Inca Social - Vienna

“Excellent Peruvian restaurant. The food is fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Nicole was incredibly attentive and made the whole experience even better with her friendly and professional service. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely coming back. Highly recommended.”

Delighted with an early Friday dinner. Took recommendations from waitress Emma and couldn’t have been happier. Started with perfect cocktails and then great dinner. Despite being too full, we tried a dessert and did not regret it. We live out of town, but I would host an event there if we were local. Great space, comfortable and welcoming vibe, great drinks, delicious food, and next to Dunn Loring metro!

Longtime fan and super fun place. I got canchitas, aji de gallina, and chicha moradas and got to try their anticuchero roll or peruvian sushi!! - amazing time.

A great Peruvian spot. Andres was a great and attentive server. Food was 10/10, don’t skip the ceviche!

The service and food were great! Specifically, the Peruvian tamales, papas rellenas, and the green fideos and tallarines. So delicious!!!! The best part for me were the CHURROS 🤤 that and ordering a pisco sour is a MUST! Damar gave us great service. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy- Damar and the kitchen took a reasonable amount of time to serve our food. I highly recommend this place… especially the CHURROS 🫣

One of the best peruvian restaurants in Northern Virginia. The dishes have the real peruvian flavor. The staff is super friendly, thanks to Andres, very profesional waiter, also his Manager was very nice, excellent people. Good drinks.

This place is delicious! It was our first time trying Inca Social and we will definitely be back. We loved the tropical ceviche, the salad, drinks and the entrees. Service was quick. The interior is very pretty and they have outside seating too. They serve brunch (which I can’t wait to try) and lunch. Added bonus for the air conditioning not being freezing. Definitely try this place. Menu mentions which dishes are gluten-free, so that’s convenient for those to whom it matters.

Best Peruvian food in DMV. Andres was an excellent server. 11/10 experience.

The place is amazing... But Sofia's service and Jean Carlos's attention couldn't have been better... When you do it right, they should be a reference. Thank you for always paying attention to the details.

Delicious Ceviche and good pizco sour!!! . I set at the bar. Nice atmosphere. The only downside is that they don't announce last call for food or drinks, so by the time I want to order my main course at 10pm, they told me they were closed for food or drinks. I will recommend just to inform your new clients the last call for food or drinks since you are in an area that has many businesses people passing by. I will definitely come back on my next trip to try some more of their food.... I came back 7 months later, and they are keeping with the amazing quality. Service has improved, and I had great luck to meet Damar, the super professional new bar in charge that gided me through the menu and suggested his favorite dishes NOW my new favorites. Pescado a lo macho y Tumi roll. Yonson, an amazing chef with Gaston Acurio school, will surprise you with amazing food I also met Jorge, the person incharge whom was super helpful and welcoming. I'm updating pictures of this last amazing visit.

I have to say, everything was excellent! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic Peruvian flavors. The service was fantastic, thank you Andrea for make our lunch special, all the staff made us feel so welcome. Don't miss the incacolada, the Causas and the Inca Supiro. I highly recommend giving INCA a try if you're craving some amazing Peruvian cuisine!

Inca Social is always a hit. I enjoyed the spooky decorations and overall fresh atmosphere. You can never miss with the cheesy inca balls! Hot and cheesy. The ceviches are a must. We ordered the ceviche mixto. There is a new featured menu. The Seafood Gnocchi caught my eye. I was happy with the portion! It was creamy and full of seafood. It was nice to be back.

@incasocial One of the most aesthetic restaurants serving up delicious Peruvian food here in Northern Virginia! Seriously, everything here was soo tasty. ✨️ Conchas bachiche: These refreshing scallops will have you craving more. It was zesty and citrus-y with a bite of spicy, safe to say I'm obsessed lolol. ✨️ Taqueños: Cheesey sticks make for the perfeft happy hour bites and a crowd pleaser. ✨️ Ceviche sampler: I recommend these with plantain chips for the perfect sharable. I love the orange-y coloured one out of the three the best, but they were all good. ✨️ Chicharrón: Another crowd pleaser and classic sharable. ✨️ Lomo saltado: A dish that can do absolutely no wrong. ✨️ Lomo a la hauncaina: This was a fun twist on the classic dish but with linguine pasta! Unique and first time trying it. 🍹 Pisco sour, Tumi punch : Both delicious drinks, honestly you can't go wrong with any of their drinks! Overall, it's an awesome place and conveniently located from my house (so if you see me here often mind ya business, especially cause they have $3 margs for ladies night on thursdays!) I will 100% be back here! -Insta @ SpicyAivy

