i have ordered pollo saltado tacos many times i never write a review. But...those tacos are to die for. well done Red Panka!!!

The cashier was rude . Attitude was not welcoming or friendly what SO ever . My friend got the beef fried rice and we got panko fries , empanada trio, wontons and stuffed avacado. 60 dollars worth of food . As you pay your requested to pay tip which for the service I was expecting , you pay like everyone else . They do not bring out your food to you . Don't know if it's this location in particular but wasn't a fan of the service . Food was interesting but would never do indoor dining again there . read more

Ambience - Casual and clean. Food - Tasty and pricey for the portion size. Service - Friendly and light. read more

I arrived at the restaurant, on a Wednesday, the kitchen area is wide open all staff members can see when customers walk in, than being said, the saw me and the girl behind the counter as well, and no one greeting me, I stay there ready to order , they both saw me and didn't greet me or acknowledged me. So I waited for two more minutes to see if one of them would ask what I want to order but they didn't. So I left. I'm super disappointed of my experience definitely not going back ever. This was a much different experience from my first one. But also explains why the restaurant was empty , no one else dining, who would when the employees don't care for the customer. Subway is next door and was very busy. I learned my lesson. Good luck to you trying this restaurant. read more

Red Panka - Lomo Saltado Bowl - Peruvian Near Me - Redlands, California

Food is great, however the cashier needs to work on her customer service. My first time coming here. I asked one question about the difference in their burritos and she visibly got upset. Slow blinking and a condescending tone. Description: on the younger side, black hair, and black long sleeve shirt. Time: 8:01pm. Edit: random pink dot on a stem? Feels like plastic. Not sure what it could be. read more

Ordered food online and went to pick up. Was disappointed that I paid for steak and onions. Flavor was good. A bit too salty, but I bet it would have went well with all the other condiments that were supposed to go in it. I was in a rush, being on my lunch break so I didn't double check my order. Disappointed. read more

Red Panka is bringing traditional Peruvian dishes to the area while inviting new people with tacos and burritos (filled with Peruvian meats). I was excited to find this gem while at an appt at Loma Linda. I'm sad I didn't find this sooner. There's space to sit down and have lunch, it's an order at the counter type place. It's clean and the decor is a mix of fun and traditional. As a business, I think they've done great to introduce the area to Peruvian food. & Customer service was good. Now the food: we tried most of the menu! To start we tried the papa ala huancaina, a cold potato dish served with a creamy spicy cheese sauce on top. The flavor was great, it's a simple dish. If you want it spicier, you can always ask for the aji verde, green hot sauce. We also had the causa, it's a layered cold appetizer dish made with a spicy, lime mashed potato layer, layer of chicken salad and avocado, another layer of the potatoes. They topped theirs with mayo and chopped tomatoes. I loved the mashed potato, it was perfect. I do wish there was more chicken. Also it would have been nice to have less mayo on top and maybe avocado on top too. This is commonly served with salsa criolla, pickled red onion, that would have been good as well. One thing they excel at is how they treat their beef. The bistec and the lomo were incredible. The meat was so tender and flavorful. They definitely don't cheap out on the cut of meat and it was very appreciated. The flavors of the lomo saltado and camaron saltado were on point, loved the soy sauce flavor. This is a stir fried beef dish with tomatoes, onion and French fries. My only complaint was that the French fries used in the dish seemed old. The tallarines verde is a creamy Peruvian pesto pasta. It was good but I wished there was a little more basil flavor. I would definitely order again! The platanos and yuca were also very good. I can't wait to come back and try their ceviche and arroz chaufa. read more

Red Panka has been a longtime favorite of mine; I used to come here often when I worked in the area, and it's still just as good as I remember! Their bowls, wraps, lomo saltado, aji sauce, and yucca fries are all delicious and full of flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and care about consistency. One tip: definitely call ahead or order early ; they stay busy for a reason! Everything is always worth the wait. Still one of the best spots for flavorful, satisfying Peruvian food. Highly recommend! read more

