So we went in and sat down and the gave us the menu but waited about 10 min and we decided to just order take out they did not come to take our drink order at least it wasn't busy they only had another table beside us and lady was just talking to another lady that work there instead of coming to get our order we ordered the jalea and and think it was picosa marisco something like that a mix of seafood with a sauce it only had chunks of potatoes and hardly any seafood and the jalea was just all fried seafood which was ok but not the best service was awful i don't recommend this read more

Food was great ! My husband even ordered himself 2 plates ! And service was excellent ! Definitely recommend this place !

The flavor of each dishes are pretty good, specially the fried rice. The steak is thin but tasty. Staff is friendly and polite. Just the parking lot is bit small, but you can park across street and walk over. read more

See all

El Pollo Inka - Carson - Lomo Combinado with their signature green sauce 10/10+ - Peruvian Near Me - Carson, California

Great food. I always come here and order to go. Prices are very reasonable for a whole chicken which comes with rice, soup and salad. Much more reasonable than El pollo loco. read more

Very good Peruvian food. Great Lomo Saltado. The green sauce is delicious. I don't know what they put in it but it's sooo good.

I have ordered here twice. I love all the El Polla Inka locations except this location, I have been to a total 4 locations. I always order the Aji De Gallina. The first time the chicken, the very little chicken bits in it tasted burnt and there so much potatoes. The second time very little chicken and potatoes tasted old. My stomach started hurting right after eating it. I'll go to the other locations before coming back to the El Pollo Inka in Carson. read more

Pollo Inka in Carson hooray finally it's open for years. I've been waiting for this place open. Got to it. Awesome. Enjoy it. Great place to visit Pollo Inka right across from Carson mall. I never thought it was going to open but it's open now. It's a good spot and three very very delicious food here so good they have different locations one in Gardena one over by Hawaiian Gardens but this location, is it locations plenty of parking it's not as big as the other locations but it's delicious. The cooking is still the same. Highly recommend it if you haven't been a point anchor it's right off the 405 freeway right by the Carson mall check them out the food is good prices is really reasonable you can dine in or you can take out so it's up to you but believe me you won't regret it there food is super super good check them out we did and we enjoyed our food read more

Finally got a chance to come for lunch. I'm so glad I did. Parking was tight and my driving skills was put to the test but I was able to squeeze in on an open spot. Lilly and her son are so lovely and attentive. My food was ready and hot and man my car smelled so good on the way to the office. We had Tallarin de Pollo (Chicken noodles), Tallarin Saltado (Beef noodles), and anthicuchos (beef heart). How can I forget the aguadito and aji verde. Yum!!! It was so very fresh, hot and delicioso. Generous portions, neither of us were able to finish our plates. I was hoping for CauCau, hopefully soon. We definitely be back again. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

El Pollo Inka - Carson - Tallarin Saltado, Tallarin de Pollo, Anticuchos. - Peruvian Near Me - Carson, California

Parking in a small plaza so it can be hard next to a nail place. Food of course delicious with their lomo saltado and other Peruvian delicacies. Small bit this should thrive since there's not many South American cuisines around here. Service is on top of the food and quick as well. It's good to have something different around these parks... read more

El Pollo Inka - Carson - Peruvian Near Me - Carson, California

Great place to get your Peruvian fix! Extremely casual location and great customer service. Downside ... they serve their food with plastic utensils and plates. It's like an express pollo Inca. If you're looking for a dining experience the other locations are better. My favorite is the one in rolling hills! read more

Very satisfied, the food was extremely delicious, full of flavor. I can't wait to eat there again.

Great food and good service.Like I said no complaints customer service was very nice and friendly

Always great! Food is always good and service is too. Chicken breast is unbelievably moist. Most cases anywhere you go. Chicken breast is always dry, but not here! read more

It was bad experience today when I stop by and ordered a whole chicken all dark meat ,guess what I found when I got home? Four dried legs (look like another customers leftover, two of them half skinless , I should take it back but we're very tired and hungry, not a good one for first time visit. read more

El Pollo Inka - Carson - a piece of meat in a plastic container - Peruvian Near Me - Carson, California

Horrible service super slow.. the place was very dirty nearly closing time.. and to top it off the food was thee worst

First and last time there.... Food was a little salty for me, and then I find a hair , completely lathered in the sauces , will never be back read more

Easy to order for pick up. We love the lomo saltado here. We also get the chicken and fries for our ten year old son. He loves it! The food is so tasty. The Carson location is less busy and quieter. read more

Super fast service even though it was packed. Food was amazing. Served quickly after ordering. Waiters are on it- straws, napkins, extra plates, sauces, everything. They didn't miss a thing. 10/10 read more

Great staff service and menu selections. The Peruvian food was very good as well. I tried the Mariscos combinado.

Fast service good food. Friendly workers. Call I orders made with quality and in good time

I typically love el Pollo Inka! The vibe here is a lil weird. I don't know if it's the lighting or all the black- but the mood is just not it. I was disappointed in my meal. It was so salty I could hardly eat it. I also asked for salsa criolla which never came. At least I didn't get charged for it. I'll try it again, and I'll ask them to hold back on the salt a bit. Hopefully it will be better next time! Hopefully they see this and take the salt content into consideration. read more

When I'm craving Peruvian rotisserie chicken, this is my go to place. The food is simple, freshly made, and affordable.

