Corey S. • September 8, 2014The super chicken platter gives you a lot of food at under $11. The coleslaw is some of my favorite anywhere.

Jennifer W. • June 9, 2013chicken is very moist, coleslaw was good too - and a great value!

Crystal D. • April 19, 2010Try the Chop Chop...it's pulled chicken + veggie + beans + rice deliciousness! The green sauce is yummy but pretty spicy. Pour the peach colored sauce on top for added creamy-ness!

Neko F. • July 16, 2012This is a Colombian grocery and mini restaurant. Try the Colombian empanadas and grab some 100% Colombian coffee, Cafe Sello Rojo (imported straight from Colombia)

Sree B. • July 22, 201714th Street finally gets a peruvian chicken place and its delicious! Dry rub, spices and sauces are on point. Delicious yuca fries too. Tip: order dessert with your entree - takes a while to prepare.

JASON V. • September 12, 2017First time trying Peruvian style food. Amazing!!!!! I got the 1/2 of chicken, fries and rice, GREAT!

David • December 23, 2015One of the tastiest Peruvian style chicken take-outs in DC.

Gail C. • August 10, 2014The chicken is absolutely amazing. Fries and cole slaw are always my go-to sides. Share a half chicken meal with someone and you'll be happily stuffed.

Sergio T. • March 19, 2018This place is amazingly good. El costillar de cordero(“off the menu “) is my favorite. My wife loves El Charkekan. Everything is good here.

Neko F. • February 24, 2013Try the Mocochinchi, which is basically a peach cider. Really good, mildly spiced with cinnamon.

Pat R. • December 29, 2016Go there hungry with a +1 and get the Planchita platter. Lots of food served on an iron sizzle plate. Can't go wrong.

Mike S. • September 17, 2013Both the Lomo & Pollo Saltado are money!

Allyson N. • January 25, 2013Get the lomo saltado (the "especial" version if you can). My husband and I each get an order every time we go. It's too good to share!

John B. • November 9, 2013Their torta Salvadoreño is fantastic.

Jessica F. • December 25, 2012Literally the BEST Peruvian chicken around !!

Tierra M. • March 19, 2011Both the sauces are awesome. Always ask for extra as they are somewhat stingy. Try the Yucca fries. Very interesting.
