    This place wasn't bad. I didn't like that when I came I was sat all the way in the back..I've been here before and that never happened before so I'm going to give it a pass this time.

    This family owned restaurant is tucked next to Goodwill. It's so cute inside with both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a separate menu and weekend brunch menu. I had the Lomo Saltado and it was delicious! Tender chucks of meat with red onions, tomatoes and French fries. My husband had the picante Mariscos and it was a lovely, spicy cheesy dish of yummy seafood and tender calamari. The server was so nice and attentive. You need to try this local restaurant.

    We patronize Micas fairly regularly. Most recently, we visited in February for lunch. The food is routinely very good, but on this visit it was even better. Super tasty and fresh. We had the Loma Saltaldo and mixed empanadas. Both items were fantastic. Regarding the service, it was average, and could be improved by the servers checking in more frequently to refill drinks and see if customers need anything thing else. It's not uncommon we have to flag them down. Otherwise, another above average experience. Regarding the interior, it remains in good condition.

    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.

    Had lunch today had the dinner portion which is $10 more than lunch special but so much worth it. Side of yucca and plantains. We love Peruvian cuisine and Micas was no different food was delicious, large servings and excellent service. Clean with nice decor Usually we go to the food court next door. Highly recommended

    Chicha Morada.

    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.

    Tallarín verde

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Our first time here, the food, service, and ambience were so impressive that we just know we'll be back. Our party of 4 chose to sit outside since we could avoid a wait. We really enjoyed the quiet, roomy backyard vibe. Sometimes when seated outside in restaurants, service can be lacking due to distance. But not here! Our waiter was so on it! Personable, checked on us regularly, and brought all the extras. Our drinks were delicious! Really unique, refreshing flavors. The squishiest rolls were brought to the table: mmm! The dipping sauce was surprisingly spicy, but so flavorful! Each of us really enjoyed our orders. The flavors were fresh, popping with flavor. Our dishes were plentiful and we all left with happy, full bellies. Overall, a great experience. We'll be back!

    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.

Nice menu, and a pretty adorable server who spoke little English. That's OK. I spotted things on the menu I knew I would love. After all, this is not my first Peruvian rodeo! Aguadito de Pollo - aka a green chicken soup. The broth is incredibly green, the result of pulverized cilantro to which have been added generous amounts of chicken, rice, vegetables, Peruvian corn, ginger. Lovely tasting, and welcoming on a Winter's day. The bowl was huge. Half was destined to come home with me. Tamales peruano, chicken. My personal favorite amongst all tamales from our southern neighbors, the masa is more refined, tender and moist. The masa was seasoned impeccably and had tender chunks of chicken throughout, not to mention the mandatory black olive and slice of hard boiled egg on top, all wrapped in a rectangle with a banana leaf, then steamed. Mmmmm. So good! Perfecto. Lastly, the Milanesa de pollo. This is an entire boneless chicken breast that has been breaded with delicate panko crumbs, and perfectly fried to keep the chicken very moist and tender. It covered the entire platter, but was served with rice and some insanely perfect fries that I dare anyone to just eat one. This comes highly recommended. The crowning touch was the thinly sliced red onions that have been soaked to remove the harsh onion flavor then marinated in lime juice. These came with the tamale and the milanesa and are completely irresistable. Yes, eat them with abandon! This was a great discovery. Even though the dining area is just a few tables, I have no hesitation in saying we will enthusiastically return with our family in tow.

The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish.

The other dish we tried was the lomo saltado - beef with rice and fries. Also a very good option if you prefer rice/fries over pasta.

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.
