    Seco a la Norteña (beef stew with rice and canary beans)
    Jacob P.

    The food was great, and the waitress was very helpful in explaining dishes I was not familiar with (I think she recognized that I probably had an inaccurate picture of seco in my head when I heard it described as "beef stew", and she was right haha). I did wish the seco came with a little more broth, but it was still delicious. The pop/soda is fountain, not can, so there are refills. The atmosphere was nice; the booths and tables are not too crowded together, and the music is an interesting blend of Spanish- and English language songs. I'll definitely be back to try more food.

    Chips and unique Peruvian salsa.

    This is a very good Peruvian restaurant focusing on the standards. We had Lomo saltado and Seco Ala nortena. Both were nicely prepared with quality ingredients. The beef in the seco was very tender and flavorful, the beans were excellent. An unexpected surprise was the free chips and carrot salsa. It had a wonderfully sharp flavor. The tamal was a bit disappointing. It was dry and had a floury taste. We will definitely come back. We highly recommend Pollos Inka.

    Foood was delicious! So glad we decided to stop by this spot. I thought the Peruvian chicken was flavorful and authentic. When you dine in you get free chips and salsa. We also ordered yuca, pupusa con queso, and black beans. Service was great! I will be back

    No contact pickup.

    This Peruvian chicken place has always been great with juicy, flavorful chicken and generous sides. They have adapted to COVID-19 with phone ordering and a safe takeout waiting area. If you want fast, affordable and healthy, this is the place!

    This was my second visit and a much better food experience. The meal was delicious. We eat inside and unfortunately had to wait over 45 minutes for the meal. I noticed a lot of people coming to the restaurant for take out and there were others inside that were waiting a long time for the food. The wait staff was kind and the live music was a pleasant surprise. They don't have music every night but it helped with the atmosphere.

    For years I wanted to try this place but never got around to doing so. After reading recent Yelp reviews, I convinced my husband to give it a try. We were here on a Saturday around 5 p.m. At that time of day, business was slow. A server greeted us in Spanish at first, then switched to English. He told us to sit wherever we wanted. There were 2 TVs with the sound muted. Each one was showing a different program. The background music was salsa and my husband told me he thought the music sounded like it was Puerto Rican, and I concurred. Each meal comes with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and crispy plus the salsa had just enough spice. Before coming here, we looked at the menu online so we knew what we wanted to try. For an appetizer, we shared a cheese pupusa. We both enjoyed it and it came with a generous amount of slaw plus the tomato sauce had a bit of a kick to it. To drink, we both got Inca Kola. For my main course, I chose chaufa de res (chaufa rice with beef). The portion was very generous. However, this dish was a disappointment. While the rice had good flavor, it was very dry. The beef was inconsistent---some pieces were tender, others were dried out and bland. My husband got the 1/4 chicken rotisserie dinner. He chose dark meat and for his sides, he chose rice and beans. He said the chicken was moist but the skin was a bit too salty. The beans were very bland. As he put it, nothing to write home about. Maybe we didn't order the right items. Yet, neither of us is inclined to go back and try other things. Service was good, the waiter was low key and unobtrusive. Before the tip, dinner cost $30.05. As we were leaving, the place got busy and they were getting set up for live music.

    Bisteck a lo pobre with a sub of yuca (under the steak) instead of fries.  MUST TRY!
    Umar T.

    The food here was absolutely spectacular! The lower 4 star rating is more for the decor, although not exactly "welcoming" for a native of the Northern Virginia eats, the food more than makes up for it. My orders were the cheese and bean fill papusa's for appetizers. This was an amazing app as it came with what seemed I be coleslaw and red hot sauce. Definitly combine the 2 on the papusa's as it really brings out the hidden flavors of the bread/corn meal. For my entree I ordered the bistek lo pobre which consisted of salad, rice, fried plantains, flank steak (rather large portion) and fries (which is subbed for yuca). I must say, the flavor of the steak and rice was exceptional and I will continue to frequent here as I have other entrees and apps I would love to try.

