Yum, great chicken,& sides. Ordered take out December 27, 2015. The sides were coleslaw, potato salad, and some special rice. Definitely get a bunch of that special sauce to add to their delicious food. We will be getting getting more from there today. Enjoy! We did.

This is a really nice clean location with chicken that fits the name. Green sauce is a little extra spicy, but very good. Worth the trip to check out. It is one of the nicer«pay before you eat» style restaurants I have been to.

My family and I had lunch here today and it was underwhelming to say the least. I ordered the Aloha sandwich and the chicken was not juicy at all, in fact it was rather dry. Despite coming in at 12:15pm, it tasted like it had sat out for hours and was cooked again. The cheese was not melted on the warm sandwich so it tasted weird. I give them a one star for their food, but gave extra because of the clean restaurant and friendly staff.

Great food and was quick! Their sauce is too die for. I got the salad and it was easily good price for the size of the salad! Going to coming back more.

There’s another Unilocal entry for this restaurant — Crisp&Juicy Frederick. Same review: Got Take-out. Chicken was amazingly succulent and delicious. Great sauces too. Check it out!

Very slow service for a Peruvian chicken joint. Staff was friendly, but they don’t rate too good in the speed department. As for food quality, the chicken was fresh, and indeed crispy, but waaaaaaay too salty. They probably brine their chicken to keep it juicy and tender, but they could probably adjust the salt to water ratio. Then, as if the chicken wasn’t salty enough, the skin was loaded with even more salt which made it inedible for me… big bummer too, because I could peel the skin off of a whole chicken or turkey and eat it in one sitting. The yuca was good and crispy, which is tough to do. Fries were boring, clearly frozen and just deep fried, but thats ok. The rice was terrible. It tasted like boil-in-a-bag rice. The plantains were good… standard flavor. The sauces were decent, but the orangey-colored one was really salty too. If I could, I would only give 2 ½ stars, but since the place is so new, maybe they need to work out the kinks. Ok, off to drink a gallon of water now.

I was really put off by the name of the restaurant as it does not sound appetizing but I’m glad we came in. It’s located in a shopping plaza across from bone fish and it’s pretty easy to find. They take your order at the counter when you come in and the menu has ¼, half and full chicken in dark or white meat, lots of different sides and sandwiches. The chicken was good and tasted a bit different than other polla ala brasa that I’ve had but it was still juicy and good. The rice is cooked well, the fried plantains are tasty as is the fried yukka. They have mild and hot sauces but the hot one isn’t very hot. The atmosphere is pretty average and feel’s a bit cold.

There is something about rotisserie chicken that brings me back to my childhood. This place is absolutely the best, not only was the chicken juicy but it tasted just like the way my tastes buds remembered it. I chose fries as my side and they were also delicious and not greasy at all, My friend ate the chorizo sandwich and believe me when I say he is the pickiest eater in the world, and he loved it. The place was spotless and everyone was really friendly and helpful, everyone greeted us with a smile. I have been back a couple of times and I’ve always been glad we stopped by. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!

I am such a fan of this place. My good friend Sonia, from El Salvador introduced me to this place. Such good crispy chicken, well seasoned along with tons of other choices and sides that one could never get bored of. Peruvian chicken is my new food love. It’s not breaded(I’m a GF freak now) and this is such a plus. most places want to bread EVERYTHING. I also love the sides — yucca, fried plantains, rice, beans, etc. and the crema — aji verde and aji rojo are to die for!!! The only reason I give this 4 instead of 5 is the rice and salad. Their«salad» consists of lettuce tomato and onion in a small side container. Some people think this is worthy of a salad but to me, that’s hamburger topping, not salad. Give me some green onion or cucumber instead of onion and tomato. Rice is ok — yellow rice is bland, no flavor, I can’t figure out why it’s yellow(it’s not saffron) but other than that I love this place! Atmosphere is warm, welcoming. Facility is clean and appears that employees and managers care about this place. Hope they keep up the good work.

