Inka Chicken is a great place for flavorful Peruvian food. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the rotisserie chicken...juicy and moist on the inside, perfectly roasted on the outside, and seasoned with just the right balance of savory spices. Each bite tastes fresh and well prepared, very moist rotisserie chicken. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and sweet plantains...the perfect combination. Both exceeded my expectations. The meat was delicious and the plantains were sweet and tasty. The side really helps round out the meal. The orange sauce was a standout, which adds a creamy, slightly spicy kick that elevates everything it touches. I could taste a hint of mustard, not sure of the other ingredients...all I know it was quite tasty, Service was quick and friendly, making it an easy choice for a casual lunch. Portions are generous for the price, and the food feels filling without being heavy. The restaurant sparsley packed, however, they do also have drive through...a convenient benefit. Very chill environment. read more

I ordered lunch from here the other day and got the naked burrito bowl. The picture doesn't make it look like anything special but there is a layer of chicken and rice and beans hidden underneath that lettuce! Super seasoned and flavorful and pretty good portion. Would definitely order again! read more

The food here is delicious! The chicken is definitely worth it. I came here early since it gets pretty packed during rush hours. I had the inka bowl with quinoa and shrimp and a cup of their chicken soup, alongside a guayaba juice. Super yummy! The place is decorated super cute and the service is great when they bring the food to the table. I haven't ordered for drive thru pick up so I wouldn't be able to comment on that. The orders sometimes take longer than expected, even if you order ahead of time. This is why it's hard to give a full 5 start. However, I would certainly recommend this place for their consistency in fresh ingredients and tasty food. read more

Absolutely amazing peruvian food! Husband, who is peruvian, and I - who loves everything peruvian - were delighted by the quality and deliciousness of the dishes that we got. Green pasta had the dreamiest sauce. Lomo Saltado: The sauce was almost 10/10 rich, balanced, and full of flavor. The only downside was the beef being a bit on the chewy side, but flavor-wise, it delivered. I also wish fries were mixed in the wok. 4/5 Tallarines Verdes: Incredible. The sauce was silky, herby, and perfectly seasoned, the beef juicy and tender. Easily one of the best I've ever had. 5/5 Tres Leches: Moist, creamy, not overly sweet. Amazing. 5/5 read more

Place was really nice inside. Loved the decoration. Customer service was great! Easy to order and food arrives pretty fast. I had the lomo saltado and it was delicious! I definitely will be back again to try the other items! read more

I visited using the drive thru. They give you a number to pull forward while you wait a few minutes for your order. Mine took about 3-4 minutes to arrive. The chicken was juicy and full of full of flavor. I definitely should have ordered the 1/2 size instead of the 1/4. Yuca fries, rice and fried plantains were all great. I would visit again. read more

They have a drive through (I don't suggest it takes a bit) so this was on my list Beto be honest it's more like real food in a fast food setting. And I love Peruvian chicken, plantains and black beans. The price is pretty reasonable for quarter chicken like $6/ half $15 ish, side of plantains $3-$4 and the empanada was $6 (it's massive btw) so under $20 for not processed real meal is legit for me. The wait was a while but that could be because I pulled up right when they opened. Super nice reasonably priced. And everything was delicious (empanada isn't going to last long- the dough will get soggy so eat it sooner rather than later). I got this for the drive home unfortunately did not take pictures I think read more

This is a casual chill place to eat - order at the counter. The staff was super friendly. It does take a little while for your food to come out but it's really fresh. The chicken was very tender and juicy, bursting with flavor. We didn't know about all of the different sauces so will have to try those when we come back. We also ordered the Chaufa Aeropuerto - noodles and fried rice with meat and seafood with a fried egg on top. Delicious. read more

So good!!! It's a lot more expensive than your Costco or H-E-B rotisserie chicken but let me tell you it's delicious. Everything we've eaten here has been fantastic. Not the fastest place all the time but I love that they have a drive thru. My husband loves the Mac and cheese. read more

I have eaten from here three times now and trust me, it's well worth a visit (or an order, since one of those three times was delivery). I routinely find myself wanting more Inka Chicken :) The staff is pleasant and helpful. The restaurant itself is very casual feeling, but it also feels like you're visiting the kitchen table of dear friends or family as it's warm and inviting. You can tell the food is made with pride and love. I've not had anything bad here - the flavors, colors, quality of the food I've had has been top notch. I highly recommend the empanadas, the Inka wrap and the cheese ball appetizer (I don't remember what it was called). There is parking available - just don't judge the look of it from the outside as I promise you inside, you'll find scratch made food that gives your tastebuds a trip to Peru. read more

