El Estribo

A very cozy/white linen table cloth place. I really liked the food. Service was good at the beginning but towards the end , it got really hectic in the restaurant, when a wedding party showed up randomly and they asked us to move tables , so they could sit the 40 people that showed up at once! I'm not even kidding, it was 40 people with no reservations prior, they showed up with a wedding cake too lol. The staff was running around like chickens with their head cut off. The wedding party kept bumping into our table and other patrons table, needless to say we were all super annoyed, . I mean I get restaurants need business but to take 40 people without reservations on whim like that was definitely bad judgment on management. We couldn't even hear ourselves talk, it got so loud. Would I come back , I honestly don't know, but I can say the food was good, especially the leche the tigre

Delicious Peruvian food! The flavor & portions here never miss. Favorites are the causa rellena de pollo, lomo saltado & the aji de gallina. They also have Peruvian breakfast on the weekends which is hard to find. Doesn't get better than their w/ pan con chicharron with the salsa criolla. The servers are always sweet & quick to help my needy self - explaining the specials, giving me refills, extra sauce, napkins lol. Doesn't get any more authentic than here (& my Peruvian husband agrees!)

Food was good. Seafood soup was good. A little different to what I've had before. Great service. Definitely will try again

If you want good, authentic Peruvian food this is the place to go. I am Peruvian myself and I always recommend this place. I've gone here for years and they never disappoint.Jalea, Tallerines Verdes, Lomo Saltado, Anticuchos, etc. Everything is delicious here. Also the Chicha Morada and Maracuya are great. Definitely recommend!

Great Peruvian food in Sterling Virginia. Great staff and the restaurant is very clean. My family loves going to El Bristo

My favorite place for Peruvian food! The lomo saltado is not an easy dish to perfect - but they do every time. I took my Mom here and she raved about the papa rellena and ceviche. Came here a different time to see how their arroz chaufa de pollo is - was so impressed with it - not greasy like other places & the right flavor. Portions are generous too, thank you!!

Just had breakfast/lunch at El Estribo and had an awful experience. The service was horrible- I also ordered an orange juice and the brought it in a kids cup with a straw. When my son drank out of the kids cup, he said the oj was bad! I tried it and they ACCIDENTALLY put Mimosa in a kids cup! When we told them- they didn't even apologize and no manager came to talk to us. We will never go there again! I would have given zero stars but you have to select at least one!

Poor Customer Service and Lying to the customer abuot the food they are Serving. and over charge it.

Terrible terrible terrible. We were left without nothing to drink the entire time. Our server said she would bring us water but instead She sat and had lunch a few tables down from where we were sitting and didn't even bother to pick up our dirty plates first or provide us a refill. The place Plays no music is quiet and awkward, you can hear everything people say. I requested music and the server said that the owner had an issue with the internet and she was "fixing it" I've been here before and they never play music is it must be an ongoing issue, be better with that.. They finally played some music and blasted the volume soooo high that my 14 month old baby got so scared and started crying. They did this 2 times. Never again.

Food is not taste, there is a big difference between Peruvian food taste and Estribo restaurant taste
