SO MUCH YES Aji sauce. Hook me up to an IV drip of that sauce. All day. Inka chicken- so moist. Flavorful. No fatty bits. Skin roasted to perfection. Mac n cheese - Velveeta type Mac n cheese is normally not my jam but this Mac n cheese was so much more than this. Plantains- had the fried crispy bits that you love. Not mushy. Chef's kiss Lomo Saltado- this was like a beef bourguignon with a wine base. Loved it. Meat was tender and high quality. The menu is so diverse. It was so hard not to order 5 more distinctive items. I'll def be back. read more

I am Peruvian and finding authentic Peruvian food is a challenge. This place made me feel like I was eating in Perú! I tried several dishes and all of them were delicious. Its a sit down restaurant, but you order at the cashier. Their menu has several types of Peruvian food and Peruvian beverages. There is a Mexican twist to some minor things like adding tortillas on the side or using sour cream for some sauces, but still pretty authentic. read more

This place was so unexpected. Great Latin/South American Food! It looks like a fast food place from the street, and inside does too, but when you get your food, it is anything but! Fried yucca, fried plantains, black beans and cilantro rice, and the corn were all rediculous--as in incredibly good. Que rico! The chicken was great too, and the sauces we tried spectacular--the hot stuff is the best but not for the uninitiated. This is my new place to get real authentic food for take-out monthly and it's healthy!We always walk away happy. Order in advance and use the drive-thru...it's a wait otherwise, but always worth it. read more

We got this place because it was the only? Place open on Thanksgiving at the time and we were excited because it has good reviews. I am SO glad we tried this restaurant and will now be back to try more. LOVED the yucca and sauces especially. Chicken was great :) very kind staff as well read more

The food is good and flavorful. I tried a couple of things. I had the arroz chaufarroncito, the charcoal grilled chicken and their tostones. The tostones, appetizer, are good. Little green plantain cups filled with beans and rice topped with onions tomatoes and sauce. They had a citrus flavor that I really liked. The toston itself I couldnt tell if its freshly made or store bought. Regardless it was good. The chicken had great taste but the skin is delicious as you can really tase the charcoal flavor. It came with a side of feied yuquitas (cassava). The arroz chaufarroncito was my favorite. Flavorful fried rice with teo pieces of meat. Keep in mind that the chicharrón is not the same as the mexican chicharron, just letting you know. But you can see and taste the fusion of japanese and peruvian flavors. Its topped with onions and their aji sauce. Come and try it! If you like this review dont forget to click on any of the UFC buttons. read more

I'm usually really hard to please, but the food is bussin'! I ordered the chicken soup, sirloin with rice, and chicken with cilantro rice. not only was everything delicious, but the flavor lingers in the best way. I'm even thinking about skipping brushing my teeth just to hold on to the taste a little longer . Thanks again for cooking such a fire meal! read more

mixed feeling about the place, the steak on the pasta wasn't great but the flavor of paste is fabulous. Service is good and friendly. Likely a 3.5 for me read more

Delicious and a nicer option than your typical fast food drive through. Yuca fries are hard to find so thrilled they have them!

Yummy late luncharino here today. After 10 years they have mega-revamped the menu and added a buttload of Peruvian options. Wife was drawn here because of the tallarines de mariscos she saw on Instagram. I was drawn here by the chance to eat a bunch of chicken with rice, beans, yuca and their two delicious salsas. Looks like lately there have been a bunch of whiny babies giving one star reviews saying that the Peruvian food here sucks and it is the "worst they have ever had in their lives." I am happy to report that our food was not one star. Wife's pasta was delicious. However she's a small woman and it didn't fill her up, and at $23 and change, it should. Seafood portion was sufficient, but put more noodles at least. And because there was no bread to sop up the delicious sauce, a bunch of it went to waste. After the fact we looked on Instagram and saw the seafood pasta is pictured with bread. So not sure why the cashier told my wife the pasta doesn't come with bread when she asked him. read more

The food here is amazing. The family deal is great. Sad that the drive through shut down- post pandemic inka has suffered in the service. Every one is super nice it's just slow- go when you have more time. I hope it picks up again. read more

I rarely review places twice- but Inka Chicken deserves it!! A couple months ago we tried this spot for the first time and no lie have been in here almost EVERY week since! This is one of those places where the chicken is SO good you don't even wanna try other things!! But we did- and let me tell you!!! The fettuccine al lomo was absolutely delicious. So flavorful, good cuts of beef and very filling. The chicken of course, remains THE best chicken I've ever had. And I've had a lot of chicken!!! It just checks off all the boxes- crispy, juicy, flavorful... yum. The arroz chaufa was delicious. It has soy sauce in it, and tastes similar to fried rice you'd get at a really good Chinese restaurant, but BETTER! We now know that if we're craving fried rice, to come here! Lol. The service remains incomparable. We love seeing the owner and she really cares about her customers. Last time we came, they sold out of chicken and the owner was so committed to making sure her customers were satisfied, despite them running out (because it's just that good y'all!!!) This has hands down become our FAVORITE restaurant in the area. If more than one of the drinks sound good to you, I recommend getting a Tutti Frutti- it's a mixture of few of the drinks!! Oh oh and if they happen to still have Alfajores when you come, get them!!! They sell out QUICK! Thank you for all you do, Inka Chicken & Team!!! read more