Extremely appealing location that is like a hole in the wall. There are nice lights outside that makes it great at night. Unfortunately, it does tend to get extremely busy during lunch time so ordering ahead is always a good idea. The food is amazing although they do charge extra for the aioli sauce which is something that I don't remember them doing in the past. I am vegetarian and there's quite a few options for me. I especially enjoy the tofu saltado plate which is very filling and the tofu is cooked just right with a slight crisp. read more

We stopped by today for lunch because we were in the area. The reviews were really good so we wanted to give it a try! I ordered the beef lomo saltado plate. It was delicious! I was even able to take some home for leftovers. The gentleman at the front was very kind and helpful. We will for sure be coming back! read more

Think of a better version Chipotle, but with Peruvian flavors and the color scheme of Jimmy Johns, then you've got Red Panka. Bowls, burritos, tacos, and salads, all packed with flavorful sauces, Red Panka is a great option for when you want something fast, but don't want to feel guilty afterwards. I got the shrimp Panka bowl and thought the aji sauce had a decent kick. They also include a pretty generous drizzle on top, so if you're slightly sauce-averse like myself, consider asking for it on the side. My bowl was a little lacking on the amount of shrimp, but they were well seasoned and grilled to perfection. Next time I might ask for more lettuce and less rice, to meet my preferences. They offer 2 types of bowls which have the same base (romaine lettuce, rice--white or brown, and beans--black or pinto) but the Panka style features a corn salsa vs the Peruvian style which has sautéed tomato and red onion. A surprisingly amount of variety for pescatarian and and vegetarian options here (ceviche, shrimp, tofu saltado, quinoa salads, plantains, etc). Don't expect much in terms of ambiance, but the food will keep you coming back for more. read more

Food is fairly good although portions have been reduced the last time we went. I have tried twice to order via telephone for pick up and both times I have been left on hold. Customer service is not good and they do not have friendly attitudes. But we go bc like I mentioned before the food is pretty good. read more

Zero review! Bad attitudes and refuse to exchange the foods. The owner (probably is a mother) she eye rolled and told cashier no negotiation with us (customers). Foods ok but their service SUCKS and is ugly, just need to work on that. If they want to pull more customers! Even McDonald's has way better service than whatever this place has. read more

I'd like to start by saying that we come to this place for the food, not the service. The young woman at the front is consistently unprofessional and often has a poor attitude. Today, she apparently made my burrito with steak, but when I pointed out that there was barely any in it, her first response was, "Where's the rest of the burrito?" I explained that I had taken a few bites to realize there was hardly any steak, at which point she opened the burrito, picked out a small piece of steak, and said, "Here's your steak." I asked if she thought that amount was reasonable for the size of the burrito, and she responded with attitude, saying, "I made it, and our cameras show I put steak in it." She then called her boss, who apparently told her that, since the cameras showed steak was added, they couldn't do anything about it. When I asked if she could remake the burrito, as she had already taken it apart, she refused. At that point, I was genuinely upset. I can't understand how a place would go as far as picking through a customer's food just to prove them wrong, then refuse to make it right. It's concerning that both the owner and employees seem okay with expecting a customer to eat food they've picked through. I genuinely hope she finds happiness, as she seems so unhappy and clearly dislikes her job. I hope the owner gains a better understanding of the food industry if he genuinely believes it's acceptable for his employee to pick through a customer's food and still expect them to eat it. read more

Food was very good, the portions are really big so come hungry ! The polvorones are a must they are melt in your mouth delicious! Wanting some now ! read more

The food was delicious and service was pretty quick. I am definitely going to come back.

