best Peruvian chicken in Rockville/Gaithersburg?

Anonymous
Title. Wanted to go out to try Peruvian chicken after a positive experience at the Crisp and Juicy in Rockville Pike. Any other good Peruvian chicken places, at least around the Rockville or Gaithersburg area.

We love Chicken on the Run in Bethesda and liked Sardi’s Pollo a la Brasa in Gaithersburg last time we were there a couple of years ago. Can’t really recall having bad Peruvian chicken around here. We are lucky to have easy access to it.

We are fans of Apollo Central in Aspen Hill. The fried rice chaufa is the best!

We’ve enjoyed Sardi’s Pollo a la Brasa as well. We haven’t tried the new Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Grill in Kentlands yet. If you’re ever in the Wheaton area, try El Pollo Rico. When they were in a smaller storefront, they’d have lines out the door and they’d sell out almost every day before closing.

I miss Crisp & Juicy. That was my OG Peruvian chicken.

How similar are other vendors? Is the green sauce pretty identical from place to place?

I like Don Pollo over by the Home Depot at the intersection of Shady Grove and Gaither Road. Green sauce is spicy chili sauce and pretty similar place to place.

We got your the Pollo Rico by the Home Depot at Westlake, and I like it a lot but have been wondering how it compares to crisp and juicy in Kensington. Thoughts welcome.

I tried the Don Pollo on Shady Grove but found it drying. My go to is still Crisp and Juicy in Rockville. I also like their sauce the best.

I love Sardis, but its expensive..good news OP is that if you live closer to Rockville Pike by Twinbrook or North Bethesda, they are opening a new Sardis at the Loehmanns Plaza.

Honestly, Crisp n Juicy has consistently been the best.
