Ordered the chicha morada too, which was a great choice. To start with the choros, they were made very well. It had the right about of onions with lime, and it tasted fresh and delicious. The ceviche is the dish i would not order again. It was a little disappointing to go into a peruvian restaurant with a name that implies you would headline yiur ceviche. The sauce they used did not pair well - it was a little heavy and tasteless for us. The sweet potatoes were also slightly undercooked so they did not have the consistency that is expected when eating ceviche. The seco de res delivered where the ceviche didn't. It was delicious and tasted home cooked. I would definitely recommend this dish to someone visiting for the first time. When we decided to order kam lu wantan to go (to eat later at home), we were forewarned that it wouldn't come with arroz chaufa. This seemed odd as that's a key part of the dish and not that hard to make. We still ordered it and found it tasty back home. Not sure if it was because it sat in our fridge until later, but the wontons were soggy and not crispy at all. But the taste was there and surprised us how good it was despite pairing it with white rice. Overall the vibe was enjoyable with the server being very attentive and nice with us - she brought our food quickly and constantly greeted us with a smile. Will definitely be coming back!

This is one of the first Peruvian restaurants in that part VA. From our group the rib eye was the…read moretop favorite for flavor and tenderness. The beef heart had mixed reviews, ceviche mahi was flavorful and the curried chicken was fairly bland and probably the least flavorful item on the menu. The picarones are like fried donut shaped beignets; don't expect fluffy or airy but they are tasty with a mildly sweet syrup. The fried potatoes had zero seasoning. I'd probably give it more of a 3.5 but for authentic Peruvian plates I'll give appreciation points. We had a nice, patient waiter who give specific descriptions about each of the menu items.

I got the quarter chicken (white meat) with fried rice and pinto beans. While the chicken could have had crispier skin and been a little juicier, it was still a very tasty and satisfying meal. When I return, I'll try the cilantro rice and get a side of ceviche. Service was quick and friendly. Tables were clean. All in all, it's on par with the majority of Peruvian chicken joints I've been to, but I don't mean that as a dig. I'm planning on retiring sooner than later!

Let me start by saying, I really love this resturant! This is my second time going there, as I went…read morethere last week with friends, and wanted to go again as their menu was extensive! I wanted to wait and give a review after the first time as I hoped it wasn't one of those, ("the first time it was great! The second time...not so much.), let me reassure you that was not the case with Autentico! On my first visit, I had a seafood selection, and it was so fresh and so good! I was also checking out my buddy's chunks of beef that were part of his meal, and wanted that too! He gave me a chunk and it was so tender, juicy and good, I knew on my next visit, I would have to order some form of their steak! The service was spot on, and food order time to table, was exceptional! My next visit came yesterday, and yes I ordered a steak! It was a late Friday afternoon, and even though they were busy with a few large tables of people, service was still outstanding and the food was even better than the first time! If you have read some of my reviews, by the time I think to take pictures, there's not much left to take a picture of! Also, I know some people just take pictures and not much else, and while something can look really good in a photo, you have to dig into it to unearth what's really good about the dish, and everything I have tried at Autentico, was superb! I ordered the NY Strip with fries and instead of the rice that comes with it, I asked if I could substitute veggies for the rice? They said no problem! While the first time I had a couple bottles of their Corona, which was very cold and was also provided with a frosted glass, this time I asked for a Modelo Especial. I was told they had it on tap! Major points, as I love all of Modelo's products especially the stouts! It was just my buddy from work this time and me, and we had such a great meal and the ambiance was awesome! I had joked my first time visiting there while driving in, that there was an Irish resturant right next to it! I mentioned that we should go there after for a couple pints. We never got around to it, as we were too full both times to make it in. But that resturant is in the back of my mind for a future visit! So if you do go to Autentico, you won't be disappointed. It's a great location that's worth the drive, and an exceptional resturant!

I decided to give Super Chicken a try when in need of a quick lunch close to home. I opted for the half chicken combo with a side of black beans and plantains. My food was ready well under the quoted 25-30 minute pickup time. I found the food here so-so. The white meat ran a little dry. The chicken itself had a nicely seasoned skin, but the meat underneath tasted muted without any spice notes. Charcoal cooked birds usually have a hint of flavor from the coals, but the rendition here lacked any discernible smoke. The sides tasted as expected. The black beans were bland, but at least were creamy and well cooked. I have no issues with the well fried and perfectly sweet plantains. The sauces here are on par with area competitors, though the staff here are unusually stingy with extra container requests. Overall, while my meal was fine there was nothing "super" about Super Chicken compelling enough to merit a return visit besides proximity. Superior charcoal chicken is easily available elsewhere nearby.
