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“

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

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

“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!“

“The food was absolutely amazing, and the experience was made even better by our server, Edwin! He truly went above and beyond—his attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personality made it such a pleasure to dine here. His customer service is truly top-notch! Out of all the restaurants I’ve visited, this was hands down the best service I’ve received. I highly recommend coming here—and be sure to ask for Edwin if you want an exceptional dining experience!“

“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.“

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

“I was there today celebrating my fathers birthday, good food, exelent service, our waitress was very good and cordial, the host nice and recive us with a nice smile, very beautiful i wish i could find her on instagram.“

“It is the best roast chicken in Washington DC. I highly recommend it. The food is delicious.“

“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.“

“Nice place to go for a healthy meal“

“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“

“Excelente y rica comida! Lindo lugar y acogedor. Presentación de los platos sencillamente maravilloso! Y la cordialidad y atención de Marco Campero extraordinaria! Recomendados 100%“

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

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

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

“Love to join them again“

“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.“

“I arrived close to closing time. the establishment was very clean and the staff extremely friendly. I took my order to go and received my order very quickly and very fresh. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this restaurant.“

“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 ✌🏻✌🏻“

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

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

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

“Very good chicken. Carne asada excellent also.“

“Sopa de gallina muy buena Lomo saltado“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“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.“

“I'm always satisfied with my order from this restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, chicken is plentiful and its served relatively quickly.

Note: the menu offerings may be correct but the prices in the pictures may not be.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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! 🥰🥰🥰“

“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“

“Food is awesome 🔥🔥🥂Good service and I will be back soon🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥“

“Had an amazing experience at Sardi’s. The staff and our server were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious and everything came out fresh and perfectly prepared. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. Highly recommend stopping !“

“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“

“It’s been a while since I last visited this place, and I’m delighted to report that the quality and taste of the food remain excellent. The Carne Asada was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and I particularly want to thank Juan for ensuring that everything was perfect.“

“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.“

“My husband and I went to this restaurant we don't eat out very often but we decided to stop by this one since it was close to where we were staying we went and the food was delicious a very attentive friendly young lady took our order and recommended the best combo she was very friendly and attentive, and we loved her service we didn’t have to wait for long she send the order and we got the food quickly she’s amazing I asked for her name, Kattery Barahona. Thank you so much for your excellent service! They need to hire more staff like her. Excellent service! We will definitely be back.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“20/10. MY 1st time trying. Its always busy, so I figured it would be good. Thats an understatement! I got the rice bowl, and it is magnificent! The chicken is seasoned to perfection. Fresh lettuce, beans, corn , rice topped with seasoned tortilla stripe and yellow sauce. HUGE PORTION. Definitely a new favorite.“
