Best Peruvian Restaurants in Bethesda

It totally exceeded expectations. The server was super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The food was excellent. We all had the "Lunch in Lima."

This was our 2nd visit. We really enjoyed our first visit, so decided to return when in the area instead of trying out a new spot. Made last minute reservations and were seated quickly. There was a very off putting smell when waiting at the host table - couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Walked to our table hoping it wasn’t throughout the restaurant. We sat down and reviewed the menu. Waiter arrived and he was not super helpful in helping my parents who had never had been there choose a meal, which was frustrating for a restaurant of this caliber. Felt very rushed to make menu choices and without our questions being adequately answered. Food came out and was fine. Just the waiter ruined the experience.

Andrea, Ernesto and the blond woman (I didn’t catch her name but she’s awesome). You have an incredible staff with a lot of passion. They clearly appreciate both the food and drinks. Thank god! One of the first restaurants in dc we’ve truly felt at home! We will be back. With friends. Thank you.

Excellent cocktails, service and selections. Whole fish prices seem high but the preparation is outstanding.

Loved El Secreto de Rosita! — The food was outstanding; exceptionally excellent. — The atmosphere was sophisticated, cultured, but also fun. — The decor is great and the seats are comfortable, all in all makes one not want to leave. — Our waiters could have been a little bit more patient and poised, but still the service was a solid A. — I am excited to go back to El Secreto de Rosita!
