Lomo Saltado dinner size Tacu Tacu de Carne chicha morada
Rana M.

Discovered this place on accident but I am so happy i did. Peruvian spots are pretty rare in of their own, but a good one is even more rare. The food here us spot in and the portions can definitely feed two per plate. The service was fast, straight forward, and they are respectful. And the overall vibes of the restaurant is fantastic as its clean, relaxing, and just enjoyable. Their lomo saltado is fantastic and their chica morada absolutely hits. This is a must try in the area and worth eating fresh at the restaurant.

Tallarín verde
Tim B.

We had lunch here and let me see. The food is absolutely outstanding. We ordered tallarín verde with the breaded chicken and the leche de tigre and both dishes exceededour expectations. The tallarín had so much flavor and went paired with the light green salsa. They give you to add on top. It pushed it over the edge of great flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The leche de tigre was so delicious and milky. The corn nuts that we added into the ceviche made it the perfect combination of cold and crunchy. I'm taking off one star because our waitress wasn't as attentive as she could've been in at times we felt like the service wasn't great. However, the food was delicious. My only suggestion is that the the waiters and waitresses check in on the customers a little bit more during the meal. Overall, it's a clean place with amazing food.

Chicha Morada.
Jeanne W.

Peruvian restaurant near the Haven City Market food hall. It looks small from the outside but is fairly spacious inside with tables that can accommodate both small and large parties. The restaurant itself is located toward the back of the property away from the food court. I ordered Pollo Saltado, Trio de Empanadas as an appetizer, and Chicha Morada to drink. A complimentary warm dinner roll and butter comes with the meal as well as a small container of aji verde. The empanadas consisted of one each of beef, chicken, and cheese. There was a light sprinkling of powdered sugar which I found strange as a topping for a savory appetizer. However, the empanadas came very hot from the fryer, had flaky crusts, and tasted satisfactory. Chicha Morada was refreshing and can be ordered by the pitcher as well as by the glass. The Pollo Saltado tasted good with a nice, soy sauce flavor. It was not too salty. The dish had the perfect ratio of fries and vegetables to protein. Unfortunately, the chicken breast meat it was made with was slightly dry. I would have much preferred dark meat chicken in the preparation. The aji verde sauce did not have much of a heat level but helped to overcome some of the dryness of the chicken. I may or may not return for a future visit as there are so many restaurants in close vicinity. I will mention that service was good and parking is plentiful.

Lomo Saltado dinner size

1/28/26- Dine in visit - Came in for lunch when they just opened ordered the Passion fruit drink , the Peruvian ceviche and these creamy boiled potatoes with hard boiled egg dish and the fried rice and beef dish with potatoes , purple onions and tomatoes served with steam rice . Overall -Everything was excellent and so damn good ! Amazing customer service and delicious food!!! I'd like to come back & try other dishes !! This place is a must & hidden gem.

Good but like I said stingy with sauce

The food was good, and the service was good overall. One exception was a young lady who was very sweet and nice. I dined in and asked for more sauce, but they were very stingy with it. I was told that if I wanted more, I would have to pay extra. That made the experience less enjoyable.

Tallarin Saltado de Carne dinner size

This is our family's go-to Peruvian spot. We are Peruvian American and love find the best of the best when it comes to Peruvian cuisine. Mica's bets out most in the IE. The portions are decent size, price is fair but the flavor - this is what makes it special. It's hard to replicate the authentic Peruvian flavors. It's also common for most restaurants to replace produce, spices and herbs with more common American/ Mexican options (i.e. ajis, aji verdes). Service is usually pretty good; however, it can get busy during dinner and/or weekend rush. We appreciate that the servers have been there for a while and usually recognize us since we are long time supporters. Ambiance is fine- nothing fancy. It's casual dining and it isn't the biggest restaurant. Some of our favorite dishes - Lomo Saltado de Carne, Tallarin Saltado de Carne, Papa La Huancaina, the ceviche is to die for. The flavor is unmatched. For the Latinos and seafood lovers out there - you must try the ceviche. It will blow your socks off and keep you coming back.