We have gotten take out from here twice, and enjoyed it both times. The stand out by far is the chicken– definitely crisp, not dry(though I don’t know that I’d say juicy exactly) and flavorful. The sauces are also awesome– the green sauce is hot, but tastes so fresh it hits you the minute you taste it– like a summer spicy salad. The other sauce is mayo based, with mild heat and great flavor. I like to think it’s Peruvian ranch dressing :) However, I have to say that the sides are really not exciting– there’s not one side I get excited to order. And I cannot recommend the fries at all– they were yucca fries so extra thick, and not fried hot enough or long enough. They were a soggy, undercooked mess. The white rice, beans and coleslaw are ok, but basically something you could get from a grocery store. Beans and rice were ok, they were actually better the next day– they had a nice saltiness to them… the coleslaw is standard American fare… I layered all three together, it wasn’t bad. But really, it’s not anything I have to have from here. I could made rice, beans and coleslaw exactly like this at home. The only thing that makes it unique is the sauces. The sauces are great. Did I mention that? This last time I tried the flan– it wasn’t bad, but probably not something I’d order again. It was a generous portion, it wasn’t overly sweet… but it was very delicate and bordering on tasteless… If I could do a perfect mash-up, I would get chicken from here, and sides from Golden Beak(on Rte 40). This comes in second on my list of top Peruvian chicken places in Frederick.

I was in a bit of a hurry and did not really was a fast food burger. This little gem was right next door to where I was and I thought I would give it a try. I came in and was pleasantly great by the young woman at the register who took my order. I had the beans and rice, coleslaw and a chicken breast. I had my order in no time at all. I noticed that the kitchen, which you can see when you order and the seating area appeared very clean. I have to say, the food was great! The chicken was tender and juicy, the slaw was one on my favorites. I will be back again!

I use to go to the crisp and juicy off Rockville Pike after tennis in HS. This place is just as good. The chicken is so juicy and delicious, you have to try the Orange hot sauce it brings out the flavor in the already scrumptious chicken. Crisp and juicy Peruvian chicken is the best better than Sardis.

Ok so I wrote a review/complaint to this crisp and juicy restaurants facebook, and what do they do? Report my post as ‘nudity’ and delete my comment instead of fixing any problems! I love and support local businesses. So I don’t know about this one. Let me first start off by saying how excited I was to try Crisp and Juicy. I’ve been driving by daily to see any ‘now open’ signs. Since my daily Peruvian chicken restaurant is a bit ways. I was happy to see that this one was a bit more closer than the other restaurant. The restaurant it self is pretty nice. The music is a good upbeat. ANYWAYS. On to explaining how their food quality is… Like I explained in my facebook post to them before they reported it as nudity and deleted it, their chicken was juicy yeah, but it was not any spark towards it. The fries are common to any fast food fries but a bit more on the dry side, and the rice is likely from a uncle bens rice box… The sauce they offer with the chicken is pretty much the only good thing that I enjoyed with my meal. I thought to leave it at that and just stick with my other Peruvian chicken restaurant up the street. But that’s not all… My mother thought to try this place out and wanted company. So I thought, eh. Why not try them again and just maybe I’d like the food the second time. That was not the case. We arrived at exactly 7:40pm to see the chairs up on the table. I was a bit confused and told my mom that maybe they were cleaning because the hours on the door listed that they were open until 9pm. As we walked in, there were two employees standing in the front. Both stood there looking at us and told us we couldn’t eat there because they were closing in a minute. We turned around and didn’t see any closing early signs on the door. Didn’t get any explanation. We felt really unwelcome and so we just left. My fact is that we made this trip for nothing yet to get pushed out of the restaurant. I wrote a comment to them on their Facebook thinking it was normal, but in their eyes, it was nudity! Not one apology, or a explanation. I could maybe of brought my business back here and try out the other items. But after the shameful actions they did, I think not. :/

This place is so new, you can still smell the paint. Charbroiled chicken is the speciality but they also have sandwiches available. There are Coke products available, either fountain or can. Crisp & Juicy also offers aloe vera drinks, along with Inca Kola. Sides range from rice and beans to potato salad to fried yuca. The stand outs here are the sauces, with hot, mild(called medium on the menu) and chimichurri available. The sauce is good on everything. Think of it as a Latino yum yum sauce. I’m excited to try more of the menu offerings on my next visit.
