"Diehards may debate which of the D.C. area’s Peruvian chicken restaurant reigns supreme, but it's hard to deny that this standby has the most loyal following. Tennis great Serena Williams famously swung by for a poultry fix last summer. Look for the plume of charcoal smoke overhead in Arlington or Wheaton, Maryland. Open daily for carryout from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
