Peruvian Restaurants near Leesburg, VA

“My family and I enjoy trying new restaurants in Leesburg, and we recently gave this place a try.

Our order was to-go, and overall we had a good experience. The pollo was very good—great flavor and generous portions. We also loved the yuca, which was one of our favorite items.

The sauces, however, were not our favorite. Both were quite spicy and lacked the flavor we were expecting.

Although our order was takeout, the restaurant looked nice, clean, and welcoming, with bright colors that create a pleasant atmosphere. One thing that seemed a bit out of place were the gambling machines, which felt unusual for the establishment.

Overall, we enjoyed the food and would definitely come back to try other dishes, especially the carne asada.“

“Absolutely WOWed by our experience at Chicken Rico in Leesburg Plaza. The chicken was so good and reasonably priced that it’s worth the trip to get a couple of whole chickens to take home to the family on your way home from work. You gotta get a couple of LARGE containers of macaroni and cheese too. You know that crunchy part on top of the mac and cheese casserole that everybody fights over at the dinner table? I’ve never had mac and cheese this good, and that crusty cheesy crunchy part… well, you’ll be craving it. And it’s also an authentically-prepared South American recipe that even us gringos will just eat up. The sauce that comes in little cups that you can pay extra for? I’m a wimp now with spicy food, so I asked the young man behind the counter to give me a few extra cups of the creamy sauce that’s not spicy. I’m sorry I’m not familiar enough with Peruvian cuisine to know what it’s called. But oh my gosh… you can’t have enough of it. I got plantains and not only did I dip my chicken in that sauce, I dipped my plantains in it too! I hope I’m not breaking too many intercontinental cuisine rules here, but Chicken Rico’s food is some of the BEST I’ve had anywhere, let alone locally in Loudoun County. We paid less than $29 for a whole chicken, large side of mac and cheese, large side of plantains, and four little cups of non-spicy creamy sauce. And I returned to the counter and left a hefty cash tip in the tip jar because the guys behind the counter couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful (and I’m just going to say it: very easy on the eyes which sure don’t hurt). Another thing that really impressed me was how clean the restaurant was on a Saturday night. And as we left just before closing, the cleaning staff was ROLLING UP THE RUGS to mop every inch of the place. Then they vacuumed the rugs! I feel like I’m a good cook, but I can’t make food this good. Can’t wait to go back.“

“This is our 2nd time trying the place out and I am really loving the food here. I honestly know nothing about Peruvian food, but after trying out a number of dishes with my family, I am loving it more and more. The flavor of all the dishes are perfect and the service is wonderful. We'll definitely come back.“

“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!“
