Perchi’s

This place is closed. ‘For Rent’ signs all over the glass, tables and chairs gone, no forwarding or relocating notes anywhere… I asked someone at an adjacent store and they had no idea. If they’ve relocated to Fort Smallwood they ought to update their webpage. Sorry to see them go…

I heard that Perchi’s is moving to Fort Smallwood in Pasedena. They should open in June.

This place is the worst. Food always taste different, never consistent. Sauces are very runny and taste like vinegar. It used to be some what good but not anymore. Chicken always taste like it’s been sitting around like forever. Take a lesson from from Sardis!

Considering it’s the only Peruvian option around, it works. But the service is so so so slow. They need a lesson from Sardi’s.

I don’t think there are many Peruvian chicken places around here so maybe that’s why the reviews are better than I’d expected them to be after having my «meh» dinner.
Perhaps I’m just spoiled because I work near Sardi’s (which is on-​fucking-​point), but the chicken, sides, and sauces are all lacking the flavor that I’m used to. Most places have black beans and white rice sold together as one side, but here it counted as two separate ones. Further, I’m fairly certain these beans came straight from a can.
And there weren’t any steamed veggies (I usually get green beans). Their green sauce is really spicy is which is ok, but it’s not very flavorful.
I’ve been here twice and the people working are friendly, but I think they could definitely ramp up their food game.

My buddies and I each had the ¼ chicken with rice and fried plantains and they were pretty dang good. There is no AC so be prepared to sweat, but the food was quickly served and very tasty at a great price.

You have to get past the fact that the interior is cheap looking and the menu is somewhat confusing. Also there may be an attendant whose English is not the best and you might have to repeat your order a couple of times to make sure it is right. But all that really matters is that Perchi’s chicken is soooo gooood. Fantastical.
I’m also a big fan of the fried yuca, the plantains and the sweet potatoes. The prices are decent too however the can of soda giveaway with the meal is kinda cheesy (can we get a real drink please).
Can’t wait to go back for more terrific chicken.

The food is great specially the chicken n the fried fish I love it, price is also not bad, but it seems like whenever I want to try a different food they say they r out of it, but other than that its not bad…

There was a huge language barrier between the cashier and customer. It appeared as though they did not understand there own menu.
He would have also liked to have been notified that the fish (Tilipia) was not filleted.

So. Freakin’ DELICIOUS!
My only complaints are that they should really be more liberal with that delicious white sauce of theirs. And also that I can’t afford to shove their chicken and fried plantain in my face every single day.

Price was right and portion was perfect for lunch. The chicken had that perfectly crisp skin and was moist on the inside. I chose the plantains ($ 0.50 more) and slaw as sides and wasn’t disappointed. The menu also seemed to have a lot of authentic dishes I had never heard of.

Excellent chicken, definately the only true peruvian place in the area. Worth a stop in Glen Burnie for this great food.

This is my 3^rd Peruvian chicken joint I’ve been to and I have to say, I wasn’t impressed unless I’m looking for a plate full of skin. Yes, I said «skins». I ordered the ¼ chicken meal with two sides, one of chaufa (their version of fried rice) and one of fried plantains. My husband ordered the ¼ chicken as well with sweet potatoes topped with marshmallow (Peruvian? I doubt it) and black beans. My chicken was very overcooked, had nice flavor but not the spices I’ve know Peruvians to marinate their meat with. The skin was crispy and the best part of it all. The chicken was so overcooked that you can tell tell that the meat shrunk. Yes, it shrank. Have you ever over roasted a pepper and you were left with just the skin and no pulp? Kind of like that. The rice you can tell had been sitting there for some time because half the rice was dried out and had bits of chicken through out it. I tasted a flowery note in the rice and I kept going in trying to decipher it. They use fresh ginger in it. I even found bits of ginger fibers throughout it. Not good. It’s way too dominating. First I had seen/​heard that ginger is used in their chaufa. The fried plantains were good but their Amarillo (yellow) sauce was tangy. Not great. Their green sauce was ok but not great either. Similar to pickled jalapeños puréed. I tried the sweet potato and they were incredibly sweet. Our 1yr was barely into them but only for a few bites. We ordered that just for her. The black beans were tasty, 2 yr old ate half the portion. The dinners were pretty inexpensive. Around $ 6.50 ish a plate and if you want water. You can only get it by buying their bottled water. I would not come here again. Chicken Rico in B-​more is the best by far. Get some!

