Pisco y Nazca Bethesda

“I came to Pisco y Nazca for happy hour with the girlies and I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!!! Luhan was our waiter and he was great. He kept checking in our us, providing recommendations and even patiently flipped through pictures for each dish on the iPad which I love. He also was always around so we were able to order another drink before happy hour ended. We split the ceviche sampler which was delicious and I am not the biggest fan of seafood. I got the tallarine à la huancaina which is like a cheesy pasta with steak on top. DELICIOUS. My friends got the lomo saltado and the aji de gallina (chicken stew and rice) and everything was so good. I couldn’t help myself from eating multiple times from my friends plate. We also ordered the pisco spritz and Nazca mule to drink. Once again SO SO GOOD. The restaurant is so cute. We have a booth in the corner that perfecting for yapping and people watching :) Something about good food and really good chat with your friends just leave you in an amazing mood. I truly enjoyed this spot and my friends and I agreed this is definitely going to be a spot we could come back to.”

“We had such a great experience here! This was our second time visiting. We had Daniel S. This time and he was incredibly attentive, perfectly paced our meal, and gave honest, helpful recommendations that really elevated the whole experience. Everything we ordered was crazy good. The mixto ceviche was tangy and super flavorful—very filling for two people and had just the right level of spice for both of us (one spice lover, one not so much). The tuna tartar tacos were fresh and absolutely delicious, with amazing textures. The croquetas de ají de gallina literally melted in our mouths, very nice and comforting. For our main, we had the tallarines verdes, which had an incredible pesto sauce—creamy but still light, with a perfect balance of classic pesto flavors plus more. The steak served with it was also a great addition. We also tried the lomo saltado, one of Daniel’s recommendations, and it did not disappoint. The steak was tender, the vegetables paired perfectly, and the dish felt really well-balanced—not overloaded with fries, which we actually appreciated. The sauce tied everything together beautifully. Finished off with dessert a Nutella dulce de leche cake with some ice cream and notes of coffee! Overall, amazing food and even better service. We’ll definitely be returning.”

“Food and ambience at Pisco all deserve 5 stars. I colors were bright and vibrant. The seating was plush and comfortable. I stopped by on a busy Sunday and this place was packed by noon. We ordered everything from the causa pancita, tuna tartare tacos, lomo saltado montado, ceviche tradicional and the arroz con leche cheesecake. All of the dishes were bright and delicious. The saltado, tacos and ceviche are must orders. I really enjoyed my dining experience here and cannot wait to come back to try more traditional dishes.”

“Excellent Peruvian food in a fun atmosphere (great Spanish music and kitchen aromas). Daniel’s service was outstanding. Pictures of causa de pollo, leche de tigre (rocoto spicy) and parrillada con carne y pulpo. Great date spot. Makes me want to go back to Peru for a third time.”

“Really tasty food. Authentic peruvian flavor. No complains at all. Service was awesome. Melissa our server was very knowledgable and very nice. Always with a smile and willing to guide us in what we will choose. Atmosphere ok however the space of the table too small and also chairs too close to the other tables that made our stay a little unconfortable since people you dont even know is sit too close to you. Overall we love everything but space between tables.”
