Added this place to rotation for dinner every few weeks. The dinner for a family (4) is a lot of food at a very reasonable price. The chicken is very tasty and sides like rice, beans, plantains, sweet potato fries, and mashed potatoes certainly ensure there is: something for everyone. The sauces are also delicious! Service was fast and friendly and while there were seats for casual dining this is probably better for takeout as the food transports well. read more

Why do people lie on these reviews. First time ordering from this establishment today through DoorDash. The chicken smell good but that's about it. The middle of my chicken was cold I mean cold and most of the breast was red. The rice was old and the black beans were so watered down. They were leaking from the lid of the container. FIRST AND LAST DAMN time I will order from this place. Good thing DoorDash will be refunding my money after I sent pics of the chicken and a very detailed reason on why I wanted a refund. THIS PLACE GETS ZERO stars honestly for selling uncooked CHICKEN. Freaking CHICKEN!! read more

The food is good and service is fast. It's takeout only, and when you order online, it's ready by the time you pick it up.

Very average rotisserie chicken. Plus the smallest piece of chicken I've ever seen. Portions are small for what you pay. Go to the tons of other rotisserie places in the DMV for good rotisserie and a better value. read more

Crisp & Juicy is my go-to spot when I'm craving flavorful Peruvian-style chicken. The food is always fresh, the seasoning is perfect, and their sauces are the real MVPs--I could eat them with everything!

Chicken is good . Gotta tell them leave it on the grill to get crispy chicken! Rice is good . Don't care for the fries bc they always look burnt and taste dry . read more

This store is located in a very good shopping center. The area is across the street from the red line subway Metro line too. This was my first time eating here for breakfast. The order process is by machine. Although, I wanted my egg sandwich to be fried hard, they already had an egg mixture that they used. I didn't want the cheese or salt added. I'm glad they didn't add cheese to the mixture but there was slightly amount of salt in the mixture. It was a good egg sandwich but i wished they could have fried it instead. Overall, the value for this combo meal, which included coffee and orange juice, was very good. read more

Lives up to the name... the chicken is CRISP and JUICY! Great comfort food and portions!

This was incredibly mids. Messed up my order after telling the staff what happened he seemed annoyed and angry to be at the job in the first place. Eventually fixed it but was slow. This is more of a carry out spot I guess but the service was sub par and the food was solid but Kensington is better read more

I love trying all the different Peruvian chicken places across the dmv and this one was probably the most disappointing one I've had. The positives would be that primavera rice was stellar just a smaller portion than you'd expect from a place like this. The negatives would be, the chicken while standard was a bit saltier than other places. The yuca was a weird gray color and flavorless (I always get yuca at these places and this was the first time it didn't feel fresh or properly cooked). Then there's the sauce. I got, yellow. red(spicy version of yellow) and green (jalepeno). Green was fine, but yellow and red felt....spoiled? Very thin, bland and a really strange aftertaste. I usually split my typical order into two lunches because it's so good I want it for more than one meal, but this is the first time where I not only didn't finish my food, but tossed the rest in the trash. If I hadn't had a 50% coupon from uber, this would have been an even bigger disappointment. Probably won't choose CNJ over more reliable choices like El Pollo Rico or Super Pollo again. read more

We ordered the family meal- whole chicken, with sides of salad, yucca, and rice and beans. Our favorite thing was the sauce - it was absolutely delicious but not even close to enough for the meal. I'd say we needed double what we were given to have enough. The Caesar salad was decent size, but wasn't anything but cheese, lettuce and dressing. The white meat of the chicken was dry, though the dark meat was good. The rice and beans were ok. The fried yucca was by far the best tasting food we had. Unfortunately, overall we were underwhelmed. Maybe we'll give it another go one day. read more

This is a man amazing Peruvian roasted chicken everyone has to try! I really recommend this place read more

This place is a running joke in our family. The realastate person I bought our first home was all about Peruvian Chicken. We gave it a try, it was like $50 for a huge platter of food, wanted to celebrate in our now Condo (Mind you this was in 2014 so maybe much better now). There was nothing to write home to Mom about. Would have been more happy throwing some frozen chicken wings in the oven on broil. Nuf Said. read more

Good food and fast service! I went there around 10:30 pm last night and everything was fresh and delicious. read more

My go to for a quick healthy and delicious meal. I love the electronic ordering in the front of the store. It makes it super convenient. Also the chicken is always seasoned to perfection and awesome. read more

The food at Crisp & Juicy is truly excellent. The chicken is amazing and so are the sauces. It is so refreshing to be able to order delicious, affordable food that is not dripping in grease. Definitely more of a carry-out spot than dine-in location, but excellent nonetheless. read more

I LOVE Crisp & Juicy. My food is always hot & my order is always correct. The staff at the Tenleytown location are super nice & friendly. I HIGHLY recommend you try it! read more

How can something be both Crisp and Juicy? It's like one of those oxymorons because it can't be both, right? Wrong - check it out dawg - somehow they got it. And it's not burned or soggy?!?! If it was burned or soggy I think peeps would call this place Pissed and Poopy. Or something else that doesn't have to really rhyme with it - I just thought for a second that I could pull it off. But I'm not going to delete it because I'm straight up. I don't lie. I like a lot of food but I hate more food than I like. Peruvian Chicken is pretty good - especially when it is both Crisp and Juicy (and they tell you that when you walk in so you're all ready to judge but they know that you'll probably Rule in their Flavor - see what I did there? That's pretty funny. Maybe I'll start being a Judge and that will be my catch phrase - "Today I rule In Flavor of the Defendant- Crisp and Juicy! Court is Dismissed! I am the honorable Judge Bud. Taste Bud. And my mouth is the most respected Mouth of the South. But by South I mean south of Heaven. Thank you read more

