Peruvian Restaurants near Hanover, MD

“Lima's is a great little Peruvian chicken restaurant. Technically it's a chain, but there are only a few locations and they're all in MD (Hanover, Catonsville, and Annapolis). The food is made fresh in-house (nearly the entire kitchen is visible to customers) and I haven't had a bad meal or experience there in the roughly two dozen times I've gone there for lunch and dinner.My kids love their quesadillas and I usually get their bowls which are very large generous servings. We've also had their burritos which are huge and also very tasty. If you've never had a Peruvian "Saltado" dish and enjoy french fries and tomatoes, I'd recommend you try it at least once (Pollo or Lomo Saltado). Lima's in Hanover is easily one of our favorite South American fast-casual restaurants for a tasty dinner or lunch.“

“Written by a Peruvian who is often in LA, NYC, DC, MIA. Trust me, I (and many Peruvians) hunt excellent Peruvian food wherever we go. Our gastronomy is becoming world-renowned (yaay) and so some (!) are trying to cash in and provide sub-par/tasteless/bland stuff and try and sell it as “Peruvian” food. Well, Puerto 511 and Chef Jose are exceeding all expectations. First thing you notice after laying eyes on the beautifully plated dish is the freshest ingredients but then, BAM, the perfect combination of taste, spice and tenderness hits you. Delicious as it should be when made right. He serves traditional flavors in a gourmet-style. PrixeFixe dinner of 5 delicious courses which was completely perfect. Beginning with the super tender veal anticuchos (with the nice and spicy sauces), to the tuna en su causa (perfectly seasoned potatoes layered with the freshest tuna) and the sashimi in aji amarillo and ending with churros (made as they should be with a pumpkin-base dough) topped with a scoop of guanabana ice cream, strawberries and Dulce de Leche! Each dish had our beautiful and familiar Peruvian flavors, all exploding nicely in your mouth. Excelente!“

“Tried Pipilinka Charbroiled Chicken today and it was the best Peruvian chicken I've had in Howard County! For sides, I got a pupusa, rusa salad, fried rice and plantains and everything was delicious! I took pictures after we already had food on our plates. The whole chicken meal is enough for 4 people and comes with three sides“

“What a PLEASANT SURPRISE! My wife and I frequently go to this out of the way shopping center for three stores: Ollie's, Mom's and a Goodwill Thrift store. We always pass Pollo Fiesta on the way in but never ate here before this visit. First things first, I am GLUTEN FREE and MANY "Peruvian" or South American rotisserie chicken places marinate the fowl in BEER (cerveza) and/or use soy sauce in seasoning...this prohibits the delightful pollo from my diet! The wonderful young lady who was managing Pollo Fiesta the day we were there assured me that the chicken was hand rubbed with a gluten free seasoning blend. Both my wife and I LOVED it! I had a side of black beans that were good. NOT GREAT, to me, because I am used to Cuban black beans that are seasoned differently. My wife had a side of plantain that she loved. This restaurant does not offer much in the way of ambience. But it IS very suitable for a family with young kids! The service is wonderful! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“A must if you're craving Peruvian chicken. It was my first time at the physical location - I've gotten delivery from here so many times, it's probably embarrassing but there's nothing I love more than peruvian chicken. The location is hard to get to by car - it's by the PowerPlant in inner harbor so parking is tricky. The store itself is huge - and the best part about going in person is their sauce station - when you get delivery they charge you per small container of their amazing aioli and green salsa - but not in person, they have lot of little containers and you can fill as many cups as you want for your salsa, and I'm a saucy girl. I got the half chicken (white and dark meat and their plantains and yucca. It was a dark cold day and there were a lot of people coming in and out, it's a popular spot for sure. The staff is fast and efficient, not the best at answering any questions you have but it's the place you come when you know exactly what you're getting.“

“I made a challenge to try a different restaurant each week. Yesterday I decided to order via GrubHub and try the Chicken + Whiskey Restaurant at Columbia Mall. I ordered the half chicken meal with corn tomato salad and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was extremely juicy which I loved. The aji amarillo sauce took the chicken to another level! The macaroni and cheese was very creamy but it lacked seasoning. The corn and tomato salad tasted like it might have been made a few days before because the corn was chewy and it lacked seasoning. To me, it was not bad for the price and I was able to make two meals and doctor up the sides when I got home. Still recommend this place as the restaurant was clean and the service was good.“

“Was looking for a link to review, but this is only giving the option to recommend or not. Oh well. I guess I’d recommend this place based on the fact that they serve chicken outside of the scope of Baltimore’s “chicken box and fry” combo. The food, however, was over cooked and the chicken was salted more than I’d expect. Foods that I’ve tasted at this location: 1/4 chicken (too salty and not juicy like the other reviews have claimed) Fried plantain (black and burnt...overcooked) Cilantro rice ( best item so far) Beef empanadas (cooked way too long...overcooked) I’ve experienced food from other Peruvian restaurants, and I cannot say that Primo Chicken is at the top of my list. Sardis still is a winner over top of Primo Chicken.“
