Loved the whole Tilapia fried fish! I will return based on this alone! I got white rice and plantains for the side dishes. The rice was pretty good, but the green sauce they provide on the side (and I added a bit to the rice) really elevated the flavor and experience. That sauce was much better than the creamy sauce they also provided. The plaintains were on the sweeter side, and they were good but I've definitely had better. The service was solid if not uninspired (they checked the boxes for the basics but nothing more). I was told it would take 10 minutes but it was more like 20-25. Next time I'll call ahead. Otherwise, this is a good place with very good food worth visiting. read more

I came here based on a recommendation. Sadly I was not impressed with the food and most likely won't ever return. I ordered a quarter chicken with a side of fries and fried rice. The chicken was bland, dry and even with the sauce, it didn't really help much. The rice didn't taste fresh and the fries were fries! I didn't finish the food : ( The service was great. The employees were very nice people, but it wasn't for me! read more

The pollo & lomo saltado are the best dishes at this establishment. I've tried other things on their menu like the chicken soup, burrito, and quarter chicken, but they're pretty unmemorable. However the pollo & lomo saltado make this restaurant 100% worth visiting (I prefer the chicken). The restaurant is fast casual, so the decor is unremarkable and customer service interactions are quick. read more

Completed the eastward zip code series ending in Arnold, MD & now continuing turning westward from my home with one zip code away in Laurel 20707. Not surprisingly, west will go the most away as I live pretty far east in Russett, Anne Arundel County, and used to live in Montgomery County so a lot I know to the west of where I live in general. This is my favorite Peruvian chicken place in the area. Been here multiple times through the years. My mom enjoyed when she visited town as have others I've taken here. They have my favorite veggie as a side, Mac n' cheese!...haha...I know it's not a veggie, but it is delicious. The 2nd side I get varies sometimes side salad, Yuca fries, beans, etc. The chicken is outstanding. Service is always friendly. read more

I ordered the quarter chicken, veggies and Mac . It was over $16 for lunch. Food wasn't good. I've had better. Chicken was dry to me and had no flavor, normally the rotisserie cooked chicken is just juicer but this wasn't. The Mac was okay just different. I wouldn't come back. For the money I didn't finish my meal and threw it away. read more

Tuesday 7/16/2024 Made a pickup order and got a whole chicken with plantains and French fries $27 and a large side order of fried rice $5. The service was quick and easy and they also gave me an additional 1/4 (quarter) chicken which is very much appreciated. The chicken was good and the sauces were decent as well. The French fries were average and DRY but definitely benefited from having ketchup with them. The plantains were decent but would've been much better if they had a softer texture. The fried rice was alright. Overall, this was a solid Peruvian experience. In my opinion, It's not better than Sardis but it's a place I would recommend and be open to returning to in the future. read more

The service was really nice. The guy serving was friendly and seemed happy to work there. He described their meat quality was higher than others as they pay higher for it. The gave an abundant amount but not to the point of it was too much. It didn't feel stingy like other places. Props to Peru for making great dishes but this place nailed their authentic taste. read more

TIP: Craving Peruvian food with generous tasty portions, order carry out or dine in. ORDER: * Half Chicken * Half chicken rotisserie style cooked to perfection. You have side options from rice, coleslaw, beans, veggies and more. We went with rice and coleslaw. The chicken was delicious and the rice was fresh. The coleslaw was flavorful. * Lomo Saltado * Beef pieces, tomatoes, onions, and peppers smothered in sauce accompanied with fries and rice. This is my one of my favorites when it comes to Peruvian food. The beef was tender, the tomatoes were so good and no mushy. Each bite dipped in the sauce was chef's kiss. SERVICE: The customer service was good. They were patient with us while we reviewed the menu full of a plethora of food options. Burritos, bisteak, chicken, ceviche, to name a few. SUMMARY: Peruvian is one of my favorites ao when I come across a Peruvian restaurant, I always make it a point to try it. The food here is delicious, the restaurant is spacious and the bathrooms are clean. Don't miss your chance on enjoying some wholesome Peruvian dishes read more

Palacio De Peru - Half Chicken with Rice and Coleslaw - Peruvian Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

It was my first time here. They seemed unfriendly and wasn't very welcoming. Even though the food was decent I won't return as personally I'm big on customer service and I didn't get that here. I will keep this professional and not say much more. Overall experience was a hard no for me customer service wise. I also asked for my receipt at the end and the cashier hesitated then pulled a random receipt out of an envelop that had the same thing I ordered on it and gave it to me. lol smh read more

Pretty good chicken! I stopped here on a whim because I super hungry, and it was at the entrance of a shopping center. There were a few people in line, but they had it pretty spaced out- respecting Covid rules The chicken and sides are on display , so it was a fast order. On the other hand, the chicken taco bowl was made fresh, and took a little longer to prepare. Both were really good and I enjoyed. I gave less a star because some of the side orders looked a little dry sitting under the light, which was not a good sight. However, the plantains and fries were really good! I know where I can stop for a quick bite when I am in the area. read more

