Nice surprise!! Great food. Menu allows for the choice of both familiar and unfamiliar food items. Great value. Good portions. Just happened to be staying at the Hilton Garden close by and walked here. Would definitely return if staying in the area.

Three friends and I came in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch; unfortunately the buffet had already been closed out, so we ordered a la carte from the menu. Overall the food was delicious and filling except for 1 dish (Seafood mixed rice), which I would avoid.
Food:
- Lomo Saltado. A peruvian classic that is a MUST TRY at Quechua's. It's beef, fries, onions and peppers with white rice. The beef was well seasoned and the green aji verde sauce is your best friend if you're looking for an extra kick.
- Carne a la pobre. I had never heard of this dish until a friend ordered it; it's a gigantic steak, eggs, with fries and rice; essentially a deconstructed hamburger. The steak was also well marinated along with not too chewy/ cooked.
- Seafood mixed fried rice. This is the reason why I can't give 5 stars. While the rice was tasty, salty, and well seasoned, the seafood was burnt and flavorless. Unfortunately this was also one of the priciest items on the menu. I think if we stuck to shrimp this would have been a much better experience; however, I wouldn't order this nor recommend it.
Service:
- Very kind service, our waitstaff asked us several times for our orders/extra water and helped us figure out the Yelp check-in offer. They weren't busy at all during this time, and so it might be a different story during peak lunch / dinner times!
Parking:
- Ample parking in the lot, just be careful since the entrance is on a different side than what appears on their original sign. I believe they recently moved. -

Great options, BIG portions!
My family was visiting my sister and I from Myrtle Beach, SC and my sister planned a day in Hershey/Harrisburg. My mom is from Peru so naturally we wanted to have a Peruvian lunch. This location is right off of the highway so it was pretty easy going from Hershey to Harrisburg and back down to York.
The restaurant is pretty large, they have plenty of parking and there is even a stage inside. I wish we were there when they were playing music or had entertainment, but you might want to check their website in you are going there to celebrate something special.
The menu is pretty vast offering Peruvian chicken, lomo saltado, ceviche, and other dishes. I ordered the tacu tacu con mariscos, which was a plate with fried beans and rice with a orange sauce and seafood. It was delicious. The portion was huge so I was able to take home leftovers.
My mom ordered the ceviche and my stepdad ordered the lomo which were both really good as well. My little brother ordered the chicken tenders which he finished, so those who have picky children this might be a good location since the kids meal had safe bets.
All in all, if you are craving Peruvian food or wood like to try some, I recommend this location! -

Stopped in to check out their new location (next door to their old location) and it was spacious. They have TV mounted around the main dining area and had dark tables and walls.
The food was delicious!! This was my first time dining at Quechua's. I had Peruvian chicken in VA before but having it so close to home is a plus!
I ordered the 1/2 chicken which comes with fries and a salad. The salad was a small bowl with romaine and ice berg lettuce, a few cucumbers, sliced tomatoes and shredded carrots. They had 3 dressings: Italian, Ranch and House. The house tasted like a thinned honey mustard. It was okay but nothing to rave about.
The chicken came out and it smelled delicious! It was moist and tender and very flavorful. If you're a fan of rotisserie chicken then you'll enjoy this! They also offer a green sauce. It was DELICIOUS! I was fighting the urge to take the whole bottle. The green sauce had a light slow kick but you also get a taste of cilantro and lime.
My friend ordered the pollo saltado and I tried a piece of chicken and it was also very flavorful. I will try this next time.
All in all, a great experience! A bonus is that I had a coupon for a B1G1 free entree. What a great deal!! -

Quechua's a great addition to the ethnic food places opening in Harrisburg, PA. We are still not in same league as Lancaster, PA, but we have more options than we had 10 years ago.
We made a reservation for 6pm on a weekday, but didn't need it when we reached there. Two tables were occupied and we were told to select the table we wanted. Next time I'll select a table away from the TV (which was playing very loud). While we were there, many other tables got filled. But there were more take-outs than dine-in. Lots of people came in to pick up large orders. Most of them had called ahead, because they were there was a minimum time.
There was only 1 server, but she took good care of everyone. She asked if this was our first visit and then gave suggestions on popular items. After we placed our orders, she brought out fried corn for the table. Very different, but good to munch on while waiting for the order to come out. The wait wasn't long, but it also didn't feel like microwaved frozen food like short. Food portions are huge. You will definitely take home leftovers.
We started with Causa De Pollo and Yuca A La Huancaina. Both were good, but Causa De Pollo was my favorite. We liked the yellow pepper dip which accompanied Yuca fries. We asked for Rotisserie Chicken and were told that it won't be ready before 7pm. Apparently it takes a long time to cook. That was disappointing. They should plan for it to be ready earlier. For main dish we ordered Pollo Saltado (Saute Chicken with onion, tomatoes and French fries. We also ordered Arroz Con Mariscos, which is a seafood with rice dish. I was told it was very similar to Spanish Paella. Everything was tasting good and had been cooked in less oil. None of the dishes were spicy. They can make it spicy if asked. We ordered a dessert too (but didn't get the name). It's consistency was similar to rice pudding, but tasted very different. It had rice, milk, raisins and honey.
I'll visit again.