    I've been on a pupusa kick lately and when I found out this Peruvian restaurant made pupusas I definitely had to try it. Seriously, the pupusas here are really good. A lot better than some I've had at actual Salvadorian restaurants. The way they prepare them is perfect. They come out hot and oozing with cheese and not overly greasy, at all. I like to come here for their lunch deal: 3 cheese pupusas (or pork and cheese) and a 16 oz soda with free refills for $6.49 + tax. A great lunch deal since the pupusas are a decent size and I get full after a pupusa and a half. The cabbage that come with it is the best I've had. It really goes well with the pupusas along with the spicy tomato sauce. The alfaores are a nice treat. It's around like $3 a cookie but seriously worth it. The shortbread is super soft and flaky and the dulce de leche melts in your mouth. It's probably better to eat with a glass of milk since it's so soft and get stuck to the roof of your mouth, but really delicious. I would definitely recommend coming during lunch hour when they have their specials. I ordered the same amount of pupusas around dinner time once and it came out to almost $9 by themselves. I'm looking forward to trying the other dishes they have as well.

    The saucier the better... I'll be back for the Peruvian breakfast... meanwhile, I tried the pollo a la brasa and was not impressed with the dry chicken. I did not appreciate the lack of creamy yellow mayonnaise-y dressing. The chicken came with white and green dressing. The white was ranch dressing. No me gusto. The green was fine. The waitress brought a red dressing as well. This dressing was pure "aji" or chili paste. Very HOT! Cleared my Eustachian tubes out! For those who care about this sort of thing, there were mostly Peruvians eating at this Peruvian restaurant. The atmosphere was typical with three TVs showing "football" satellite TV, and there were lots of tables and chairs for the configurations of families out for their Sunday meal. In keeping with the nuances of cultural expertise, I must point out that the queso used was not "en point" as it was not from Peru. On the other hand, the Papas de Huancaina had the right kind of sauce. Creamy, pale yellow and covering the potatoes like a fondant. I liked the prices until they charged us $3.99 for extra Huancaina sauce. Considering that the actual dish cost $5.99, it was a rip-off. The giant corn (choclo) with cheese sticks was $4.49, the half chicken with yuca fries was $8.40, and the fruit pudding dessert of Mazamorra (purple, jello-like with prunes and apricots) was $2.99. This place comes with props from real Peruvians so, as I said, I'll be back to try more of the menu. Plus, this place provides non-generic food out in the wilds of Sterling!

    Polo saltado!  So good.

Chicken is moist and flavorful. It comes with 2 sauces the green one is spicy and the yellow one is creamy and mild. You can choose to get a quarter, half or whole chicken with or without sides. I usually always get Yucca fries and plantains. I just love the crunchy yucca and sweet plantains. Sometimes they change up the menu on other items...this last visit they started to offer burritos. The guys behind the counter are very fast and efficient. You can either sit inside or outside. It can get pretty crowded during peak lunch hours. We've always been able to find a seat though, as people eat and leave. And I avoid peak times. Lots of to go orders as well.

The chicken is flavorful, juicy, and delicious and you get two sides with a 1/4 chicken, with the portions being huge. My son, who has a big appetite loves coming here because he eats like he has a hollow leg and he actually gets full. You cannot go wrong with the chicken, at all. If you order any of the other dishes, it's usually a surprise to the workers and it takes some time. I ordered Pollo Saltado once, and it took almost 40 minutes to come out, and it was good, but tough to eat on a styrofoam plate, so I order that at some of my other favorite Peruvian places (Pollos Inti), but if I just want to take down a chicken, this is the place for me. The sides range from fries, yucca, plantains, white rice, fried rice, cole slaw, veggies, and beans- I love all of them. The sauces are great- if you're familiar with Peruvian chicken places, you'll like the green and yellow sauces. I only wish I could just have a bottle of the sauce when I'm eating in the restaurant because I use a lot of it. Once in a while you have a language barrier issue, especially if you're not ordering chicken, but someone usually helps you out, either another employee or customer. I'll use Google translate if I have to, because when I want that good chicken, I won't be stopped!
