We all know the Peruvian chicken spots can be hit or miss, based on a lot of factors, however this…read moreplace in Waldorf MD is a total consistent home run! I have been there more times than I can count and every time, everything is excellent from the service to the product. If you want excellent Peruvian food, this is the spot!!!! Dine in or out you can't go wrong and make sure you try the Cilantro rice, and if you are not a fan of Cilantro, then get the Peruvian fried rice!!!! Wifey had a taste for this and did a drive by so we dined at home and it was beyond DELISH! This establishment is a 9 star (leaving one spot for 10).

I am extremely disappointed with both Silvestre Chicken and Grubhub regarding an order totaling…read more$48.14 that I paid for but never received. I contacted Grubhub to request a refund for the food that was not delivered. Grubhub told me that I needed to obtain the refund from the merchant. I then went directly to Silvestre Chicken to try to resolve the issue, but the merchant refused to refund my money and stated that the problem was Grubhub's responsibility because they handled the delivery. So where does that leave the customer? I am out $48.14, I received no food, and neither company is willing to take responsibility for making the situation right. Whether the failure occurred with the restaurant or the delivery service should be resolved between Silvestre Chicken and Grubhub--not at the customer's expense. I paid for a product and delivery service that I did not receive. What is most frustrating is being sent back and forth between two businesses, with each pointing the finger at the other while my money remains gone. Customer service should involve finding a solution, not simply shifting responsibility. I cannot recommend Silvestre Chicken or Grubhub based on this experience. Customers should be aware that if an order is not delivered, they may find themselves caught between the merchant and the delivery service trying to determine who is responsible for issuing the refund. No food. No refund. $48.14 paid--and the customer is left with the loss.

I substituted the beans with the plantains and this was a great choice as the plantains were plentiful and delicious! The white rice was also sticky yumminess.

I wasn't a fan of the octopus-- eat octopus a lot so the bar is very high. I did like the corn and what accompanied the dish, but the octopus itself wasn't seasoned or cooked well. My Peruvian friend wanted to try the pasta, and we both agreed it was all right, but nothing special. Very little meat on the dish. I most likely wouldn't get it again. I also ordered the Pisco Chicha and I thought it was alright, a little too sweet but ok.

The food was delicious and so well made! The half chicken was what we got and it's alot of food so be ready to eat! The rice, plantains, and yuca are so yummy, highly recommend any of those sides.

After over 15 years since this experience I've…read morepatronized quite a few different places and ventured back to where the journey began to compare. Spoiler Alert: It's number 1. Though what I really like about the place changed. When I first went all they offered was Chicken, Cole slaw, and fries. In a world of many option I actually thought this sent a message that we are so good we only offer a limited choice that's you will enjoy. Tbf the fries can't compete w McD or Chikfila Waffle fries but they were good. The service counter is modernized and they are efficient and friendly. The layout if the restaurant is still basic like the limited menu they used to have. No frills no gimmicks just good food. Still the same vibe The chicken was still very good. Other places are fairly close but Apollo Rico is just a touch better. The charred seasoning is evident. What tipped the scales for me in comparison to other places I've been is the green sauce. It liked fresh. It wasnt like other places where that has the consistency of ketchup it looked bright green and freshly made vs other places where it seems as if it was poured out a container.

Everyone there was very friendly and they seemed to care a lot that I was enjoying my food. Absolutely recommend this place. Forgot to take pictures because I was so excited to eat.

It came out hot and recently cooked. The chicken was dry but able to eat. The fried plantains were really good. The onion rings were decent. My wife ordered the same but she got the yuca fries which were a little dry but the special sauce was good.
