We had Inka Grill for our office lunch today…read more I had Peruvian food from this restaurant a very very long time and it wasn't memorable so I haven't been back since. Well, I was surprised today how good that was. We had some salad, grilled steak and fries, grilled chicken and fries, stir fried veggies and fries, ground beef empanadas, and vegetarian empanadas. Everything was good. Steak and fries, the meat wasn't super tender but not too bad. Beef empanadas were good but they were fried instead of baked. Stir fried veggies with French fries was really good. Everyone enjoyed the foods.

I ordered through Grubhub: one order of spinach empanadas and two orders of huancaína potatoes…read more Unfortunately, the meal fell short from start to finish. The empanadas arrived with the lime sauce spilled all over it, leaving it a little soggy instead of warm and crispy. The flavor itself was decent, but the texture completely took away from the experience. Both orders of the huancaína potatoes were cold. One of them felt like it had been taken straight out of the refrigerator. At $13.65 per order, that's simply unacceptable. I contacted Grubhub and was offered a $10 credit, which doesn't come close to addressing the issue, considering I paid $27.30 for food I had to reheat myself. Overall, extremely disappointing. For the price, I expected far better quality and basic attention to food temperature and packaging.

So skip the Alfajores Box. Get the Sweet Passion dessert. It was a syrup infused chocolate cake slice with lucuma ice cream (so delicious). The staff were friendly and attentive.

Four of us went to SUP Noodle Bar in Irvine on a Tuesday evening. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and…read moremanaged to snag the last available table without a wait. Judging by how quickly the place filled up, coming much later would probably have been a different story. The Food Between the four of us, we ordered the Parmesan Fries, two variations of pho, the Filet Mignon Fried Rice, and the Cajun Garlic Noodles. The Parmesan Fries were a very generous portion, exceptionally crispy, beautifully seasoned, and--in terms of flavor--just about perfect. My only complaint was that they were noticeably oily. Other than that, I couldn't find much fault with them. The Filet Mignon Pho was a treat. The beef was exactly as promised: tender and flavorful. What surprised me was the distinct kiss of cinnamon in the broth. Personally, I would have preferred to suspect the cinnamon rather than clearly taste it, but that's entirely a matter of preference. My wife loved every bite. I also managed to steal a taste of the Filet Mignon Fried Rice. While I certainly didn't regret my own order, I immediately knew what I'll be having next time. The filet was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the rice had a beautifully rounded, savory flavor. A real winner. My Cajun Garlic Noodles were excellent. The sauce had just the right consistency--rich and creamy, yet still delicate enough that the garlic and seasoning weren't buried underneath it. It was certainly on the heavier side, but somehow managed not to leave me feeling weighed down afterward. Rich without becoming exhausting is not an easy balance to strike. The Atmosphere SUP has a modern, distinctly Asian noodle-bar feel. Hard surfaces, no carpeting, and very little acoustic dampening mean that, in polite restaurant language, the atmosphere is lively. In less polite restaurant language: it's loud. That didn't bother us, and it actually suited the casual, energetic atmosphere. But I probably wouldn't choose SUP for a quiet, intimate dinner--or for hearing a lengthy story in which every single word matters. The Service This was the standout. We were not the world's easiest table. Between four first-time customers, individual likes and dislikes, questions about the menu, and various dietary requirements, we gave our waiter plenty to work with. Chase was patient throughout. He explained things, repeated things when necessary, answered our questions, and helped guide each of us toward something that suited us. By the end of dinner, all four of us were convinced we'd ordered the right thing. I'm fairly difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant service, but Chase impressed me. This isn't fine dining, nor should it be judged as such. What stood out was something much simpler: at every opportunity, Chase did a little more than was required of him. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and patient without ever making us feel that we were being difficult. That deserves recognition. The Bottom Line We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and our evening at SUP Noodle Bar. The food was flavorful and well prepared, portions were generous, and the service--particularly from Chase--was exceptional. The only caveat I would mention is the noise level, and that certainly won't stop me from returning. In fact, I already know what I'm ordering next time: That Filet Mignon Fried Rice. --- And Then, Two Days Later... Well, that didn't take long. Two days after writing this review, I was back. My daughter ordered the Filet Mignon Fried Rice I'd been planning to have, so, in the interest of not ordering the same thing, I changed course and ordered the Pho Anthony Bourdain. An instant classic. Absolutely delicious--and now I have a new problem: too many great things to choose from. You won't hear me complain. That's a pretty good problem to have.

