Latin American Restaurants near Lorton

“I was in the mood for pancakes, but not really any decent places to choose from in the Gunston area. A quick Google search turned this place up, and boy was I happy to find it!! Pancakes were light, fluffy, and buttery and spot on. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu. The young lady that took my order was very sweet. The establishment was very clean and well organized, which is the opposite of all other business park eateries I’ve been in. Will be going back often. :)“

“I have tried a lot of these peruvian chicken places and decided to try this one for lunch. I ordered the 1/4 white chicken combo with shrimp. My order was initially rung up incorrectly, but the person working there quickly corrected my ticket. This was not a big deal, but I have seen several reviews for this place complaining that orders seem to be incorrect frequently. I think the price point is good considering you get a drink and two sides. The inside looked clean and is spacious. My only real issue was the wait time. Most of these pollo a la brasa places get you in and out quickly during lunch, but this was the slowest I have experienced. I agree with another reviewer that calling in ahead is wise. The food itself was delicious and was a large portion. The shrimp were amazing and the chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. Overall I think 4 stars is fair for this place.“

“The first thing to notice is that they're 5 star is not ever heard of.Came in and was greeted with a hello and a nice smile. You could see the kitchen, and it was spotless along with the dining area. Limited menu, but less ite.s to chose from means food is fresh and cooked well.Order a sandwich, which was the best.“

“We did carry out so I can't be totally sure of the atmosphere but it seemed nice. The food is fantastic, and I say run over to get some! Absolutely everything we tried was beyond fantastic. $30 total including tip for two people, and we had some leftovers for the next day.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and the pupusas are GF, plus so much else. I have a ton of choices here. Also if you are vegetarian there are lots of good options.“

“Probamos el lechón bowl que trae arroz con gandules, lechón y ensalada de coditos. También probamos el plátano maduro envuelto en tocineta, los limbers de coco y el tembleque de guayaba. Todo estaba delicioso!! Tienen excelente sazón. 100% recomendados!“

“Dinner with spouse, son, daughter-in-law, and their boys. Nice selection on the menu. Youngest child chose grilled octopus and loved it. Wife, chose Lomo Saltado, which she said was delicious. I chose their Neptune platter, which was mixed grilled seafood, including Mahi, which to me is a very dry fish. Other than that, it was delicious. Portions were more than ample. Sangria was great and not at all sweet like many Sangrias I have had.“

“I went with my family this Thursday to this beautiful place, I loved everything but especially the pupusas, they were so well made, plump and filling, they really looked like pupusas. Other times they were not so delicious because they make them very differently, but now they are?“

“This is a great insconspicuous place. A family-type restaurant with an extensive menu. The food is excellen, full of flavor and in generous quantities. The service is as you would expect in a family-owned restaurant, friendly, and personal almost making you feel you are having dinner in a friend's or uncle's house. The wine selection could/should be better. The ambiance is very nice.“

“The service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door. Food and drinks was very good! We shared the coconut shrimp and I had the jerk shrimp pineapple bowl that I requested extra spicy and it was so good! My daughter enjoyed her jerk chicken pineapple bowl. And we shared the Pineapple empanada which was delicious. Generous portions so we can enjoy the rest for lunch! Fun atmosphere with island music.“

“Their Halal Chicken x Latin Dry Rubs x Mediterranean Spices come together so well in their BYO (Build Your Own) Chicken Bowls.I love ordering their chicken bowls with Huli chicken and then making it perfect to my taste buds with the additional sides.[[Food: 5 of 5]]Adding avocados, grilled corn, cojita cheese, feta cheese, add pita chips for crunchy chips, drizzled with their Huli Signature dressing and Jalapeno dressing for a nice kick. [[Service: 5 of 5]]I usually always order online because it's convenient for me but I have ordered in store once or twice and the staff is always nice. You can ask them for recommendations and they'll be honest of their answers.[[Ambiance]]It's quiet and there's usually no customers when I come here. It's a chill spot if you want to have a quick lunch.“

“Hands down the best restaurant and best food I've had in a restaurant in a year. This place is simple, clean in its setting but the food is outstanding and delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the food, made fresh and hot while you wait in Rivera 's Restaurant. They have a variety of dishes and flavors on the menu. It was difficult to make a selection. Everything I ordered was phenomenal. Lomo saltado mixto with red beans and rice was so flavorful! Tamales de elote were sweet and yummy. I was surprised to find atole available and had hot and sweet atole de elote. And super happy with the fried yucca! Prices were fair and portions were generous! Staff was so friendly, professional, and kind! I will definitely be returning and trying more dishes.“

