    Salmon Saltado
    Anna J.

    It was so good I came back two days in a row! You have to try the burger special. I believe it's only available for lunch. The salmon saltado classico hit the spot. The service is great. The owner is friendly and puts so much care into the preparation of the food. Everything is seasoned and comes out hot.

    Side of mixed Veggies

    Picked up lunch from here today. Walking in the restaurant was neat and clean. Customer service was great I actually ended up having to order over the phone because the online ordering system was not working however when I ordered online that the young lady who answered was very friendly very patient got the order correct. When I got to the restaurant she read the order back to me it took about 10 minutes maybe to get it together so I would say the whole order took 20 minutes to get together because I had to leave my building and go down and pick it up so it was just a few minutes of wait time. Everything was made correctly everything was hot and fresh. The owner was there standing off to the side just observing she was really nice very friendly but definitely return again for lunch every time we've eaten here never had a problem definitely try it out if you like Peruvian chicken.

    Carne asada!

    Great food and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend! My daughter had the salad with shrimp and ate the entire plate which could have easily feed three people. She had roughly 10 or more shrimp on two skewers and the tres leches cake was perfect.

    Wow this place hit the spot, I ordered the steak and chicken with a side of coleslaw. It really hit the spot I am from out town and was hesitant to come here. it's now my favorite when I come back to area

    Came here on Thursday afternoon. Looks small, but it's pretty nice inside even though it is small. Still, the food was good. The ambience was very chill and relaxed. I'd come back the picture. Does the food justice!!

    Dining area

    Wow, what a fantastic surprise! We we're hungry and looking for a place and this was close by. It's a modest place with a walk up order counter and a basic dining area. But the food! It was as good as any high end restaurant, served on beautiful plates. We had the steak, chicken and shrimp mixed grill and the Cesar salad with salmon. Both were fantastic! The salmon had great flavor and was perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh and the Cesar dressing was great. But even better, was the sauces that they put with it. One spicy, one tart, both excellent. The mixed grill was well seasoned and also cooked perfectly. And on top of that, the black beans were so delicious. I love it when I'm surprised by good food and this place blew me away. Super friendly staff too. Great

    Visited this place on my way home! There is a huge parking lot, easy to get parked. Service was a little rude and lacked of information, since it was my first time here, I needed to ask some questions about the menu (normal), when I did the lady looked a little annoyed, music was loud (maybe is their style, is ok) and the table I got sitter was loose, hard to keep it stable. The food: Food was 6/10 (maybe because the service?) people used to say, if the service is bad, it would be translated to the food, service with attitude equal to a bad experience and some how the food would be tasteless. I had a whole chicken with sides, fried rice and fried plantains. (The fried rice was pretty much plain and plantains were hard.) The experience: before I go in, I checked in here on Yelp, and Yelp offered me a bottle of water from this restaurant (Elite Yelpers know what it is), so, I walked to the counter and asked for the menu the lady at the counter look at me and said, "is behind you" I looked back and I saw a huge menu on the wall, (there were more people behind me, so, I have to pick quickly) so I picked the whole chicken on the menu with two sides plus a drink, like a combo, I was clear with the chicken and the drink, but not with the sides, so, I asked where the sides are? She replied "here, you not see them?" Honestly I hadn't seen them until she pointed, ok, cool. Then I showed her my Yelp offer (a bottle of water) and she said "nop, that not apply here, is just for to go orders." Ok, forget it about it, I would like to eat here, I replied, then she handle everything to go, and no, the bottle of water wasn't there. (Can't blame them, for me is just a bad training) I didn't need the bottle of water at all, but the way they handled is what I don't take it. How to order: You go in and order at the counter, there's no servers service, after you finish your food, you clean your table (common cleaning) and go. If I recommend it? Absolutely, I would definitely order again from here, but most to go and different items from the menu, then you just go in, pick up your food and leave you don't have to interact much with the staff. I don't think one experience is enough to quit or discard a place, plus the food is pretty much affordable.

    Horrible food and customer service!

    Horrible food and customer service! Rice and beans are literally tasteless..plantains thick and undercooked...fries no seasoning...fried rice mushy!!! Tried to charge me extra for white and green sauce even though two of each are supposed to come with the meal! Never eating here again!

    The food was really good I had 1/4 dark meat it was a little too salty and the yuca fries were sometimes dry but still good. Also the lady behind the counter was really patient and kind when my grandma was trying to order something to go. She took time trying to communicate with her and stuff The eating area was clean as well and just overall good vibes lolz. Yayyyyy

    Linguine a la Huancaína with Shrimp Saltado
    Aisha F.

    Maryland finna lock down again, and I'm not surprised nor mad. With takeout options like this, who needs dine-in? Pollo Cabana has the typical delicious Peruvian rotisserie chicken concepts, but this time I opted to try something a little different. The Italian fused menu is a MUST TRY. The Linguine a la Huancaína with Shrimp Saltado was delicious. The yellow sauce (huancaína) isn't like anything I've ever tasted before-- it's creamy and spicy and freaking delicious. The brown sauce the shrimp was in had a hint of sweetness to it. Them two flavors together.... chile listen.

    Would give it more stars but to pay $3 for a small 16oz tea is insane. Sorry this is every bit of $2 everywhere else.

    The chicken was perfectly cooked with excellent seasoning on the skin. They also provide two dipping sauces including one that's hot!

    Long wait time. I waited 20 minutes for an order of fries. Just for them to forget to put fries in the bag. I will never return

    Seen the place a ton of times and decided to stop by on a whim. It's in Beltway Plaza next to the…read morepho spot. You can access it either from inside the mall or from the parking lot outside. They offer Peruvian staples and much more. You've got the charbroiled chicken, but there's also some saltados, tacos, burritos, wings, gyros, and more. Now, usually I'd get a Peruvian staple, assuming that's what they're known for. But I had a taste for some other random things. I decided to get their lamb gyro and 24 karat wings. It was around lunch time so it wasn't empty in there, but it wasn't crowded. It was obvious some of the folks were regulars... everyone was nice. My order was taken and I got it within 10 minutes or so. When I got home the first thing I had was the gyro, which wasn't bad! The lamb was flavored a bit differently than I'm used to, but the texture and everything else was good. With the name, I was expecting the wings to be... golden, and they weren't at all. The flavor was good, but I was definitely expecting a different aesthetic. Wings are made well. I'd go back to try the Peruvian staples, hope they are good!

    I always pass by this place, when I'm in the area, but never go in. I decided to change that. So, I…read moreordered my favorite: wings. The wait wasn't long, the staff was nice, and the place had vibrant, inviting colors that represented their culture. Lastly, the wings were steaming hot & good. I ordered the red velvet cake for dessert. That hit the spot too! Want more authentic opinions? Check out my video reviews and more on my various platforms: CocoasJoy