Inka Chicken - Family combo #1 with cilantro rice and plantains!!! SO GOOD!!! - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm a big fan of rotisserie chicken and this place cooks some damn good chicken! Rotisserie has a nice char and flavorful with every bite! They have their mild and hot sauce to add some extra flavoring. I chose the mild one and it had a milky consistency while the hot which my fiancé chose was more of a salsa. Both were great but not necessary! The portion size are pretty generous as well. I tried their plantains and their mac and cheese. I wasn't even able to eat half of the mac and cheese because of the carb overload on my plate. I did enjoy the plantains more than the mac. It's not common to find a restaurant that sells rotisserie chicken unless it's at a grocery store. I'm glad this place exists and very close to place. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Inka Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Some of the best chicken we've ever had! Elevate your taste buds and try it! You think it's just some fast food place but there's hospitality as soon as you walk in and it has a warm cultural vibe. The food was amazing and we will definitely return! read more

I was so excited to try this place but unfortunately for me it was very disappointing. We ordered a chicken and beef empanada, several sauces, and some yuquitas. Let me start off by saying the yuquitas were great! The downside of this review is the empanadas were not. The chicken was very greasy and personally the flavor seemed off. I found it to be more edible than the beef. The beef was a dark stew almost with carrots and strings of other things. I couldn't eat it after the first bite. The outside shell of the empanada tasted good as did some of the sauces, but the protein was supposed to be the star. read more

The food was very good! It tasted fresh made, like grandmas kitchen! Cannot wait to go back and try a few different things on the menu

The food here is great! The problem is with service. As I type this review, I have been sitting in the drive-thru for 20 minutes, and I'm pretty sure they forgot I'm here. I truly can't understand why ops is as bad as it is, but it seriously needs to change. Get it together. read more

I like this place and the salsas are out of this world. Sometimes chicken is on the dry side. The purple drink is amazing! I am surprised with 1/4 chicken, 1 side, and a purple drink (large) that my bill was over $16. Throw in a $2 tip and it's $18. Pricey for chicken meal. They need combos and not a la carte everything. I will go back again. read more

I was in the area on business and decide to finally try this place that I had been thinking about for over a year. The building looked like an old Burger King joint but it's all about the food. Inside it looked a little run down too. I headed to the ordering counter. I requested the quarter chicken with two sides; Yucca fries and Plantains. OMG, this place smelled delicious. I was handed my plate on a tray and a cup for my drink. Walked to the drink area. Soda machine, two teas; sweet and unsweet. There was also a napkin dispenser. On the other side were dirty dish containers and a garbage can. No straws nor sugars. Filled my unsweet tea and found a two seater table. I tried the Yucca fries first and enjoyed the taste. I should mention I got a mild sauce with the meal. The fries were dipped in this sauce. So yummy. Next up was the plantains, I had to use a fork. They were good but more suitable as a dessert. Very sweet. Finally the chicken. Moist and well seasoned, very flavorful. It was hard to eat with a knife and fork as it was a thigh and drumstick. So using my hands and getting messy in the process. By the time I was finished the place was crowded. The meal was under $10. and a good deal. Wish they had straws, sugar, and wet naps, otherwise it was very good. read more

Inka Chicken - Combo 2 with fried plantains and yucca fries - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

A friend introduced me to Inka Chicken one evening recently before we went out for drinks. I love Peruvian food and was pleased to be able to try this restaurant. Their namesake ingredient, chicken, is featured prominently on the menu. The chicken is marinated and roasted, introducing a ton of flavor while maintaining a juicy and tender texture. You will also find some interesting foods on the menu such as plantains and yucca. I ordered a 1/4 chicken served with a couple of sides. There are seventeen different side options including steak fries, yuca fries, tostones, cilantro rice, Mac and cheese, and many others. Your chicken also comes with your choice of sauces that cover the range from sweet to savory with varying levels of pepper-generated heat. The sauces paired with the chicken are outstanding. I made myself a couple of chicken tacos using the meat and sauces, rice, and fresh veggies from the plate. Prices are reasonable and the service is great. I will be back to try some of the other interesting entrees available here. Highly recommended. read more

The food is fresh hospitality is great lots of seating space and colorful interior. Good parking. Can be found right on a corner lot

Drive through was broken when we tried it for the first time. Funny that they told us drive through was broken, through the drive through. But since the place was small we just went in to buy instead. Ordering was easy and fast, and they had TVs with sports to entertain yourself while waiting for the food. We got a family meal to feed three of us, and the food did not disappoint. Chicken was very well seasoned and tender and the cilantro rice was delicious and fluffy. The yuka fries were still crispy even when to go but was a little tough for my liking. Still delicious though. And the mild sauce was delicious. However I wished they allowed us to choose two different sauces to try since they gave us two containers of sauce anyways. Did not try the corn tortillas, but they seems pretty well made! Would definitely come back for other items on future! read more

