How can you be closed on a Sunday?! Weekends are the best days for restaurants. Guess I’ll never know if the food is good because they are closed today (Sunday). Ridiculous

Did a pick up order. The Steak sandwich was really really good and whatever bread they used was really good too. Empanadas were good but nothing special in my opinion, however I wasn't a huge fan of the dip, which seemed to be just sour cream. Calamari was decent but I wouldn't pay $11 for it again. Overall, pretty nifty little spot.

I've been a customer here since 2005. They kindly remember me which is nice. Best part is the food which is much better than the unassuming strip mall location. You just have to try them.

We've been here multiple times, ordered different choices from the menu every time & never disappointed. The server is always so friendly & accommodating. My friend says he's been to many Peruvian restaurants & none are as good as this one. This place is so underrated!! Hope we can spread the word so others can understand how fresh food tastes?

This place is great. I drive by it so many times but never stopped in. That all changed this morning! I met a colleague there for breakfast and it didn't disappoint at all. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our table was even changed without us requesting because the owner felt like we'd be more comfortable at a bigger table. He was right about that. We got some coffee and it came out so quick and it was definitely hot and freshI had the shrimp and spinach omelet with rice and sausage links. It was so good. I never thought to have rice with breakfast but it worked. Definitely delicious.Now I need to make it a point to go back for lunch or dinner and check out other menu items.Fast and friendly service with delicious food. What more could you ask for?!?

I am Peruvian and I took 4 tamales to take away $8 each expensive for a tamale with bad taste, too much maseca and it looked like a greasy puree OMG if this is how the tamale is, what will the rest be like?

I absolutely love this place. I read some of the 1 star reviews out of curiosity and they are legit lying. I come here for dinner at least 2 or 3 times a week and have never had a problem.

Ropa Vieja was dry and had no sauce. I was surprised that it was done with brisket, which is fine but the flavor was not like typical Ropa Vieja. There were very little tomato and onion in it as well.
Vegetarian options: Most dishes on the menu can be made vegetarian all you have to do is ask the chef. I had a tallarine saltado made vegetarian and it was delicious!!! The mild and hot sauce are vegan as well.

Love this little place! Food and service are excellent. Not much of a drink selection (canned/bottled sodas & iced teas; there were some beer in their fridge), but that didn't both us one bit. The Inka Chicken was moist delicious and went well with the yuca and fried plantains. The Ropa Vieja was just as delicious and partnered perfectly with the rice, black beans and also came with the fried plantains. Food servings were very generous. We were full but we really wanted to try their Bananas Tres Leches and their Alfajores - - we were so happy we did! The tres leches wasn't too banana-ey, which was great for me. We can't wait to come back and try their other dishes!

The Nibbler has the best Peruvian food in Gaithersburg. The service is excellent, and the black bean soup is highly recommended.
