Peruvian Brothers

Went a couple times while in the area. Food and service were excellent.The Lomo tasted very authentic.5 stars on everything except the yuca and French fries, both seemed to from a frozen bag. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.Would recommend and would eat there again.

Peruvian Brothers is not a hotel-only restaurant. They are a fastish-food place, a bit of a chain, a bit modern, so I'm not convinced they're fully authentic. But I enjoyed the meal experience overall.We went up to order and there is a digital kiosk. As my friend was entering his order, one of the employees said I could place my order directly with him. Perfect! All set with my chicken saltado, asked about the option for noodles but that would have replaced the potatoes and rice and I didn't want to do that.Before my dinner came out, another guy came over to me to explain they were out of white rice. Is yellow rice okay? Pro tip: Ask for yellow rice instead of rice. It's excellent, with veggies mixed in. Phenomenal with the spicy sauce, or if you're not a spice hound, the green sauce.Upon going back up to the counter to pick up my food (called by name if you order in the kiosk, buzzed if you order in person: Meat was good. Maybe a little light on chicken, but a satisfying meal overall. You see my friend got gigantic empanadas, but you pay more than other places for that bigger size. As for the taste, I'm not sure. The crust is good, not perfect, but the little bits of meat I tried seemed a bit sweet and light on fragrant herbs and spices. I didn't have a full empanada myself so I can't confirm, but the beef seemed better than the chicken and he agreed. The ceviche looked really good, comes with corn kernels of both huge and crisp varieties (that and a bit of the sauce is all I tried). So it goes back to - how Peruvian is this? How much do you want a sit-down meal vs. a counter order? Do you want a dark ambiance or a bright modern one? For now, and with my friend's repeated enjoyment, I will award a solid 4 stars and see if that changes should we return.

If you love empanadas, Peruvian Brothers does them right. My seven-year-old daughter and I LOVED their beef ones. They sprinkle a little powder sugar on top and give you a delicious dipping sauce. So good! My wife loves their seasonal soups, especially on a cold day. The space at this location is large with plenty of seating. Order on the screen or at the register. Your food is ready within minutes.

Can't get over how great the quinoa and chicken bowl was! This is definitely a repeat decision if I find myself in crystal city area. There will be restaurants around it with 2 hour waits but I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with stopping here. They have dedicated indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and debatably most importantly, extremely kind staff who have their hearts in this restaurant. Yum, yum, and yum!

Pretty solid Peruvian food. The highlights for me were the lomo saltado (very tasty) and the plantains. I'd avoid the empanadas; the chicken ones we got during happy hour were quite dry. We really enjoyed our drinks; especially the pisco sour slushie!They have a screen you can order on, although it didn't work when we were there, or you can order at the counter.There's a decent amount of seating inside, and just a few tables outside. It can get packed at busy times. Bonus: The alpaca happy hours in May were super cute-- hoping for more of those!

This food is bomb idc idc idc. My boyfriend and I both got the Chicken Saltado after I begged to try this place after seeing it on my walks. The restaurant decor isn't anything to write home about--pretty standard for the neighborhood. The menu is simple, the price is reasonable, and I love that I got a crazy number of sauces to try (without knowing the names of any of them). There's an aioli/mayo that went really well with the potatos, and honestly the whole bowl is carb heaven. It's a touch spicy but mostly flavorful. My only critique is that we waited quite a while for the food but since it came hot and tasty I let it slide.

Checked out this spot from la cosecha. I don't know if i was hungry but everything was so so so good, except the chicken empanadas. Chicken empanadas was a bit dry so utilized the sauce that they gave you. The chicken was JUICYYYY and delicious, soft and moist. Can't get better chicken! The plantains was crispy and sweet and the yucca was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I would 100% come here again. Parking is hard to find but once you find it , go to la cosecha and walk straight in and you'll see the llamas in the back! I do think the portion for the yucca was such a small portion but it was good so it's okay :))

Peruvian chicken is something that I don't think anyone has been able to imitate and Peruvian brothers continues to excel in the quality of their food. Chicken bowl and beef empanadas were AMAZING!Drink bar and food ordering stations are separate - and they have n/a and alcoholic drink options :) Fantastic and speedy service!

I've eaten here about 3-4 times now and they're fairly good. It's one of the only Peruvian spots in walking distance without catch the metro or driving within the Pentagon City area. I usually get the half chicken or the chicken bowl. The arrive is fairly quick. They do their jobs and that's about it lol. The prices are okay fairly expensive for Peruvian chicken and the food doesn't come with sides like most places. Everything is a la carte. The ambiance is actually nice fairly casual

I have ordered for delivery and dined in a few times, and each time I have not been disappointed. Peruvian Brothers is a yummy spin off of food truck food and turned it into a dining experience. Dare I say gourmet truck food? I'll explain -Full bar, fair amount of seats, customers order and pay at the register and you reviewed a buzzer to notify you when your meal is ready.You are served with eco-friendly disposable platter and plastic ware, however drinks from the bar are glass.I had my first pisco sour here at Peruvian Brothers and they are yummy! If I had to compare it to another drink, It's Peru's version of a margarita.Now the food - Yucca fries - fresh crunch on the outside and soft inside, honestly I cannot stop eating them!Their Chicken bowls are flavorful, love the quinoa in themMy cousin mentioned the empanadas were flavorful (they are baked)But my favorite is the ceviche! It is savory, authentic and a hearty portion. Served with some fries, or slice of sweet potato, piece of corn or fried corn Price wise, it's restaurant prices without full table service but food is fresh and I will be backThis month, the owner's alpacas visit on Fridays and that was a treat! They are tame and chill in spite of the crowds and also puppy approved!
