“The Peruvian Brothers serve authentic
“Comida Criolla”, the tastiest part of their Peruvian heritage rooted in Andean, Spanish, African and Asian influences.
The flavors that dominated their childhood in Lima are the tastes they craved most after moving to the United States.
Sandwiches like Pan con Chicharrón, an addictive combination of salted pork loin and sweet potato pair nicely with fresh sides and salads packed with Superfoods from Peru.
Recipes passed down in the Lanzone family as well as Chef Mario’s own original spins on traditional Peruvian favorites give the menu an authentic taste with a unique, healthy twist.
After twelve years of operation, the Peruvian Brothers have expanded from one original food truck to four food trucks, restaurants, concession stands at stadiums, theatres, zoos, farmer’s markets and a large scale catering company serving the entire District of Columbia metro area including Maryland and Virginia.”
Thanks to Vera and Erich for sending the latest on their expansion:
“Peruvian Brothers opening soon. Opening soon at 660 N Capitol on the corner of G St. This first floor space has been vacant since the building first opened over 8 years ago.”
More about the Peruvian Brothers:
“As a two-time Olympic rower for Team USA, Giuseppe Lanzone is the driving force on the business side to match his brother, Mario’s prowess in the kitchen.
The brothers were born and raised off the coast of Lima, Perú, in a close-knit community of “La Punta” where family and the ocean reigned. The only time they didn’t spend in the ocean was spent feasting on fresh fruits, vegetables and meats prepared by loving hands.
When developing Peruvian Brothers, Giuseppe and Mario wanted to give Washington D.C. not only delicious Peruvian ingredients and flavors, but also a piece of their unique heritage.”
