Peruvian Restaurants near Herndon, VA

“Came in and decided to try the Carne Asada. I was not only surprised by the portion size but also the flavor! It was very well seasoned and tender, everything you could ask for. Service was great, highly recommend.“

“LOVED Madina Pollo Reina! We got the chicken kabobs and they were soooo delicious! All of our sides were really tasty, too! We also got vegetable samosas which were perfectly fried! The spicy green sauce with the samosas was great! Definitely ordering from there again!!!! 😋“

“4.2 stars is absolutely appalling for this gem. I moved away from Herndon in 2021 and have dreams about this chicken, rice and macaroni and cheese. This is the best Peruvian chicken I’ve ever had and I have searched the US over for any chicken that compares. I will be back ASAP. I miss you, Chicken Rico!“

“Pollo Peru – Flavorful Simplicity with Top-Notch Service
I went with the rotisserie chicken breast, steamed white rice, and black beans—and it did not disappoint. The chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with that smoky, well-seasoned rotisserie flavor. The rice was fluffy and clean, while the black beans brought a rich, savory punch that tied the whole plate together.

Portions were decent—not over-the-top, but enough to leave you satisfied. What really stood out, though, was the service. Friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. They made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable.

If you're after a fresh, flavorful meal that hits the spot without weighing you down, Pollo Peru is a solid choice.“

“It's a lovely restaurant. The setting and atmosphere are inviting. We tried their brunch prix fixe with lots of options to choose from. Tuna tartare tacos and ceviche are tasty. Fish is fresh. Empanadas and cholo benedicto are also good. My son really likes the sauce that comes with the empanadas. Buenazo is a good dessert to end the meal.“

“Absolutely delicious!! As a Peruvian the food here hits all the marks. Each dish is 💯“

“Order from their website for the first time. Food was ready on time. Sadly I was given steak fries instead of the yucca I ordered. In the future I will check my order for accuracy before leaving the store. The red potatoes were delicious. The chicken was very flavorful and not dried out.“

“great chicken and fair price 👌🏼 best Peruvian Chicken on City of Fairfax Area ! Pollo Saltado is Soo Good ! And they Pollo Asado Muy Buenoo“

“The food was delicious . I really enjoyed the fried yucca. It was light and crispy for yucca fries. I really enjoy the chicken, it was flavorful and juicy. The fried rice could have been a little better. It was sitting in the warmer for a while, so it was a bit on the dry side. Overall, great place to have something quick and convenient.“

“It was my first time with my local friend. The atmosphere was amazing. The place was beautiful, authentic, and great food. Service was super slow, but we eventually found out the waitress was alone. She was servicing all the tables by herself, and the place was full. She was very kind. Overall, it was a great experience.“

“Vast Peruvian style menu. Best lomo saltado! Great empanadas! try the seco de cordero (lamb stew). Great prices!“

“I was in town for 3 weeks and ate here probably 6 times. INCREDIBLE food, everything was amazing, after all visits I've tried everything on the menu including the drinks and desserts and wasn't dissapointed in ANYTHING. Except the spaghetti, I didn't try that, not a fan of of the way it looked tbh. But everything else is incredible. And the price? Ridiculous for the amount of food you get. I would take another contract in the area JUST to eat here.“

“excelente atención super recomendado como sentirte en tu casa la sazón buena“

“This is a delicious little hole in the wall serving Peruvian tacos and other fare. The atmosphere is pretty low-key, but what knocks it down a few stars for me is cleanliness. The kitchen and bathrooms are disgusting, which always makes me wonder if I'm going to get sick after eating here. I haven't yet though...“

“Muy buena atención y la comida muy rico! 100% recomendable ⭐️“

“This is the best tasting Peruvian chicken we have found. The wait staff are very sweet and have become like family since we frequent the restaurant. It’s also very fast service and an economical way to feed the whole family ! We highly recommend them.“

“What a great place to have real Peruvian food! The Lomo Saltado, Ceviche and Chicken Soup are excellent to name just a few of the extensive menu items. The dine-in restaurant is spacious and inviting, the service is friendly, and the location is convenient. The new management has really done wonders, and creates a very nice dining experience. Take out and delivery options are available, and the prices are very reasonable. This is THE place to experience Peru !“

“This place can be great, they just need more training. I went in to get a whole chicken, it seemed like the kitchen was going down because of a line of a few people. I had to wait to get the chicken, but the chicken was fresh and tasted great. I hope they can get organized in the kitchen and clean it up a bit because the layout of the restaurant and the menu is very nice.“

“The lomo is so good it made my day☺️“

“La comida excelente y el personal muy amable. Los recomiendo el 💯“

“Tienen gran variedad de platos y un excelente servicio.. Se los recomiendo!!“

“Beautiful amazing place to go eat 😍 and amazinggg service and owners are always dependnt of their customers.“

“We brought a group of 18 family members to El Estribo this past Saturday for the first time, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I called ahead to make a reservation, and they were kind enough to fit us in that same day. When we arrived, we only waited about 15 minutes before being seated.

The service was great, the restaurant was very clean, and the food was absolutely amazing — every single person in our family loved their meal. While the food took a little time to come out, it was well worth the wait.

A special shout-out to the staff and chef for accommodating my wife’s dietary needs. She usually can only eat homemade ceviche due to restrictions, but they went above and beyond to prepare a shrimp-only ceviche with no milk — and she loved it!

This place may be tucked away in a small shopping center, but it’s a true hidden gem. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, authentic food and great service.“

“Absolutely Incredible Jamaican-Peruvian Fusion! This spot is a hidden gem that delivers a unique and unforgettable fusion of Jamaican and Peruvian flavors. The ceviche was unbelievably fresh and zesty—bright citrus, tender seafood, and just the right amount of heat. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich and savory with deep island spices that linger in the best way. And the lomo saltado? Perfectly seared beef, vibrant veggies, and bold seasoning—it’s a must-try dish that beautifully bridges both cuisines. The drinks were just as impressive—creative, balanced, and strong! Whether you’re into tropical cocktails or classics with a twist, the bar won’t disappoint. The ambience is warm, vibrant, and welcoming—great for date night or a night out with friends. Bonus: plenty of parking, which made everything even more stress-free. Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!“

“Fui el jueves pasado y estaba horriblr la comida. El arroz ligoso. y para terminar cuando fui al baño, habian cucarachas! ahi mismo vomite y uno de los que atiende me ofrecio otro plato y le pedi mi dinero y me fui. Es un lugar estresante tan bien le gritan a los empleados y no los tratan bien.“

“I love their Peruvian food!!! They have the best sandwiches with the most popular Peruvian food like Lomo saltado, chicharrón, pollo salad, jamón, y tamales!!! Mom & Papa’s business clean, kind, neat, and pleasant experience. Try their natural fruit shakes!!! Highly recommended!“
