    Pollo Saltado
    Ashley U.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    If you haven't been to Estacion Inca yet, I have one question for you - what are you waiting for? The Peruvian restaurant serves some of the highest quality and flavorful food in Madison. The chicken is mouthwatering and you can't go wrong with any of the available sides or juices. Visit this spot soon and enjoy one of the best meals you'll have in town!

    Lomo saltado with cilantro rice
    Sho R.

    I took out dinner from here on a weekday. The place had a good number of seats and a good number of people dining in. Cilantro rice was simply the best. Always take the cilantro rice. It's a very flavorful rice. I went for lomo saltado. It comes with normal rice, but got replaced with cilantro rice. That was excellent. Arroz con pollo was my other item. It was good as well.

    We are taking a tour of the world with trying new little places. This is the top of our list! I had the chicken with cilantro rice. My husband bought an Inka Kola that tasted like creme soda. Delicious! The staff was super helpful explaining the menu to us. Great stop!

Upon entering, the first thing that hits: chickens on the rotisserie, and honestly, I haven't seen that since Boston Market a decade ago. I ordered at the counter, and a few minutes later the worker came by offering my dining partner and me chicken soup as a little extra gesture--hot, delicious, and very welcome. I had cilantro rice and black beans alongside my chicken, all perfectly done. The flavors here are solid and a great introduction for me to Peruvian cuisine. Why not five stars? The vibe is minimal and casual--gas station setting and all--so it's more functional than cozy or lively. Still, the food is excellent, and I'll absolutely be back for more.

The beef was SO tender, and the fries help soak up the soy based sauce. I also loved the aji verde that comes with the fries - so fresh made with jalapeños, cilantro, and mayo! The portion was honestly huge!! I also got the ceviche, which came with hugeee chunks of fresh fish! There was also big pieces of Incan corn and fried corn!

The food took quite a while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. The empanadas were perfectly flavorful and crunchy on the outside. The chorizo had a stronger taste than the beef empanada, but the beef was wonderfully juicy and tender. Would definitely recommend getting them as an appetizer! We were warned that the seafood paella would be spicy, but when we tried it, it wasn't spicy at all! It was pretty yummy anyways, so I'd say it was a very salty dish rather than spicy or hot. The rotisserie chicken was very yummy. It came with two sides and we chose sweet plantains and the fritas. The sweet plantains were soooo good, they reminded me of turons except sliced. Only complaint was that it felt like we had five different servers, which made it hard to get consistent attention or feel any personal connection to the service, especially with our table tucked away in the corner, leading to slow and scattered service. Overall, we had a delicious meal here and will definitely be returning for more. Thanks!

When I was debating what sweet empanadas to take back home, I saw that they not only had sweet empanadas, but they had vegan and gluten-free black forest cake. I did not have the space to eat it, but I sure did bring it home. The black forest cake did not disappoint. It was delicious. The server was super kind and attentive. The gratuity is also included in your total which the server mentioned. He was also very proactive in asking if there were any allergies. I wish more servers and restaurants did that. How I have not been to this location until now is unbelievable to me. I could eat here every day. We will be back!

Venezuelan food is kind of hard…read moreto find all across the USA, so I was blown away to find a place in this town that doesn't just do Venezuelan food -- it does Venezuelan food right. The owner is one of the nicest people you will meet and you can see the sheer passion just oozing from him. He makes you feel like a guest in his own home and he is so obviously proud of the food he serves. That pride is well deserved -- this is some of the best Venezuelan food I've ever had, anywhere in the world. The pabéllon and the reina pepeada are especially worthy of mention, with the pabéllon in specific being one of the best things I've ever eaten. The yuca frita is delightful -- fried to perfection, with a delicious chimmichuri-esque drizzle. The kids arepa is hilarious and hilariously good -- a ham and cheese delight tuned for the very German influenced palate around here. My kids and I hope to sample every last item on the menu. My only worry is that this is not a style of food that generally gets a lot of attention in this town -- this place is always rather empty whenever I come. I would love to see lines out the door, because that's what this place deserves, and that's how good the food is here. The fate of many ethnic restaurants in this area seems to be to go under -- and oftentimes that's not commentary on the quality of the food. The palate of the general population in this area tends to be less adventurous, and that puts restaurants like this at a disadvantage. That is to say: please come experience this place. Please come eat here. Please help make sure that this place sticks around.

    Truly a must-go in Rockford for anyone wanting to break away from the reruns of meat and potatoes…read moreof typical Midwestern cuisine. Honestly, this spot seems out of place in Rockford and seems like something you would find in a bigger city. The decor is colorful and bright, the drink selection is very impressive and creative and the menu is broad yet impeccably put together. I've been here a few times and had some excellent meals, though I'd like to mention the recent restaurant week menu. I brought my fiancé and parents here for a weekend dinner and they were a little skeptical about the empty restaurant. For the weekend, there were a lot of people waking right past, but perhaps the sub-zero temperatures were keeping their eyes focused on getting to their cars only. We were greeted warmly by the server/hostess/bartender (she wore many hats that night!) and ushered to a tablescape that seemed almost too nice to be in the Forest City. We ordered drinks per our server's recommendations and were not disappointed. Full of tropical fruits, peruvian liquors, and a little kick (not all are spicy, just ones we chose)...they were a delight. All were served in fantastical glassware ranging from a mirrored martini glass, a stemmed glass with dangling chili peppers, and a gorilla head. Yep, you read that correctly. My drink was served in a painted gorilla head with star fruit on top. Absolutely delicious. We ordered an appetizer with mussels, ceviche, and a potato dish, as well as fried cassava. To my delight all the seafood tasted nearly as fresh as a coastal city where the fish is likely just out of the water. Everything was perfectly seasoned and not too chewy. The mains were another home run-- the guys got a VERY hearty pork stew and a beef and potato dish (so even those who still want meat and potatoes can feel at home here!) and the ladies a fish dish with a red sauce and a squid ink orzo with seafood. Nothing left us wanting more, but for me the orzo was a complete surprise. It was a gorgeous presentation with exquisite color and the flavor-- so light and yet so... there is no other word for it... buttery. EVERYONE at the table needed more than a bite. We rounded off dessert with a passion fruit mousse (honestly we were stuffed but felt we had to try something else as everything was so scrumptious) and rolled out of there talking about how shocking it was to have SUCH a high-quality and unique place in downtown Rockford. They got more tables as the night continued, but I'd have loved to see more. I would HATE for the people of Rockford not to have this experience. A few tips, the prices are higher than some of the other places in the area (as is the quality!), so be aware. Also they make everything fresh so plan for the evening to be a bit longer than elsewhere. But I cannot stress enough that no matter your tastes you will be very well cared for here, and have an experience you'll remember. And if you're not sure what to order, ask! The owners and servers are knowledgeable and friendly. They will steer you well! Tl;dr: This place is a foodie experience seemingly transported from a bigger city, and we are lucky to have it here in Rockford! Give them a try!
