Pisco y Nazca Bethesda

The place is nicely decorated, other than that I wouldn’t recommend it at all. Our Colombian waiter was trying to upsell since the beginning, not a good service at all & was pushing us to get the brunch package for $35 per person, he said the three of us had to do the brunch, I didn’t want to do that & just wanted to get Regular ceviche, my two friends did the $35 menu, & I ordered the Traditional Ceviche which was about $25, well then waiter kept trying to upsell me another kind of ceviche that included different seafood instead of only fish, which is what I wanted, when I said no, he wasn’t happy, so then he offered me if I wanted to get another kind of of fish, of course because that fish would be more expensive, and when I asked him how much, he wouldn’t even know what the more expensive price was. It was only like 11:30 AM closer to noon on a Saturday, and that was the first meal of the day for me, and he was insistent I get alcohol, which I didn’t want to do that at all. He brought us the check & he preselected in the portable card terminal his tip to give him 30%, of course I didn’t accept that and I changed it to 20% tip and he was upset. I always tip generously, but I am the one to decide if you provided a good service enough for me to give you more than the 20%, the waiter shouldn’t select that for the client. Another inconvenience is parking at that location in Bethesda is terrible as the restaurant is in a corner, so you have to park at least a block away, and walk to the restaurant. I would certainly recommend you to skip this place and go somewhere else where they are not trying to upsell you and treat you better, and the service they provide is also better. To make matters worse I told him I didn’t want my ceviche to be spicy, and he brought it so spicy I couldn’t eat it, I had to talk to the manager to get another one, and she offered to bring me a plain one with zero spice on it, and of course, no flavor. Not a good experience at all. The only good thing was the company of my two girlfriends.

Great food. We (4) shared Lomo Saltado from the Entrees menu and Half Tradicional Ceviche and Half Chaufa de Pollo from the Pick Two menu. Since we arrived just after the lunch rush, we were seated right away. Our order was taken, after much chit chat. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. Very well seasoned and tasty. Service was great. Really attentive staff. Great place for casual dining.

I'm generally not very familiar with this type of cuisine, that said, I was very happy with what I had (based on the servers recommendation). I had two Peruvian main dishes, both with meat and an appetizer of octopus.

They were so good, I went there a second time and I was more than happy to have Mati as our sever. She is very attentive and moved is in when we felt cold outside without hesitation.

I recommend this place.
