Peruvian Restaurants near Kensington, MD

“Crisp & Juicy delivers exactly what its name promises—perfectly cooked Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken that’s both mouthwateringly juicy on the inside and satisfyingly crisp on the outside. The chicken is marinated in traditional Peruvian spices, slow-roasted, and served with a smoky, addictive flavor that’s hard to replicate. Their signature green and yellow sauces take everything to the next level—whether you’re dipping the chicken, fries, or even just spooning it straight. It’s simple, flavorful, and consistently well-executed.

Beyond the chicken, the sides round out the experience: yuca fries that are golden and crunchy, flavorful rice, and plantains that add a touch of sweetness. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the vibe is laid-back—perfect for takeout or a casual meal. Crisp & Juicy doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does one thing really well: comfort food with bold flavor. It’s the kind of place that turns first-timers into loyal regulars“

“BRING BACK THE CEVICHE DE PULPO PLEASE!!!!“

“Had a wonderful dinner with friends - service was great and food unique and delicious! Highly recommend!“

“the food is ok but not amazing. very small portions & the burger is $25 so it is very expensive. the chocolate cake was delicious. the place is tacky design lots of yellow & red & orange. when pay big bucks i prefer a really nice lighting & seats. hard uncomfortable seats. the menu is full of fancy food. could definitely use some better explanations so people know what is on it. I ordered a burger because I could understand what it was . I went for brunch with 3 friends and the bill without tip was $291. the service was good but could be better with filling the drinks. I probably won't go again because it is very expensive for what you get.“

“Excelente el arroz con pato!!! Me encanto!!“

“excellent Peruvia comida. the chifa estuvo delicioso!!!!!!! muy rica!!! i will definitely comeback!!!!“

“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“

“Our family are really happy to see there’s a good Peruvian chicken open in our neighborhood! Went to try it today and we ordered a whole chicken with 2 sides of Yuca and potatoes salad. The chicken is really tasty and inside is juicy too! Sides are delicious also. Will definitely recommend! They also have Kung Fu Tea in the same store too:)“

“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.“

“This place has the BEST Lomo Saltado PERIOD. 10/10“

“se los recomiendo todo muy bueno 👌“

“This location is super fun! Let me talk about the food, I have had Peruvian chicken for example Sardis or chicken Rico. Now the chicken at those locations has a weird after taste when eating. This location chicken here taste DELICIOUS no after taste and so flavorful. We tried the chicken salad sandwich and the Thai chicken sandwich, don’t forget to order that cilantro lime sauce so fresh. The food hits the spot you gotta try it to believe it. After 4 pm this location turns into a really cool bar has pool tables, beer pong and live music performance. We met Simon and Brendan thank you so much they were so awesome to talk to explaining the flavors of the food and also how everything there is very vintage. Enjoyed a mezcal drink was delicious and strong just how I like my tequila! Hours for this spot Wednesday Thursday Sunday open till 12AM and Friday-Saturday open till 2AM. Will be a returning customer for sure. Enjoy my pics!

Parking: Has a big garage right beside the location.“

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

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“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!“

“Very good chicken. Carne asada excellent also.“

“super rrico todo buena atención“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Sopa de gallina muy buena Lomo saltado“

“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“

“Love to join them again“

“Best Peruvian chicken around. Always quick and delicious. We've been coming for years and they are still at the top, in my opinion. One little thing I'd improve is the amount of beef in the lomo saltado. Tons of rice and fries, but less meat every time. Other than that, solid experience every time.

Vegetarian options: It's a chicken place. Limited vegetarian options.

Kid-friendliness: Most kids I know love Peruvian chicken, fries, yuca, plantains, rice, and beans.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for chairs.“

“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“

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

“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.“
