CRISP & JUICY
A secret recipe sauce made from Rocoto peppers and whole chickens covered in special spices
roasted over an open charcoal flame, make this small Peruvian chain a huge hit.
The chain was launched in 1989 by Jorge and Carmen Perez. The entrepreneurial couple decided
to bring the delicious Latin American taste of their Peruvian chicken to the Metropolitan area in
Washington D.C. That first Crisp & Juicy opened in Arlington, Va. Today, there are Crisp & Juicy
restaurants in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C.
Considered a quick-service restaurant (NOT fast food), Crisp and Juicy offers authentic Peruvian
fare that features rotisserie chicken al carbon, a traditional dish that originated in Lima, Peru
in the 1950s. The distinctive aroma wafts from the kitchen, enticing passers-by to stop and
experience the unique flavors of Peruvian cuisine. The consistency that they maintain is said to
only be attainable using this traditional method, which makes the restaurant concept a unique
and delicious experience. Add a side of fried plantain, sweet potato fries or yucca, and you have
a meal made in...well...Peru!