Inka Chicken - Empanada - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Located off of I35 in North Austin, Inka Chicken stands out next to what feels like a medley of old American chain options including IHop, Cheddars, and Texas Roadhouse. We ended up coming here because Texas Roadhouse had a 45 minute wait, as expected, and did not leave dissapointed. Inka Chicken is first and foremost Peruvian Chicken, a savory chicken dish known for its lime green sauce and to-die-for melt in your mouth texture. Inka did not fail to dissapoint on this front, although you can also find a massive variety of what I imagine is a mix of Peruvian-American fried options, including Peruvian Fried Rice (Arroz Chaufa Peruvian), Ceviche, Lomo (beef stir fry), and about a hundred variations of fried latin american foods including the Chimichanka. We ordered four different dishes, including the Chimichanka, Empanadas, Naked Burrito Bowl, and half a chicken and were completely stuffed. The food was great, but would knock what feels like not the most sanitary or well-kept indoor space. This feels closer to a casual worn down fast food restaurant than anywhere you'd ever want to take a date, and might be best suited for a very casual meet-up of friends or a take-out spot. read more

Love this place. Now, the drive through is very slow, but I don't mind because the food is so delicious and fresh. I love the yucca fries, the chicken, the chicha morada drink, the sandwiches... I haven't had anything bad here. read more

Such an unexpected wonderful place! I've been here about a dozen or more times... and am still impressed every time. I've only eaten the grilled chicken and sides. The sauces are incredible. Highly recommend! read more

My first ever experience with this food (Thank you, Lunch Drop!) and boy, oh boy, was it great! I loved the touch of the tableware wrapped in a paper napkin rather than one of those stupid plastic all-in-one things. If they take time and care with the details, don't you think they will pay attention to the food? If my one impulsive order is any indication, then YES!! read more

Inka Chicken - Arroz Chaufa Vegetariano - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Terrific spot for unique and delicious Peruvian dishes. The chicken is excellent, but don't overlook the other specialties. The ceviche was particularly nice, as was the Tallarines Verdes. We have been several times and everything has been very good. The starters and sides are nice, too and offer enough vegetarian options to satisfy the non-carniverores in your group. Don't let the fast food look of the exterior fool you, this is some excellent food! Counter service, delivered to your table. Everything seems to be cooked to order so it's not quick, but not unreasonable. Plenty of comfortable tables and a TV usually showing soccer (futbol) games. The crew is friendly and hard working. They offer 6-8 bottled beers, soft drinks, etc. read more

There are so many choices on the menu, you can easily be overwhelmed. But I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with whatever you do end up getting. My friend and I shared a half chicken with yuca frita and sweet plantains and it was the perfect amount to feed two. The chicken was so juicy and tender. And I love that it comes with tortillas so you can make your own little wrap. We got medium spice level sauce (it was kind of like spicy mayo but im not sure what it actually was) but it honestly wasn't that spicy at all. And the sides were both delicious, it surprisingly wasn't too heavy. read more

My go-to for roasted chicken. Do not--I repeat-- do not skip the chicken. Typically my family and I order one of the family meals which comes with a whole chicken and your side of choices and corn or flour tortillas. The chicken is roasted perfectly making the skin charred and crispy while the meat remains soft and juicy. My favorite side are the black beans, plantains and yucca frita. Also check out the lomo saltado which has sautéed beef, vegetables, fries, and rice. I've been here quite a few times now and they always seem to get our tortilla order incorrect. We order corn but they always bring flour tortillas! Nevertheless, the family meals provide you with so much food already that I personally don't need the extra side of carbs so it's not a deal breaker. read more

Always delicious, lots the variety of the menu. Best chicken in the area hands down!! Definitely recommend trying Inka Chicken!!

