Good not great.. I'm critical of restaurants and normally I give a 3.5 if o could but a few things definitely knock down to a 3. 1st off when you spend $22 and a customer ask for extra sauce just give it to them. Especially when normally Lomo Saltado usually comes with it on the dish. They give you 1 small..... Oz cup for a large plate. It was good size and gave me one but wanted to charge $1.00 for another. $6 for platanos is a little high but it was a shareable portion. Steak wasn't the best quality but tasted good. I had a few bites that had gristle and had to spit one bite out. Like I said it's good not great. Sauce is good and little spicy. I have been to many Peruvian restaurants and a few are AMAZING but this one is good. Biggest downfall is not enough sauce and ok quality steak. Customer service was great on the phone and in person until I asked for another sauce. When a customer asks for something say it's an extra dollar rather than "I gave you two" as if don't know what I want. read more

Excellent food, cozy place to dine. The host was nice and polite. The food was so mouthwatering and the green salsa is to die for. I have visited the first time blindly with just a photo of The Infamous "Lomo Saltado" that had set the stage for such a delightful meal. I definitely recommend to give this place a try. read more

Other than good customer service I Will not return. I ordered the seafood rice. The calamari was rubbery and the shrimp tasted fishy. The entire rice dish was salty and after 3 bites I stopped trying. I couldn't remember why I didn't remember the food and why I would drive to Rancho to get my Peruvian fix. read more

It was another nobody-wants-to-cook- dinner kind of a night in our house, so we took to good ole Yelp to guide us to good food. Since we were in Upland, we visited Inca's Peruvian Grill. It's a quaint family style, mom-and-pop restaurant serving lunch and dinner; breakfast is served on the weekends. There are less than a dozen tables inside and a couple of tables outside. I wanted tallarin verde, but the server told me they didn't have that dish. Per his suggestion, I ordered tallarin saltado de pollo. The flavor was great but the pieces of chicken in my meal were very dry. For dessert my husband and I got the mini alfajores and ate a couple at the restaurant. (The cookies come in a small clear plastic box, so we took the remaining ones home.) The thing that stood out (unfortunately) was the dry chicken. :( If I come back here again, I'm going to try a different dish. read more

I got the chicha morada $2 and Tacu tacu $9.99. It was like a lomo saltado but with mashed beans instead of fries. It was filling and it tasted pretty good. The place was clean and the guy was nice. They take card. read more

Worse Peruvian food. Not even close to the real deal. Do not waste your money or time. Find another Peruvian place.

Ordered take out twice here. Food was made within 15-20 mins which I think is pretty good. We ordered platanos, Papas, chaufa de pollo, pollo saltado, and picante de mariscos. The picante plate was amazing, I loved the spice and flavor as did my son. My daughter is not a huge fan of chicken but loved the pollo saltado. My husband fell in love with the chaufa de pollo and platanos. The only plate I wasn't too impressed on was the Papa a la huancaína. I have tastes better, the sauce was extremely bland and just didn't taste right with the potatoes. But honestly other than that I think this is a great place to recommend. They did increase a few of the prices on the menu, so it can be a bit more pricey than other spots. I would recommend trying it and seeing if you think it's worth the amount you pay. I believe it to be. read more

Inca's Peruvian Grill - Time I got there - Peruvian Near Me - Upland, California

A Peruvian buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to join him for dinner. Being relatively new to Peruvian cuisine, I couldn't miss the opportunity to try some more. We headed over to Inca's to grab a bite to eat. Upon pulling up to the storefront, I could smell delicious food being cooked, and couldn't wait to try some. My buddy told me the most popular dish, by far, is the "Lomo Saltado". Loosely translated, Lomo Saltado means sauteed loin. That's a pretty boring way to describe this dish. Upon arriving at your table, you'll even think it looks pretty plain - soon after your first bite, you'll know how wrong you are. The first bite of meat will reveal a tender and salty taste, followed by a beautiful smoky flavor that lingers. The meat must be surrounded in high flames and enveloped in smoke because that smoky flavor is infused in the meat and the savory juice that's served with it. Seriously, they've gotta rename this dish to something better; "besado por sal de humo" (kissed by salted smoke), perhaps? If you really wanna spice this dish up (and if you love spicy, you really should to give it an extra layer of flavor), the Aji Verde sauce here is amazing! The spice hits you in the back of your throat and scalds your tongue if you try it directly from the serving dish (don't be a dummy like me and try it this way). If used correctly though, like mixed in with your dish, you'll enjoy a delightful, powerful spice that really kicks your dish up a notch. Anyway, based on this dish alone, I know I've gotta come back and try other offerings. This place even offers various drinks (sodas and beer) from Peru, as well as popular candies and snacks from the region. Service here is super friendly and welcoming. Our server was very polite and ensured our drinks were always full and checked in on us to see if we needed anything in addition to what was on our table - Good thing he did, because I ordered the Lomo Saltado to go, so my wife could experience this amazingly tasty dish (If you ever see her, feel free to tell her how lucky she is). Lol. read more

Called prior to place order, answered then hung up. Decided to drive over figured they were just busy. When arrived at 5:35p they said they closed at 6pm so I assumed they were just saying to order. As I tried to order they rudely told me we are closed. Confused I asked," You"re not taking orders still?" They got upset by this and harshly said,"No" So took my business to MICAS PERUVIAN FUSION down the street. All you had to do was say hey we are closing early on the phone OR just change your hours to a time suitable for your employees especially if they're not willing to stay until your closing time. read more

Lomo saltado was delish. Really enjoyed it. Love their special hot sauce. Will definitely order again. Will try the fried rice.

