Food was Amazing. Truly authentic peruvian food at its best. I had the Lomo Saltado and ceviche. I cant wait to try the Seco next time, it looked deliscious! The service was excellent. We were a big party and our server Ronnie was so patient and attentive and took such good care of all of us! The restaurant itself is so beautiful. I cant wait to go back!

We had a really nice dinner at La Canela on Friday night. We started off with the octopus, which was good but not great. However, our main entrees of lomo saltado and arroz con pato were exceptional. The arroz con pato was extremely flavorful and the portion was a great size. The lomo saltado was delicious as well. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the service was top notch. We look forward to going there again.

I went to La Canela in April of this year and the pollo saltado was so good I haven’t stopped thinking about it since (6 months later!). The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and delicious, and the rice was soft and fluffy. I have tried pollo saltado at other Peruvian restaurants and it just doesn’t compare. This place is a MUST try! I can’t wait to go back

This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. I highly recommend trying their Arroz marsicos— it’s a must! I’ll definitely be coming back.”

Very happy we tried this restaurant. Everything from the ambiance, to the service, to the food was great. We are always looking for places that have ceviche on the menu and having a few options to choose from was a bonus. There was attention to detail with both the service and food presentation. While it was a bit on the pricey side, we did have plenty of leftovers for second meals at home. I would happily return to try more items from their menu.

Omg how do I start.
Service 10/10 the waitress is very kind…I wanted to try their fried fish but it wasn’t avaible so he recommended this rice with seafood ❤️ amazing…the fried pork was so tender and juicy couldn’t take a photo cause we ate it in seconds. The chef knows what he’s doing and the place was clean and gorgeous. I love it and definitely coming back soon!

Found a hidden gem in Rockville!

Not being very familiar with the menu, we tried a few different items: Tallarines a la Huancaina (beef with cheese pasta) for the kids, Pulpito (octopus), and Arroz con Pato (duck with rice). Before our main courses arrived, we were served a complimentary appetizer that was absolutely amazing — so good that we nearly licked the little dish it came in! It really elevated our expectations for the meal to come.

The kids, who usually only ask for mac and cheese at restaurants, loved the pasta. The beef and sautéed onions — which they would normally refuse — were a hit, and the portion was generous enough for both kids to share (with some leftovers for me too!). The octopus was incredibly tender and flavorful — honestly one of the best I’ve had anywhere. And the duck was just as delicious.

We left feeling proud of ourselves for discovering and trying this wonderful place. And I can’t forget to mention the service — so kind and friendly that “service” doesn’t even feel like the right word. It felt more like being welcomed into someone’s home. Even when we were walking in, we were warmly greeted right away, which was such a pleasant surprise and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.