After browsing through Yelp, my dad and I decided to go with this place because their page said we could get free ice cream if we checked in... which was not the case lol! However, I'm still glad we came because their food was really delectable! Operations run kind of like a fast food chain, where you order up at the counter, grab a number, and they bring it to your table once it's ready, but it's definitely slower because their food is of higher quality and requires longer prep times. They even have a drive-thru, which I'm curious to know how long it takes for the customer to receive the food because it already took a really long time when dining in. It wasn't necessarily packed when we went during dinner time, but there were maybe 5 or 6 parties in total, including my dad and I. We ordered 2 starters and one specialty plate, which was just the right amount to share between 2 people. My dad and I waited for 35 minutes, and as I mentioned, it wasn't like the place was packed to the brim, but I also don't know how busy the drive thru was either. When 35 minutes had passed, and I was honestly starting to get really really hungry, I flagged a worker down to let him know that more than 30 minutes had gone by, and we hadn't even received the appetizers yet. Not sure if that made a difference in speeding up the process, but they eventually brought it out to us a minute or two later. Then the specialty plate came out a few minutes after as well. For our starters, I was originally going to order the yuquitas rellenas because I had heard positive things about em, but the employee said they wouldn't be able to serve it for another month for whatever reason I couldn't catch. Therefore, we ended up going with the beef empanada and the tostones baskets, which were both great options!! The beef empanada was pretty big. It had a nice outer crispy shell, and the inside was filled with juicy, tender beef that had a bit of a sweet taste from the marinade. I was anticipating something totally different, like ground beef, so this took me by surprise (a good one)! It was served with some kind of sauce on the side, it reminded me of the chuy's jalapeño dip. The tostones had to be my dad and I's favorite. Everything was so fresh and the combination of avocado, salsa criolla, and queso fresco with the tostones and rice was AMAZING. They loaded that thang up generously with all the toppings. Pretty darn filling and pretty darn good for $8. As for the specialty plate, I wasn't sure what to expect, I just opted for a chicken dish and read a few reviews on the causa limena de pollo. My first initial thought when I saw the dish come out was like woah this is smaller than I thought it'd be and I also wondered why it took so long to prepare because when I looked at it, I figured these were ingredients that could have already been premade. But I don't want to make assumptions, and plus, they made the presentation of it look so beautiful!! It honestly tasted like ordinary potato salad with shredded chicken to me, so it didn't exactly blow me away. I probably wouldn't order it again, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try such a delicacy. I went back up to the cashier and asked him about the ice cream for the yelp check in, and he said they didn't serve ice cream cones anymore. I showed him a review from a month ago, with pictures confirming that the customer received an inka's delight after checking in, but he said that was too expensive to be giving out for free, which I then asked why that customer was able to receive it. He said it's because she really wanted it. I wasn't trying to fight for it, but I just wanted to hear his reasoning, and I wanted to clarify whether this promotion was going to remain on their yelp page or not. He did say they wouldn't be offering it anymore, so I told him it should be taken down then. He let me know that he would consult with his boss. I only wanted to mention all of this as a heads up for anyone who is going to be visiting soon and was expecting to get ice cream at the end haha. Overall really enjoyed the cuisine! Service could be better, but there's always room for improvement! No issues with parking, and there's plenty of indoor seating. read more

The food here is consistent. It's very convenient that you can dine in or go thorough the drive thru. I've eaten here for lunch, gotten takeout and also picked up food to contribute towards a potluck. All the food is always a hit. E enjoy the family meal chicken with white rice, black beans, steak fries and yucca fries. As an app, the yucca rellenas are my favorite. The juices are also always fresh. My faves are the chicha morada, jugo de tamarindo (tamarind) and jugo de maracuyá (passion fruit). As far as entrees, I've really liked the Lomo Saltado and Tallarines Verdes. It's located at a fast food joint so you order at the counter before you take a seat and they bring your food out to you. It takes a little longer than an actual fast food establishment but it's because you can trust that your food is being cooked fresh. The service is always quick which is great if you're stopping by for lunch. They are very helpful, especially if you may not be as familiar with Peruvian/South American cuisine. Try it out, you won't regret it! read more

Inka Chicken - Yuca Fries & Potato Steak Fries - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Inka Chicken had been on my list of must try places in Austin for quite some time. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of everything we ordered especially considering it was almost closing time on a weekend! They were extremely busy so we didn't feel so bad walking in with only 20-30 min left before closing. The parking lot was completely full. It took a long time to figure out what to order for my group of 4. We decided on chaufilomo a delicious combo of fried rice with steak in sauce topped with an egg. We also chose a family meal to share. Every side dish and especially the chicken were all delicious. We loved the juicy flavorful chicken, the creamy saucy mac and cheese, fresh house salad, black beans and cilantro rice. Dipping sauces were great too. The only thing we didn't like was that they were out of tortillas because it had been such a busy day. That REALLY would have been perfect with the salsa and chicken. Instead we received the conchitas which none of us cared for (think flavorless corn nuts). Other than that, everything was good and 3/4 in our group said they'd go back. read more

First time coming here and second time trying Peruvian food! We surprisingly didn't get any chicken even though I would assume their chicken is the best according to their name. The Loco a lo Macho is sooo good! My boyfriend kept on eating my dish, which was fine because the portion is also huge! I didn't really know what it was but glad I got it. It comes with potato fries and beef. The sauce is sweet and a little spicy. The Peruvian fried rice is also cooked really well. Very tasty-love the egg on top! The dishes look really great here. Tip: if you check in via Yelp, you get complimentary ice cream!! The ice cream is so good. It comes with fried plantains. I think they were supposed to offer a cone instead of this but I'm not complaining! I'm very happy that this is one of the few places I've been to that actually has a check in reward that works. I'm excited to try more next time! read more

