    Whole chicken in 8 pieces
    Linda V.

    Been coming here for years. They've changed the outside but still the same inside. Nothing wrong with that but good as usual, reasonably priced and delicious.

    The pic doesn't convey the elevation of this huge portion!

    My dad was visiting from out of state and we were on our way to see his childhood home in Adelphi when we hit red at the intersection and a smoky mass of intense rotisserie aromas enveloped our car and everyone started screaming at me that "IT IS TIME TO EAT, NNNOOOWWW!!!" Ok fine, so I pull over and Siri open Yelp. No reviews, what? But the Yelp map has lots of other 4 star heavily reviewed places close, isn't that safer? At this point I subject myself to internal ridicule, "You worthless, spineless nitty. You used to crash the most unlikely dive joints with a sense of adventure and pure fearlessness. Now you've let the 40 minutes you've been in Maryland turn you into a freaking liberal--mind dependent on the governmental validation of other Yelp Dukes and her backslappers before you trudge into the unknown. Are you afraid of being a first? Can you proceed without The Safetynet?" A swift turn of the wheel, and a plume of diesel exhaust moved our Eco-enemy Excursion into the parking lot. It was packed. We walked in as throngs were walking out with large styrofoam containers. We then joined the quickly moving line. The menu offered beef fajitas, teriyaki items, fried rice, various stews, salads, and more; but clearly, the star of this show is their rotisserie chicken. Under $9 gets you a 1/2 chicken with two sides. I saw spaghetti, green beans, rice, dirty rice[black beans/white rice], plantains, beans, sweet corn, french fries, salad and several others I can't recall. As we were in line the rotisserie guy opened up the oven revealing full racks of whirling birds over a brisk hardwood inferno. Unlike the overly brine inflated Costco Jenny's you may know, these are the real deal. The chicken is coated in an amazing dry rub then seared with almost crispy skin. The smoky flavor penetrates all the moist meat--it's quite impressive and delicious. It also comes with my favorite Aji Peruvian green sauce and the yellowish mayonnaise based sauce (not sure what it's called). A few of the sides could use a bit of retooling--fries, corn,and green beans excepted. The noodles tasted like canned, the rice overlooked, and a quite frankly way too thick "tortilla". It looked like the illegitimate child of Mr. Sope and Ms. Pita, very dense and almost wet. They would be better off with a traditional tortilla that is foldable and in my perfect world offered in corn or flour. The plates/portions are #HUGE. Two can share. The seating is sparse and typical fast foodish. Nothing fancy. Chicken Loco is worth a visit. Enjoy!

    Half chicken with two sides  $8.96 (totally worth it)

    I've been passing by this place for many years and after a friend recommended it, I'm glad I decided to try it. During my most recent visit I was really impressed with my experience. Although the line was long, it moved very quickly. The staff is very friendly and my meal was absolutely delicious. You will definitely get a lot for your money here. Although Sardi's and some other Peruvian spots are probably more popular, this place is certainly a hidden gem. You will not be disappointed!!

    1/2 chicken, plantains and rice & beans.

    What are great place! We ordered the whole chicken, fried rice and green beans. The chicken is…read moreabsolutely amazing. Comes out piping hot and fresh, tons of white meat and the sauces are delicious. The chicken is cooked on a wood fired rotisserie so it has a great flavor from the wood. Service is great. We sat at a table and they brought it to our table. Get extra napkins...that chicken is juicy and easier to eat with your hands.

    I have always preferred this location. Results across locations has been inconsistent for years…read more This time in Beltsville I ordered two have chicken white. The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

    I haven't been here in awhile and forgot how amazing the food is at Amazonia! Loved everything…read moreordered! I ordered one hot and one cold dish. The Cebiche Clasico is exploding with flavor, I would order this time and time again. I also ordered the Patarashca which was the market fish. The fish was coooked perfectly and I enjoyed the red sauce. However, I didn't really care for the fried plantain and they seemed a bit out of place. The only negatives are the portion sizes are smaller than ideal and the server rarely came around. Overall, great restaurant and will be back!

    Stumbled into Amazonia after not being able to secure reservations at Realm Lounge up the street…read moreand still wanting to be on a rooftop. Amazonia is located in a back alley off of 9th street and is surrounded by a whole bunch of other restaurants and bars that I head people rave about all the time. We were quickly able to get seated at Amazonia. Causa their sister restaurant that is a prix fixed menu that you pre pay for was all booked up. Heading upstairs the decor was beautiful and I loved all of the fresh plants everywhere. We decided on doing their restaurant week menu so we could try a lot of different things. I can't recall what the dishes were exactly but they were all really tasty with the steak dish with veggies being a stand out. I loved how every dish was very unique and unlike anything I'd had before. I loved my first drink a tropical Negroni and then the drink with the bubbles was even better. Service was great also by the way. Our server was amazing at making recommendations. Overall the bill came out to about $300 for 2 people this place is def not cheap and I would probably only come back for a special occasion and being treated.
