The interior matches that of a hole in the wall, which in my opinion makes it even better. It just has an authentic feeling which is matched by excellent tasting food. Definitely go for the pupusas (revueltas are my fav) and a 1/4 chicken for an easy and cheap meal. Sopa de Res for a hearty soup when I need that. Everything here is so good.

The restaurant itself is small and stays busy, mostly people taking their orders to go, like me. The young man at the register is always kind (and I think the only one who speaks English). He is constantly translating for the other people there. The decor is a bit packed and cluttered, not much on aesthetics, but honestly, the food makes up for it every time. It is consistently good and reasonably priced.

Both of the dishes were well done. I like the sauce they give you for the chicken. It was a bit of a wait but I think if you set your expectations right- meaning expect 20-30 min wait - be zen and practice patience, you could really enjoy it! Ambiance isn't too much to write home about - not a trendy place by DC standards but it's not bad. It's air conditioned and the bathroom was clean. Parking is right out front and you can probably even see your car eating inside. Someone even came by and asked how our food was and it's not really a sit down restaurant (you order at the front on a giant screen). I'd come back again if in the area!

The employees are patient and professional.I pretty much always order the same thing, mixed fajitas with rice and black beans. The place is clean however the parking lot still sucks but it's better than the old building they had across the street. The food here tastes better than a lot of sit down Mexican restaurants and it's more reasonable. They do have indoor seating if you want to done in. I would recommend calling in your order for faster service, as they do tend to be busy most of the day. I'm not sure if this is a female owned establishment but I only see all women working at this location. They do have an app now - which they didn't before. Remember to order through the app because you can't gain point or rewards using your receipt after a purchase.

Others claim to be superior, but others usually serve a dry chicken. Sardi's is always juicy. Sides are fresh. Staff is friendly. Restaurant is clean. It's the best. I have been eating at a Sardis for at least 20 years... I think longer. I'd go to the location in Gaithersburg. When they used to serve the green sauce in the little plastic cups it was the best. As they grew and added more restaurants they started moving to these flat labeled packs produced offsite. Not as good, but I think they were still initially more "green" and less mayo. Now they taste creamy and less herbal/jalapeño. I'll still eat the chicken. I just miss the good sauce. Did I say Sardi's is the best? They are.

Well this seems to be the latest in this chain to open. I thought it was just Peruvian chicken but…read moreit's pretty much Peruvian everything plus cheese steaks, dry roasts, and vegetables. I'm here at lunchtime and it's filling up which of course is exactly what we want to see. I'm here on the recommendation of someone who has tried these gyros and they know how picky I am about the gyros. Because they're cooked to order , I can tell you that the place is very clean and very organized. The staff is all Hispanic. I don't know what that means, Caribbean chicken, I guess, but since I don't eat Peruvian chicken because it's very very salty, I'm trying the other meals. You can get an assortment of vegetables if that's what you want. I already mentioned there's chicken. You can eat wraps, different sandwiches, and a lot of Latin specialties. one complaint is that since they cook to order and you don't pick up at the table as my gyro, I sat here waiting for someone to call me. I didn't hear my name called out even though they asked for your name. I eventually had to go up to get it. I'm sure it's a little cooler than I would probably like it but we'll see. The final thing is, which I'm beginning to see not just here, A sign begging we want tips and we appreciate it. As for the Sandwich, they use the pre-sliced meat like that you would buy in a kit. . Cut thin and uniform and crisp on the ends. Think of bacon with a identity issue. Bread? it may think its Pita more like pity and last, The dressing was tasty and liberal would have licked it off the bread. Bottom Line, do not come here for the cold gyros , but i'm sure you find other food to like. 2.5 out of 5

This is a new Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken carryout and quaint counter-service diner - with around 6…read moreto 8 tables so far - with delicious seasonings and much on the menu, including seafood, angus burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches and cheesesteak subs. This restaurant is also halal. They just opened a few days ago with a full menu offering including tilapia, grilled salmon, red snapper, grilled shrimp and catfish. The fish entrees can be grilled or fried with your choice of seasonings: lemon pepper, Cajun, garlic, Old Bay or plain. The chicken and the fish are spectacular here. Definitely get the fish tacos! Lovely. Choose your fish and whether you want it grilled or fried. I chose fried tilapia. Choose your toppings: I got lettuce and salsa. Also ask for a bit of coleslaw on top. And then add the yellow sauce. So delicious. I also very much enjoyed the grilled tilapia with Old Bay. It was served healthy and clean vs. liquidy and juicy so I added the yellow pepper sauce for pure divinity. I also might recommend requesting a little drawn butter on top if they can do it and you like that sort of Maryland-style texture. Seriously, very good price points and value. You can also choose your sides with the fish and I enjoyed their delicious coleslaw with fries. I'm picky about cole slaws and this version has a nice slightly garlicky - very mild but just enough to be regionally unique - flavor. And the yellow sauce is so good with the fries, as well as ketchup. I also ordered a side of white rice which is delightful here. They cook it properly so that it is perfect rice-cooker clumpy vs. smooth and falling through your fork. They season it with just the right amount of cilantro and spices so that you could enjoy eating it plain. I always need butter or soy sauce but with their rice, I don't! There menu is ever-evolving but they also offer New York Strip Steak, a lamb chop entree (which they say is popular at their other locations), burritos, bowls, quesadillas, nachos and fajitas. And the menu includes 5 kinds of smoothies and 4 kinds of milkshakes. I had a quarter chicken meal with yucca fries and rice and beans and it was lovely. You'll see the large rotisserie chicken roaster slowly cooking all of the chickens while they cut yours' right in front of you, Peruvian-style. You will also get the mild yellow sauce that I mentioned earlier and green hot sauce which is traditional. That Peruvian Aji Amarillo (yellow) sauce is only 25 cents extra for more and the salsa verde is hot and flavourful. You can choose from your sides: yucca, cole slaw, fried rice, white rice, French fried, plantains, rice and beans, pinto beans or black beans. I also tried the cheesesteak. The 12-foot sub with its fillings is good. The sliced beef is seasoned. The amount of provolone cheese is generous and tasty. I added the spicy green sauce they give you for an alternative take but they do have jalapeños. Didn't ask about red hots. I asked if they could toast the sub roll, next time, and he kindly said yes. The quesadillas are massive and delicious. If you get steak added, ask them to slice it smaller maybe unless you prefer big pieces, which might be harder to chew while eating finger food versus using a steak knife. I love their 2-layer lemon cake! It's very tasty, moist and fresh. Do not miss the tres leches! The tres leches cake here is actually the best one I've ever had because it's more sweet and tasty. I only wished they served coffee with it but since they just opened, they are looking at what will sell best in this area before expanding the menu and beverages. (They do serve coffee at one of their other locations, so let's see if more locals around here ask for it since it's not a typical Peruvian restaurant offering.) I think many people are going to want to start eating here more because their food is that good. It would be nice if they could put more tables outside in front of the restaurant but I haven't seen others do that in this shopping center. On a side note, I'm a decades-long fan of the original Peruvian chicken restaurant in the NoVA area known as El Pollo Rico but there is only one in Wheaton. Years later, there are many other Peruvian Chicken restaurant spin-offs in the region near this location but none have come quite as close to Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Grill in terms of flavor and seasonings. Sure there are some other local restaurants with Peruvian chicken and more seating, but I most enjoy the flavours of the rotisserie chicken at this expanding chain.