Came here 3 years ago and thought it was alright. Recently decided to go on a Wednesday night and was pleasantly surprised that the food was better than I remembered! I had the Inca kolada cocktail, highly recommend! If you’ve had an Inca cola before, it tasted like that but with tequilla. The ceviche carretillero was fresh, balanced in flavors, and the calamari was fried perfectly. The costa verde roll was not my favorite but my bf loved it. I think it had too much sauce and dislike the use of cream cheese in sushi but otherwise it was okay. Lomo saltado is always a classic must have. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sauce was good, and the fries were the perfect soft to crisp texture. The pescado a lo macho was flavorful, a good variety of seafood in there and the sauce was perfectly creamy.

Had an excellent experience today with my friends celebrating Halloween at Inca. We got to try their limited Halloween cocktails. Special thanks to Andrea, our server, which gave us outstanding service. She was periodically checking in on us making sure we were never short on food or drinks. We ended up staying longer than we had originally planned because we were having such a great time. This is not my first visit and it definitely won't be my last.

We love visiting Inca Social frequently !! the food is always excellent! The flavors are authentic, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, making it one of our favorite spots. Special thanks to Francinny, who always takes great care of us. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and provides amazing service every time we visit. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and great service, we ordered the pulpo, the ‘Bistec a la pobre’ and the Lima delight dessert, everything was delicious. Jean was awesome and very kind, he gave us great recommendations. We’re definitely coming back soon! This is one of our favorite restaurants now

The food quality and service are top notch. Andres took good care of us and made the menu accessible and dining experience memorable. We really enjoyed the South American flavors from the cocktails, entrees, and dessert. The Lima Delight cheesecake is a must have. It is made in house and worth the drive to experience this fusion dish.

This place has great ceviche because you can get a sampler with 3 variations of spicy. A few times the food we have eaten there the food was spot in in flavor. This last time it was pretty salty. This was for all the dishes our family ordered. Still would go there though.

Service and food were outstanding. This is easily one of the best Peruvian restaurants in the area. Cesar took great care of us and was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The management was also welcoming and made sure everything ran smoothly. We will definitely be coming back.

I had such a great experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was welcoming from the moment I walked in. The food was delicious, great service, and super friendly staff! The host Francinny was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of from the start. Can’t wait to come back again soon. Definitely a place I’ll be recommending to friends and family.

I was there last weekend and had a wonderful time! The food was amazing and the atmosphere and service was outstanding. Sophia was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave me the best recommendations. I had a great time. Thank you so much to Sophie, I'll definitely be back soon!

The staff are very personable and it always feels like you're coming home for a social event. Everyone is so welcoming. The food and drinks are great, and the portions are plentiful! It can be noisy at times, but hey, always lively!

We had an amazing experience at Inca Social! Our server, Emma, was absolutely fantastic, so friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious full of flavor and beautifully presented. Between the great atmosphere, incredible service, and tasty dishes, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Emma, for making our visit so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Inca Social is such a fun and welcoming place, but what really makes it special is the service. Cesar truly goes above and beyond and makes every visit feel memorable. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared that everyone was having a great experience. Cesar has an incredible way of making guests feel comfortable and valued. He knows the menu well, anticipates what you might need before you even ask, and keeps everything running smoothly even when it gets busy. His positive attitude and professionalism stand out in the best way. It’s clear that Cesar takes real pride in his work, and that level of dedication makes a huge difference. Inca Social already has a great atmosphere, but service like his is what keeps people coming back. Highly recommend Inca Social, and if you get the chance to be taken care of by Cesar, you’re in great hands.

