Reviews for Raices Peruvian Cuisine in Manassas, VA
I called in an order for a whole chicken with 2 sides. Actually, originally I asked if they had a whole chicken special that... came with drinks because I ate there recently and remember seeing a whole chicken special that I thought came with 2-3 sides andsome drinks, but the person who took my order said no. I ended up just ordering a whole chicken that comes with two largesides. My wife went to go pick up the food order under my name and called me because there was some confusion. I told her whatI ordered to confirm with her and she said that the person there was saying it was two half chickens. Now obviously that makes awhole chicken, yes, but they get charged differently. I told her to get a couple canned sodas too but even then the ordershould've been less than what I was actually charged. I found out the day after that instead of charging me for the wholechicken price, they charged for two orders of half chickens which is more expensive. I was told the total was $24 over the phoneand like I mentioned we added two soft drinks but even then should've been under $30. We were ultimately charged ~$34. As I'mwriting this review too I'm noticing inconsistencies in their pricing. For example their online menu shows a whole chicken with2 large sides for $22, but then the Spanish menu shows a whole chicken with 3 large sides and 4 canned drinks for $26 (that'sthe one I wanted)! Lastly, per customer photos of the actual physical menu in their restaurant, it shows the same special as theone in their online Spanish menu. That's the one I saw when I had eaten there in person a couple weeks prior which is why Iasked the person who took my order like two or three times about it... Anyway simply put, I find it annoying when I ordersomething I asked for, get something else, then get overcharged. I was hopeful for this place because it's close to home butthere are many other great Peruvian chicken spots in Manassas to choose from. Read more
So good, I had to come back a second day in a row when traveling for work. Chicken is incredible?tender and flavorful. Plantains... are great, though the mixed veggies were not impressive. Service is quick and friendly as well, and the prices are good. Read more
Delicious, moist, flavorful chicken. Fried yucca was a 15/10 in my books. Kind workers, delicious food! Would recommend.
THIEVES! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! My boyfriend ordered 4 chickens and a couple of side from this location for a get... together we were having. We ordered ahead of time for pick up later that day. When he placed the order he was told he had to payin advance, so he did. I went to pick up the chicken closer to the time of the party and was charged again. I paid, notrealizing he had already paid. After the party we realized we both had paid for the chicken. We went back to the restaurant acouple day later as it was a holiday weekend (4th of July weekend). We explained what happened to the cashier, who remembertaking my boyfriend's order and remembered charging him. He went through the past transactions and was able to pull up mypayment and stated he couldn't find my boyfriend's, even though he remembered charging him. He let us know he wasn't allowed todo a refund and would call his boss. He talked to his boss and explained the situation, but never put him on the phone with us.He instead said that sometimes the charge will show up twice and the second one will eventually go away. We explained thatwasn't the case because we used two different cards and we both had the charge on our individual cards. He let us know the ownerwould call us back, so I left my name and number. I've yet to receive a call back! I've calling again and my boyfriend has goneback. The owner clearly has no intention of returning the extra $92.40 we were charged or even the decency of calling!

One of my top five restaurant destinations anywhere in the country. The atmosphere is fine but the the the real draw is the food... (which is AMAZING). The staff has also always been very nice. Read more

My family and I have been coming here for a few years now. Hands down the best chicken and Carne asada you will ever have. Mouth... watering flavors and a great atmosphere. If you haven't been by you def should. (Excuse the chicken picture...I couldn't helpmyself before I remembered to take one????) Read more
Very disappointed with my meal today. Was here three years ago and was excited to be back in the area and get Peruvian chicken.... The whole chicken I got was extremely dry and the skin very hard and thick. It almost appeared as it was yesterday?s chicken putback on the rotisserie or left on the rotisserie way to long. I will not be back. Read more
