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!!!!“

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!“

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

“Wonderful food! Great Dim Sum 🥟. Thank you for offering lunch to furloughed workers.“

“Thanks Gaby! What a wonderful place! Pisco The food and drinks were great from the ceviche to the pisco sours. What really stood out was the service from Gaby . She went above and beyond offering superb recommendations and taking excellent care of us from start to finish.“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“The food tastes good, but sometimes it's too salty, like yesterday the ceviche had so much salt you could see it at the bottom of the plate. The service surprises me more and more each time. A couple of weeks ago we went to eat, they seated us and took our order, and a few moments later a group of about 8 people arrived. The waitress told us she was going to move us to another table, she took our silverware and the complimentary corn nuts to the other table and seated the group at the table where we were sitting. I didn't think that was right. If they arrived after us, they should have waited for a table to become available, like in other restaurants. Yesterday, 12/19/25, we ordered 3 meals at 12 PM by phone. The waitress told me 25 minutes. I arrived 45 minutes later, giving them plenty of time, and even then the order wasn't ready. She made me wait another 10 minutes, while people who arrived to order after me received their orders faster. The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the decorations are nice, but they need to work on their customer service. LA COMIDA TIENE BUEN SABOR, AVECES SE PASAN DE SAL, COMO AYER EL CEVICHE TENIA TANTA SAL QUE SE VEIA EN EL FONDO DEL PLATO. EL SERVICIO ME SORPRENDE CADA VEZ MAS, HACE UN PAR DE SEMANAS FUIMOS A COMER, NOS SENTARON Y NOS TOMARON LA ORDEN, Y UNOS MOMENTOS DESSPUES LLEGO UN GRUPO DE UNAS 8 PERSONAS, LA MESERA NOS DIJO QUE NOS IBA A MOVER A OTRA MESA, SE LLEVO LOS CUBIERTOS, LA CANCHITA QUE DAN A LA OTRA MESA Y SENTÓ AL GRUPO EN LA MESA EN DONDE ESTABAMOS, ESO NO ME PARECIO BIEN. SI ELLOS LLEGARON DESPUES DE NOSOTROS DEBIERON ESPERAR A QUE UNA MESA SE DESOCUPÉ, COMO EN OTROS RESTAURANTES. AYER 12/19/25 PEDIMOS 3 MENUS A LAS 12PM POR TELÉFONO, LA MESERA ME DIJO 25 MINUTUS, YO LLEGUE 45 MINUTOS DESPUES, DANDOLES TIEMPO SUFICIENTE Y AUN ASI LA ORDEN NO ESTABA LISTA, ME HIZO ESPERAR UNOS 10 MINITOS MÁS, MIENTRAS TANTO GENTE QUE LLEGO A ORDENAR DESPUES QUE YO LE DABAN SU ORDEN MAS RÁPIDO. LA COMODA ES RICA, LAS PORCIONES SON GRANDES, LAS DECORACIONES BONITAS, PERO EL SERVICIO AL CLIENTE DA MUCHO QUE DESEAR.“

“This is the second time I have eaten at this restaurant. The food is amazing. Beautifully presented, interesting food combinations and gracious staff. I highly recommend the establishment.“

“Love to join them again“

“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“

“The food is amazing. Tiradito was incredible and I loved the lomo saltado!“

“It’s absolutely delicious! As a Brazilian, this kind of food feels so familiar and comforting - it really tastes like home. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!😍“

“I went online....saw exactly what I wanted....ordered it...paid for it....picked it up and it was waiting for me exactly when the pick up time asked for..;.it was delicious and priced exactly how I expected for a tasty take out chicken dinner. Perfect.“

“This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite. There is one table, and plenty of space inside of the bar next door to eat, but I love having the option to just grab-n-go when I want something really good to eat at home. There is a good amount of side options and entrees, and you can order from a couple different menus, similar to a ghost kitchen, if you're in the mood for a different type of cuisine.“

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

“Kevin at Sardis consistently provides exceptional customer service. He’s friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to customer satisfaction and it’s truly appreciated, being a regular customer. The food here is always great. Good quality, great portions and Sardis is family friendly.“

“Very good chicken. Carne asada excellent also.“

“Good sevice“

“super rrico todo buena atención“

“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.“

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!“

“I had half chicken with roasted veggies and Brussel sprouts. Everything about this place was good, but not great. I’m not sure if the AC was not working, or the heat from the ovens, but the inside was like a sauna. I thought the chicken was a bit dry. The employees were nice. I would return.“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“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“

“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.“

“Hoy llegamos a disfrutar del almuerzo con ESAUD SUAREZ El príncipe de la cumbia peruana, quedamos encantados con la sazón de Margot Guevara, 100% recomendado. bien servido, delicioso se siente el ambiente acogedor.“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“Everything was amazing!!! But them Brussel sprouts!!!! Legit on another level! Legit could turn anyone who hates them into fans!! 9 out of 10 for everything!!“

“Un orgullo la atención de Jesús Guerrero !! Aparte de la comida la atención que el tiene con los clientes es excelente!! Recomendado !! Orgullo peruano en todo su restaurante“

“I went to Crisp and Juicy on April 23rd, in the evening alone. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a long time, so I was a little indecisive on what I wanted. The young lady that was at the register was as sweet as could be, and I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I wanted to order a platter for 2, and asked what her recommendation was to feed 2 people. So, I ordered what she recommended, and asked for a lot of sauce. The order came up quick, and I thanked her. Bless her. She gave me so much sauce. I just wanted everyone to know how much this impacted my evening, because my oldest daughter Ayanna loved your restaurant! She was murdered in 2020. She was 18 years old. This small act really touched my heart. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰“

“First time I had Chicken Rico I was in love. I think I have had it one too many times. I like the fact that their chicken is charcoal broiled right in front of you. Reasonable prices and okay employees. Good portioned size food. At times their chicken fried rice is out at the end of the day so get there earlier before closing.“

“Delicious! I'll definitely stop here again when I'm in the area. Ordering was quick and easy and the food smelled just like it tasted... delicious! The atmosphere was calm enough for a peaceful meal. Sometimes the simplest meals are the best. 💎“

“Muy recomendado toda la comida del buffet muy rica. Mis hijos pidieron chicharron c/yuca, milanesa de pollo y tacutacu c/lomo, todas las carnes suaves y muy sabrosas. Mi familia salió contenta. Muchas gracias Kaypi restaurant 🙂👍🏼“

“We are so pleased with this amazing restaurant! They are so understanding & so welcoming. We have been here 2 times & planning on going a 3rd time in the next few weeks!😄😄 Great service & food all around!“

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