What a great experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table, which made us feel welcome right away. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with great music and beautiful décor that adds to the experience (I wish I had remembered to take more pictures!). The food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked to perfection. The meat was incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor, and the green sauce served on the side was so good that I found myself putting it on everything. The jalea was outstanding--it came with a generous amount of shrimp, fish, calamari, and perfectly crispy fried yuca (cassava). Every bite was flavorful, and the seafood tasted fresh. The portions were generous, the service was attentive, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for authentic Peruvian food with amazing flavors, a fun atmosphere, and friendly service, Inca Paisa is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be coming back! read more

Decided to try this place and ordered the chicken combo with rice and bean and mini empanadas. Mini empanadas are good. Chicken was delish and flavorful with rice and beans. They did come with sauce but wish they gave more sauce. Highly recommend to ask for more sauce! All was good and def want to come back and try other dishes! read more

Inca Paisa is a solid spot for Peruvian food with great ambiance and service. We ordered mini chicken empanadas, mixed ceviche, chaufa and rotisserie chicken with lots of green sauce on the side of course. Everything was delicious, we had no complaints. The restaurant can get a little loud if you come during prime lunch/dinner time. I ordered a drink that they ran out of but forgot to take it off the bill, I didn't catch it until after I had paid but the servers were friendly and willing to correct it right away. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot and would come back! IG: _acquired.taste read more

Reservations are a must - walk in wait times are easily over an hour. Inca Paisa is definitely catered more towards a younger crowd - there's a bar, DJ, and live music, but it's LOUD. It was quite difficult to hear our waitress, and it was impossible for us to talk to each other during dinner. The ceviche was probably my favorite dish of the night. We ordered the Ceviche Mixto; it was well seasoned, balanced, and had a good variety of seafood. The other dishes (lomo saltado, super picada, chicken, and jalea peruana) were good, not exceptional. The portions look generous, but a lot of it is buried under a mountain of yuca. Once we saw two more giant speakers brought in, we asked for the check. It was already incredibly loud inside with just ONE. read more

I was walking by and saw a sign outside Inca Paisa advertising a lunch special for $14. It included a choice of protein, soup of the day, salad, rice, and a corn cake. For that price, I figured I'd give it a shot--honestly not expecting too much. But wow, I was pleasantly surprised. The portion was way bigger than I imagined. It came with the beef rib, and they brought out three large pieces that were tender and full of flavor. Along with it came a generous container of soup with corn and potato--the broth was so rich and comforting, I could've had that on its own as a full meal. The plate also came with rice, a fresh little salad, and a piece of cornbread to round it out. All of that for $15 (after tax) felt like such a steal. The food was tasty, filling, and definitely worth it. I honestly didn't expect the quality or the portion size to be this good for a lunch special. I'd definitely come back again for this deal--it feels like you're getting a home-cooked meal at a super fair price. read more

I went for dinner on a Monday. The ambiance was great, it was pretty busy for being a Monday with trending music in the background not very loud enough to have a conversation. We ordered the passion fruit sangria which was tasty, ceviche de cameron as an appetizer and for dinner I had the lomo saltado. The ceviche was amazing and a very nice size portion enough for three people. The lomo saltado was also good, I'm looking forward to going back read more

Anyone else have an issue with this restaurant adding a 25 percent service charge to their check? We were only 2 people and were shocked! We ordered a drink each, shared an app and had a main dish each. I also come from a restaurant family, and we never did this... it is usually a choice of adding 18, 20 or 22 percent based on service. So bizarre! Food was ok but service was very slow. We asked why they did that and they didn't give us a logical answer. My husband payed it and told me, don't ever ask me to come back! read more

This was the first time dinning here with the family. Upon entrance, we noticed how beautiful the ambiance was. The restaurant is very well decorated. There was a DJ there and the music was good. It wasn't too loud and he even adapted and played happy birthday music when they were bringing out cake and singing for patrons celebrating their birthdays. The service was good. And the food was delicious. read more

Happy Birthday to my brother! My sister-in-law recommended Inca Paisa and made a reservation tonight to celebrate with family and friends. The ambiance was perfect for brunch, lunch, and dinner dates. Complimentary Plantain Chips - The plantain chips were crunchy and yummy. The dipping sauce added a spicy kick. Food *sharing is caring* Calamares Fritos - The fried calamari and yuca frita were crispy and tasty. Chicharrón de Cerdo con Arepa Empanadas - The empanadas were delicious, with beef or chicken stuffed inside corn patties. Chicken Special Combo Combo 3 Whole Rotisserie Chicken + Avocado Salad + Peruvian Fried Rice + Hotdog Fries The rotisserie chicken was flavorful and finger-licking goodness.