Ordered original pollo saltado and tallarin pollo saltado waiting on my order since 7:20pm Young man chose to touch trashcan then proceeded to step on stove and clean over head at 7:34pm without WASHING HIS HANDS he began to cook my dinner. I was sitting in front the whole time, have been coming here without any issues for last two years and service has always been excellent. Today when I asked politely if he could wash his hands prior to cooking my meal all I received was denial, disrespect and attitude Will not be coming back when this young man is working here read more

Red Panka - Original Lomo Saltado Plate - Peruvian Near Me - Redlands, California

Food is incredible. Super flavorful and you can't find it anywhere else around. Service, however leaves something to be desired. Every time we call to put in an order, we are left on hold for a long time and sometimes hung up on. We have experienced our order being made incorrectly a couple times, and it's pretty inconsistent with portioning. The tofu saltado bowl is my favorite and sometimes there is way less tofu than other times. The food takes a long time to be made but is definitely worth it. Online ordering is an option, however, I wish there was a function for adding special requests like omitting ingredients. read more

Great customer service, I ordered pick up and they communicate very well. They make the food to order so it adds a level of freshness. It nice to have quick access to Peruvian food. read more

Red pink is a good almost fast food option of Peruvian food. The meals are usually ready quickly after you order them. I like to order the Lado wrap. I'm one of those people that can't stand cilantro so I'm able to get it without and I usually add a little extra steak to it. The steak is tender and the sauce they put on it is what makes the wrap! Try it if you haven't! read more

I use to love this place but it definitely has gone downhill. The customer service and food has taken a huge dive. Yesterday I called I was told to hold and got put on hold for 7 minutes then hung up on. Called back and no one answers. This happens often. Went there in person and the kids working there are just hanging out and gave me attitude like I'm bothering them by ordering. The food use to taste fresher and better. If I was the owner, I'd fire the staff and get a new crew. This place has a ton of potential and the kids working here are ruining your business. read more

though we showed up and there was an hour left till closing they said all food had to be to go. Food is always good but that was not how we planned our date night to be. read more

The restaurant is very clean and has a nice ambiance. The menu is extensive and the food was well prepared, high quality, and beautifully presented. I enjoyed a quinoa salad with chicken and lots of vegetables. The cilantro lime dressing was light and added just the right touch. My daughter and I enjoyed our meal. We'll eat there again! read more

Located near the AT&T store in West Redlands boulevard, this place is a unique restaurant. I came here yesterday with my family to order a saltado and the restaurant was quiet. I remember seeing the menu when I first walked in. I tried their saltado and ceviche and both of them weren't bad. The only thing that I would say is that their aji is meh. The aji is sort of lacking in spice or something, but maybe that's just a personal preference. xD Anyway I'm still grateful that I came here and I would like to thank Red Panka for having me. :) Pros: The food was delicious, the restaurant itself is very clean and they were playing some salsa music I think. Cons: The aji I'm afraid... :/ (P.S. I've never heard of a tofu saltado before. What a great idea!) read more

Very delicious food and fast service for take out! Love being able to order ahead. You can watch them cool over the wok in the back.

The food is decent but Reading the reviews know wonder the sassy platinum blonde kid has a horrible attitude towards the customers, he's the owners kid and they practice the same service. It's suppose to be a professional establishment but clearly they don't value their returning customers who keep them in business. Definitely not coming back till they hire a better staff. That kid wants to clap in my face, he has no idea how lucky he is to be behind that counter and on camera Cause my guy one day you gonna try the right one read more

We ordered waited over 30 minutes to get our food. We go and ask for it and she says oh I forgot to put order. No apology no excuses at all. Our order finally came and they didn't even bring to our table. Left a very bad taste. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Save yourself the trouble, time, arguments. I am a just person and stopped in. After ordering 3 things I sat down for 20 MINUTES waiting for my order and being one of the only people in there. I live in a different city so it isn't easy for me to take time out of my day to return things. Return things you may ask. YES. EVERY SINGLE THING WAS WRONG! I asked for a burrito bowl and got a burrito. Ordered chicken and got tofu. ORDERED FRIED PLANTAINS AND GOT CEVICHE! how do you expect to run a business if you can't get anything right when it is empty? So disappointed. SPENT ALMOST 50 DOLLARS AND DID NOT GET A REFUND. I was told that there was "nothing they could do" even though they made the mistakes. read more