Diana does an excellent job managing reservations and wait times while remaining friendly and patient with guests. Her positive energy and genuine kindness set the tone for a great experience, and it’s clear that she cares about providing outstanding service. She is a valuable part of the Inca Social team, and her professionalism and hospitality make a lasting impression. I highly recommend her and look forward to being welcomed by her again.

My company held a happy hour event at Inca. Terrific food, amazing drinks and a chill vibe. The empanadas are delicious, the sushi is terrific...but the The Tumi rolls are insane. Seriously. Go to Inca for the Tumi rolls today.

I had such a great experience at Inca Social - Vienna. The food was amazing and authentic. I tried the Tequeños and Bisteck a lo Pobre, and everything was delicious. I also had an Inca Colada, which was refreshing non alcoholic drink, and went perfectly with the meal. Our server Nicole was wonderful, with a beautiful smile, and her recommendation was exactly what I was looking for. She really made the visit even better! If you’re craving for authentic Peruvian food 🇵🇪 and great service, this is definitely the spot to go!.

My experience at Inca Social was exceptional, largely thanks to the outstanding service provided by Cesar. From the moment we arrived, he demonstrated professionalism, courtesy, and genuine attentiveness. His knowledge of the menu, thoughtful recommendations, and constant attention to detail reflected a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. I truly appreciated his kindness and dedication throughout our visit. Cesar clearly represents the restaurant’s values of service and hospitality. I highly recommend his service and will gladly return in the future.

I’m a regular at Inca Social Vienna, and every visit is just as amazing as the last. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served you can really taste the authentic Peruvian touch. But what really makes the difference is the service. Andrea is absolutely fantastic she’s friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. She even remembers my usual order! It’s rare to find someone who makes you feel so welcomed every time. Highly recommend this place, especially if you get Andrea as your server 👏

The ambiance, service, and food were excellent. The Chicha Morada was absolute perfection. Unfortunately, the Alfajor missed the mark. The presentation was adorable (shaped like Peru with a little flag) but the flavor and texture, of the dulce de leche especially, were lacking. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise wonderful meal, but I’ll definitely return because everything else was great.

Hosted my birthday here on December 6th, did brunch, and watched the Inter Miami final. The prices were great, the atmosphere was solid, and overall it was a really good time. Nicole was our server and she did an amazing job, along with the rest of the team. Appreciate the great service.

Inca Social is home away from home! I have eaten here countless of times and Emma always takes great care of me - from recommending great eats to ensuring all your needs are met before they become one! She is attentive, warm, and is always genuinely happy to host you! Food is absolutely flavorful, made with care and top notch/quality ingredients, Inca Social is a true DMV delicacy. Must tries are the lomo saltado, aji de gallina, arroz con mariscos and the ceviche. Atmosphere and vibes are also 10/10.

As always, so enjoy the food here at Inca Social. No one makes Lomo Saltado like they do. The umami flavor of the seared beef is unmatched unless you visit Lima. We always get it with linguine à la huancaina, which is like Alfredo but with aji amarillo. Always delicious! Their sushi rolls are full of flavor, adding Peruvian flare. You won’t want regular sushi after eating this. Always try the Acevichado and Anticuchero rolls. And you can’t go wrong with their Anticuchos either! We drive 2 hours just to eat here!

I’ve been to Inca Social at Dunn Loring a few times now, and while the concept has always intrigued me—Latin fusion, vibrant decor, and a lively setting—this most recent visit left me with mixed feelings. 🏠 Ambience & Vibe Inca Social has a lively, colorful atmosphere with trendy decor and upbeat Latin American music. The vibe leans casual and social, good for groups or after-work gatherings. That said, it didn’t quite feel like a standout destination—more like a reliable neighborhood spot trying to be trendy. 🍽️ Food The menu offers a fusion of Peruvian and Latin flavors. Ceviche was one of the highlights—fresh and tangy. Some of the other dishes, like the lomo saltado and empanadas, looked better on paper than they tasted. Not bad, but not especially memorable either. Presentation was nice; flavor execution was just okay. 🍸 Drinks The cocktail list is fun and creative, especially if you're into pisco-based drinks. The quality of execution varied—one drink was well-balanced, another felt watered down. Beer and wine selections were fine but nothing exceptional. 🤝 Service The staff was polite and welcoming, but the service pace felt off. At times, there were long waits between orders, and a couple of small requests were missed. Not a major issue, just added to the "meh" feeling overall. 💵 Value Prices are a bit on the higher end considering the food and experience. Not outrageous, but you might feel you’re paying a little more for the branding and decor than what’s on the plate. ✅ Final Verdict Inca Social at Dunn Loring is a decent spot with potential, but the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. If you’re nearby and want to try something different, it’s worth a visit—but probably not a go-to place unless the kitchen and service step up their game.