My experience here was extremely disappointing. One of the dishes, priced at $35, was served with what appeared to be frozen mixed vegetables that looked like something you could buy at a warehouse store. The quality did not match the price. To make matters worse, the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. The waiter later explained that this applies to bills over $120, but nobody informed us of this policy beforehand. It was an unpleasant surprise when we received the check. The most frustrating part of the experience was that the staff threw away the leftovers I intended to take home. When I asked about it, I was told that my husband had instructed them to discard the food. However, my husband was not even present at the time, making the explanation impossible and extremely concerning. Overall, the food, service, and handling of the situation fell far below expectations. I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Made a reservation like I read i should because it was the weekend. My reservation was for 1:00pm, when I came there weren't a lot of people there. The young lady asked me where I would like to sit and I sat under the tree. Service was excellent. The food was great and very large portions. Drinks were also amazing. This place accepts cash and credit card, which is always good for the customers. Choices are always nice. The restaurant is very clean, bathroom very clean. For parking my date had to use an app because the machine was out of order. The only thing I would change is the volume of the music, bring it down a little. In the later afternoon the place got very busy. I do recommend this place. read more

We came in as a party of 12 with reservations. We had to change our time the day before, and luckily, we did not have any issues with that. Day of the staff was nice, attentive (with the owner checking up on us.) The food was good, though the sangria tasted watered. We did have a mistake when a plate that was supposed to be vegan came back with eggs, but it was addressed well. I would recommend it for a big group. read more

Friday night around 9pm, restaurant was packed. Atmosphere was fun with live music and playlist when on break. Just a bit loud, very hard to hear each other. We had the Shrimp Stuffed Avocado which was ok, could use a little salt on the avocado and some more plantain chips. The mini beef empanadas were good. For dinner we had the Bandeja Paisa which was decent, middle of the road compared to other Colombian spots. Grilled Skirt Steak was ok, a thick cut of meat and was over tenderized. Beans were cold and undercooked, when asked them to heat it, came back only slightly warm. The Crispy breaded pork tenderloin was our least favorite, it was overcooked and dry. It was lacking something, needed some kind of sauce, we used the green sauce to make it more palatable. Our waiter was very friendly, although busy, he was attentive. read more

I have visited this restaurant several times since it's the only Colombian/Peruvian restaurant in the area. The place has a very pretty decor and great happy hour from 1-6pm. The service has always been excellent and everyone that works there it's very attentive. I'm a Colombian native so I'm very picky with my Colombian food. The food here it's great but not amazing. read more

Inca Paisa - Pollo al limón - Colombian Near Me - Flushing, New York

I've been here several times and held off on writing a review in case the poor service was just a one-time issue, but unfortunately, it's been consistently bad on every visit. On this most recent trip, the hostess ended up being our server because our actual waitress disappeared. We repeatedly saw her on the other side of the restaurant just chatting and not attending to any tables. The food was fine but nothing memorable, and the ambiance was just okay. What really makes this place a letdown is the service. To top it off, we ordered a lemonade that never arrived, so we asked for a Coke instead, which they did bring. But when it came time to get the check, we waited over 20 minutes because they said they needed to "replace" the lemonade with the Coke. Somehow switching out one item took a full operation. Overall, the consistently poor service is enough for me not to return. read more

