S Camarones Entomatadas Platter - the amount of food is plentiful.
Mai S.

Reviewing again! The food was delicious and flavorful. Had the shrimp and rice with onion and peppersp

Shrimp Fajita
Daria R.

After a full morning photoshoot, several friends and I dropped in for a pre-flight lunch. It did not disappoint. Our order consisted of shrimp fajitas, shrimp salad, fried shrimp with plantains, and talapia. All exclaimed their selection was scrumptious. Of course, my fajitas were best. . Grilled and seasoned to perfection. The rice was savory. If you like an extra zing, add the spicy sauce. None of us have to purchase airport food!

Papusa chicharrón con frijoles
Brooke T.

Not sure how I have never been to this place considering I literally live right down the street and love all things Latin cuisine. Located in Fairway shopping center, plenty of parking. Signage says "chicken". I ordered two papusa revueltas and black beans. Papusas are my jam! These days this warms my heart and my belly. The papusa like most places comes with slaw and a sauce. The slaw is yummy but I also prefer mine with a bit more spice so I don't generally use my own sauce. The papusa was delightful but came a part as I was eating it, I'm not used to that. I think it was because they were packed with goodness. The slaw was delish, I really enjoyed it. The beans were aiight, a little under seasoned for my taste, but that can be fixed. I will be returning, because my belly is happy!

My burrito came and was not even folded correctly, seemed to be just loosely smashed together. Also did not follow the directions and gave me sauce and ingredients i didn't request making it soggy

Shrimp quesadilla
Starvel D.

I ordered the shrimp quesadilla. It's juicy and messy but it's delicious. The flavors are really good together. They don't skimp on the cheese. The shrimp are teeny tiny though so I would definitely make them with bigger shrimp. It tastes good I'm not gonna complain. It would be helpful if they cut the quesadilla into smaller pieces. I had 2 small pieces & 1 large piece that I had to cut in half. I definitely didn't finish my meal. Don't forget to order some green sauce on the side. It tastes great on the quesadilla. I also had the yellow fried rice. I crushed the container of teeny tiny rice. It wasn't really fried rice in my opinion. It's good but it was just yellow rice with some seasonings.

Shrimp Fajitas with rice and beans
Megan W.

I ordered food to go and my food was great. The storefront was clean and the staff were friendly. My food was packaged nicely and a lot of it. It was enough for me to have leftovers as well. I ordered the shrimp fajitas with rice and beans. It came with peppers and onions as well. The shrimp size was great and seasoned nicely. I will be going back and recommend to others as well.

I first noticed this style of char-broiled rotisserie chicken some years back, when Crispy & Juicy opened up on Rockville Pike. I liked it well enough, but it is one of those things you've got to be in the mood for. I would go for months before I had a craving but when I do, I wasn't always in Rockville, so I started keeping an eye out for places like this. Crispy & Juicy is Peruvian style, or so I'm told and there are a couple of other places much like it, but with different names. Since they weren't outstanding or noteworthy, i can't recall their names offhand. I first saw signs in the neighborhood, and they looked rather amateurish, but I've learned not to judge a book by its cover, and that definitely applies here. Silvestre Chicken is Salvadoran style, and it not only offers the signature bird, but a nice range of other dishes from fajitas (beef, chicken, shrimp) to sandwiches and tacos using a variety of grilled meats and whole fish dishes. All of the ones I've tried have been very good. Aesthetically, it isn't much to look at- sort of reminds me of the carryout places of my youth on Long Island, but its clean, there are booths and tables, a TV that's usually tuned to a Latin channel (mostly futbol, or soccer as we call it here in the States lol) and there's a cooler with drinks and desserts inside. I've never gotten either of those, but I'm sure they're what you'd expect. Service is always polite, and fast. Very fast. There's barely a wait time if you're just looking for chicken, which can be paired with rice, salad, grilled veggies or steak fries (which are very good). The wait for a steak dish is somewhat longer, but nothing ridiculous. They have a limited option for dipping sauces, and I get the impression those are handmade, as are the tortillas used for the fajitas and tacos. It is a family establishment and I get the impression there's more than one but whatever, it isn't a chain so far as I know. The food is erally good, the service is as well. If you're into this type of cuisine and you're nearby, this is the place. Look no further.

1/2 Chicken w/ 2 sides. For less then $18 you get so much absolutely DELICIOUS food. The chicken is tasty and moist and the sides, wow. Love their green beans and if you ask for black beans & rice, it counts a one side. And it is yummy. Great value! Plenty of food for two people

Great fajitas and chicken. My kids love the fried rice and the ability to order ahead online helps a ton.

First time trying something other than the beef patties and I enjoyed!!! Do they have attitudes?…read moreSome, yes!! But that's what makes the food delicious!!! The brown stew chicken was cooked perfectly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mac & cheese. Usually I avoid mac&cheese at Caribbean restaurants, but this one tasted as good as it looked. I like my cabbage much softer than the way they prepare theirs, but that's my preference. I asked for pepper sauce on the side because that's the only hot sauce they offered. Patties!!! Get the beef patties. Crust is perfect, and so is the filling. Avoid the curry shrimp patty! After a couple bites, I noticed I wasn't tasting any shrimp. So i sliced the patty and opened it up, and there were TWO salad size shrimp in there, with curry sauce spread throughout the rest. I wish I took a picture. Drink: Their pineapple cream soda from the fountain is my absolute fav!!!

"Truth Is !!" When I walked into Dat Jerk I was surprised at its commercial feel ( not your usual…read moreatmosphere for a authentic Caribbean spot ) With that being said, once I actually got down to business and started eating my oxtails, all my reservations went out the window because the food was absolutely delicious!! The oxtail were so tender and tasty and they blended perfectly with my rice & peas. I was a little disappointed they didn't have curry goat on their menu... but for sure, when I'm in the mood for some oxtails Dat Jerk is my go-to !!!! If you're visiting the Woodmore Center make sure to stop by Dat Jerk... you truly won't be disappointed !!