This place serves some delicious food!!!! What's interesting, is that there is a "Pollo Comparo" located not too far which had a line out of the door. I laughed to myself as I ordered my food thinking, those folks over at Pollo Comparo are wasting their time waiting in line. lol. read more

I finally made my way in here and I have to say that I don't have to go to Sardi's really anymore. The chicken was most and just cooked and seasoned well. The plantains were so soft and creamy and my favorite part of the meal. The yucca was also cooked perfectly, as I know it can sometimes be dry (these were not at all). I also got the macaroni and cheese which looks really good, but was only okay. I probably wouldn't order it again because I think they put oregano in it........ Like why? Whatever not my style, but they had the right idea based on the way it's cooked. They were quick and ready to serve. Clean restaurant! Great portion sizes! 2 things I didn't like. Getting plantains as a side was an extra $.50.... Annoying. You only get 2 of the tiniest sauces. I love how Sardi's sauces are bigger. They need to get on that same tip. read more

Palacio De Peru - 1/4 chicken, yucca, plantains - Peruvian Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Great food, good prices and service! And, one of the few Peruvian restaurants that have soups, delicious!

I'd say a solid place for some Peruvian chicken. Not amazing, but not bad. Of course my comparison is my fav, Sardi's. Sardi's chicken has more flavor in general, but this place's wasn't bad. It's not bland, but not the most flavorful. Hubby days skin is crispier. I didn't notice but maybe he ate all the skin. White meat was a little drier but it was kind of empty when we went, and it looked like there was chicken sitting there for who knows how long do turnover might not be as great. Fried rice was alright. Plantains were pretty good (hubby days better than Sardi's) however, the most annoying thing is that nowhere in the store is it noted that plantains are 50 cents extra. They don't even tell you when you order, only when you pay they charge you. Sardi's has better fried rice (with beands on top) and more sides. Lomo saltado was decent with pretty good flavor (hubby days sauce is better than Sardi's). Overall, I'd still prefer Sardi's in terms of flavor and moistness of chicken. They also have some more options like anticuchos. But it's not a bad place if you're in the area and don't want to drive all the way to college park or Glen Burnie for sardi's read more

For starters, I was starving and this place had a chicken aroma that beckoned my growling stomach in from the shopping center outside. When we walked in, we were greeted upon entry. It took a few minutes to decipher the menu and break down what I could and could not have. As a health nut, if I'm going to eat out, I prefer fresh ingredients. Palacio de Peru hit the mark. I settled on a chicken taco salad. While waiting for my food, they were wiping down and straightening up continuously. The place was clean and smelled like fresh food. I watched the woman fry my taco shell. Although I did not see her change the grease, it smelled like it was, as they flash fried it. We waited for a few minutes as they made our food. I didn't mind as it appears Covid social distancing measures were in full effect. Everyone handling food was wearing gloves. I can not stress enough how clean and safe this place was. They show you your food like all good carry outs often do and mine was so beautiful. I quickly collected my prize food and headed to my car to sanitize and devour it. All of the ingredients were crunchy and fresh. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful that I couldn't stop eating despite my stomach telling me how full it was. I just could not stop eating. I will be going back and next time I plan on trying the chick peas. It was delicious!!! read more

We came here based on the online reviews. I loved my 1/4 chicken with fried rice and Cole slaw but my husband said he's had better pollo saltado. I give the rice pudding all the stars. It was amazing but if you don't like coconut, don't get it. I do. I love coconut and it was delicious. Everyone was really nice and super friendly but it also wasn't busy at all. Another Peruvian chicken place closed down in Crofton, MD and I just don't think people appreciate this food enough. read more

This a great spot in Laurel! Came here after husband raved about it. The people behind the counter remembered him and we're very nice! The chicken was excellent, paying for white meat was completely worth it but I'm sure the dark meat is just as good. The yuka is some of the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese is savory, cheesy and perfect. I can't wait to try the full menu! read more

I've been craving Peruvian food for a while now and finally got a chance to try Palacio de Peru out. We ordered our go to Peruvian dishes, lomo saltado and aji de gallina. Both were tasty and the portions were pretty large. The only downfall was the sauce. Neither the green sauce or yellow sauce had a distinct taste. Green sauce was not spicy at all which was so disappointing. This restaurant didn't our best our favorite Peruvian spot in gaithersburg but it was pretty satisfying for a kinda local spot. read more

3.5 stars for now. Reserve the right to change to 4 stars if food is good over time. I agree with many of the other reviews. Staff was friendly. I ate the quarter dark with fries and yucca. I thought the yucca was well cooked. Hard outside, soft inside and it doesn't taste like it has absorbed oil. The fries were average. I thought the chicken was pretty good. I still prefer Don Pollo in MoCo, but this was pretty good and the skin was not super oily. I agree about the sauce quantity. It is small and mine were like half full. But the green sauce had nice lime notes. Worth a visit. read more

Incredible Peruvian staples served right. For those who haven't tried it, I got the lomo saltado and the half chicken. Just delicious.