My family are Peruvian food fans. We usually do a big group dinner at Pio Pio every once in a while so seeing an option in NE Queens it was something they were into checking out. We had a fantastic waitress in Luisa who helped navigate the menu and adjust our order when I was about to order way too much food - her recommendations were spot on. Jalea - I almost ordered 2 of these based on the size of the dish I am used to Pio Pio serving. This had to be double the size of theirs with a large variety of fish, shrimp, calamari on a bed of yuca. Everything was fresh, but it could have used a hit of lime or citrus that I will ask for next time. Super Picada De Carnes - basically a large platter of steak, chicken, pork topped with tomato and served with chimichurri sauce. This is not something we usually ordered before, but it was a welcome change. The meats are all well done. Incidentally both platters say "for 2" on the menu - You would be hard pressed to see 2 people finish one of these on the own. They are huge. Rotisserie Chicken - The chicken is good and flavorful. Some sections were a little more well done than I would have liked, but all good. I went against Luisa's recommendation and ordered 2 of these and had 1 left over haha. Arroz Chaufa - Peruvian Fried Rice came as part of combo and it was very good. The salchipapa (hot dog and fries combo), avocado salad along with their sauces - white, pink and green were all tasty and added much to all the dishes. The red sangria is better than the passion fruit, but neither are heavy hitters. Not much alcohol in these and they do not have any fruit pieces (note: I saw on IG they add fruit to the glass - perhaps when you order an individual glass?) which is disappointing. These would do better with a some brandy for some kick. Inca Paisa is good for a group where you will get a lot of food for your money. The atmosphere is festive with the friendly helpful staff. Also double check your reservation - although our large group didn't have an issue I don't think they actually had our Yelp Reservation down even after I called the day before to confirm. read more

Good food with good friends! Inca Paisa comes with nodes of Columbian and Peruvian cuisine that blend perfectly together. Upon each table is a bottle of the Inca Paisa wine. I have yet to have this wine because the drinks are so yummy, but it's worth mentioning being that it sets the vibe for when you come here. The vibes are fun and food is GOOD! I came here with five other friends and Thank God I came with this group, because they came to eat! We started with some apps like ceviche and Papa en salsa Huancaina. That potato in the sauce was delish but the ceviche was everything. I could have licked the bowl. Our bread came out with the apps which had me dipping bread in the ceviche lime juice it was that good. The main event was a spectacle as we ordered Arroz con Pollo Colombian Style, Arroz Chaufa with steak (Peruvian style), Jalea Peruana (and insane amount of fried seafood), and a platter with Chicharrón. Each dish was just as delish as the next and we ate until we all felt like we could be rolled out of the restaurant. Like I said this place is a vibe, so much of a vibe that our server was having way to much fun and kept forgetting about us. He was very sweet but it was a little tough grabbing another round of drinks, sauces and other things. This will definitely not stop me from coming back as it's a great neighborhood spot with amazing food! Next time, I will have them crack open that bottle of wine. Cheers! read more

I didn't know this spot opened in Bayside! It's their third outpost in Queens, so exciting. Came here for lunch with my neighborhood buddies and we totally enjoyed the great value of the lunch specials. The portions are very generous and very good if you have the appetite or if you want to share. Empanadas were good, not too oily and we ordered the chicken and beef ones. There was a great lunch special today with soup and entree. The soup bowl alone was just enormous on its own. I had the carne asada which was a little too medium well for my taste so I'll have to remember to tell them medium rare next time. (Not sure if that's a thing) My friends also ordered this fried platter of shrimp, fish, and calamari. Served over yucca fries. It says shareable for two but believe me, the portion was plenty for the four of us. We couldn't finish it. Just to mention, all of the sauces were delicious as well. Like a cilantro Verde and a creamy white sauce, forgive me, I don't know what it was called. My son ordered the crispy pork, steak and rice and beans combo with the fried egg, it was heavenly. And again, so big that it took up half the table! I recommend the desserts if you can get them - flan or tres leches is the favorite. There's a full bar if you want cocktails and beer. And the coffee is good. See you in there! read more