I've seen Inka Mamas here over quite a few years. It's located at the Aliso Creek Towne Center…read moreclose to the movie theater. It's a small little place with a nice Peruvian Themed interior and a menu with everything you'd want in the Peruvian cuisine. For starters I saw some people around having the Chicharron De Pollo which is fried chicken pieces and it looked really good so I had to find it a try. It was simple, tasty and came with some fried Yucca so you can't go wrong with that start. Now it may sound basic but I love a good Lomo Saltado (beef with fries) as it's a staple in most Peruvian cuisine. The beef was nice and tender and the sauce itself had a nice little spicy kick to it. I made sure to add a side of plantain potatoes which is always something I have to get with any Peruvian dish. Last and final dish I had to try is the Tallarines Verde with Chicken. Again, another staple in the cuisine which is the breaded and fried chicken with green basil sauce and spaghetti. I always make sure to add extra green sauce that's at the table to give it a stronger kick to it but this was another tasty dish that I certainly enjoyed. Service was good and attentive as well, and worthy of giving it a shot when in the area.

The pepperoni sausage empanada wasn't my favorite but I think it was also because I was expecting it to be more of a cheesey cheese pull situation. Excited to try more empanadas!

Stellar Service and Exquisite Food!…read more I came into Villa Roma for dinner around 6:00 PM, absolutely famished. I was thrilled to be seated right away and given the choice of where to sit. My waitress was a beautiful, bilingual, and incredibly friendly woman named Berenice. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and clearly has a wonderful rapport with the regulars and locals. Taking her recommendation, I ordered the Entraña steak dinner plate (cooked medium) with a side of crunchy garlic fries, along with empanadas and fried calamari to start. The pacing of the meal was fantastic. The empanadas were brought out immediately, followed closely by the calamari. The flavors were so exquisite that I completely cleared both appetizer plates while enjoying my water! My main entrée arrived very shortly after. Because I enjoyed the starters so much, I was too full to finish it, but I tasted the steak and a few fries. The steak was perfectly soft and absolutely delicious! I packed the rest to-go, and ended up ordering two extra meat empanadas and a Coke Zero (partly because I needed to break a $20 bill so I could leave a cash tip!). In total, everything came out to $93.72, including the tip. I don't treat myself to a meal out like this even once every three months, but I am so glad I came. The entire staff works seamlessly together to make sure all customers are attended to super fast. I am officially a huge fan and will absolutely be back--especially for their half-price empanada Tuesdays and buy-one-get-one-free pizza Wednesdays. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Stopped in this week for a quick lunch. This place was my go-to while living in the area a few…read moreyears ago. I ordered some empanadas to start and the choripan with a side of ensalada rusa. Empanadas: Spinach empanada, the filling was to wet, too milkiy spinach not trimmed enough, and it tasted worse since it was fried. Had they controlled the picadillo prep, it wouldn't be milky. Chicken empanada- This did not taste as our traditonal empanadas, way too many spices and it was spicy, we do not do spicy, we do flavor. Chicken tasted sandy. Choripan: Poor meat quality, too chewy and grainy, I felt like I was eating sand. Bread overdone. Rusa: Bland. Overpriced for what you get and for the quality of the food. Keep it authentic, don't re-invent the wheel. I give it 2 stars for still having some great products at the market, free parking and pleasant service, but my goodness, your prices are too high compared to other Argentina establishments.