Ordered the lunch special on the menu –¼ chicken with a choice of two sides and a soda for 6.95. Apparently the special is only good Mon-​Fri, which no where did it say it excludes weekends. The lunch special is advertised twice –on their wall menu and their pamphlet menu. I was a little upset about the false advertisement, but even more upsetting was that a canned drink and even a bottled water costs $ 2.00! Anyway, back to food, my chicken was on the dry side. They over seasoned the rice with soy sauce. Their coleslaw looked like it was drenched in mayo, but it actually tasted good. Their peruvian style beans were also pretty good. I did take a bite of my fiancé’s shrimp burrito, it tasted pretty fair, nothing amazing. Same goes for the fried plantains.
Nothing extravagant. I went there in hopes of trying some amazing rotissari chicken, but i was very disappointed. It was hot in there –they need to crank up the AC unit in this summer weather.
The cashier lady did not speak much english… there was a little but of a language barrier between her and us… I wouldn’t go out of my way to come eat here again…

Moving from the city, I wanted to find a place similar to Chicken Rico, one of my favorite restaurants. I found Perchis via Unilocal and decided to give it a try. The chicken was good, the chicken rice was great. The place was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. I’ll definitely be returning.

This place isi DISGUSTING! I have been a customer of Perchi’s for FIVE YEARS. Tonight, when my husband and I were eating there, a ROACH crawled on my shirt, and then on the table. When we told the cashier, she confirmed that it was a roach (my husband had killed it) and called the owner. First, he offered $ 5, and then ½ of the price of our meal, which I did not accept, being that this is a serious health issue and we didn’t finish our meal. When the employee handed the phone to me, the owner started yelling at me immediately, asking me where the roach came from (gee, I don’t know; next time I’ll ask it!), and told me that unless it was in our food, it didn’t come from his restaurant. He then hung up on me. Tomorrow I will be filing reports with the Health Dept. and the BBB. When I got home, I called back to ask for the employee’s and owner’s names, and she refused to give them to me (I only wanted her name so that I could say in my reports that she was nice and trying to be helpful, but OH WELL). She said I had to come in and talk to the owner in person (yeah, I’m really inclined to do that, after he yelled at me and hung up on me). The new owner is outrageously rude and obviously doesn’t care about a loyal customer, and I hope my $ 20 is worth it to him. Not only am I disgusted, but I am allergic to roaches. Will NEVER go near this place again!

My husband and I eat here at least once a month, sometimes more. They have the best chicken tacos and flautas I’ve ever had in my life! Their yellow sauce is to die for! You will not be disappointed!

I use to have class at GBTC right next door so I would eat here every once in a while (It was a 5 hour class, ugh!). Anyways, I like that it was very authentic looking but the food was just not on point. I ordered the chicken tacos a few times and I always thought it was like having a left over chicken sandwich but on a taco. Very plain and no flavor. There is nothing at all special about it but it does satisfy hunger. They gave me a lot of food every time I went there. But it took forever for them to finish an order of anything. I was in a rush so I stood the whole time and they were having a cow that I wasn’t sitting down to relax. I kind of think that they just don’t want people watch them prepare the food which kind of concerned me.
I see that Frank J had friend who found a bone in her sandwich, I too had one. Not pleasant.
The food is edible but I have concerns. It’s definitely not disgusting, just not anything special.

We’ve been there before, and the food averaged out to a three-​star (good chicken, OK sides).
On our second trip here, we were so disappointed in the place that we walked out.
It was a Saturday early dinner. There was one person in front of us in line, and two at the tables waiting to be served.
The kid running the register was probably thirteen, and he spent the entire time we were in there on his phone (either taking orders or talking). The gentleman running the kitchen plodded along making one dish at a time, slowly and somewhat disinterestedly.
We waited about ten minutes — during which the one person in line in front of us never quite got finished making her order — and then we left to go next door for Thai.
It may have just been a totally off day, but I don’t really see myself making the effort to go there if they’re not even going to make the effort to say «I’ll be with you in a minute.» Or even make eye contact.

It’s nice to have a Peruvian place nearby, but this retaurant isn’t really anything special. The chicken is great, but the sides sometimes leave a bit to desire: the plantains are greasy, the rice is bland, and the salsa isn’t very flavorful. One time my friend found a bone in her sandwich. It always takes several minutes to fill an order, even of items that come out pretty quick other places.
Perchi’s isn’t worth visiting unless you have a serious craving for some Peruvian food.
