and generously portioned. I even had to splurge for a beef empanada appetizer and it was crispy on the outside with a very savory season filling that hit the right spot!

The space is clean and welcoming, with a casual vibe that’s great for families or a quick solo bite like I had. Service is fast and friendly, and even though they were busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly. I especially appreciated the variety of sauces—each one adds a unique kick to the meal.

Whether you're grabbing takeout or dining in, Don Pollo hits the mark for quality, value, and taste. Highly recommend if you're craving Latin-inspired comfort food done right!“

“Bonito lugar, la comida muy rica“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“Cool little place inside an old auto repair garage. Very informal, prices are reasonable for DC. Panang chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious, full flavored with a hot kick! French fries were also very good. The rotisserie half chicken was just OK, a bit bland and it was reheated in a microwave. So we thought it might have been cooked many hours previously.“

“Muy buena atención, la comida deliciosa ✌🏻✌🏻“

“Nice! The food was good and a very accommodating staff.“

“Sopa de gallina muy buena Lomo saltado“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“Me & my mom went with my daughter & little cousin my daughter was really fussy && yissel went out of her way to make her happy and we had exceptional service. Yissel was so sweet! she goes above and beyond customer service she is a great person! She deserves a raise! 1000% would be back bc of her!“

“I’m a little late with this review… but a few days ago, we ordered lunch here because all my coworkers couldn’t stop raving about how good the food is. I called in, and the woman who picked up (later found out her name is ASIA) was so kind and patient despite our large order, which included multiple menu items. I also really appreciated how she read back our order to make sure everything was correct and nothing was missed.

When I was checking out, I noticed there was no option to leave a tip??? I asked for her name so I could at least give my girl Asia a shoutout for her AMAZING customer service and positive energy. She made me feel so welcomed from start to finish. Asia, if you’re reading this, you are the best ☺️👏🏼✨“

“Very good chicken. Carne asada excellent also.“

“El restaurante está retomando a los clientes anteriores y atrayendo a nuevos porque la administración anterior era bastante mediocre. El personal que atiende es muy amable, atento y servicial pero el dueño actual es altanero y arrogante no solamente con el personal pero también con los clientes. Hoy tienen un evento pero el ego de ese individuo no le permite ser humilde y amable para informar a los clientes que solamente se pueden hacer pedidos para llevar. En vez de eso, mira a uno por encima del hombro y con desprecio. Pésimo trato que debe comunicarse. Solamente se espera eso de alguien que no sabe nada de nada.“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“super rrico todo buena atención“

“Love to join them again“

“The food is served cafeteria style. They have a wide array of selections... From chicken to beef to fish. They have pupusas, tortas, etc. The pricing for the food is reasonable. Be on the lookout for deals! The atmosphere was okay. My only gripe was that the music was too loud.“

“Realmente satisfecha. Para mi, uno de los mejores restaurantes peruanos en Maryland. Su comida marina como pulpo a la parrilla, o Jalea barra brava, o su leche de conchas Negras, de lejos el mejor Plato que he probado en Estados Unidos. La causa limeña con su toque unico de limon hacen una experiencia gastronomica invidable. Y si tu cumpleaños quieres celebrar, el mejor lugar … su ambiente y su caluroso happy birthday te hace sentir definitivamente…. Como en casa 🥰 Gracias por tan inolvidable celebracion de Cumpleaños. Barra Brava - Burtonsville“

“Hey, did you know this place is great? I didn't before, but boy do I now. Easy to order online/over the phone, staff is very helpful when you are trying to order for another and don't understand their request, and they are just nice when you walk in. From the moment I thought about ordering to paying for my food, I have nothing but compliments. 10/10“

“The green sauce and yuca.“

“One of my favorite places in the DMV, I just love this place, and yes I get the same thing every time I go. My daughter and I get the half roast chicken, white rice topped with pinto beans, and the mixed salad with ranch dressing. The chicken is moist and slightly smoky from the charcoal, the pinto beans are slightly buttery atop the fluffy white rice. Lastly, the mixed green salad is fresh and crunchy with the slightly tangy ranch dressing. It comes with two sauces: yellow which is mild and creamy and the green which is spicy and refreshing. Did I mention I love the place “I’m loco for chicken Rico” don’t tell them I said that.“

“Just had the chicken sampler with 4 sides. It was delicious and more than enough to feed 4 hungry people. Will definitely order from them again. Joann Levine“

“Food is awesome 🔥🔥🥂Good service and I will be back soon🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥“

“When ordering to go from their specialty menu check your food before you leave. I order (2) salmon with brussels sprouts and chaufa rice. When I got home what I saw was five pieces of brussels sprouts, two carrots and a portion of rice for a toddler. At least the salmon was a decent proportion. Not worth the money.“

“Good food! Fast service, friendly and Courteous staff.“

“Fantastic chicken! You can't imagine how good until you eat some.“

“They just catered an event for over 330 people and did it with excellence. I could not have asked for more! Thank you.“

“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here“
