Our company came for lunch. The waitress was nice and friendly. The service didnt take too long for food to come out. The pollo was well seasoned and tasted great with their spicy cilantro sauce. My coworkers tried the other chicken and rice dishes. For dessert we tried their ice cream. It was delicious, refreshing and sweet. The flavor reminded me of flan. The waitress informed us this location has music and dancing night on fridays and saturdays I think. It's close to our office so it was a good place for peruvian food. We all liked what we ordered.
I love a El Pollo Inka specifically this location. I always order the Lomo Saltado and my mom usually gets the Anticuchos de Pollo, the marinade on the chicken is so good. The soup they give first is one of our favorites, love that they also give bread. The service is fast and great. It got pretty packed after we sat down because it was a Saturday but we got our food on time. The ambience is great. Friday nights they have dance classes, the cover is $15. I'm looking forward to checking that out soon.
This was the first Peruvian restaurant I had ever been to over 30 years ago but sadly I hadn't been here in over 10 years since I moved out of the area. A reunion of college friends brought us back here and as excited as I was to try my all-time favorite dish, Saltado de Mariscos, it just didn't seem to have the "wow" factor that it did back then. I've had better elsewhere, which hurts me to say because I normally rank El Pollo Inka pretty high. Not so flavorful as I would expect. In fact, I was dousing it with twice as much Aji Verde sauce than I normally use. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't mouthwatering like I expected. Hoping maybe the chef was having a bad day because I really do like this place and I will be coming back.
I probably didn't get the full experience of El Pollo Inka as I'm on a budget and honestly only came in to use WiFi, so yes I got the cheapest thing on the menu, aguadito soup. They don't have outdoor seating for my dog, who is technically a service animal, so I kinda got some flack for her being with me...but not only is she a service dog, she has to stay with me now of all times because our place burned down. She doesn't have any signs of aggression so it bothers me when people discriminate or give us the crappy unseen seats so they don't have to look at us i guess? Anyway the waitress was fine, she checked up on me. It took a while to get served maybe due to our location on top of it being lunchtime but I got the food quickly. Can't honestly say I'd recommend soup but I'm pretty sure no ones coming here for soup. It's just like a green sauce chicken rice soup that maybe you'd eat if you had a cold or something. With a roll on the side. I might come to another location and try the more tastier offerings. I don't live near here so it's just as well. Nice music at least.
