    Private barrel selection of Maker's Mark

    This place is tucked behind a restaurant focusing on chicken. The bar is well done. They have DJ's on weekend. A very good selection of bourbons.

    Really great service and delicious empanadas. I actually preferred the chicken. It was really fast but it seemed like items were made to order. The staff were super nice. I was here for an early dinner on a weekday but I think it would be great to try their roast chicken and whiskey next time.

    One of those spots I never skip when I'm in DC. Their pollo a la brasa is absolutely the best in the country--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. My go-to sides are the yuca fritas and sweet plantains, both so delicious. They offer other sides like arroz chaufa, veggies, beans, etc Prices? Unbeatable Besides their rotisserie chicken (peruvian - venezuelan style), they also serve up wraps, salads, arepas, and more--plenty of options if you're craving something different. Big shoutout to the crew at the counter--your energy and customer service are always beyond special. You guys make the experience even better. Pro tip: Don't miss the hidden bar behind the back doors--it's a whole vibe and 100% worth checking out- also great drinks

    1/2 Chicken Dark
    Che C.

    New to the area I found Chicken +Whiskey on a food delivery app. I love Peruvian food so I had to give them a try. I ordered the half chicken dark, half bean & rice and sweet plantains. I also ordered a Inka Kola. At first glance I was surprised at the portion. There were two pieces of chicken on a bed of 1/3 c of rice. I was like this can't be all the rice. Then when I looked in the bag the bowl with beans also had rice in it. Odd packaging but I guess altogether it was about a cup of rice. Then the sweet plantains were packaged separately. The chicken was way too salty and the rice and beans had no salt. The sweet plantains were not completely cooked. I was saddened because Peruvian food is always a hit for me and with the high ratings I expected good things. Perhaps it was an off night. There were no utensils in the bag which to me was a missed opportunity to make a good impression. Considering the food was being delivered to a hotel and folks usually need utensils away from home. On the fence about if I would order from here again, but if I did, I would probably go in person instead of ordering through a food app.

    Great Peruvian food I will definitely be back. Customer service was ok and I do like the area it's located. Check it out!

    Love this place for their chicken! The meal can relatively be healthy and there is indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a pretty good happy hour special. The service is great. You can order your food in a line or from a bartender and they will bring it to you. It is pretty quick since most of the chicken and sides are made. The decor is what you'd expect from a rotisserie chicken place.

    I used to love taking whiskey and remember and it was just this location on 14th with a really cool back bar. Unfortunately now the quality has gone down as time has gone along and it really has reached a sad point. I ordered a chicken sandwich tonight and basically seeing the bacon bits instead of actual bacon barely enough chicken to fill the bun. It's really quite sad. But it was speedy so I gotta give them that.

    This is our go to spot for casual dining with a group of friends. We often go here for dinner and get their combo meal. It used to be $50 but they have increased the price to $60. It's still worth it. They give you two whole roasted chicken ( very tender and flavorful) with 4 sides. Highly recommend the Yuka fries, rice and roasted veggies. Doughnuts are good as well. It also comes with soda. It's good portion for 4 people. It's self serve kinda place.

    Some cocktails

    This place is the epitome of a mullet - business in the front and party in the back. I dropped by Chicken + Whiskey on a early Saturday evening to meet a few acquaintances. While visiting the boy's room, I noticed a bar in the back of the restaurant. Clearly, I missed the big sign on the wall in the restaurant saying "Whiskey in the back". ;) Since I arrived a bit early for my meetup, I decided to check out the bar...Also, I was quite excited to have an adult beverage while waiting for my acquaintances. I'll say that I loved both the chicken and whiskey components of Chicken + Whiskey. I think this is the perfect business model, because you can party in the bar and grab a bite to eat before or afterwards. Whiskey: The bar component has a MASSIVE selection of whiskey options, which is to be expected from the + Whiskey. Also, it has a nice mix of various cocktails, so I think everyone can find something that they will like. For my tasting pleasure, I went with "I can buy myself flowers" (of course I ordered it how Miley Cyrus sings it) and a standard Manhattan on the rocks. Both drinks were delicious although gin-based beverage (I can buy myself flowers) was a bit too sweet for my liking. My bartender (a woman with brownish/reddish hair) was absolutely amazing. Chicken: The restaurant component is a typical Peruvian rotisserie chicken operation with plenty of chicken and side options. For my meal, I went with 1/4 white chicken with two sides (mac n queso and fried rice). The chicken was very delicious with oh so juicy meat. The mac n queso was just ok, but the fried rice (arroz chufa) was amazing especially with the bits of bacon mixed in. The meal was about $14, which I thought was reasonable. Since I did not get enough gin and whiskey from the whiskey bar, I decided to wash my meal down with a can of a hazy IPA. The can of beer was $9, which I thought was a little pricey. But, it is what it is, I guess. Overall, I definitely will love to visit Chicken + Whiskey again, especially the Whiskey part, because I really would like to try more of their cocktails. One note: While you can take your beverages from the Whiskey part to the Chicken part, it is HIGHLY recommended (actually, it might be a rule) that you do not bring food from the Chicken part to the Whiskey part. If you want bites while in the Whiskey part, you can over food from the bar's menu.

