Came to Silvestre's for the first time today. The chicken is seasoned nicely and had decent flavor, but I couldn't help but notice more so than the chicken is that they have a huge menu of offerings such as: seafood plates, grilled platters, veggie plates, sides, burritos, fajitas, salads, and desserts! This intrigued me more than what I originally came here for which was just rotisserie chicken. I ordered a 1/2 half rotisserie chicken special, which comes with two sides. The chicken as mentioned before was seasoned and had good flavor. The dark meat was just how I like it --juicy and tender but the white meat unfortunately was a little on the dry side, to be honest. I noticed whole cooked Yardbirds sitting under a heat lamp --warmer station! I think this may be the cause of why the chicken was slightly dry. I would suggest to management that they find a better way to store and keep their chicken from drying out; like perhaps use warming drawers. Nevertheless.....It definitely warrants a drop on a star for that....because I can't stand dry white meat. As for the sides, I tried the yellow rice and salad as part of the combination. Both of the sides were delicious, with the rice being my favorite. It was flavorful and enough for at least two people. Lol. In all, it was a great visit. Good food, lots of options on their menu to choose from, and more importantly....great customer service! Overall, I would say 3.5 stars....other places like Sardi's, Super Pollo and El Pollo Rico got an upper edge on Silvestre...imho. I will definitely return maybe to try other dishes on the menu, but not in a rush or repeat on the rotisserie chicken anytime soon. read more

Had lunch at Silvestre today decided to get a shrimp quesadilla. It wasn't too busy one guy in front of me and I ordered. Cashier was very prompt and told me 10 minutes for my order was completed. They do have tables for dining in, but it's mostly to go. Very clean inside. Got home and saw that it was loaded with shrimp. It also came with sour cream, red sauce, and green sauce. It was very good except that the pico and small side salad made the bottom of the quesadilla soggy. They need put a piece of foil or paper to separate them or put them in a different container. Food was good and I'll go back in a little while! read more

Very good experience. Their food is SO good. It was ready fast. Such good value and pleasant staff. Highly recommend.

What's understood doesn't need to be explained. These portion sizes alone have me a solid 2 meals. No flavor lacked my steak well wasn't rubbery or hard. And the chicken was tender and juicy. I order this to go so i can't say too much about the ambiance but I wasn't left disappointed read more

Silvestre Chicken - a chicken in a styrofoam container - Peruvian Near Me - Fort Washington, Maryland

The food the food is good if you need something quick. The staff is very friendly. Plenty of parking.

I've eaten here a bunch of times! The food and service never disappoint. I typically get the quarter chicken white with black beans and rice! Extra sauce on the side! If I'm feeling healthy, I'll order a quarter chicken white with double salad! read more

They have a very good snapper dinner . The service a little slow. Food is great, the steak is a little tough. But all in all food is good.

Ordered food online. Went to the Swann Creek location to pick up my order. They said the order is not ready yet, give them 10 minutes. I walked to Safeway to get a few items. I walked back to Sylvestre to pick up my order. The guy said he could not find my order. He said my order was given to another customer. He asked if I wanted refund... What??? No apologies... he said, I have to wait for 20 minutes for my order because he gave it to someone else. I am so mad of the way he treated me. No apologies, didn't offer anything to calm me down. I asked for the manager- he said no manager was on duty. For real???? We are not recommend their service! Food was good but no their service! Bb read more

I made the bad decision of going off to the left and ordering the steak n cheese sub. BIG MISTAKE!!!! It. Was. BAD!!!! It had wilted leaf salad lettuce and about 2 whole bell peppers cut up on it. I asked for NO ONIONS but I guess they decided that I needed them so they put them on any way. I had to individually take them off once I got home and is discovered this. Their chicken is usually good but they need to either DO BETTER with the steak n cheese sub or simply take it off the menu!!! read more

From the beginning.. I was calling into this location for a while trying to get through in order to place an order for pick up. I ended up driving to the location and placing my order IN PERSON. I placed an order for a steak quesadilla. Once I got home I realized that they had given me the wrong order. I called back to inform them that I had the wrong order and I was told that I would not be able to get my correct order without paying for it. This is not how you conduct business. Someone made a mistake on your end and you tell me that I cannot get what I ordered. This is a business that I have spent a lot of money with in the past, but this will definitely be the last time. There should definitely be a better way for you to treat your customers, especially your regulars. There is always something missing or incorrect when I place an order at this location. Go at your own risk. read more

The chicken is good, but if you are watching your sodium this isn't the place. The sides need a little work. I got the plantains, they don't make them sweet. The service was okay, not an abundance of friendliness. Overall, if I can't get to Sardis (which is just as average also) or Pollo Rico and I'm craving Peruvian chicken....I may try it again. read more

