    I love Peruvian food and our friend suggested this place. A little far up the hill for me but was well worth the trip! They are related to El Pollo Inka !! I believe their presentation is better on the plates.

    Simple decoration Peruvian restaurant (family style) but the food flavor is so so so complex and delicious . Every dish that we tried were all on point. My ceviche: Chef kiss, fresh seafood and right amount of sourness. Fried rice: Perfect seasoning, they give generous family styled portions and you can togo after, still go after the next day. First time trying Maricos? Soup. Not every Peruvian restaurant can make this dish. Mhm, it was so addictive I cant stop eating. Creamy flavor but not overpowering, must try!! With rice and thats all, its not salty or sweet. Perfect amount of savory. A lot of people buy togo but we enjoyed the time when we were dining in here. Very clean restaurant. Price is reasonable. I want to try their lomo saltado but we were both so full lol

    Quick restaurant where you order at the front. The food came out in under 5 minutes and it was tasty. They had booth seating and there were self serve fountain drinks. The marisco saltado was yummy and it came with fish, calamari, and shrimp. It was a little onion heavy, but otherwise very flavorful. The textures mixed nicely. I was also a fan of the rice and it also came with the chicken soup. I'd definitely return and try the other dishes.

    The good: I ordered almost $500 in catering for my kid's first birthday. It was easy to do by phone and I appreciate the worker's help with explaining dishes to me and recommending the quantity. I had one dish too many ordered and when I asked if I had ordered too much for 20 people he said I could afford to lose the salad or appetizer. I did and am glad because it would've definitely been too much. We ordered three half orders (yuca, potatoes and yellow sauce and plantains) and 3 full orders (lomo saltado, ceviche mixto, and fried rice). Many guests complimented the food and enjoyed it. The bad: I wish there was a label to tell us which sauce (we had 4 different ones) went with which dish. The interesting: Some of my guests thought the cuisine was Asian fusion.

    I tried Inka Wasi two consecutive days. I had the Pescado A Lo Macho and Lomo Saltado both were delicious. I ate take out, but they have a nice dining area. I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

    They food was really delicious. It was full of flavor and prepared in good time. The server was very friendly and polite. The restaurant is very clean. I saw many people ordering takeout but sitting there was nice. There is also outdoor seating as well. Great place I found while staying

    No BS Peruvian cuisine, delicious and well priced. You can see the flame while they cook; and taste it in your food - the smoky fire flavor that enhances the aroma and taste! You get a small soup on the side with every dish + their house green sauce which complements the dishes well. Favorites are the tallarin and lomo saltado.

    Good food but it's getting pricey. Almost $23

    What are the vegan options?

    Yes! They can make any dish with Impossible, tofu, vegetables, or just hold the meat. Most entrees are vegan with vegan protein, like the saltados and tallarines, and the chaufa (fried rice) can be made without egg. Lots of good options!

    Do they have Live music?

    No. This is a casual fast-food Peruvian place.

Or Lomo Saltado is you prefer beef which I normally do but in this case I recommend the chicken. There are 4 or 5 El Pollo Inkas in the SouthBay so its a local favorite. This review is only for the Hermosa restaurant but all the locations are great. It's located on PCH at Aviation Blvd so its pretty easy to find. There is a medium sized parking lot but it is a very busy center so parking can be difficult sometimes. We both had the Pollo Saltado which comes with a cup of chicken soup and fresh rolls. The Saltado is shredded rotisserie chicken grilled w/ onions, tomatos, french fries and is served with garlic rice. I know, I know french fries & rice but believe me it works so wonderfully. And you must drench it in the Aji sauce, it's a magical thing and I put it on everything! The staff is friendly and the store is very neat and clean. Something that extends to the parking lot which is always well lit. If you need to walk off the meal there is a Trader Joe's & Five Below in the center.

The order was delayed 45 min and no one even felt bad about it. Get our order and the two whole chickens look suspiciously like one chicken. And they gave us the wrong order and when I called, the guy on the phone says it's basically the same thing. Nope. Chicken is not beef. And when I mentioned the major delay (which delayed our dinner) and the wrong item, no apology. I guess years of loving the place, I approached our disappointment with a light touch but maybe that gave them the impression I was okay with their delay, and their oversight of actually messing up our order. The prices have gone up and the quality and portion size has decreased and while I am slow to share reviews where I express my disappointment, it was such a bummer from a long beloved restaurant that I felt the need to update my 8 year old 4 star review.

I went with the oxtail fettuccine and it came out as expected! Though, some oxtail was chewy instead of tender and the fettuccine was pretty standard. Serving sizes were huge, so all of us took home leftovers, which was nice! Kinda got 2 meals in one lol. We also got some maracuyá (passion fruit) juice that was refreshing. Just note you'll need to ask for ice on the side if you want it cold. Overall a solid spot for a chill family dinner. Would come back if I'm in the area.

We came in as a party of 7 and had a RESERVATION to celebrate my friend's birthday, spending over $250, but the service and atmosphere completely ruined the evening. First, the security guard was an awful host--demanding a $10 service charge after one hour into our meal. Shortly after, our waitress did the exact same thing. On top of the forced extra charges, the flavor profile was noticeably off compared to other Pollo Inka locations we've been to. No bread was offered and they removed it from the menu! To make matters worse, after being seated directly in the dancing section, we were asked to leave for not paying an additional "dancing cover fee" that was never disclosed to us beforehand. Treating paying customers--especially a large group celebrating a special occasion--with such hostility and continuous hidden fees is unacceptable. We won't be returning.