    Chicken empendas
    Jack C.

    Got there Sunday night around 7pm after it had started to snow and it was comfy. Solid roasted chicken, yucca fries and plantains for sides. They were out of the roasted vegetables. also tried their chicken empanadas which was mostly potatoes than chicken but still tasty. When I went to order some churros just after 8pm, they had decided to close down the kitchen early for staff meals. Was kind of annoyed as I see the hours posted on yelp to be till 11pm. Wasn't in the mood to try out the speak easy in the back.

    Imperfecto is a one star Michelin star restaurant specializing in Mediterranean/Latin fusion…read morecuisine. It is located a few blocks from the Washington circle park in Washington DC Service is excellent with attentive and friendly staff, from the hostess welcoming you, to the manager and al the way to the servers. The ambiance is relatively casual, with comfortable, nautical theme of blue and white decor with gold accents. Easy listening music set the stage for a comfortable dining experience, either with coworkers or for a special night out. Their wine and alcoholic drinks selection was wide and their mocktails were equally as interesting. You can definitely see the interesting Mediterranean/Latin fusion in all the dishes. From the ingredients and spices picked for each, to the presentation and flavor profiles, it all screams fusion. Even though we didn't go for the chef's tasting this time, our party got to try and share quite a few dishes.: To start, we were received by a mushroom and truffle cream soup shot. Tasty and creamy, great way to open the appetite. For the appetizer round we ordered the moussaka cigars and falafel. The moussaka cigars were perfectly delicate and airy, yet flavorful, stuffed with eggplant and ground lamb and pine nuts, served with a creamy manchego goat cheese dip to balance the crispy, fluffy phyllo dough. The falafel was equally delicate and light, served with a Latin tahini spiced with sumac and cinnamon. For the main course, we got to try three different dishes: The mushroom risotto - very interesting flavor profile. The crispy fried maitake mushrooms topped the perfectly cooked, creamy risotto, which was surprisingly acidic in a very refreshing way. The lechón was delicious. A generous portion of tender, fall off the bone, suckling pig, including a super crispy skin, served on a date mole with zucchini blossom and a side of zucchini salad with radish, olives and pepitas, definitely stole the show. The only criticism I would have is the zucchini blossom was a bit too oily probably due to the drench they used before frying. Other than that, it was a really well balanced dish. The Lamb terrine was served on top of potato puree, red cabbage confit and lamb juice topped with generous shavings of black truffle. Beautiful to eat with your eyes and equally as delicious on the pallad. For dessert we ordered the pistachio and yoghurt dresser with consisted of a delicious salty pistachio ice cream served with a dulce the leche foam and yogurt, served on a raspberry sauce and topped with a crispy Mille-feuille cookie. Fascinating dessert and incredibly well balanced. The sweetness of the Dulce the leche foam was expertly balanced by the pistachio ice cream and the raspberry sauce provided some acidity. The cookie gave a textural component much needed by all the other soft/smooth elements. Definitely try it out if it's on the menu. I would definitely recommend Imperfecto. I know I'd come back!

    We ate at Imperfecto for Restaurant Week 2024…read more Vibes: formal, cool-toned interior. Friendly but rushed severs. Food: Aladdin burrata - Dark horse. This ended up being my favorite when I thought it would the most boring dish. The crispiness of the fried lentils paired with creamy burrata and hummus was divine and popped in texture. Sea bream - Fresh and delicious. The included tostada is very crispy so it's a multi-sensory experience to taste the food and hear the crunch in your ears. Lamb Terrine - Lamb was fine, tasted like pulled lamb in a block. The flavor was mostly in the sauce and that flavor was "salty". Tagliatelle - Also fine, the truffle doesn't over power. Didn't quite catch any summer corn notes. Beef Wellington with Empanada - Hard pass. Saw another table order it and was curious. Not as good as it looks and way too expensive for what it was.

    Fajita Sub? Really?…read more Yes..really! Take a look at the pic. It is every bit as delicious as it looks. Every ingredient fresh with homemade sauces and the most perfectly baked bread you can have for a sub. The menu options are overwhelming at first, so I ended up settling on their namesake sandwich.

After adding a Sugar Cane Mojito Lemonade, the grand total came to less than $10. This for one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life...and it could have fed two people!

I used to get arepas all the time from the Fajita Sub Factory (they had a trailer) when I used to live in Silver Spring. Soo sooo good! The owner is so passionate and an amazing cook! She makes the arepas and even the seitan and all of the sauces. I was so glad that I saw her and got the Vegan Dream arepa with Venezulan cheese and plantains. It's only a $1 extra for unlimited toppings. I added the garlic crema sauce on top (the sauces are self-serve, you must try them!). For $10, I had one of the best lunches in DC. Everything was packed with flavor from the cheese, plaintains, to the seitan and grilled veggies and the SAUCE, aww the sauce. Was stuffed afterwards, totally worth it!