I walked into Inka chicken on Wells branch and was hit by the stench of raw sewage. I knew this was not going to be a pleasant dining experience. I went to the drinks and got some iced tea and tasted it, and it tasted old and nasty and I looked at the side and all the brooms, mops, and everything was leaned against the Soda dispenser. I got my food and I can't pronounce it but it had pasta in it and it tasted horrible. This restaurant was filthy. Food tasted terrible and the place stunk it needs to be reported to the board of health and where is Marvin Zindler when you need him? read more

Food: 5 stars We ordered the family meal with white corn tortillas, fried plantains, and mac n cheese. Why settle for your average grocery store rotisserie chicken when you can get Inka chicken instead? Thoroughly seasoned with a smokiness to the juicy, tender chicken tasted absolutely heavenly. Everything in the family combo tasted amazing. The portion was more than enough for two people. For dessert, we got the flan. The flan was a little too curdled for my preference, but it was still delicious. Service: 5 stars The menu is HUGE. I'm glad I did some research beforehand so I could get a better idea of what I wanted to order, but I'm still glad the cashier was patient with us. Ambiance: N/A We opted for drive thru for today. The food takes time to prep, so I was surprised they had a drive thru option. Small wait but it's not anything unbearable. Would I come back? YES!!!!!! There's so many things on the menu I still need to try! I can't photograph well, but I can absolutely guarantee that Inka chicken is worth a visit. read more

Inka Chicken serves up some of the most delicious grilled Peruvian chicken I have ever had!!!! The favor of the chicken is unmatached. You can choose your spicy level from mild to medium to spicy. When ever I am in the north Austin area I love to dropped in and enjoy the amazing chicken along with cilantro rice , back beans, and sweet plantains. Served with the meal is a choice of sauces that also add interesting flavor and heat. Peruvians food done extremely well describes Inka Chicken. Keep up the great work.

Greatest Chicken in all of Austin!!! Amazing quality & flavor to all their sides! Great place

I had the half chicken, white rice, steak fries and mild sauces!!Yummy and great gluten free options ! Will be coming back again

Always smells great.Chicken is great.No complaints.Servers are always nice.Great place to pick up dinner.

There's just something about a place with a picture of a chicken on fire that gets the curiosity wheels spinning. Their reputation is great and while the menu is straightforward, you have to stop yourself from ordering all the sides you see. On a day defined by a massive cold front, sitting down with a plate of roasted chicken just sounds like the appropriate thing to do. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with a side of Yuka fries, fried plantains, and black beans. Overall the chicken was pretty good, although nothing spectacular. The white meat was more tender than that from most places, and the dark meat was also fairly good. You definitely get the roasted flavors and aroma from the meat. The plantains are delicious and sweet, and the Yuka fries have the perfect crispy exterior and the nice starchy interior. Don't pass on the black beans; they're super flavorful and while I've had good black beans, these are on a whole new level. The staff was great as well. Roasted chicken cravings don't come often for me, but when they do, Inka Chicken will be at the top of my list. read more

Yass! I was so happy to finally be in the area and try this out. In an unsuspecting area by a sonic burger. I hope they get a lot of traffic. There's a big rice through lane for quick service or you can go in. We opted to go inside and eat. Ordering was confusing upon walking in. I saw the food behind the glass. Nice. I hope it is staying warm. Standing at the end waiting to order, multiple people working there looked at me, but no acknowledgement. Strike one. Finally someone said hello, people were there to order, still, didn't take my order. I was sad at this point. Finally the person comes back from the back and assists us. I was really disappointed in that aspect. Ordered was easy, after the awkward 'why are you here and ordering food' situation went down, but maybe that's how it is there. The chicken was delicious. The plantains were sweet, soft, and amazing. The yuca, was crispy and fried. I loved it. I want to go back but I hope the next encounter is better read more

The beef empanadas are really good with the sauce they provide. Not thrilled with the cheese, as it had powdered sugar on it.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. You can tell the building used to be an old fast food chain restaurant. The interior and exterior are WORN and tired for sure. The inside looks like it was thrown together the baseboards and trim were peeling and warped. The entire place was dirty and tired. Service was good but took 20 mins to get a Togo order. Chicken was ok not great definitely tasted charcoaled but wayyyy too much and tasted like lighter fluid and had absolutely no flavor, the beef empanada was hands down one of the WORST empanada's I've ever had! The dough was soggy and wet, and the filling (what little was in it) reminded me a canned beef chili. The cilantro rice was ok at best but dry, fire roasted corn tasted like lighter fluid from the "grill". I spent $31 and basically should have just put the money in the trash. I will not be returning here at all! read more
