If you're craving real-deal Peruvian food, this spot is where it's at. Nobody here speaks English, but honestly, that just adds to the authenticity. Even if your Spanish is rusty (or nonexistent), the staff is friendly, and the food more than makes up for any language barriers.The ceviche is out of this world--fresh, zesty, and with just enough kick to keep it interesting. But don't stop there. They've got all kinds of traditional Peruvian dishes, from crispy, golden fried options to comforting cooked plates like lomo saltado. And the Chinese-inspired dishes? Their arroz chaufa is downright addictive.They also know how to do drinks right. The maracuyá juice is so good it'll make you rethink every other fruit juice, and their pisco sours are perfectly balanced--smooth, tangy, and just strong enough to keep you smiling.This isn't some polished, fancy spot; it's a real Peruvian joint that's all about the flavors. Five stars for the food, the authenticity, and for bringing a taste of Peru to Maryland. Trust me, it's worth every bite.it's a bit loud in there because they usually have pirated hispanic/south american television going on in there but that doesn't detract at all. I prefer eating only the ceviche but have tried most things

3.5 starsIt's pretty small in here. We tried to get a reservation for 12 people around 3pm on a Saturday but they don't take reservations before dinner because it's so busy. They ended up seating us at two different tables, 8 of us squished in the back near the bathroom, 4 at a table relatively farther away. We had a newborn with us and they wouldn't let us bring the stroller in, and we were trying to tell them that our baby can't sit in a high chair yet. They helped store it at the back, we are lucky the seat from our stroller detaches... But we had to prop it on a chair. Ordering took awhile and food was somewhat quick but my mom's Pescado a lo Macho took forever... Everyone got their food and it had to have been 10 minutes later that she finally got hers. My spouse got the ceviche-causa boat on the house for his birthday. Their ceviche is actually really good, lots of fish. The causa was really good too and I normally think causa is too dry and has too much potato. My aji de gallina wasn't great though. The rice was on the hard side, and the sauce was fine but it didn't feel like the chicken was tender and cooked with the sauce like I normally like. I don't actually know how to cook this dish, but everytime I've had it though, the chicken is so tender and seemed to take the flavor of the sauce very well. This felt like they just pulled some chicken off a rotisserie and mixed it with the sauce -- the chicken was pretty tough and in large chunks. There was a lot of potato mixed in, too to make it seem like there was more chicken. But this dish was relatively inexpensive. Overall, we'll still probably be back. It's good authentic Peruvian food, but it's not my favorite spot because they pack this place pretty tight, parking is limited, and I think the service is a bit spotty.

Some acceptable dishes, some very poor quality dishes. Aeropuerto Brava Brava is a simple and tasty dish. On the sweet side. Good texture to the rice.The cooked seafood in the Saltado de Mariscos was not at all fresh. Almost inedible and mixed with raw red onions and semi cooked tomato slices and cold fries. Some shrimp were peeled and some weren't, strips of dry chewy calamari. Nasty. I was embarrassed for chef Ceviche was probably the worst Peruvian ceviche I've ever had in the States or in Peru. Large pieces of unknown fish, with a chewy tough flesh. Very unappetizing. Lomo saltado was decent. Meat was chewey and not well seasoned. The sauce was nice for this dish and rice was well cooked.Mixed pisco drinks are very expensive and uninspired. Passion fruit cheesecake was not real cheesecake. Probably from a powder mix. None of us liked it.Nice staff, good energy in the restaurant but cannot possibly recommend Barra Brava.

The ceviches are all delicious, the other foods like the fried rice is only ok. But it makes sense as they are known mostly for their ceviche.

I have gone to this location 3 times this week. The food is EXCEPTIONAL! Customer service/waiters are quick and attentive. I have taken my friends and family here because I want to share the goodness with everyone! Their cocktails are phenomenal. Clean location. It's so good! Don't like the large menu overwhelm you, descriptions are provided in English, so many options even for children! (Pasta & chicken tenders w/fries)

Great ceviche restaurant near our house. They've been open for about a year and I can tell why business is booming. Their seafood is fresh, their service staff are conversational and friendly, and there are big screens around to watch sports games and music while enjoying the food. Love the authentic feel of the restaurant, the menu items, and the new drink I discovered and would totally recommend - chicha morada!

Came here twice this past week to check out the new restaurant in Burtonsville.The menu is fairly extensive with lots of options to choose. TOP favorites dishes were Lomo Saltado (sautéed steak) and Pollo Saltado (sautéed chicken), both come with french fries and rice--meats are well flavored and decent portions. The Jalea Nortena (whole fried red snapper) looked appetizing but wasn't crunchy enough or well flavored, and we weren't a fan of the basic tartar sauce that comes with it. The Bisteck a lo Pobre (Peruvian style steak) was bland and super dry because it was cooked medium-well closer to well done, when we asked for medium. The Ceviche de Pescado (tilapia fish) was okay. For cocktails, their Mojitos were average, I've had better--they don't even muddle the mint leaves. Pisco Sour seems to be a popular drink here--tried a shot and it wasn't bad!The restaurant is fairly small and they don't take reservations. Sat in the bar area both times--my second time, the music was extremely LOUD, I asked if they could turn it down a bit because it was hard to converse with my friend, but the manager refused. Also, I noticed that staff here are fluent in Spanish not English, so sometimes there's a disconnect when trying to ask for something. Service is a bit slow too. However, the hostess is super friendly and even came over to check on us!

So good. I was recommended this place by a Peruvian friend and tried it out. I got lomo saltado and my family got an assortment of ceviche. I highly recommend!