Not really what I was expecting, the meat to hard to chew, a lot of bell pepper on the food and not much flavor.

The family and I had a pleasant meal forunch on Saturday. The other patrons seemed like regular who were there for what I imagine a true home style Peruvian family meal would be. Platanos Steak and pesto spaghetti Lomo Saltado I would definitely recommend this place nice m with pleasant personality ND friendly wait staff. read more

Just ok. Not very friendly service and it took a long time. I love Peruvian food and to me this was just average. The flavors weren't very deep, nothing had a lot of herb or spice. Overall just bland. Won't be returning read more

Food is good. Just don't understand why we were told we couldn't eat inside. When this is going on.... Found out why We came in before couple minutes before 6. Yelp says they close at 9. They just told someone else they close at 6. Still no sign and didn't explain that to us when we came in. read more

Omg! By far the best Peruvian Food not just in town but in all of I.E!!! Soooo good! We ordered the lomo saltado (beef), chaufa (beef), and of course a container of alfajores. Everything was incredibly delicious tasting and FRESH. I'm not sure why but other places I've tried around town (upland, Ontario, Rancho) are not good at all, usually if you get beef lomo saltado the meat will taste a bit weird. Nothing like that at all here! I'm so happy we found a Peruvian food place that we will be coming to often lol! P.s we got our order Togo and the portions were enough to fill me and my boyfriend up and have a bit of left overs! Thanks guys! read more

Super disappointed with the overall experience. Service was terrible, the young gentlemen was more worried about filling the green sauce into to go containers instead of seating us. Waitress lacked in every area. We had to keep asking her to take our order, utensils and our drinks. Kitchen staff was mopping the floor and didn't wash her hands when started to prepare our food. Interesting enough that our food was not very hot it was almost on the cold/warm side and wasn't good at all. Didn't take pictures of our food because it wasn't presentable. Will NOT be returning here!!! read more

This place is so good! Very busy hole in the wall. Sometimes you have to wait but the food is very authentic and tasty. Each time i haven't gotten anything I haven't liked. My husband and I have been here several times and plan to make it part of our rotation read more

The food here is wonderful and so is the customer service. I have been here twice. I ordered the seafood rice dish and the large meat mmedley for 4 to 6 people. Everything was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. read more

Is a nice quiet place to dine in. Not bad good appetizers. Small place. The only thing close early in here. Will go back in future. read more

Very disappointed. I LOVE Mr Pollo in Covina so decided to try this spot close to my office cause I had a taste for lomo saltado. The meat and rice are in the same container so the little gravy for the meat is soaked up into the rice. The rice is extremely mushy. The meat has good flavor but there was also no red sauce, only green. The food was just so disappointing. I will never return. If you want good peruvian food go to Mr Pollo off Citrus Ave in Covina. You know the food is good cause they are crowded EVERY TIME YOU GO THERE! read more

Food was very good. Not oily like the other Peruvian restaurants. Good hot sauce. Service is also good and food came quickly. Husband was disappointed about the rotisserie chicken being removed from the menu but he was still very satisfied with his meal. Restaurant is small but clean. read more

Great food and service. The picante de mariscos is so delicious . Tried it last visit and my wife loved it so much she ate half my plate . The lomo saltado is great as usual but I think our favorite is the picante de mariscos. Btw the sauce is made with some milk for my lactose intolerant friends. It's a small place like most Peruvian restaurant but very clean and nice. Highly recommend this place. read more

We ordered takeout. Rotisserie chicken, chaufo de pollo. The side of beans and all of the food was terrific. They were very friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

Incas has fantastic food. I came with my friends a got to order the best seafood and the Yuka fries were outstanding. The fried rice was also amazing and the green sauce the best part. Overall quick service and wonderful authentic Peruvian food that is cooked with love and passion. Will definitely be back here. read more

Lomo saltado was not good, fries were greasy, not enough sauce, beef was subpar and rice was salty. Service was good. Oh and the ahi is spicy with minimal flavor. read more