Way way way too expensive for what it is! It's a neighborhood joint and that's it! The food is decent, buts certainly not a noteworthy restaurant. Not top quality meat, very inconsistent. I used to frequent but I would only go now if I were in a pinch, ergo starving and everything else is closed, including McDonalds. I used to get the mixed grill and not it's almost $20 like a sit down restaurant. They may just price themselves right outta the neighborhood. read more

We got the Shrimp enchiladas, chicken burrito, and the steak and shrimp fajitas. The food was terrible. I am not a picky eater and usually don't leave reviews. The chicken was dry. You only get 2 small tortillas with the fajitas and 3 shrimp. You must be warned, This food is terrible! read more

We order takeout at least 1x a month, especially when we have guests coming for an easy lunch or dinner. I always get the rotisserie chicken with yucca and salad. It's very well seasoned and yummy. I always end up ordering extra sauces because they are also very good! read more

Food is good, fast, and new management is great with customers. The chicken with rice and black beans is tasty. The red snapper is whole fish deep fried crispy (love it!). Daughter loves the pupusas and steak and cheese. It's good eats here. Highly recommend. I know friends that drive from Charles County for their chicken. That should be a testament read more

I can't believe this place has declined so much within the past couple of months. The service is still quick and courteous (I think a lot more people go there now) and the portions are still large but the quality has declined if you ask me. Maybe it's due to the other store openings? This used to be our 'healthy' option in the shopping center, but with the amount of grease in everything I might as well go to crown fried chicken. Our order of yuca did not contain 1 full piece. We got oil-soaked end pieces that were barely crunchy from steeping in the oil (to give you an idea of how small...like 30 tiny pieces fit in the paper boat); the bag was soaked in oil by the time we got home. The fajita was huge, but the 'salad' was all over the place and the lettuce was drenched in oil/water. Our sub sandwich bread was also soaked. Last time we came, the chicken was super dry (the moistness was the only redeeming factor since it lacks seasoning to begin with). We probably won't return unless desperate. read more

I love the food here omg omg I would definitely recommend going for a birthday or just with family and have a good time

Great Chicken and shrimp fajitas. Their mild and spicy sauces are amazing and I always received enough to have for lunch the next day. I have yet to be disappointed by their service or my take out order. Try it you may just discover your new favorite!!! read more

Silvestre Chicken - Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas. Yum!!! - Peruvian Near Me - Fort Washington, Maryland

Kind of surprised by tonight's burned fajita mixta dinner. Usually the food is good, but tonight's experience was two fajita mixta dinners with burned steak, shrimp and chicken but barely sautéed veggies. Funny how the food was unburnt side up when we opened our containers-all of the burnt sides were not showing.... That seemed intentional. We were really hungry and didn't feel like driving 20 minutes back to the swann creek location to show them the proof (we learned previously that they won't take complaints over the phone--they require you bring it back so they can see it for themselves)so we took some pics. Dry tough chicken and burned steak and dry shrimp. read more

My got to spot for anything Peruvian chicken! The sauces are great and the sides are fantastic. They make it so quick when you order through dash. Plus I love that it's 10 min away from my house read more

Ordered online to pick up on my way to work ... the girl at counter was extremely RUDE kept yelling at customers and when they couldn't find my order they kept telling me it was my fault for ordering in grub hub ! The guy wasn't any better he was on his phone the whole time while customers were waiting out in rain ... not a good experience and they all need a lesson in customer service !! If I could give negative stars I would !! read more

We are nearby and order from here from time to time. Whenever I order from here the food is sometimes hot, sometimes not. The restaurant quality of food is not consistent. The Peruvian and grilled chicken are sometimes dry and the yuccas are hit or miss, sometimes hard and dry, sometimes fresh and hot. Lately, when ordering an entree with sides, the cooks put the hot food over the yuccas to make them hot and not so hard. Can I have fresh yuccas please.. The subs and burritos are always good and hot; my sons like these. The people taking your orders are usually kind and attentive. The restaurant's ambience is nice for carry out or dinning in. We ordered yesterday for dinner and when you pay $75 plus tip for dinner, for carry out, you expect your food to be on point. Overall because of the restaurant's continued inconsistency I have to say average. I'm not sure we'll frequent here in the future. read more

My husband and I love this place as an easy stop on the way home for dinner. We do stick mostly with the rotisserie chicken meals or burrito bowls and have always been happy. The beans and coleslaw are great and the rice is really good, although somewhat inconsistent in size. The price is great, for a whole meal we get 4 meals out of it for about $20. Can't beat that for an actual meal. The customer service is great here too, especially in the recent year. There is a really nice gentleman who takes most of the orders (sorry I don't know his name!) but he's fantastic, always pleasant and accurate. This place is always packed, and honestly if I were judging it based on overall atmosphere I might knock it down a star or two because I find the customers have been pretty bad, but I always get it to go and try and call it in and it makes it a great experience. We did get the sandwiches once and were disappointed, so we stick to the chicken and you can't go wrong. read more