Wow, this place is good! I ordered a 1/4 chicken and yuka frita. I picked mild for spice but I didn't taste any so I'll try for more spice next time. The chicken was really flavorful and juicy. The yuka frita are so crispy and the sauce they gave me was delicious. They are almost too crispy if you're trying to eat with a fork, but I really enjoyed it. My friend ordered a side of Mac and cheese and that tasted like stouffer's mac and cheese. That's not a bad thing, but it does taste super cheesy. The staff were super friendly, but one of my friends never got one of his sides and had to wait a while to get it. I think there was a miscommunication somewhere since he wanted to cancel that side since he hadn't received it, but they had already made it and then he just got it to go. Tip: if you check in on Yelp, you'll get free ice cream! read more

Inka Chicken - 1/4 Chicken and 1 Regular Side - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the best delivery chicken I ever had. My family was over and we ordered a family meal with 4 sides. The chicken was out of this world, whatever magical herbs and seasonings applied to this bird, it was juicy and delectable-we all ate till we were full. The garlic sauce was so good, I put it on the mashed potatoes instead of gravy, amazing. The plantain was delicious too. Wow! I can't wait for more, just really wholesome and good food. read more

Inka is a hidden gem in Austin. I want to tell everyone about it but I also want to keep it quiet because they run out and this is the only location They are amazing and one of our favorite spots. My husband and I always get the family meal so we can have leftovers. We typically get the rice and beans, and plantains. The rice is nicely flavored and never gooey. The plantains are perfectly caramelized. If I were to have a last meal, Inka would be it. read more

Inka Chicken - DELICIOUS - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is fantastic. This places does chicken well and I highly recommend them. They are a Peruvian place known for charcoal fired rotisserie chicken. I went for that but their oven broke so they had a fried chicken as an alternative. The chicken is Smokey and packs a punch of flavor. The fried chicken is great too because they use the same marinade as the charcoal chicken. Think of a store bought rotisserie chicken but 12x flavorful. Their cilantro rice is also my favorite side! You cannot go wrong with any of their sauces. I like the medium sauce. This is a great for family night. They have great family meals. If you're wanting to try something different this is the place. read more

What a find! Delicious rotisserie chicken (what we came for) but also there's many other menu items that look super appealing! We had the half a chicken with a yuca and fries side and the mild aji sauce (which was delicious and mild and flavorful)- and we were full! You order up front and then get your number and wait for their delivery to your table. It can be a wait, depending on how busy they are, but in good conversation the time flows on by. The atmosphere of this small rotisserie space is very quaint and colorful and there are also 2 tvs showcasing the latest game. Oh I forgot to mention the food they showcase is mainly peruvian favorites, as well as deserts and Inka Kola! Enjoy! read more

Inka Chicken - Half a chicken with 2 sides and inka kola - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

5/5 Food 6/5 Service The staff here is what every restaurant should try to achieve. They are very nice and seem to take pride in their work, I was beyond impressed! The chicken? Damn. We didn't even get to it until our baby went to bed, so like 2 hours? Still tender and moist! Like... how!? The marinade or glaze or whatever on it is incredible. We couldn't finish it and ate the rest today, even their day old chicken reheated nicely and tasted so good. For sides, we had Yucca Fries and Black Beans. The amount of flavor they get into such simple items blows my mind. Just do it. Get their chicken and get the black beans and some rice, you won't regret it. The only downside? Hated the sauces. Not docking points because you don't need a side sauce to go with the food. We got the Aji Amarillo and Aji Rocoto - both have mayo in it and uh, way too much. Peruvian is one of my favorite foods and I was excited to have the sauce but these just tasted like mayo with a slight kick. You really don't need any sauce to go with your food anyways, trust me. read more

Food is superb. Service is great and people are friendly. Sauces are great but I didn't use any for the chicken bc it's flavoring is spot on! That's the only reason I come here.

This place is a gem if you order the right dish. I've been back twice since first visiting last month. It operates like something a cut above a fast food restaurant. The food tastes more authentic & better quality than what most fast food restaurants offer, but it has a drive-thru. You also have the option to dine in: order your food at the counter, and have it served to you at your table. I've tried the arroz chaufa, lomo saltado, macaroni & cheese, plantains, salad, tres leche cake, and guava juice, which were all excellent. However, I can't recommend their rotisserie chicken, their signature dish... I ordered the quarter chicken and received a small dried out cut of chicken that had far less meat on the bone than a typical chicken breast. If it weren't for this most recent experience, I would have given this casual & yummy spot 5 stars. read more