Grilled Chicken with salad

I love Peruvian food so when my coworkers brought me here I was way excited! Everything is very authentic and they have a wide variety of menu selection to choose from. Their iced tea is amazing and it is fresh brewed. The restaurant itself seem small from the outside, but it's pretty big on the inside with lots of tables and seats, great for large parties or if you're eating by yourself. The staff is friendly, but I noticed that they can be quite slow. I will still come back because the dishes here are just too good. I ordered Lomo saltado, a popular Peruvian stir-fry, was savory with will balanced sauce and the beef was tender, fries a bit soggy from the sauce, but still we're all very delicious one of my favorite Peruvian dishes that I will continue to order. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Parking is huge so no anxiety there.

Lucuma Ice Cream
Carola S.

We came out here since it was around the corner where we were at and wanted to celebrate the Peruvian way. We got anticuchos, ceviche de pescado, lomo saltados, chicha morada, arroz con pollito y papa la huanciana, jalea de mixto, y lucuma. Everything was delicious. The ceviche was okay. It was the first time I tried mahi mahi as the protein for the ceviche. The leche of the Tigre was alittle too sour. I enjoyed the diverse options on the menu. It def satisfied those cravings and presentation of the food was pretty. For my Arroz con Pollito y papa la hucaina, it was pretty good-the boiled egg and Olive was missing from the dish. The anticuchos were so good as an appetizer. We def wanted to order more of that dish. Service was great! They were very attentive and were able to provide recommendations. Also, the environment was nice and clean. It's next to the food hall and lots of parking available. As a Peruvian, def enjoyed the flavors and how it tasted close to home. Def recommend!

Do they have a happy hour?

I don't believe so. Doesn't seem to be set up for that but I could be wrong. I'd say it's worth the trip for the food even if they don't.

Amazing food and great experience overall…read more The flavors were really authentic and everything we tried was fresh and well prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it a great place to enjoy the meal. Definitely a spot I would come back to and recommend.

I almost kept this to myself, but Lucho deserves to be reconciled …read more Listen to me closely, Rancho Cucamonga. We need to have a serious talk about the absolute wizardry happening right under your noses. ‍ I almost didn't write this review. I seriously debated gatekeeping this spot because I'm terrified that once you all find out about it, the line will be wrapped around the block and I'll never get a table again. But, my therapist tells me I need to be more "sharing," so here we are. This place is the definition of a Hidden Gem. And the man running the show? Lucho. We need to protect Lucho at all costs. Not only is he the owner, but he is also a culinary artist and arguably the one of the nicest human being in the Inland Empire. I have rolled in with a big party (don't ask, long day), and despite the space being on the smaller, cozy side, Lucho didn't blink. He helped us fit everything in like a game of Tetris. The place is spotless, by the way. You could eat off the floor, but please don't, because the plates are much better. A Warning/Disclaimer: If you are in a rush and need food in 3 minutes, go to a drive-thru. This is not fast food; this is fresh food. Everything is made to order. There are no sad heat lamps here keeping burgers warm since 10 AM. Relax, sit down, and wait. It is worth every single tick of the clock. Let's talk about the food (I'm getting emotional just typing this): The Lomo Saltado (The Star): I have eaten Lomo Saltado all over. But Lucho's? It's a flavorful experience. He cooks the steak to absolute perfection--tender, juicy, no chewing gum texture here. But the magic is in the seasoning and how it hits those fries and onions. It is worth every penny. I would pay double. Don't tell him that. Aeropuerto de Pollo (Chicken Fried Rice): I know, I know. You're thinking, "It's just chicken fried rice." WRONG. Stop it. It sounds crazy to rave about rice, but this dish is savory, smoky, and addictive. I planned to eat a few bites and take the rest home. I failed. I ate it all. The Chow Mein: Traditional? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not. There is a "minor twist" in the flavor profile that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes the dish absolutely sing. It's out of this world. Mar y Tierra: If you can't decide between surf or turf, get this. It's the best of both worlds and plated beautifully. I love small businesses like this. You aren't just eating ingredients; you are literally tasting the love and hard work Lucho puts into the pan. It's rare, it's special, and it's delicious. Go visit Lucho. Tip him well. And tell him I said hi and to sing you a song.

