I've tried ordering via Door Dash from this restaurant on two different occasions. Both times my…read moreorders arrived with issues. The first time was with my husband's entree it wasn't even in the bag. We called the restaurant instead of DoorDash and they admitted they'd made a mistake and sent an employee to deliver the missing entree. Then, tonight I ordered a meal with two sides and it came with almost half a pot of green beans and no potatoes. Whatever you do, don't choose a to go or DoorDash option. Additionally, my steak was overcooked making just about the entire meal unenjoyable.

This new location is spacious, clean, and has great food. I got the quarter chicken platter with white meat, brussel sprouts, and yucca fries. Each platter comes with sides and each side looks so good you'll definitely have a hard time deciding. I also got some green sauce and white sauce too. The chicken was super flavorful, moist, and fell right off the bone. It was sooo good! The brussels had a surprising kick to them and were nice and tender. The yucca fries took an extra few minutes to come out since they were frying them up fresh for us and it was worth the wait! They have several locations but the food doesn't taste like a chain, if you know what I mean. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone craving some delicious Peruvian style chicken.

El Gran Pollo was just okay…read more I got the chicken burrito & bf had the chicken burrito bowl. Oh and I also got plantains (which they initially forgot but thankfully I checked the bag before I left.) Bf liked his bowl. He's been here a couple of times before and always enjoys. This was my first time and might have to head on back to chipotle lol. Which sucks because I wanted authentic Hispanic food. The flavors were somewhat there. The plantain wasn't ripe!!! How does one fry unripe plantain :-( :-( :-( I might, key word MIGHT, try again.

There was no flavors in the chicken or rice, but the fried plantains were sweet just how I like them. The portion size and the sauces are the only good thing I can say about this establishment.

The Cashier was low key rude lol no smile or greeting. I think I tipped bc she was so unwelcoming (crazy right I know the guilt of hitting no tip) lol I should have drove to a different place same food near the Safeway down Reisterstown Rd- they speak and they give larger fresh portions.

You have to be buzzed in and the dining room is literally the size of my living room. Very intimate. The food was superb. Stellar. Outstanding. Truly, each course was delicious, with layers of flavor and unexpected combinations. The ceviche in an intensely limey coconut broth started off the meal and I thought that if everything else sucked I would still be happy. But the dishes kept getting better. I did not anticipate enjoying veal heart skewers, but they were smoky and very reminiscent of good carne asada. The purple corn tamale was a very interesting mix of heavier corn with light ahi tuna. And even the little bowl of plantain chips they bring out first was excellent. This is a set menu, 5 courses on the weekdays and 6 on the weekends, and is a bring your own alcohol set up. As a result, there is almost no interaction with the waitress, and the food just arrives, but it is timed very well, with reasonable periods between courses.

I had a good experience at Puerto 511. I went on a Saturday night for a nice solo dinner. It was a…read morepleasant dining experience. The dishes came out at a good pace. I did not feel rushed until the desert course was served with the check. The variety of the dishes was fun to experience; each course was very different. Puerto 511 does really well with seafood. My favorites courses were the Ceviche Amazonico and the Tamalito Verde. The flavors were incredible. The Pulpo en su Causa was also a very interesting dish. The combination of ingredients and the inclusion of a cold mashed potato component were both innovative. I was disappointed with the other courses, though. The veal was tough, the lamp chop was tough, and the desert was not very flavorful. The quinoa flan and the passionfruit ice cream did not match very well in flavor or texture. The restaurant building itself was ok. The ambiance did not indicate fine dining to me. The service was not very personable. I would like to come back sometime in a different season, when there is a new menu. But overall, I would say Puerto 511 is definitely a dining experience worth trying.

The stove is right behind the counter and there was no ventilation in the restaurant. It was hotter inside than outside which made it unbearable to eat there. That's why we took our food to go. The quesadilla itself was not special. I wish they gave more sour cream. The pupusas were better than the quesadilla but I feel like that doesn't say much.

Very simple to get to and quite a decent amount of parking. I went on a Saturday Afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all, but it should be with how amazing the food is! Vibes were pretty dope. Lots of outdoor seating and some music playing. Ordered the Pernil Arepa, Chicken Rice Bowl, and Pulled Pork Rice Bowl. If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing! And you can customize your bowls with add one to your liking such as roasted corn, avocado, cheese, plantains and more! Loved it and will definitely make it part of my itinerary whenever I'm in the area.

Your typical counter side ordering fast-casual set up with fountain drink dispenser and booth/table self serve seating. I ordered three chicken tacos and three beef tacos (I really was starving) she ordered a 1/4 of a chicken with fried yucca. We saw many people go up to the windows and order to go orders and get their food quickly and leave even a couple get their dine in orders quickly. We waited for over 25 mins. I went up and asked and they went to the back and said it would be a short wait. About 10 mins later I got my tacos (the longest I have ever waited for tacos anywhere) but she still didnt have her chicken. The tacos were okay, the chicken tacos were a little dry and sauce was a little lackluster in flavor. She went up and asked and they forgot and got it out in 10 more minutes and delivered it to the table. 45 mins is unacceptable for rotisserie chicken which they have practically waiting to chop and serve (just like they did on all the to go orders) beyond that if they found out they forgot something, why wait for the yucca to be done, they should have served the chicken on the spot saying they yucca would be done shortly instead of having a hungry guest wait. Over all the food was okay at best and plus the elongated wait time just made for a bad experience. It seemed that no one working had any sense of urgency. Probably would not go back.

I had a date at a pool party, dropped her back off in the far northwest side of Baltimore City, looked at my AMC movie app to determine if any times work at Owings Mills or elsewhere within reason. Saw a mediocre movie and went for a late dinner after 8 PM, and this was a solid Peruvian chicken. I was trying to eat healthy getting 1/4 chicken white, green side salad, & green beans. Green beans were very good as was the chicken. Staff was nice. While it's not in my top favorite Peruvian chicken, it was solid. Unfortunate, I haven't made it back over here, but very rare I ever go to AMC Owings Mills for movie.
