“Peruvian Brothers, the Washington, D.C.-based fast-casual concept founded by brothers Giuseppe and Mario Lanzone, is set to open its third

The new restaurant, opening to the public on Monday, April 20, marks a significant milestone for the immigrant-founded brand and its continued growth across the DMV region. Opening day will feature a full day of programming celebrating Peruvian culture, free alfajores, and complimentary bottles of the popular Peruvian Brothers Rocoto Hot Sauce for the first 100 customers.

“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.”
