El Rancho Peruvian Chicken, at 3610 Columbia Pike, appears to have closed.
A neighboring business owner told ARLnow.com that the restaurant closed a couple of weeks ago and has not reopened since. Inside the eatery around noon yesterday, the doors were locked and chairs placed on top of the tables.
No explanation was given for the restaurant’s closure and no signs announcing the closure were posted on the windows at the time of ARLnow.com’s visit.
El Rancho has had its share of problems over the years — there were at least two notable fires there since 2012.
