Best Peruvian Restaurant in America

This beloved local chain will mark its 30th anniversary next year. Most of its locations are comfortably situated in the ’burbs, but co-founder Jorge Perez opened this D.C. branch with partner Alfredo Izurieta a decade ago. After so many years in the business, their charcoal-chicken game is strong. Smoky, salty, herbal and succulent, the birds almost live up to the name out front. I say almost, because crispiness can be a fleeting thing with pollo a la brasa. Allow a fully cooked chicken to linger under a heat lamp, or sit too long in a holding unit, and its skin is bound to turn flaccid. But if you hit Crisp and Juicy shortly after they’ve pulled birds from the oven, you’re likely to encounter a Peruvian chicken that borders on the ideal.

Celebrating their 30th anniversary next year, this beloved local chain has become a staple in the 'burbs. A decade ago, co-founder Jorge Perez joined forces with Alfredo Izurieta to open the Washington D.C. branch. Customers can expect amazing service as well as delicious, crispy Peruvian-style charcoal chicken every time they visit. It's no wonder why this duo has been successful for so long!

Maryland and Washington D.C are the proud home of the tastiest, highest quality Peruvian chicken around. This savory poultry option is always fresh and arrives hot and juicy with every order.
