And you get so much food in a meal. Fast delivery too! I don't even think I need to review this place because everyone else agrees. I'm just here to spread my love for this place and everyone that works there.

The spice is a powdered seasoning that they add to the chicken. Waffle fries (large) - 3.*5 my partner liked them more than I did but still decent fries. Probably wouldn't get the large again and just stick with the medium.

I came for the fried chicken but fell in love with the BBQ!!! Actually it was all delivered but you…read moreknow what I mean. I'll get the only fail out of the way. The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

I don't recall any meat in the greens. And, the Mac and cheese, I enjoyed the texture, but wish the flavor profile had sharp cheddar cheese, but it was still good. Making my way through the list of things worth trying so far --the visit score is 2 & 0!

It's always fresh, consistent, and they have some other dishes on their menu that you don't see in other Peruvian spots. The owner is the hardest working guy I know. He's always there and always friendly- even though my Spanish is probably atrocious. I crave the sopa de pollo and that "secret" yellow sauce is delicious.

Very tasty Peruvian diner. All 4 of us loved our meals. I had the Peruvian wrap with their super…read moredelicious chicken. It came with French fries and salad. The salad dressing was creme based.

Right off the bike trail which was very convenient.

There's lots of street parking around, but no dedicated parking lot. The restaurant wasn't huge but just such great vibes. We got a couple sandwiches, potato wedges, and honey butter rolls. Everything was flawless! The potato wedges had a great seasoning and weren't dry, which can be hard to do. The honey butter rolls had the perfect blend of salty and sweet. And the chicken was just incredible. It really might be some of the best chicken in DC!

The "sour cream" that they charge $1.80 for is about a 1/4 cup size and is watered down like I've never seen. Couldn't believe I paid for sour cream water. The fajita I ordered hardly had any chicken in it. As, I mentioned the first two times was superb but this time has me never wanting to order from this location again.

Possibly my last time coming here today…read more Staff is very friendly, not much complaints about the food but they miss things a lot here. Especially the mixed vegetables, be sure to check because a month ago I asked them if they included the mixed vegetables and they said No, and ended up cooking them after I asked. Today they included the mixed vegetables for one platter although the chicken was a bit dry, 2nd platter for the quesadilla they missed the pico and sour cream.

I ordered 2 whiting plates. One with collard greens with smoked turkey and fries and the other with Mac n cheese and rice and gravy. The fries were good. The whiting was fried to perfection. I also like the greens (I'm a southerner so I'm a bit hard to please). Everything was reasonably priced. The restaurant had nice music playing and has a bit of a lounge feel with the dark walls. It wasn't crowded on a Friday during lunch time. I'd go back for sure.

There is some parking in front and there is a parking garage that is within walking distance. I ordered wings and a meatloaf platter that came with two sides. I ordered lemon pepper and the sticky wings. The wings were crispy but lacked the lemon pepper flavor. I wish the stinky wings had more of the sauce on them. The meatloaf was seasoned well. You could get smothered with gravy or their bbq sauce. For my sides I ordered the greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greens were seasoned well. I don't know if I would go back, simply because it was really far out for me. If you are in the area I would say am check it out. The staff and service was amazing.
