Opted for the "family style" set up which consisted of a while chicken + 2 large sides. I opted for the Parmesan-garlic french fries and beans/rice combo. The fries were niiiice and crispy; full of crunchy-garlicky flavor. Surprisingly the rice was good to, with its mixture with the beans. The rice was more like a type of sticky rice, I liked. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful, you can really taste the wood fire-taste, this came with two different dipping aioli sauces. While neither of them were spicy, I preferred the orange sauce because it had a thicker consistency. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, they are not serving their famous steak...I will definitely try this food truck again for that. Happy Friday!

I recently tried Azu Peruvian Cuisine in Rockville and overall had a solid experience. I ordered…read morethe lomo saltado, the copa, and the chupe de langostinos. The lomo saltado was well executed. The beef was tender, the fries were crispy, and the classic mix of soy sauce, onions, and tomatoes gave it that authentic Peruvian flavor. The portion size was generous and satisfying. The chupe de langostinos stood out. It was rich, creamy, and packed with shrimp, which is important because many places skimp on seafood in this dish. It had a deep, comforting flavor and felt very traditional. The place itself is small and casual but welcoming, and the service was friendly. Overall, it's a good spot in Rockville if you're looking for authentic Peruvian flavors. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Good size place with a small area as you as you walk-in and a larger space for at least 6 tables+…read moreand a bar area with 4 stools. Nice set-up but they are still awaiting their liquor license (as of Jan. 2026), so they only serve non-alcoholic juices, sodas and water (for now) and hot teas on the weekends. The servers are very sweet and really know the food and menu. However, I did observe they are either a bit inexperienced, or the place is still getting things in order-- as they carry the food out without trays. I observed one server carrying a soup very close to the rim with bare hands. Now, for the food. An excellent array of varied dishes from different regions of Peruvian cuisine. My husband and I have tried our fair share of Peruvian food both in Peru and across various U.S. states. It's our go-to-food. The food here had its highs and lows. The Good & The Bad: Grilled octopus was delicious with a generous portion of everything served on sizzling skillet. Chorros à la chalaca (fresh mussels) served with pico. Both had a lovely presentation and savory flavors. Lomo saltado (sautéed beef tenderloin pieces) with fettuccine à la Huancaina served over a bed of fettuccine in a spicy cheese sauce (IYKYK). The Huancaina sauce was on point as was the sauce for the lomo--The (lomo) beef however was not. Beef was overcooked and tough to chew. And being a Peruvian spot the Classic Ceviche was a work of art but the flavor and the spice-level was lacking. Finally, I asked for a side of sauce and was charged for 2 oz. of sauce. They also tacked on a service charge fee for a table of two. Overall, the ambiance was nice and friendly but the food coming out of the kitchen did not warrant a $130 bill. Honestly, the prices are comparable for this kind of food. But I would expect better product and less hidden fees. I hope this small business will keep improving I'd love to give it another chance once they work out the kinks-- but judge for yourself!

Even the papas cheese had some nasty flavor like it was from a Cheese Wiz jar. Blech! The Arroz chaufa had not one single piece of chicken in there & the egg was fake egg in teensy squares you could barely see. Tasted like tofu. How can rice taste so wrong. I hope I don't get fried rice sickness! The tamale had a big chunk of very dry chicken breast in it and nothing else. The flavor of it was off. I took one bite & threw it away. I love Peruvian food & our friend from Peru has cooked all these dishes for us for many years but she went back to Peru. Do not eat here.

I've always rode past it because the parking lot seems a little chaotic but today I decided to try it out. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the hostess. She was super friendly and made the establishment very inviting. I told her my name and my order was immediately ready (thank God for on line ordering). I ordered the half chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. The chicken was very delicious. Super tender practically falling off the bone. The green beans were super tasty with onion and garlic that they add. The mash potatoes were very flavorful with the gravy. Sardi's did not disappoint. I will return really soon. I suggest if you are in the area to check them out. They have multiple locations. I just wish I would've tried them out sooner. Cheers!

Have come here many times over a number of years and just noticed that I never did a review!…read more The chicken here is nicely seasoned and the veggies are always well prepared. The portion sizes for the veggies and other sides are enormous and the other sides I've had (salad, mashed potatoes, beans/rice, slaw) have been good. You can expect a good and filling meal here. Note: there are so many chicken places like this in the area and many of them serve up a very similar menu with good and plentiful sides. I can't say there's anything that stands out here that gets me to come here as opposed to one of the competitors. They do have non-chicken entrees here that I confess I haven't tried. But the chicken and sides here are consistently good.

Ordered the Empanada tasting which is one steak, chicken and sausage. A few minutes later the u inspired server brings 2 of the same flavor when there should have been 3 different flavors. The manager corrected the issue and we started tasting and sampling and quickly realized that there wasn't much flavor to any of them and the sauce tasted like it had sat open in the refrigerator for weeks. One bite of each was enough to stop eating them! Then along came dinner..... Lomo Saltado and it was more disappointing than the appetizers! The steak chunks were not seasoned, the dish was very dry and the fries and vegetables were not seasoned. This meal doesn't even rate 1 star and they should be ashamed of their service and products!! Overall my review says don't eat at Mayta's!! It was a complete waste of money and time!! Horrible service and food!!

The food, they have a great lunch option and we took advantage of that, an app, main dish, and drink for $18 Their empanadas were 5/5, great filling and flavor, nice crunch/flakey dough and I would 100% recommend. The meats, now y'all know, if you have been reading any of my reviews that I like my steak/meats a particular sort of way. just to preference! I got their Lomo saltado and the steak was TOUGH, not uneatable tough, but tough enough to not really enjoy my meal. But besides the meat being tough, I couldn't really taste the aji amarillo flavor and didn't have much flavor in general, just a little salty. The fries were great crispy on the bottom and were prepared well. For a dish that's almost $30, they should use a better cut of meat. overall, not a great experience 2/5. My wife got their steak skewers and similarly, the meat was too tough, and didn't' have too much flavor. also very mid. Overall, the place was cute but just lacking in terms of their food. I would maybe go back to try more things (but really to eat their empanadas) but with almost spending $70 for pretty terrible main course meals was unfortunate.