I love Crisp and Juicy. Been coming here since 2015 on a regular basis, but they really need to stop using harsh bleach solutions to mop their floors, especially when customers are eating inside. It makes the whole place smell awful like ammonia. read more

The food was mediocre and the order was missing items I paid for. When I tried to call the restaurant, staff would not answer the phone so I could not work toward a resolution. 2. The restaurant steers you to use their web ordering platform as providing perks like points and supposedly lower prices, but there is no way to contact them should their be a problem with your order, and messages sent to their online contact email go unacknowledged and unanswered. 3. When you do order from their platform, they included undisclosed fees (in violation of DC Law) 4. As for the food, the yucca wasn't fully cooked. 5. The chicken was just okay, I recommend ordering from El Pollo Sabroso in Columbia Heights--the food is much better. Or Chicken and Whiskey on 14th street. read more

Rude staff. Delicious food. I had the chicken salad with chorizo sausage. I ordered via Apple Pay. They arranged the order via Grubhub. I never was notified that my order was ready. read more

I had a chicken sandwich and a coke Paid $14. Worst chicken sandwich I've had. Served on a cheap hamburger bun. I asked for an extra sauce and they looked at me like I was asking for a lot. Don't recommend this place. Not sure why people go here. (Arlington) read more

Good fries. Unfortunately I ordered a couple gluten free item that were never delivered. It should have been easy to leave the croutons off. But they didn't pick up the phone when I tried to reach them. read more

Unsuspecting goodness! I was quite surprised as to how GOOD and flavorful the food was at this little shop tucked away near American Uni. The chicken was really fresh and flavorful throughout, not just the skin. The Yucca was the best - I don't know where else I could find authentic yucca like this besides East Africa! Out of all the sauces, I enjoyed the pink sauce the most. Service was great, prices are reasonable, and there wasn't really a wait. Parking is street only, make sure to fill those meters! definitely recommend and I would come back! read more

Soggy frenchy fries, soggy skin on whole chicken with way too much salt, soggy yucca fries, "Managers Special" wasn't so special. The sauces were only ok, had a mass-produced taste, not much flavor, again lots of salt. The Arrow Chaufa (fried rice) was good. The wait staff were nice, efficient. Disappointing, I won't go back. read more

Absolutely delicious juicy amazing chicken! And the mash sweet potatoes were fantastic as well. Highly recommend, this is a great place.

The food is delicious and never disappoints- make sure to get some of the green sauce!! And the Service is quick and very helpful! :-)

This is my 2nd time having an issue with a lady cashier at the Wisconsin Avenue location she pretty much rushed me to order and  i had a special to order and she declined it and said  If I can't hurry up and decide you can go somewhere else. I called and talked to a manager about it but I don't think they ever talked to her about the situation so I'm writing by email because this needs to be addressed ASAP.  Hope from hearing from by email or a phone call thank you.  Incident took place Friday 7/25/20 445 pm read more

I ordered the $30 family platter which had two whole chickens and two large sides. They gave the two tiny white sauces for it ( their like little teaspoons.) For me the white sauce makes the meal. The next day I was driving in the area so I swung by and politely asked them to give more, and no longer skimp their customers. They proceeded to charged me 50 cents for every new one they gave me. I ended up having to buy five white sauces for my leftovers. Others have complained about this. read more

Great chicken! Super awesome Chicken crazy epic chicken. Would recommend have a bunch of sides. read more

Definitely a great meal to get the chicken platter with sweet plantains and rice/beans. Came after a workout and got filled up with a nice savory and sweet portion. Definitely a solid option if you're looking to switch it up. read more

Favorite chicken spot around! Chicken is always good, sides are even better. They never disappoint :)

Easy to use ordering tablets, good chicken, fast service Would recommend the primavera rice as a side. read more

Small place but extremely flavorful chicken and good portions. Had the fried rice, white rice and black beans and of course their chicken by itself. Great seasoning and not overly greasy. Reasonable price for all of it. Great place for a good, cheap meal read more

I've been a customer of Crisp and Juicy in Tenleytown since this place first opened, and I won't be returning after today. I placed an order for pickup, and proceeded to the store to get my order. When I entered the store, there was no one near the counter - it looked like the place was abandoned. I was soon greeted by a surly employee who mumbled something completely incomprehensible. I had no idea what he said. I asked, "excuse me?" and he mumbled incomprehensibly again. I have trouble hearing sometimes, but I don't even think that was the issue. He was just mumbling in a surly tone. When asking what he said once again he addressed me in an aggressive, rude way. The guy just seemed like he hated working there and projects his anger onto customers. Reading the other reviews, it seems this guy has a habit of being rude to customers. It's really a shame. This establishment should look into hiring more friendly, accommodating staff. I've worked in the customer service area in the past for 5+ years, and this level of disrespect and bitterness towards customers would never be tolerated. These types of employees leave a bad taste in the mouth of their customers. Many establishments don't realize it, but one bad customer service experience is enough to lose a loyal customer for life - as is now the case with me. I certainly won't be spending money here again as there are a number of food options in the area that preferable in terms of quality, taste, price, and customer service. If you want some Peruvian chicken without the extra, unnecessary spice from customer service, I'd recommend the famous chain, which is located just a couple of blocks down the same street. read more
