“ The Nibbler has the best Peruvian food in Gaithersburg. The service is excellent, and the black bean soup is highly recommended. ”
“ Love this little place! Food and service are excellent. Not much of a drink selection (canned/bottled sodas & iced teas; there were some beer in their fridge), but that didn't both us one bit. The Inka Chicken was moist delicious and went well with the yuca and fried plantains. The Ropa Vieja was just as delicious and partnered perfectly with the rice, black beans and also came with the fried plantains. Food servings were very generous. We were full but we really wanted to try their Bananas Tres Leches and their Alfajores - - we were so happy we did! The tres leches wasn't too banana-ey, which was great for me. We can't wait to come back and try their other dishes! ”
“ A small Mom and Pop type establishment with dine-in seating. Friendly smiles from the owner as soon as you walk into the door, and immediately provides wonderful customer service. My girlfriend introduced me to this place a couple of years ago, and I’ve never been disappointed with every visit. I absolutely love the Lomo Saltado, and my family loves the Ropa Vieja, which are prepared to order within eye sight, as the grill is directly behind the cash register. We absolutely love this place and I highly recommend it if you are in the area. Though it’s limited seating, there’s always carry out traffic from patrons that appear to be satisfied returning customers. ”
“ My wife and I ordered food for pickup. We had a lomo saltado, aji de gallina, the calamari, empanadas de pollo and some alfajores. We were delighted with the food, the way it was packaged and most importantly- the way it tasted. We will come back for more, delicious Peruvian food! ”
