    Pollo Tropical with Cilantro Rice
    Lucia G.

    The food was amazing. I had never had Peruvian food and the standards are now high. The chicken was tender, juicy and well seasoned. The cilantro rice was soooo good. Everything was great and service was friendly and fast. The restaurant is clean and music isn't too loud. I had a pleasant time. Will be coming back if I ever visit Madison again.

    Absolutely underrated. If you want a spot that just takes you back to a time you were in college, skipping through streets looking for your past midnight Taco Bell, Estacion Inka hits exactly that spot. The food and the vibes tickle a funny part of the brain and fill that exact craving of an experience. Can't go wrong with any plate here for authentic Peruvian food!!

    Yummy! A delicious spot near the UW campus. Super flavorful and love the sauces. Great for anyone with a taste for something savory. Service is fast and it's always clean.

    I wasn't sure all the positive reviews were real, but after having one of the best meals I've had in Madison, I can say the reviews are true! I had the tropical pollo with rice, beans and sweet plantains. All delicious! It may have been my first visit there but it won't be my last

    Amazing food. Such a treat while staying at Fluno Center across the street. Very impressed with speed of service and quality of food. The tastes are so unique unlike Mexican.

    Food: 4/5 Location: 3.5/5 This is a nice peruvian style chicken spot close to Madison campus. Their menu has a lot of different options that will a college student's budget starting at just under $10 for a quarter chicken leg with a side. We like everything that was served from the chicken, yuca, cilantro rice, to fries. The only reason for a lower rating is because I think the portion size could have been more compared to other similar restaurants I've tried. Also while great for a college student traveling on foot, parking can be very difficult especially on game day.

    Arroz con Cerdo

    Fresh Peruvian food! The Arroz con cerdo was moist with crispy caramelized salted skin. The cilantro rice and peas were a good pairing with the black beans. The fried plantains tasted sweet.

    Estacion Inka is a place that I find myself going to at least once every two months. My favorite thing to order is the arroz con cerdo, which comes with rice, fried pork, salsa criolla, black beans, and sweet plantains. The flavors of the beans, salsa, and pork go very well together, and they're even better with the yellow and green sauces that they provide. This restaurant is more hands-off, as the customers grab their own utensils, their own water; and order at the register up front. However, the employees are very helpful and nice when ordering and the food comes out pretty quickly. The decorations of the restaurant are all related to Peru, which is a nice touch! Definitely one of my favorite lowkey spots in Madison.

    Quick service, nice staff, not too crowded, relatively cheap food for a very generous serving, great tasting food. Each item on my plate had a bit of a different flavor so that they didn't all taste the same, yet they managed to blend together perfectly! Honestly I think my favorite part was the black beans lol. Strongly strongly recommend to all! I can't imagine you can find better food in Madison for a lower cost and comparable portions.

    Estacion Inka is one of my favorite take out restaurants. Their online ordering process is very easy and fast, and there's usually a discount code to get 10-15% off. The pollo tropical is my favorite order! I absolutely am obsessed with the plantains and always get an extra side. We tried the Yucca Frites this time too and really liked them. I highly recommend swapping out normal rice for cilantro rice. Also, always ask for extra sauce because you'll want it. The Brassa sandwich was also a new pick for us, the chicken was super juicy and I loved the shoestring potatoes inside. Their location is a little hard for pickup, if you're driving. You can put your flashers on outside, but keep in mind that area is also a bus stop. I would recommend trying to park at the Frances St garage because usually less than 10 minutes is free. Or park on Gilman and walk.

    Estacion Inka has become one of my comfort meals on campus. The sauces are just soooo flavor filled and the portion is HUGE! I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone living in the Madison area or even just visiting.

    Veggie Platter
    N J.

    The food was fantastic! I ordered the veggie platter and I completely cleaned the plate (but I shouldn't have because I was overly stuffed). The black beans were filled with so much flavor and the cilantro rice was the tastiest plain rice I've ever had. The sweet plantains were yummy as expected. I would definitely eat here again. The location is great and in walking distance from many places. Inside is fairly large with seating available. The ambiance on a Monday evening was chill and idea group was able to chat and relax. Service - you order at the counter and they bring the food right out to you. There is a self service station with cups, water, silverware, and sauces.

    1/4 (chicken) Pollo a la Brasa with yuca fritas (fried) and hot green salsa, Cuarto de Pollo

    The food had amazing flavor, and a variety of salsas/sauces with different spice levels. Service was good, with a self serve station to drinks and utensils. Napkins are provided on the table and self clean up.

I had my first visit during Madison's Restaurant Week and everything was so delicious. The service was wonderful. The entree was a medium petite filet with a shrimp. The combinations on the plate went together so well! I loved the location and will definitely def go back for a happy hour or date night!

    Wow, I had no idea this place existed until a friend mentioned it. Madison is such a great place…read morefor a rooftop experience given that our buildings are generally lower than the Capitol and it is a lovely focal point. Alas, we have so few, and I'm so excited this concept opened! I came on a fall/winter evening, but definitely would love to come back in sunny outdoor weather. On the top floor of the Moxy hotel, Atico serves up a really lovely array of Mexican and Mexican-themed foods. They've got some really elevated entree options, but also have a host of street tacos. While their menu is a bit pricey (some were actually outrageous), the happy hour specials they had listed on the table were a great deal -- definitely would love to come back here for happy hour. I ordered 2 al pastor street tacos and a carne asada street taco. They're nicely sized and are decently full with meat. Onion and cilantro tops them off just like a street taco should be. I thought they were pretty tasty. I didn't love that the pineapple in the al pastor was chopped on top and was served cold (the pineapple, not the meat), but I still ate every ounce of both my tacos, so take my complaint with a grain of salt. My margarita was also good, I appreciated that they were willing to make it "up" instead of "on the rocks." Our server was very accommodating and able to answer questions. Overall, I don't know that the food is worth the price, but it would definitely be worth it on a rare occasion to enjoy the rooftop ambiance. The happy hour also solves for this conundrum. So, I'd certainly like to be back to Atico.

I came for lunch with a friend and the experience was good! I can see why it is considered a staple. The space itself is large. Bigger than you would expect and has a decent amount of seating and very cute decor. It felt Disney esc and like they were trying to get you to have some interaction and immersion. The service was top notch. Our server was very attentive, informative, and friendly. She did forget to give us the lunch specials menu, but quickly got it when we asked, which PROTIP, there is a lunch special but it's not on the main menu at all. Now, lets talk about the food. We ordered the following - - Beef Empanada: Small, but mighty. Packed full of shredded beef and fried to the top degree, almost edging on too crispy, but realistically can there be too much? Like I said, it was small for $3.75, but was piping hot and I loved the cilantro dip that came with it. -Arroz Con Pollo : Super Flavorful rice that is piping hot when it comes out. I'm not a fan of plantains usually but these were fantastic and went well with the meal. The lunch doesn't come with Fries or a drink, but the amount of rice you get is enough to fill you up -Pechuga al Limon: Fried chicken with a buttery lemony sauce on top. This was a massive dish that also came with fries and salad. -Hazelnut Latte: Not too much hazelnut, lots of milk Overall, I'd probably give them closer to a 3.5, but rounded up as the food was good and the experience was solid. If I'm on the east side I would consider meeting up with a friend there, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
