So...I walked into Pipilinka not knowing much just that my hubby loves this type of food! I thought it would be a nice touch for his upcoming birthday celebration. Plus I wouldn't have to cook!
Ed, owner, greeted me as soon as I walked in. He was so friendly and warm. Directed me to the menus and asked what I was interested in ordering. Once I said I would love to order a selection for my hubby's birthday celebration, he said "CATERING...come sit down." He was just wonderful. With his input (and staff) we customized a selection of offerings for all of our guests, even ones with selective diets. I said that I would pick-up and we arranged a time. We even got desserts and Mother's Day treats since it was the day before. Fast forward to day of pick-up, and everything was READY to go when I walked in. Perfectly prepared and packed. Ed even helped (he did all of the work TBH) carry everything out and load it into my car (parked on the curb). It was perfect. EVERYONE LOVED EVERYTHING. Literally. EVERYONE LOVED EVERYTHING. I got four whole chickens, rice, Mac-n-cheese, fried yucca, plantains, pickled onion side (YUM!), salad with yummy dressing, sauces (devine), empanadas (OMG...yum), cookies and the special Mother's Day cookies. OMG! SOOOO GOOOOOOOOD! Everyone asked to take something home! We had nothing left and hubby was MAD! Ha! DELICIOUS!!! Thank you Ed and team! Fantastic food. Fantastic experience. We will be back to dine in and cater in the future. Appreciate you making this birthday super special and stress-free for me!!!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!
PS. I didn't take photos. So mad at myself. Will...
Read moreI recently hosted a catered event for 40 people and chose Pipilinka, a family-owned Peruvian restaurant in Ellicott City. The experience was outstanding from start to finish.
Pipilinka delivers genuine Peruvian flavors with every dish. From the savory Lomo Saltado to the zesty Ceviche, each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, showcasing the finest ingredients and careful preparation.
The team at Pipilinka was incredibly attentive to dietary restrictions and allergies, providing clear labels and customized dishes to meet various needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and nut-free options. Their flexibility and consideration were impressive.
The food was delivered promptly and arrived fresh and perfectly cooked, allowing us to focus on enjoying the event without any logistical worries. Pipilinka's reliability is commendable.
From the initial inquiry to the event's end, Pipilinka's customer service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, professional, and responsive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of with ease.
Pipilinka brings the rich and vibrant flavors of Peruvian cuisine to Ellicott City with top-notch service, delicious food, and a genuine commitment to quality. I highly recommend Pipilinka for any dining or catering needs. Thank you, Pipilinka, for making our event a...
Read moreAs someone who grew up with the rich flavors of Peruvian cuisine, finding a place that truly captures the authenticity of homemade Peruvian food has been a journey. Pipilinka Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken, however, is a hidden gem that brought me back to the cherished meals of my Abuela's second husband, who was Peruvian.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, Eduardo and he shared the heartwarming story behind their recipes. The flavors are a delightful combination from both his wife and mother, with his wife mastering the art to perfection. It's like a taste of home that I thought was lost. Like discovering Machu Picchu.
I highly recommend Pipilinka Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken to any one of Peruvian descent or anyone with a love for Peruvian cuisine like me. The Bistec Al La Pobre and Tamales are nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is a nostalgic journey, and the care put into each dish is evident. Make it a priority to experience the authentic and soul-satisfying flavors at Pipilinka Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken – it's a culinary journey...