I was so hype to go with my mom to celebrate her birthday. Restaurant is well decorated and clean. They have happy hour until 7 pm. Me and my friends ordered margaritas. They were tasty but u cannot taste any liquor in them, my friend had a few and did not compare to just having one from other places. So probably they are weak because of happy hour price. My mom had red wine, it was ok. They are not so many options to share in the appetizers. I did ordered the causa con pollo because the waitress was kind of rushing the order. the flavor was good and well presented. They have a lot of items in the menu to choose. Been a colombian peruvian fusion I tried a mix ceviche. It look really nice but when it came to taste and how the fish was prepared it really mess up my taste for it. barely had any lemon juice and most of the fish was very chewy and hard. I had ceviches in many places and I have never left half of it in the plate. My mom ordered a chicken cutlet with champions sauce .The taste was good but the chicken was hard because I tried it too. My friend is vegan so she only had 2 menu options . She actually said her rice was not well cooked. The worst part there so many servers but their main objective was gossiping and not attending tables. I had to continuously look for the one assigned to the table. Also my moms birthday not even acknowledge after we had said it at the beginning. Another thing we noticed. No water is served unless u ask. Most of the places I been to,they ask or the just put it on the table. The waitress said that u have to ask for it. As a latin customer I was very disappointed to not have a tasty ceviche. read more

POV - vegan in a nonvegan family. Fun spot with great energy and really solid food--even with very limited (two) vegan options, left happy and full. Got the avocado salad and a vegan Peruvian fried rice. Fresh and flavorful, and the fried rice had the option of adding an egg for the vegetarians. I was hoping for a little more heat, but they kept bringing something creamy and probably not vegan when we requested hot sauce. The vibe here is loud and lively! There were a few birthday celebrations going on while we ate, complete with sparkly candles and loud, joyful singing from the staff--it was fun just to be part of the atmosphere. The decor is colorful and funky, and the overall energy is super welcoming. There's also a bar with a nice selection. I didn't check about vegan drink options, but I imagine there's something for everyone--worth asking next time! Not a go-to vegan destination, but a great place to enjoy good food and good vibes with a mixed group. I'd happily come back (and maybe sneak some hot sauce in.) read more

Food was excellent. Really well made. The service was even better. There are not enough compliments for the people here.

The food is average--decent, but not especially memorable. It leans more toward a polished, chain-style take on Peruvian cuisine. It's also not consistent depending on the day and the staff. Based on my experiences there's a disparity in how different guests are treated at times staff can feel dismissive and inattentive as if you are a burden or 2nd class citizen or something. The place is a nice addition and I want to continue to be a patron but at this point I think I'm ok jamming with pio pio. read more

Well, this visit was disappointing. Been a few times with great service, food and experience. Last nights visit? Was a bit of a letdown. First off the service was pretty slow and forgetful, one of our entrees came out completely cold. Beverages took awhile. Lastly, there was automatically gratuity was added for the first time we've ever had it added? Not quite sure why? Nothing on the website or menu says anything about it, even after a certain time. I'm in the industry so always tip a minimum of 20% even for shoddy service. All in all, I'm just assuming it was an off night considering we come here frequently. Still baffled about the autograt on a party of 2 tho. read more

You need reservation on weekends, made reservation for six Saturday nite. The place is small, has a Bar and a DJ, we got table near the DJ, the music playing was too loud that it was hard to speak to waitress and give order. We ordered a combo, it a whole chicken and rice and beans, the chicken was well seasoned, beans was bland. Lomo Saltado Steak plate, the dish had little meat loaded with onions. Super Piacada De Carnes, it is different types of meats, small pieces of ribs, blood sausage, beef, fried pork, with yuca and potatoes, the meats was over fried made it chewy, the dish had more yuca and potatoes that made dish look like it was a large dish and lack of meat. Jalen Peruana, this is a fried assorted seafood dish, the dish also had more yuca and potatoes than seafood, the fried seafood was okay. This was the best dish of night Ceviche Mixto de Mariscos, this is a Ceviche mix seafood. There were a salad for table lack of dressing. The food lack on point for price that is charged, and the loud music shorten our time to enjoy our dinner. read more

4.5 stars but gave it a 5 because they were very accommodating for us on a busy night. Came on a Friday night and it was packed! They had a live DJ and the ambience was lively and fun. The waiter warned us that they were very busy so the food would be slow to come out but it was actually pretty fast. I got a glass of sangria and it wasn't watered down like most places. As the kids would say "the food slaps" and I agree. Lomo Saltado had tender pieces of beef and good seasoning. Calamari was fresh and crispy with good sauce. The seafood rice had good umami flavor and good amount of seafood though my MIL thought it was salty. My husband is now a vegetarian and he enjoyed the vegan saltado. Plenty of veggies! Overall a great spot for Latin food. We will visit again! read more