The owner, an older man named Juan accused me of potentially stealing at this restaurant when I came to pick up an order. As a young man of color, this was very triggering as he asked for my phone to confirm the information that I was giving him before even considering handing me the bag and saying that people like me have come in there and stolen food and they've had various incidents. I explained that I'm not a thief and that those incidents don't have anything to do with me. I'm not trying to steal from anyone but the establishment stuck to this policy of making people out to be criminals and demanded that I give my phone to him. This was extremely demeaning. This was an absolute invasion of privacy as I shouldn't have to give any person my phone to pick up food. I will contact corporate (Daniel Cespedes, Salomon Jaime) regarding this as this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable. read more

Food was good but the servers should really learn to UNDERSTAND more English.. I ordered a HALF chicken and because the server doesn't understand English she charged me for a WHOLE chicken.. it's just my 10 year old son and I .. why would a little child and woman order a WHOLE chicken for lunch? She could have at least used context clues!!! read more

I placed a to go order online. It was ready in no time. The inside is very small. I ordered the half chicken plate. The chicken seemed small. The french fries were not fully cooked and soggy. The salad was salad. The side soup didn't have much flavor but you can add the green salsa to it. The only good thing is the green salsa and the dinner rolls, which weren't even fresh but they still taste so good. read more

The food was very good food. The service was excellent. It was a great pit stop between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Food is delicious but a bit pricey. Restaurant could use a little bit of an update. Favorite dish was the lomo saltado.

Excelente comida... aprovechando precios de especiales diarios... lugar acogedor con muy buen servicio... Vale la pena regresar y recomendar. read more

NAH, pollo imperial in North Long Beach is the top dawg...its close enough to this place to just keep going. There isnt anything bad a bout the joint, but the food wasnt that good. The green soup had way too much garlic. I though perhaps there was a little chunk of chicken in there, so i scooped it up and bit it...YUK...it was a garlic clove. I got a 1/4 chicken. The chicken was bland. I drank maracuya, which was good, so theres that. The people inside are nice enough, but dude, pollo imperial has been the top dog for years, and nobody wants to claim the title. read more

Been waiting for this location to open up for a while, glad it did, because it's closer to home / work commute. Ordered a Lomo to go the other day, service was great & environment was clean and welcoming. If I could just give some constructive feedback back on the Lomo, it was a little too salty/ seasoned. Still devoured it, nonetheless, I will be back again. read more

I definitely will give this place 5 stars idk I had other possibilities 5 restaurants and so far this place takes the win ! Idk if it's because the price and quantity for food and quality as well. Their prices are very reasonable! I always get the same thing which is the pollo Saltado and it comes with a coup of their soup and a piece of bread for this I pay $15 and the portions are very Generous. I always eat the entire coup of soul because it doesn't taste the same the next day and I eat half of the pollo. The location in Gardena which is the one I go to is pretty big and I love the decor in there and I heard that on Fridays or Thursdays they have live music playing. I wouldn't know I usually go during lunch time and if I pick up dinner it's in and out I don't eat there. I definitely will be coming back as this is my favorite Peruvian place. read more

Es mo tercera vez comiendo en esta localidad Maria me a ofrecido un EXELENTE servicio super atenta y amigable .... 100 de 100 pendiente de todas las necesidades!!! read more

The experience on this business is great, food is delicious. Not sure who's fault this is but I never got the confirmation from yelp that the restaurant received my order and when I called they said my food had been ready for the past five min. read more

I always judge a Peruvian place based on their ají verde and this is definitely the most flavorful ají verde sauce you can find anywhere! Perfect combination with their chaufa. Hands down my new go to spot! read more

Not swankiest location but by far the service is much better than the one in Gardena. Food is good. Got the Limo Saltado. 4 stars out of 5. Should asked for extra scoop of rice. Good portions. Great taste. Green sauce is ok. I like mine with a bit more kick. Definitely adding this place to my everyday short list. read more

I've never tasted Peruvian food before but found myself in Carson and thought "why not"? and so glad I went to El Pollo Inka! The food was absolutely outstanding as was the service and the location itself (the plates are regular plates...the silverware is the usual thing - nothing disposable as of today). My son had the Lomo Saltado and I had something con camarones (a creamy, spicy sauced dish of shrimp and potatoes, served with garlic rice) - both totally delicious! You also get a nice bowl of garlicky chicken and rice soup to start and some fresh rolls. Altogether a very, very good meal and substantial amounts of food. I highly recommend! read more

Good food and service. Tried Chicha Morada for the first time. Ají de Gallina was delicious. I specially like the sauce. Definitely recommend read more

My mom bought the 1/2 chicken meal and paid almost 18 dollars. When she got home she had the 1/4 chicken (very small piece) and the wrong sides. She asked for rice and fries and received beans and a salad. First and last time going to this location. We usually take the drive from Carson to Hawthorne for Peruvian food and we will definitely continue to do so. Best Peruvian food/deals are at Pollo Inka Express. read more

We were very happy that they finally opened. The food quality was much better than the Gardena location.