I been here twice so far. So far The chicken is better than Sardis and Chicken Loco. Sardis has gone too commercial and Chicken Loco in Laurel did not impress. Friendly customer service. Here They have a bigger selection of side items. Will be back to try a different dish read more

I just discovered that this place existed last night, and I made it my mission to eat there today. I am so so so happy I found it! I've been trying to find a good Peruvian chicken spot closer to my house, since my all-time favorite is about a 30 min drive away, and I think I've found "The One"! I ordered a half chicken meal with plantains and black beans. The seasoning is PERFECT. The plantains were beautiful. I accidentally finished the whole meal for dinner instead of saving some for leftovers :/ The best part is they have a rewards card-- Buy 4 chicken meals and get the 5th free! A+ food and very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

Delicious half chicken and rice. Though they delivered my order with two sides wrong and put an extra one so. Didn't order rice but it was good haha read more

I was on my way to Sardi's, my preferred braseria, when I noticed Palacio in one of the malls on the way. I figured why not try something new. I can't comment on the inside, because it was during coronavirus, so there was no seating. They had a sign that said "free chicken." "Woww, this place is all about the good first impression," I thought. Not quite. The deal was you get a free quarter chicken ($6), if you buy a whole one ($20). Not terrible, but I don't need a whole chicken, so I passed. I ordered a half chicken, regular (all white meat is extra) with two sides. I had rice at home, so I got black beans and plantain. The chicken tasted kind of like my moms baked chicken, which could be good or bad depending how you look at it. It lacked the juiciness and depth of flavor I'm used to from rotisserie, but the skin was crunchy which, while not usually my rotisserie experience, I did like. The black beans were disappointing. They tasted like they were fresh out of the can and cooked too long. Also I feel like they skimped on my portion, but whatever. The plantain was one of the better parts, cooked to near-perfection. They didn't tell me you have to pay $0.50 extra for plantain, not a dealbreaker, but it would have been nice to know up front. The total meal cost me the same as it would have at Sardis, so my expectation to spend less was sadly not met. In all, Palacio didn't disappoint, but it certainly didn't impress. If you're nearby, it'll do for a quick in to eat, but if you're on your way to Sardis, keep going. Food: 6/10 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Overall: 17/25 read more

Palacio De Peru - Half chicken, plantain, black beans - Peruvian Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

The food is okay. They charge extra for almost everything! The service wasn't even great. I had called the 30 minute ahead. When I got there to pick up my food they still didn't have it done. I had to wait 30 minutes. 1 hour to make 2 sandwiches is ridiculous to me. I asked for a Chicken Sandwich NOT a chicken SUB. She had told me I should had said chicken BREAST sandwich. How is a Sandwich the same as a Sub ?? Last time I order this they didn't have a problem. read more

Out of all the Peruvian restaurants I've been to, this one is lack-luster at best. I was really hyped about coming because of all the reviews left on yelp giving it 4-5 stars, plus now that Sardi's is more commercial they just weren't doing it for me anymore. The overall experience was a bit of a let down. The customer service was great, but the ratings here aren't based on service alone, it's on the food. The 1/2 chicken was mildly seasoned. Usually these are bursting with flavor but not this one unfortunately. The fried rice was pretty bland, as if they didn't add any salt to it. Nothing really special about it. It's pretty crummy that they only offer 2 complimentary sauces to go with your meal and each additional is 50 cents...like you really think 2 tiny sauce containers are going to be enough for this enormous plate?? Got the rice pudding after my meal, it was okay. Semi sweet, I'd prefer more sugar/sweetener added in but that may just be how I personally enjoy my desserts. Don't know if I'll be back as there are other Peruvian spots in the area that offer about the same (if not slightly better) flavors to their dishes. read more

DO NOT GO DURING CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK...POOR FOOD SAFETY PRACTICES, NO GLOVES AND HANDS INSIDE FOOD CONTAINERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING CELLPHONE DOWN! I literally just went in there for yuca fries. The young lady at the front desk had her cellphone in her hands. She put it down, opened a food container with her bare hands, putting her hands in the inside of the food container, closed it an tried to give it to me. I said, you dont wear gloves when you prepare food? She showed me hand sanitizer. She did NOT use hand sanitizer before preparing my food! But even if she had, I would not accept anyone putting their bare hands on the inside of my food container. I tried to explain to her that she had contaminated the food container itself and thereby the food. I further told her that cellphones are filthy and im sure she's touched the counter and other things which may be contaminated and she went straight to put her hands inside a food container. I encouraged them to change the behaivior instead being defensive, because its poor food handling practices. They were dismissive. Take the risks you want to take with your health. I wouldnt eat here even if it weren't in yhe midst of a corona virus outbreak! read more