We ordered a cafe con leche, iced hot coco, a variety of empanadas, lechon fries, a side of plantains, and their signature Cuban sandwich, and every single bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made to order. The portions were generous (perfect for sharing), and while everything is prepared fresh, it's absolutely worth either ordering ahead or kicking back with one of their delicious drinks while you wait. The service was beyond excellent. Denise, the owner, was incredibly kind and made the experience extra special for our family. Her husband is the talented cook. She even took the time to teach my daughter how to make Cuban coffee, which made the visit so memorable. I'm so glad we found this place. If you're craving authentic, fresh Cuban food, this is it. Even if it's a bit of a drive, make the trip, bring your people, order a spread, and turn it into a feast. We can't wait to come back!

The Lomo Saltado had great flavor, though the beef was slightly overcooked. Still, the seasoning carried the dish. The fries were a standout--crispy and really well done. I was a bit let down by the fish. Since it came with chili, I expected more heat, but the chili sauce ended up being pretty bland. That was probably the weakest part of the meal. One surprise was the special: a stromboli at a Peruvian restaurant. It definitely caught me off guard, but it was actually really well made. I'm guessing they lean into some fusion here, which I'm totally open to. We wrapped things up with tiramisu, which was tasty and a nice way to end the meal--even if it added to the overall "eclectic" vibe. All in all, it's an interesting mix of flavors and styles.

But it was more than the food; it was the service that made it so memorable. Our family had just arrived in Claremont for the first time; didn't know the area and were starving. Saw Inka Trails on Yelp and thought it looked good but it was about to close in 30 mins so we called to check if we could still make it. The lady who answered the phone was warm and welcoming, telling us to come on by. What followed was some of the most delicious food I've had, on par with Michelin-starred restaurants I have had the pleasured to dine at in Bangkok, San Sebastian, Paris...It was home cooking with the best ingredients - you can taste the freshness of the fish and vegetables and the fragrance of the herbs. Highly recommend the fish rice soup, the fried fish and fish stew in tomato broth. It was serious one of the best meals we have had. So the food was 5 stars, but what made me write this review was the owner Patty. She was warm and gracious. Asked us what brought us to Claremont and when we told her we were there to tour colleges, she was kind to share her insights on the school, experiences with the students, told us about safety and transits in the area. Remember this was all after the restaurant was already scheduled to be closed for the evening. We were never rushed and Patty was sincere and kind. As a frequent traveler and woman in business, I appreciate that. The experience was a highlight of our college visits and I hope to return to Inka Trails for another spectacular meal soon in the near future.

The Empanada was filled with seasoned beef, olives, and hard boiled eggs. The filling was flavorful although the crust was more tender than crisp. It could have used some additional time to attain a decent outer crust. Pollo Saltado consisted of a large portion of tender, boneless chicken, stir fried with French fries and onion and served with steamed rice. It was delicious accompanied by the rice but was very salty from the soy sauce by itself. (This is an extremely common occurrence with this particular dish due to the varying salinity level of different soy sauce brands.) Since the saltado had a good overall flavor, if I were to order this again, I would recommend requesting that the food be made with a little less soy sauce. A dinner roll and butter blend was also served with this meal. The Chicha Morada I ordered as a beverage was delightfully delicious and refreshing from the mix of various fruit juices. The waitstaff were polite and efficient. There were no problems for me as for the service. The restaurant is freeway close to the 10 and there are plenty of parking spaces in the lot. Most of their business seems to be take out but dining in is also a good option. The video stereo system, providing the background music, played some nice tracks which made for an enjoyable experience. I would definitely entertain a return visit soon.
