Pipilinka

"I love this place and the staff is welcoming on top of the always great food, which they definitely take pride in the meals they serve. I believe it's the owner, each time I'm there he ensures all customers are content. Would be nice if there was a bigger seating area but that doesn't take away from the overall experience. I have been here about 3 times already and will definitely be back when I am in the area. I frequent other Peruvian restaurants in the DC/MD region depending on where I am on a particular day for work. This restaurant is for sure one of the top 3 on my list."

"This is a gem! We had the chicken, which was flavorful and falling off the bone. But, as good as the chicken was, the papusa was the stand out! We ordered the veggie - cheesy deliciousness topped with crunchy slaw and an amazing sauce. The service was friendly and helpful. Plus, parking was easy. Definitely recommend!"

"Tried this place for the first time today and had an awesome lunch. Chicken and sauces were amazing. Owner was there working the line and very helpfully explained all the different choices and options. My wife is gluten intolerant and had lots of options here and she really enjoyed it as well."

"Pipilinka is a hidden gem! My friends and I were craving Peruvian food and decided to come here for dinner. We ordered empanadas, Lomo Saltado, a whole Peruvian chicken with yucca fries, chaufa, and green beans as the sides, chicken sandwich, and the Pipilinka salad. All of the food was delicious - the Lomo Saltado was savory and flavorful, and the chicken was well seasoned and juicy. I typically don't like yucca but the yucca fries here were crispy and not dry at all. Both the green and yellow sauces were great and the salad and the dressing were nice and fresh. The sandwich was also very well balanced - loved the pickled onion - and would definitely make for a great lunch! We tried the standard tres leches and the lemon tres leches for dessert. The lemon flavor was refreshing but the standard one was definitely our favorite. The service was also amazing! The server (maybe owner?) was so friendly and attentive the entire time. Overall, my friends and I loved everything we tried and had such a great experience. We will definitely be coming back!"

"This little mom and pop Peruvian chicken place tucked away in the shopping center near Centennial is a great addition to the area. I've tried their chicken a couple times and also the lomo saltado (steak sub with thick strips of tenderloin) along with a few different sides and they were all delicious. The chicken were always moist and the sauces were flavorful. Their fried yuca is fluffy and the the lomo saltado was packed with meat and toppings. The ladies running the place are always friendly and efficient. I will definitely be returning regularly."
