Mayta's Peruvian Cuisine

Delicious food, great service! First time eating Peruvian food. Had dinner here while traveling through the area. Had the dark 1/4 chicken meal with salad and Brussel sprouts...absolutely delicious. So was the Pineapple margarita. Nice vibe, very clean restrooms.

Mayta’s Peruvian Cuisine offers a lovely setting, with a clean and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a great dining experience. The service was notably friendly, and my server was exceptional—attentive and knowledgeable, making sure I felt welcomed throughout my visit.

However, the food unfortunately did not live up to expectations. I started with the papa a la huancaína, which was disappointingly bland, lacking the rich, vibrant flavors one would expect from this classic dish. I suggest more aji amarillo or more queso fresco. Next, I tried the chicken with chaufa rice and yuca. While the rice was passable, the chicken was severely underseasoned and lacked any distinct flavor. The yuca, too, fell short; it was quite hard and seemed like it might have been frozen rather than freshly prepared.

Overall, while Mayta’s Peruvian Cuisine shines in service and ambiance, the food did not meet the standards I hoped for, leaving me craving the bold flavors that define Peruvian cuisine. I was expecting more when the word “cuisine” is in their name. Thank you to the chefs but I will not be returning.

I’ve been a fan of Mayta’s for years since they had their original storefront in Frederick. Peruvian food isn’t hard to come by in the DC metro area, but in Frederick they are maybe the only, or one of the only spots boasting the full array of dishes you would expect at a Peruvian restaurant (not just charbroiled chicken) and they do it WELL.

I really appreciate the familial feeling the owner has established in his space. Combined with fresh ingredients and those special flavors you can only get from Peru, I always leave Mayta’s feeling both satiated and like I’ve had a taste of home.

You can’t go wrong with popular dishes like lomo saltado, chauffeur or chicken and yuca frita, but I especially love their aji de gallina and tacu tacu.

Recently I had the chance to stop at their food truck and I was blown away by how fresh the yuca was and really loved the chicken empanadas.

Not the same anymore

We came in later in the evening. They didn’t tell us it’s to-go orders only. Food is flavorful. Servers are attentive & welcoming. House hot sauce goes with the dishes. Pisco sour is delicious.

Great flavors!

This was such an enjoyable meal. Everything was prepared well and our group was very happy with the service. The fried plantains are not to be missed either as an appetizer or a side. Menu choices are plentiful and difficult to choose. Would recommend this spot.