Loved it, though it was extremely loud it was a great place to hang out after work with friends. The spot is small and a little crowded and there is one bathroom, but the service was good, the waiter was checking in on us the whole time, and made sure we had drinks. The food took some time to come out but it was worth it. However, one complaint I have would be the beans, it tasted like nothing, all I could think of is going to the kitchen and making a pot of beans for them. Besides that, everything else was extremely flavorful and well plated. There was a live DJ and a small dance floor, which gave customers some time to dance while the food came. This restaurant is Peruvian and Columbia which 2 people from my party was from this background and they enjoyed looking at the menu and seeing how it was combine. Great place and I will visit again read more

The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced, and both chicken dishes we had were very tasty and HUGE portions - one with the mushroom sauce and served with rice and fries, and the other with no sauce and served with plantains, rice, and beans. Will definitely be back - the food packs a punch and you get good bang for your buck - making this a welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

I am writing this review to express how disappointed I am in the service... actually lack of service that my husband and I received today. Please note that I previously left a very positive review for this restaurant. Truth be told, we love the food here and love that we can walk here. It's a great local spot! However, in 2 recent visits, the service has been - to be blunt- awful. Tonight, my husband and I went around 5:45, wanting to take advantage of the happy hour specials and have a nice meal. We sat for 15 minutes, with no one even acknowledging us. We understand the restaurant was busy, but then at least give us an, "I'll be right with you." My husband had to go to the bar to get us drinks. Ultimately, I was so disgusted, we left after finishing our drinks. I want to support your restaurant, but please get your servers to work on their customer service skills! read more

I have been coming to in Piazza for two years and getting the combo which I love. I love their chicken today. I'm currently sitting at their table myself and my partner. I am Muslim. I asked for the combo and they told me they're not changing anything in the combo, even though both combos that they sold include pork in one of their dishes each I asked for them to switch the pork dish out for fries or anything as I did in the past they blatantly told me no. In no in no uncertain terms, I am not allowed to purchase a combo and switch one small dish. I must purchase something extra for an extra cost because I'm of another religion that cannot consume certain foods I told who they claim is the manager who is actually just our server that if someone comes in with a health concern, do you not make the dish differently or do they just have to leave this makes me so upset. I cannot believe the customs of this place. I do not recommend just based on how they treat customers. read more

Horrible service . Made a reservation for 9 people get there nothing is ready. Had to wait for about 10 min to get the tables setup. Then they bring out the menus full of food and sticky stuff between the pages . After they bring out the order had to wait 35 min get a soda that they forgot to bring the first time had to remind them about 4. Now the food sucks ordered Arroz Chufa mixed steak and chicken give you tons of rice and literally tiny amount of steak and chicken. Swimming in a mountain rice looking for protein that is never there!!! Same deal with the Lomo Saltado no meat all !!! Personally I do not recommend this place and will NEVER be going back ! Don't waist your time . read more

This place was disappointing to be honest... Came here on a random Tuesday at 4pm. It wasn't a busy day but for some reason the service was very much lacking. Why with so many waiters ? I had to continually ask the waiter to come over for one reason or another. No water on the table, rice was under cooked, food was bland! These were the complaints we had. What's going on ? I really wanted to like this place because the decore is gorgeous & establishment was clean. They actually had two vegan options for me to choose from which I was grateful for. They should also think about putting a vegan appetizer on the menu aswell. I also love the complimentary plantain chips they gave when seated. They went ahead & added the gratuity on the receipt without disclosing the percentage chosen. Normally I wouldn't mind but in this case 20-25% wasn't deserved. Maybe I will try the second location in Astoria & see if the food & service is better. That's a big maybe though.... We shall see. Enjoy! read more

Ignore the 3 star average review. Most of them are from the previous restaurant at the same location.

And we'll be back with our family and friends. Finally, a nice restaurant in this section of town. read more