Every time I come into Inca's Peruvian Grill the food is great and the service follows suit. I have been here about a dozen times since last year and the quality of the food is always spot on. This was my second encounter with Peruvian food, my first being at this little place in San Bernardino. This restaurant gives of total hole-in-the-wall vibes. It's small, but very charming. The owner is very cordial and provides great service to all his customers. The restaurant is also clean, which is pretty important to me. The place is adorned nicely with Peruvian decor, which helps gives a sense of the culture. Now for the good stuff - the food! The food here is always great. The flavors are pretty unique. I describe the taste as a mix of asian and Latin. There are dishes like the seafood fried rice or arroz chaufa de mariscos (my favorite) that remind me of both Asian (mostly Thai) style fried rice with a Latin twist. At any rate it is delicious! Try any of the chaufas(chicken, beef or seafood). They are all great, but make sure to eat it with the green sauce, as it really adds to the dish. Another great dish is the Picante de mariscos (my girlfriend's favorite). It is another seafood dish that comes in a creamy tomato-base sauce and is served along side white rice. I also recommend the traditional drinks chicha morada and maracuya. The empanadas and fried yucca are also a must!!! This restaurant is deffinitey worth checking out! read more

My husband and I love this place. Our favorite dish is their lomo saltado! The fries and beef are so delicious.

This has been our "go to" spot for authentic Peruvian for years , if my review was based solely on authenticity and deliciousness this would have been an easy 5 star! Now let me get to the actual reason for my rating...the service! They have recently changed staff to a young lady who is absolutely rude and completely clueless on how to serve and treat customers. This is the second time dining with her as our waitress and both times we have left with crap service. Something as simple as asking for a spoon will result in not only a 15 plus minute wait but attitude when asking for it for a third time with a smart ass remark "I don't control the back!" I'm sorry but if this was my business and my server talked to a customer she would be fired. spending over $100 for this isn't worth the attitude. read more

The food is very authentic Peruvian food , small restaurant but really good... prices are affordable

For this being my first time, I'm giving this place 3 stars for the following reasons. I came in to try out their lunch menu. I was informed that lunch is served only from 11 am till 3 pm. When I ordered, it was 3:04 pm, and the server told me I could no longer order. If I were working at the place and providing the best customer service, I would have allowed the customer to order from the lunch menu, given that it was just past 3 pm. Looking at the menu, all the dishes were priced expensive, in the $17, $18, $19 ranges. The only thing that was affordable was the sides and the appetizers, which ranged between $6 to $9. The menu photos posted on Yelp do not have updated photos of the menu, though I wished I could have taken a picture to post on this review for viewers. The menu was limited to order as they were not offering some plates that day. I ordered a tallarin verde with breaded chicken. Menu listed the price as $17 with taxes, it came out to around $18ish, and since I paid with a card, it came out to $19ish. Now for the food taste, the tallarin verde pesto sauce was lacking in taste, though the breaded chicken was seasoned and cooked well and tasted decent. I did notice the server filling out a pitcher of water with tap water from the sink, so I'm not sure if that is filtered or not. As for the dining experience, it was okay. Overall, I would not come back because the dishes are expensive, and the menu options are limited. I would suggest that the business owners add affordable food items to the menu; for example, perhaps lower the price of the arroz chaufa in the $12 range, as rice is not an expensive ingredient and this can be an affordable plate. read more

The last time I had Peruvian food was in SF and it was called Inca's so when I saw this place I had to stop by. I believe the food was truly made to order because the fries were so crispy and the beef tasted really fresh. This is hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to based on quality alone. The fact that the food tasted perfect is the cherry on top. read more

What a gem of a place. This used to be mine and my sons go to place for Lomo Saltado and it never disappointed. We moved during the pandemic to NC and haven't been able to find a place that was anywhere as good as Incas. I truly miss eating here. read more

Great place and excellent food!! Tried the Arroz con mariscos..... Loved it. It's small in size, 7 tables (2 & 4's) but we'll worth the wait for sure.

Food was decent, empanadas dry. Poor customer service. I sat outside which was nice, waitress sat me down and gave a menu and never cane back to take my order. I had to walk in where I placed an order inside because she said she forgot I was out there. There were only 3 other tables of people eating. read more

Our first time here and we were extremely impressed food was delicious and service great we will be coming back!!

My little family and I had high hopes for Incas. Peruvian food is one of our favorites. It's too bad that they missed the mark on our meals. I ordered the beef fried rice and what I got was semi hard and chewy rice that had almost no flavor. My wife tried to order the Tacu Tacu but our server said "no". He suggested another dish instead, which was meh. We were overcharged for our small bottled sodas. The meals weren't very good and the service was pretty bad. All in all I would say not worth your time. read more

This place is so delicious! We ordered several different plates and everything was cooked to perfection. Our favorites of the night were the Picante de Mariscos, Ceviche, and the Arroz Chaufa con Pollo. The sauces in the Picante de Mariscos was so flavorful, the Ceviche was refreshing, and the Arroz hit the spot! Everything was made to order and tasted so fresh. The staff is also so friendly and make you feel at home. 10/10. read more