I want to share my positive experience at the restaurant. The server, Sofia, provided excellent professional service, ensuring all my needs were met and creating a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant's ambiance was delightful, with a well-designed interior contributing to a whimsical and vibrant atmosphere. Regarding the food, I found the Chicha Morada to be a refreshing drink with a well-balanced combination of sweetness and sourness. The Peruvian Sushi Virginia Lover was fresh, although the rice felt like it may not have been hand-rolled, as it was too dense and wet from cooking rice not correctly. The Gnocchi Del Pacifico was a savory dish with seafood and gnocchi pasta in a delicious cream sauce with a hint of tangy flavor, although some of the gnocchi was undercooked. In summary, I had a satisfying dining experience at this restaurant.

Inca Social offers a vibrant atmosphere with modern decor and a lively ambiance. During my visit, I indulged in the Pulpo Anticuchero—tender grilled octopus served over potatoes with black olive aioli and chimichurri sauce . The Ceviche Tropical was a delightful mix of shrimp, mango, avocado, and passion fruit leche de tigre . The Aji de Gallina, a creamy Peruvian chicken stew over potatoes and rice, was comforting and flavorful. Their cocktails, like the Passion Chilcano, complemented the meal perfectly. Service was attentive, and the overall experience was memorable.

We had lunch here. Service was very slow. Food was ok. Flavourful but I found the steak skewer to be very chewy. Value for money tho.

Decided to check out this place after work because they had a affordable happy hour. Seem like it was a very well kept place. Got to the restaurant around 5:00 p.m. and notice the whole place was completely empty. Couldn't figure out why no one was there because it's peak happy hour time. Was seated and handed the menu without anyone giving advice on popular dishes / drinks. Once my friend got to the restaurant she also noticed that there was absolutely no people. The staff members were just kind of hanging out by the bar and didn't really give much of attention. We got served water in a very dirty cup. My friend asked for it to be exchanged for clean glass and freshwater. We waiting about 20 mins for the food to come out ...We ordered two things from the happy hour menu - The taco and the national dish of Peru. Taco was very simple barely any flavor in the chicken. The national dish of Peru was a very interesting I asked if the dish could be warmed up because on the menu it said it could be lightly fried and the waiter said "No" . Also got the quinoa with chicken - which was relatively good. I only gave three stars for this review because the quinoa and chicken dish was the only thing that actually had taste in it... Didn't try any of their drinks because of timing. I felt like even if I ordered a drink I would have to wait another 20-30 minutes just for it.

I ordered 2 Saltados and a Leche de Tigre ceviche for carry out at a price of $61. Handed her a $100 bill and she told me to sit at the counter while she got my change. After waiting for a while she finally returned and decided to withhold giving me 8 cents back. Even though it’s only 8 cents it’s the principle of the thing. I waited for an additional 15 minutes until a different waitress came out with my order and asked me if the food was mine. After I said yes she then told me to wait so she could confirm with someone else. She disappeared to the kitchen, only for another employee who was using a laptop and sitting to my left to rudely tell me that I could leave now. A very strange way to treat a paying customer, a series of off putting interactions to say the least. I thought to myself on the drive home how unprofessional they were but I held out hope that the food was good. Sadly it wasn’t. Bland is the word I would use to describe both saltados. The steak and chicken were tough, woefully underseasoned, and laying in a flavorless sauce while the white rice tasted like something from a cheap Chinese takeout spot. Lastly, the fries were straight from a bag and not freshly made/cut. The ceviche was the lone high point and the only thing that tasted like some effort was put into making it. Just a trash experience all around.