Food is ok. Shrimp and chicken fajitas for $11. Only 4 pieces of shrimp :( chicken portion was decent. Service was a little poor. Will go to Mexican restaurant next time read more

Silvestre Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Fort Washington, Maryland

My husband picked some up today. The rotisserie chicken was good and the pupusas were okay (though they had a doughy texture to them, like they weren't done being cooked). The plantains that accompanied the chicken were hard, dry, and bland. The steak was dry and smelled of fish. We reached out and they were responsive to our complaints and even offered to redo our order or refund our money. We declined the re-fire because we are disappointed that a usually good spot has had a gradual decline of the quality of their product. I recommend you only eat here in a pinch and stick to the chicken. read more

The best food! I love the shrimp tacos with the spicy sauce! And get it with the rice and salad! It's so good! And the staff there is always so nice. read more

Silvestre in Fort Washington Md is our go to for dinner or lunch. In this location they have some of the nicest people taking your order and always speedy service. I never wait a long time. My favorite dish is shrimp and chicken fajitas with yellow rice and salad. Don't sleep on the quesadilla they are good as well. This location also have dessert. The sweet potato cake is moist and delicious. Check them out the next time your in Fort Washington. read more

This place seems to be doing great! I have eaten there a few times as my go to for the "uh oh, I have no food!" days. The chicken is always cooked well and the plantains and coleslaw are good. The others tend to be dry/overdone. The other night we were in about 30 min until closing and it was packed! Thank god there is something good in Fort Washington to eat other than ice cream. read more

Loyal and consistant. Variety of food and only place local to find pupusas! Variety of options from tacos to platters to sandwiches. read more

Apparently they must have been overwhelmed with orders since I receive under cooked chicken. I ordered two chicken dinners. It's 3:25 am. And I been up since 2:55 am on the toilet with the shits because the food was not done. This is what scared me when ordering from Uber Eats. When you have an issue most of the time it's goes unsolved and the Resturant gets a little slap on the wrist while customers get a dent put in their pockets for poor prepared food. Everything is blamed on COVID. So now I have to worry about COVID and the Resturant's trying to kill me. Go figure. read more

The food was horrible because it was rushed. It used to be very good. Evidently, post pandemic has created some change, perhaps a new cook? Whatever it is, this is the 2nd time going and the same end result. Disgusting. read more

Was very disappointed. I ordered a chicken and shrimp quesadilla for pick up. It's hard to check a quesadilla to make sure everything is included because it can get a little messy. But, sure enough, there were no shrimp. I'm usually satisfied with the food here and have never had an issue. Due to having to pay extra for the shrimp I didn't receive and not having the dish that I wanted and paid for I'm rating it 3 stars. On a good night my favorites are the steak (very flavorful and not overcooked), chicken and shrimp salad (take the time to chop up the vegetables), and of course the chicken. The chicken is perfect! Cooked perfectly and tastes delicious. read more

This place seems to be doing great! I have eaten there a few times as my go to for the "uh oh, I have no food!" days. The chicken is always cooked well, but the sides have usually been dry/overdone. The other night we were in about 30 min until closing and it was packed! Not only that, the sides were the best we had yet. Hopefully this is the new standard, if it keeps up will definitely be raised to 4 star! read more

I've been here a few times and usually just get a rotisserie chicken platter which is good, but one day after working out, my boyfriend's son persuaded me to try the rotisserie chicken tacos. They were amazing! I got them with everything (lettuce, pico de gallo, and cheese). You can get them with rice too, but I passed on that. They have 2 sauces -- a hot and mild that they also serve with the chicken dinners -- that I mixed up/added to the tacos. You get 2 tacos for $5 making it a bargain. If you get them to go, I'd ask for a the bigger container. read more

Love this place, but probably won't ever return. I'll keep it simple... 1. The chick behind the counter stuck her whole finger in her mouth as she was bagging someone's order. 2. Paying $1 for 3 of those TINY green hot sauces is as ridiculous as McDonalds when they started charging for ketchup. 3. They arent big on call-ahead orders...or they just didn't want to take MY call...twice. 4. Their COVID social distancing setup is very weird. What makes the WHOLE experience just frustrating is that the 2 people i interacted with to place my order, came across as rude and mean...And made me feel like I was a bothering THEM for ordering from here. I wish i could continue to support this biz, but im good. Imma eat this last meal tho - cuz i waited twenty five (25) minutes...like a dummy. read more

We called ahead to place our order but when we arrived home we were missing an order. We had to share what we did have which was not great. The pupusas were very doughy and barely had any filling and the fried yuca wasn't crispy, we had to stick them in the toaster oven. They also did not provide or offer the dipping sauce. When you order out you expect the food to meet your expectations. While it's nice to have a Spanish restaurant in the community more training should be provided to its chefs. read more