“We arrived in the middle of the night, walked around a lot, and finally checked into the hotel and could go out to eat. I found this top rated Mexican restaurant nearby. The taste is very good. Taco has always been one of my favorites. The advantage of Mexican restaurants is that their products are relatively stable. Also, it’s everywhere here.“

“Excellent pupusas! But only if you like them generously filled with good quality ingredients and fried to perfection haha. Love this place and been to many many others. Simple atmosphere but don’t let that dissuade you. Super friendly staff. This is my go to and should be yours!“

“Update to my previous review. This is now definitely the best Peruvian chicken you will find in the Woodbridge area. They hit a little bump on the road after they reopened in mid-2019, but they are back to consistently juicy and their chicken tasting as closed as you can get to actual Peruvian chicken with that peculiar Peruvian chicken seasoning.“

“The best charcoal chicken in the area, the chicken with steak is really delicious, as are the fries and yucca. They have a wide variety of soft drinks (Sangria my favorite) and aguas frescas. The place is very busy but the staff who work there are friendly and efficient. You can also order and pay over the phone.“

“We enjoyed a wonderful meal here while traveling in Alexandria. Despite our poor Spanish the staff was kind and helpful and took great care of us all. The food was AMAZING, the portions were plentiful and I ate so fast I didn't even get pictures! In addition to serving fresh meals, they have an outstanding bakery case that was so full of variety that it made it almost impossible to choose! Our family will definitely be back!“

“Last Sunday, Rolando and Rosario our dear friends introduced us to this charming restaurant for dining and entertainment. The 6 men band were playing in the party room the most fantastic Latinos and other music on stage, it was a full concert. The owner was very sweet to greet us and the waitress were so attentive, our food were so tasty. This made our Sunday special, we were so delighted that we found this secret oasis so close to our home. We are looking forward to go back every Sunday bringing more friends with us.“

“For lunch we ordered a delicious take-out meal: one whole chicken (all white meat—yes, it’s possible here), rice and beans, and fried plantains. Everything was fantastic! The chicken was moist and flavorful. The spices on the rotisserie chicken are amazing. Yummy!!! Clearly, lots of people love their recipe because I saw lots of customers picking up food in addition to those eating in the restaurant. We liked our choices of sides. The fried plantains were nice and sweet. The rice and beans (light red kidney beans) had excellent seasoning. This family-owned restaurant has been serving delicious food for over 20 years. Many customers are from Latin America, and they appreciate the homemade, fresh taste of their Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken. I love it and will be coming here again soon.“

“I always come here to get the lunch special! You get so much for so cheap. The food here is pretty good! I get the 1/4 chicken with rice ans fries! You get a ton! Its also really fast, whenever I go buy food here, it takes less than 5 minutes to get everything! I love peruvian chicken and so glad theres so many options available in this area.“

“I have been to this place a little too much in the last month because their food is really good; specially the carne asada. All the food I've tried is good in taste, quality and quantity. Their prices are very reasonable, too. The staff has always been polite and friendly.I've mostly done takeout but have eaten there twice. The eating area and the restroom were clean both times. But it's quite a bit loud and too casual for my taste. I recommend doing takeout and checking your food to make sure that your order is accurate before you leave.“

“Excellent bakery and restaurant, I am delighted with the bread they make and the food I bought was very delicious, stewed meat with rice and black beans and tortillas. I would definitely buy it again and I will continue buying the bread when I can. I travel 40 minutes through this area. bread worth “

“My friend and I started off by sharing a large Pork and Cheese Pupusa ($3.99). He ordered the Carne Asada and I got Lomo Saltado de Carne, each $18.99. Portions were large and the food was very good. My Horchata ($3.99) took the place of dessert. A bright, cheerful family restaurant. A tip is automatically added to the bill.“

“Great stop to dance a little. Beers are not crazy expensive. I got pique macho which I'm not usually a fan of but their steak is amazingly soft and tender. I definitely recommend that. The dance floor gets tight but usually everywhere else is the same. Service was ok just not as attentive as I'd expect.“

“Cada vez que a mi esposo y a mi se nos antoja algo rico y calientito nuestro primer pensamiento es Don Alberto's. Muy rico todo el menú, el servicio al cliente muy bueno y todo bien aseado. Lo recomiendo para cualquiera que quiera probar el sabor Latino.“

“Went here with my girlfriend and let me say, the food portions are extremely generous, and on top of that it tastes amazing, the fries were super crisp and seasoned properly, the Torta was MASSIVE and full of a variety of fillings, Pupusas did not disappoint, And the Horchata was some of the best i had, for $30 being able to feed me and my girlfriend AND still have leftovers. The service was also exceptional, the only minor complaint i have is the tables seem neglected but Who cares i just wiped it down, i would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic hispanic food at a good price.“
