I've only done takeout from the Nibbler, but it is just a small place in a strip mall next to the Dunkin Donuts and Papa John's. It doesn't have frills or look fancy inside, but that's not what you're here for. You're here for good af Peruvian food and that's what you'll get. My husband and I still prefer the Nibbler over other fancier Peruvian places simply because their food tastes like home cooking, not food that just came out of the kitchen of a restaurant and you can't beat that. It's always consistent, always quick, and the staff are very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have.

This quaint establishment was casual and provided a family-type of atmosphere. The employees were…read morevery kind and the service was very quick. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas and tamale. Flavor was good, but I wish the empanadas were crispier. The tamale was okay, the filling was lacking and it was a little difficult to pinpoint any kind of flavor. My husband's steak was inconsistent in the cook and the French fries lacked salt. The bite of steak I had was delicious and the fries were salty enough for my husband. The ropa vieja was delicious, but again, could use more seasoning. The meat was tender but crispy on the outside and paired with black beans, rice, and plantains, it was a tasty combination both flavor-wise and texture-wise. We would come back to expand our exposure to Peruvian food.

The atmosphere is amazing, I have loved being in this environment enjoying their culture.read more

While I'm not a frequent goer to this establishment the food there is by far some of the best papusas in the area. Their steak in tortilla salad is also very good. Out of all the restaurants in this area (most fast food) it makes you feel the least guilty while being tasty. Reasonably priced and the portions are pretty good. My son personally loves the papusas from here hence why we order frequently and I like their plantains and horchata .

One of my favorite things about going back home is introducing my boyfriend Kyler to the places I…read moregrew up loving, and La Casita was at the very top of my list. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is lively, and you always know you're going to leave happy. I'm originally from Honduras, and one of our staple dishes... arguably THE staple dish... is the baleada. A fresh flour tortilla filled with refried beans, cheese, and crema, with the option to add extras like eggs, avocado, or different meats. I knew this had to be where Kyler experienced his very first baleada. To say it was a success would be an understatement. Kyler isn't the most adventurous eater, so getting his stamp of approval is a pretty big deal. He's officially a fan for life! We were there with my mom, and all three of us ordered some variation of a baleada along with pupusas to share. I also had to introduce Kyler to our version of horchata, which is different from the Mexican horchata he was used to. As an added bonus, we happened to visit during the World Cup, and the energy in the restaurant made the experience even more fun. Between the familiar flavors, sharing a piece of my culture with someone I love, and the consistently great food, this meal ended up being one of the highlights of our trip back to Maryland. If you've never had a baleada before, let La Casita be your introduction. You won't regret it.

A lot of people came by for take-out, while I was taking my time pigging out on the taco dorados and baleadas (they were soooo good that yes, I ate them ALL in a sitting). Would come here again as Aura was awesome! Hence why 4/5 stars because the inside may turn people off but go fo the food and the service.

They weren't NOT seasoned, but could definitely have used more. The side beans were meh. The 3 tortillas I had were not nearly enough. And the guac plate was also mid.
