Huascaran 🇵🇪 — Restaurant in Alexandria

We have been to many Peruvian restaurants in many states California, Florida, Puerto Rico, New York and New Jersey we have even owned a Peruvian restaurant in NJ, so we love our Peruvian food and since we were in Washington D.C we had to go. There happen to be a lot of restaurants in the area, but we decided on this one because it had a full menu and good reviews. We went with our 2 kids and the restaurant was very dirty with food on floor, seats ripped and just overall messy. I'm by no way classy and need a 5 star environment to eat but come on clean your place. And second the service was horrible to say the lease. Waitress ignored us for the first 15 min we were there and after that we didn't see her again until we got our check. As for food it was good we got anticucho, lomo saltado, tallarin verde and churrasco. Food came out fast...

Huascaran is a gem for those craving home-cooked Peruvian cuisine. Their dishes are packed with flavor and remind me of comfort food I grew up with. The portions are generous, and the quality of ingredients is top-notch. Unfortunately, the service can be a bit hit or miss. While some staff members are attentive and friendly, others seem to disappear after delivering your food. It can be frustrating to wait for refills or additional requests when the staff is seemingly MIA. Despite this minor drawback, Huascaran's delicious food makes it a worthwhile destination. If you're willing to overlook the occasional service hiccup, you'll be rewarded with a satisfying and authentic Peruvian dining experience.

La comida en Huascaran es deliciosa y casera, pero el servicio puede ser inconstante. Si estás dispuesto a pasar por alto esto, ¡no...

I don’t write reviews, but after ordering takeout from Huascaran Restaurant tonight, I had to. This food knocked my socks off. I’d never tried this local restaurant before so tonight, I ordered a sampling of menu items mentioned in other reviews - ceviche mixta, papa rellena (deep fried beef stuffed mashed potatoes), cau cau a la Criolla (tripe stew), jalea de pescado (fried fish and yucca with a creole sauce) - all served with fresh red onions and tomatoes. The acidity of the vegetables was the perfect addition to each menu item. Every dish was so flavorful and fresh. I ordered arroz con leche for dessert and it was rich and creamy. I will be dining in at the restaurant in the near future. It did not disappoint!! Outstanding. This review feels so overly excited that it sounds like I’m a bot, but this is a person. And this food...
