Crisp and Juicy

Wanted to give 3.5 stars. Tender and juicy chicken. The magic is in the sauce but they are stingy with the magic. :(Generous with their sides, which were delicious.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.
Chicken was disgustingly greasy and smelled horrible. Cole slaw was old! Only good sides were fries and rice.
OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive for the amount of food you get. Will not be returning.

One of the most terrible Peruvian chicken places I’ve been to. The chicken was perfectly cooked with crisp skin but everything else was bland and low quality. Ordered mashed sweet potatoes which had small pieces of unknown origin, potato salad with zero flavor, salad that was basically shredded lettuce and carrots from s Subway bar.

Went here a few weeks ago while visiting the Gaithersburg area. I loved it! The chicken was delicious and the side sauce was yummy … However they could be more generous on the amount of sauce they give. Also, fried YUCA omg yum! Will definitely come back if I ever end up down there again.

Service has definitely gone down this used to be my favorite chicken spot in the area but I think they deserve two or three stars Rice was not very good I would expect better Rice especially for Spanish style rice

The food is mediocre. They don’t give you enough sauce and not a lot of side choices. The reason for my one star is how rude the owner/​manager is. We were customers for years, I even used to get catering for my office from there. One night he insulted my 7 yr old and was really rude to us. I will spend my money at don pollo (who’s food is better in my opinion), where they are friendly and value customers.

I love them, they are always nice to me, they never mess up my order, best Peruvian chicken in my opinion. Delicious

Great chicken with a smokey, rich flavor. Don’t forget to have the yucca, plantains, and rice with beans. Great value for your dollar. Great place for kids as food is prepared quickly. All of the food is also prepared fresh as it is ordered. Wish I had one of these places by me in New York.

Love there chicken and there hot sauce
For the sides I only eat the rice and blacks, don’t real care you try anything else but you should try it and make your own opinion

I have come here for the past 6 years and every time I come I don’t leave disappointed. They get pretty crowded so I won’t judge the people who is very busy trying to serve everybody. Since I like to judge by the food.
Their chicken is the real DEAL it tastes amazingly if you know how to cook you can almost taste the explosion of flavors and spices in every bite of your chicken, is like a tour of flavors in your mouth, I am not a big fan of the skin but theirs gets so crispy as the name of the place says that I eat it all and as I say the explosion inside your mouth is like an orgasm of flavors (giggling).
Their rice and beans are another PLUS and like if that was not enough flavor their HOT sauce is one of the best things ever is not like the regular mayo and ketchup sauce you tend to taste in almost every restaurant that serves Peruvian chicken. I hope to one day go to Peru and taste their food from first hand.
All in all I do recommend this place, if you go for the food you won’t be disappointed at all.

Oh C&J, I love you so. Food is consistently great. The yellow/​mild sauce is really crack sauce. Lol it’s that good. Best peruvian chicken around.

I was surprised that they charged for sauces and give you dried up yuca. Save your money and go to Guapos Rotisserie.

You don’t give another customer an order someone had brought back. Thats disgusting. I will never go to this location.

I was worried when Sardis, my go-​to caught fire a few months ago. Thankfully I found this little gem hidden behind lakeforest mall.
It’s a little more expensive but the quality is a little better IMO. The sides are especially fresh and the yuca was cooked to order on both of my visits. I would have given five starts, however on my first visit the chicken was just a bit dry for my taste.

I loooooooove this place!!! When I’m on my death bed I want IVs of they spicy sauce. When I die, I want to be slathered in their spicy sauce. The chicken is great and the sides are delicious. The value for money is not bad. It’s my favorite restaurant in the area. Keep it up!

This is the nicest looking Peruvian chicken place I’ve been to! I was very pleasantly surprised by the interior of the restaurant. The cashier was friendly, the chicken came out relatively quickly, and my food was good — what else can you really ask for?

Sometimes strip mall food can be the best ever. This however is not the case. I read how people love the chicken here and how great the sides are. I ordered the chicken adobo platter the best of all worlds right?
WRONG!
The rice has zero flavor which would be fine if the black beans had flavor. The beans taste like salt That’s it no pepper no cumin or onion give me something please!
Ok here comes the mighty chicken! And… Crap. That’s right it taste like old overlooked salty no adobo seasoning at all. Really! Oh and I ordered the hot sauce to kick it up a notch. Uhhhh not impressed at all had alittle heat no flavor. Oh the only reason I didn’t give a 1 star the plantains actually had flavor and the service was fast. But hey when everything is old, sitting in a container waiting for a dummy to eat it, it better be fast.

«When in Rome, do as the Romans do.» This place claims chicken. I probably should have ordered chicken. I had the Carnita, a steak sandwich served with peppers and onions on a sub roll. I was delighted to see the roll is pressed like a panini. Topped it off with fries and a caesar salad.
I arrived home to open my sandwich and find that it was cut but not really. The bread was cut but not the meat. The tomato that I said no thanks to was on the sandwich anyway.
Ok, no worries, I just need to extricate the tomato and find a knife.
That’s where things got interesting. The steak was so tough it was incapable of being cut. That explains why it wasn’t cut. It wasn’t some lazy person not taking time to do the job right, it was because the steak was really a shoe. The flavor on the steak was pretty good, and the bread could be a winner, but the prep was all wrong. Thank goodness for the sauce – excellent by the way. It saved me from slathering the sandwich in ketchup.
Maybe I’m nitpicking, but the grilled peppers weren’t grilled, so that was a bust too.
And some of my fries were hard and undercooked.
You only get once chance to make a first impression. I won’t be going back. I ended up here because I couldn’t find the 4-​star Unilocal restaurant that brought me that direction, and I can’t even give this spot the 3.5 stars it is has. I bet the chicken is good, but I won’t find out. Sorry guys.

I love this chicken! It’s so darn good! This was my first time having this type of chicken a few years ago. Peruvian chicken is amazing! It’s rotisserie style with some delicious spices. They have so many sides to choose from; black beans and rice, salad, yuca, and plantains.
I recommend the ¼ chicken white meat, yuca and the black beans and rice. If you want to go all out, order the plantains too.
It also comes with a choice of sauces mild and spicy. Get the spicy. I like the spicy orange sauce and the green one. Ask for two of each sauce. It’s 25 cents extra, but what the hey.
This is a cheap, good and filling meal. Anyone I brought here loves it!

I totally don’t know how legit Crisp & Juicy is to authentic Peruvian chicken, but I love that they opened a location closer to home.
Clean and spacious, the people aren’t rude and the food service is perhaps faster than the Rockville one AND has better parking. I haven’t tried their sandwiches… but I do come here now about twice a month… dark meat chicken with yellow rice and salad… yucca…plantains…I could keep going… someone stop me!
