    Overall: delicious Peruvian food, fair prices, large portion sizes, fast-casual ambiance, fine…read moreservice, with single-stall gendered restrooms and no changing table I'm a big fan of Peruvian food and I love when you can order family style. It makes eating out much for affordable and you can try more things. The chicken was juicy and flavorful but the skin was still crisped to perfection. The plantains, French fries, veggies and tres leches were all on point. I'm not a huge Mac and cheese fan, but my family devoured it. The music was loud, the tables were clean, the employees were kind, and our food came out fast. Thank goodness for the internet because I would have never thought to visit this place from the looks of it outside, but it definitely exceeded my expectations and I left feeling happy and full. I loved the spice of the green sauce and the yellow one was tasty too.

    summary: Don Pollo is a "chain" restaurant of Peruvian chicken and it's got generous portion sizes…read moreand tasty side options that are pretty synonymous with Peruvian chicken restaurants. In one word, I would describe Don Pollo as solid. There's a good selection of items on the menu and to me Peruvian chicken spots have become kind of similar to how KFC/Popeyes felt back in the day where families could go in and order a platter-style selection for their family. That's what we happened to do that day where we ordered the rotisserie chicken for a family of 4. The portion sizes were generous and all of the sides (plaintains, fries, salad, and mac&cheese) were tasty. The service is pretty "DIY" where you order with a cashier and everything at that point is on you (bus your own tables). The venue itself was ok. The location is tucked away in a pretty old strip mall and a lot of the restaurant kind of reflects that. The bathrooms felt a bit old and required a passcode to get in. All in all, I don't have complaints for our experience here and it was a tasty stop that was perfect for a family.

    I visited this place today 12.27.2025 and it has a new name: Palmeras Restaurant. It showed on the…read moreoutside of the establishment as well as on the receipt. The service was great, with the waitresses accommodating a table for 6 right away. I was surprised that on a Saturday night, at 6:30pm the restaurant was empty. Nevertheless the food was good. The yuca was fried well, the plantains were sweet. The parts that were not as good was the fried fish and quality of the meat. I would say that it has the home cooked meal flavor but for the prices, I was expecting better quality. Also when asked about the mango juice, I was told they made it in-house. I guess that can be misinterpreted as it felt like it was made from powder.

    Saritas and the surrounding shopping mall is as if a little bit of Latin America was dropped right…read moreinto the US. The one server that speaks the best English out of the servers will automatically be assigned to your table and the entire clientele except for your gringo butt will be Latino. A little awkward at times, but overall comprehensible. The menu is quite extensive- including the lunch special it spans about 4 pages of not more, with the seafood section being the longest and a section dedicated to Peruvian chicken. The SO and I were all turkeyed out so we wanted something flavorful that did not resemble the festive bird. We ordered ceviche and Jalea and opted for the pescado (fish only) option. The servings was plentiful and the presentation was excellent. The dishes were served with a green hot sauce (similar to the green sauce at el pollo rico). The food is good but not amazing- the fish (tilapia) tastes like the frozen fillets you get from Costco. The batter on the Jalea was thin and not very flavorful or crisp. The best thing about this dish was the yucca. The dishes weren't much cheaper than our go-to Peruvian joint, La Limena, in fact it might have been a hair more expensive despite being a more casual place (total bill for ceviche and Jalea with 2 dollars in drinks was a little over 31 dollars without tip). There is no alcohol from what I could tell. They charge for bottled water in classic Latin American fashion (something I still cannot get overrrrrr). Overall, if you can make the treck out to La Limena I'll definitely make that choice over Sarita's, but it's not a bad choice in general. It's essentially a joint for locals to shoot the sh-- with one another and/or have a no frills meal with their families, not fancy adventures in exotic cuisines or a place to celebrate birthdays or impress guests. They do have an eight dollar lunch special that sounds pretty good and would probably be worth trying.

    Another excellent experience at La Limeña in Rockville…read more We started with several appetizers and everything was outstanding. The crab causa was fresh and well balanced, and the fish tiradito had great flavor with the perfect level of acidity. For the mains, the Mondonguito a la Italiana was excellent--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The Jalea Mixta was crispy, generous, and served with fresh red onions, cancha, and a great tartar sauce. The Surtido juice was also delicious--fresh, refreshing, and perfectly blended. A special mention to Mónica, who took care of us again and provided exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Luckily, there was no wait time when we arrived and our waitress took our order right away. The food did not take long to come out but after I ate the aji de gallina, I had some stomach pains. The flavor of the other plates were good but it can be pricey. The environment is nice and can be loud, if you want classical music with low lighting this place is not for you. Overall, it was ok...food can be overpriced and FYI they do not take American Express for payment.
