Barra Brava Cevicheria Urbana
I had a delightful dining experience at "Barra Brava," a Peruvian restaurant located in Rockville, MD. Let me share the details of my visit.
First, let's talk about the location. The restaurant offers limited free parking in a nearby lot, which is convenient, though it can fill up quickly. I visited during lunchtime, and to my pleasant surprise, there was no waiting time.
For lunch, I ordered the "menu ejecutivo," which featured Pollo al Horno with rice and "ensalada rusa." The Pollo al Horno was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. While the ensalada rusa was good, I felt it could have been even better.
The meal came with a refreshing maracuyá drink and "leche de Tigre," which was absolutely on point and added a delightful touch to the dining experience.
We also decided to try the "pulpo a la parrilla," and it exceeded our expectations – a solid 10 out of 10! It was incredibly good.
One highlight for me was their offering of Inka Kola, the iconic Peruvian soda, in a glass bottle. It's definitely a step above the plastic bottle or can.
"Barra Brava" also stocks a variety of Peruvian products, from candies and sweets to cooking ingredients and even Peruvian beer, not to mention a selection of items from other South American countries.
While the seating inside is a bit tight and not the most comfortable, they do have outdoor seating if the weather permits, which is a great option.
The staff at "Barra Brava" is incredibly friendly, helpful, and always wearing smiles. The restaurant itself is clean, including the bathroom.
In summary, it was a fantastic dining experience, and "Barra Brava" stands out as one of the best options for Peruvian cuisine in the DC area. I'm looking forward to returning and will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. 🍽️🇵🇪👍

Went for a fun Thursday night, they played a lot of great songs. Modern and old reggaeton from the early 2000’s, as well as bachata, some salsa and merengue. it’s a Spanish night on Thursday’s. Very cute waitresses and excellent service. The bar area is very crowded and takes time to get drinks from the bar but most DC and Arlington bars are like that anyways. We didn’t eat so I’m not sure about the food. Had a great time overall 🙌🏼
