He was also making our beverages and I had the Amazonian Gin and Tonic and the Old Fashioned and they were 100% on point. Food was delicious, The Colossal Short Rib Sandwich is a must and I was a huge fan of the Tres Leches French Toast as well.

Overall, I would def want to come back for the dinner menu and try more of these wonderful fusion dishes. A+ def a nice experience.“

Add a fun, curated wine list, and exceptional service, all at abundantly reasonable prices, and this is one of the best pure meals you’ll get in the area.
L&C is still growing into the space, and it isn’t helped by some shabby, dated surroundings—but so much care has gone into this place, I’m really hopeful they’ll hang on and help revitalize that whole neck of the woods…“

“Deliciosas empanadas y aperitivos con ese sabor Panameño que nos identifica y una atención excelente“

“Such a great experience! We chose the tapas experience and lemme tell you, it got us so full! Didn’t have a chance to try the cocktails but the mocktails were great. The presentation of the food and drinks were spectacular. The aesthetic of the restaurant was warm.
Can’t wait to be back!“

“My husband had my surprise 50th here. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make this night memorable. The owner did everything he could to make everyone have a great experience. The food was outstanding! By far the best Mexican food around!“

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

“Magnificent calamari. Salty and crunchy. 😋“

“I sat in the bar and had the hilachas guatemaltecas, and it was excellent and included homemade corn tortillas. The hilachas stew was a bit more potato heavy than I expected but that did not detract from the experience. It was also my first time having it, so it was a learning experience for me.

The service at the bar was excellent. I overheard people saying that the server was the cutest! She was incredibly nice and definitely makes you feel welcomed and seems excited that you’re there as a customer. It’s refreshing to receive such nice treatment.

The west facing windows bring afternoon light, and it has a cute ambience that would be great for a small group, a couple, or even just one person to grab lunch or dinner.

The “booth” side seating has a cushion for your bottom, but the wall is your back. There are several other tables with all chairs though, and there are two small sidewalk tables outside.“

“Un luga con un ambiente super higienico y fresco. Las atenciones fueron de primera, la comida fresca y con muy buen sabor. Yo sali muy satisfecha, ? por favor espero que sigan con la misma calidad. Muchas gracias al Señor Ariel y su equipo de trabajo. God bless you“

“Latin comfort food; good beer selection; everything on the menu is excellent“

“My wife and I was walking around after taking care of business at the U.S. Passport Agency office down the street. Great food. Wonderful service to add also. When my wife and I are back in this area again will for sure come back to this establishment. 5 star all the way!“

“Restaurant is very open. We were given our choice of seating. Menu was written in English and Colombian. I had the steak and my husband had the chicken dinner. Both came with fries, salad and rice. The chicken and steak were outstanding. The béchamel sauce came with the chicken dinner. It was so tasty, I asked for some sauce for my steak. The presentation of the entrees were quite colorful with the salad, rice, and potatoes.
Minus one star from atmosphere, due to the restroom. The one restroom must be shared by ladies and gentlemen.“

“Very good happy hour! (4-7pm) The prices are affordable and the aperol spritz is a very good size compared to other restaurants that give a small glass. I recommend the nachos and tacos to share. The service is a little slow but it can be improved.“

“We sat at the bar. Delicious food and drinks. Great service. We came twice on our trip to D.C.“

“Just tried Charlies Bowl and we'll definitely be repeat customers. Ordered the 10 taco meal (chicken, pork, chorizo) and they were all delicious. The Latin Sandwich we split as well was amazing. I hope the kitchen stays open in Vienna.“

“"I was born and raised in South Arlington, and I've seen several restaurants come and go in this plaza before Café Sazón. But let me tell you, the food and the people here are fantastic! It's authentic homemade food at its best. I’ll definitely be coming back. To all my fellow Arlingtonians, you need to check this place out—you won’t be disappointed!"“

“Is always a pleasure to go to Guardados, food is delicious, everyone is friendly and is so nice to see the owner coming to the tables and talk to costumers.
Not expensive and great food, drinks and deserts, this time we tried different Paella but my favorite is Paella Negra, different flavor, is just perfect for me and you should try it.“

“Hermoso lugar . La atención al público es lo mejor!!!“

“Absolutely incredible every single time. Crisp & Juicy lives up to its name — the rotisserie chicken is perfectly seasoned, fall-off-the-bone tender, and packed with flavor. The skin is crispy in all the right ways, and the meat stays juicy no matter what you order.

The sides are just as good — especially the yuca fries and plantains. Everything tastes homemade and fresh. I also have to shout out the green sauce — dangerously good and goes with literally everything on the menu.

The staff are always friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in, it’s consistently a great experience. Easily one of my favorite spots — I’ll keep coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

For real this place is really good“

“La sopa de mariscos está muy rica La atención es excelente y familiar los recomiendo al 100%“

“We were a little hesitant because of how small the store front was but it ended up being absolutely delightful! We had the empanadas as an appetizer, they were delicious. The bread was such a great consistency, better than the best cornbread. I had the carne asada, and it was so fresh and delicious. All of the food was very authentic! I even tried a new drink, not alcoholic, it was like a tea that was cold but somewhat spicy. It was delicious !! We will definitely be going back for another round ;-) Service was very quick and polite as well.“

“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“

“The food is amazing here! Very traditional and fresh. Very well executed. The Pollo de Tajadas (with s regular baleada on the side) is my go-to order. I will definitely try other things if I can just stop thinking about that chicken! It’s definitely better when you dine in but totally acceptable for carry out as well.“

“Muy buena muy buen servicio“

“….…………………………………………….. xxx“

“The vibe is good. The service was very very slow. They kept forgetting to put things in. Not sure if they were short staffed. Don’t waste your time with the chips and dips. They tasted like store bought guacamole and salsa and cheap dollar store bag chips. But other wise the Citron sampler was amazing! We only one drink because again the service was slow. But overall I would try this place again because of the vibe and music.“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“Good and healthy easy ti get there and fast service“

“Good food [Original] Good food“

“I mean it's a food truck at a gas station, not much atmosphere. Other than that No complaints!! Unless I get there late and she's out of pollo??‍♂️. Not her fault lol. Never been disappointed and if you're nice you may get some home pickled jalapenos, definitely a great lunch option. It's my go-to a couple times a week. Definitely recommend ??“
