Amazing experience to start with. Nestled in Carson, California, El Polo Inka is a gem that tantalizes taste buds with authentic Peruvian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and enticing aromas that set the stage for a culinary journey through Peru. The menu boasts a delightful array of traditional dishes, each prepared with care and attention to detail. Start your meal with classic appetizers like empanadas or causa, beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. For the main course, indulge in their signature pollo a la brasa, succulent rotisserie chicken marinated in a blend of herbs and spices, cooked to perfection. Pair it with a side of golden yuca fries or creamy Peruvian-style beans for a truly satisfying experience. Seafood lovers will rejoice at the selection of ceviche, featuring fresh fish marinated in tangy citrus juices and served with a kick of chili pepper. And for those craving something hearty, the lomo saltado is a must-try, a savory stir-fry of beef tenderloin, onions, tomatoes, and fries, served over rice and drizzled with a savory sauce. The ambiance at El Polo Inka is inviting, with vibrant colors and lively music that transport you to the streets of Lima. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or flying solo, the atmosphere is always buzzing with energy and excitement. Top off your meal with a traditional Peruvian dessert like tres leches cake or creamy flan, perfectly sweet endings to an unforgettable dining experience. With its flavorful dishes, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service, El Polo Inka is a culinary destination worth revisiting time and time again. Whether you're a Peruvian cuisine enthusiast or a newcomer eager to explore new flavors, this charming eatery promises a taste of Peru that will leave you craving more.

I’m so glad the opened this location, I was wondering how the food was going to be by comparison and they did not disappoint. Food was absolutely delicious and affordable as per usual Pollo Inka. I had the Picante de Mariscos to put it to the test and found out that they are up to pay as far as quality and flavor. A highly recommended spot with great food options as well as friendly service.

Cannot recommend El Pollo Inka enough. Great Peruvian food and great price.

Easy Going

Good food, good customer service. The only reason for no five stars is because they need to make sure the chicken is cooked (slowly) and (thoroughly). My To Go order food was ready in five minutes (if that), but the chicken breast needed to be cooked more. I, for one, don't mind waiting an additional five minutes in order for food to be cooked properly - which is probably all it needed. Please make rice (garlic)-flavored rice. I will review the menu later to see if the rice is described as such. Otherwise, . overall great food, clean establishment, good value for the prices, and good customer service. 4 1/2 Stars!!!! Go try it out!

Not as expansive nor decorated as the other ones but just as yummy and the same kind of yummy. We had to pay cash or Zelle 🤔. It was super inexpensive for a dinner for four that we double checked the bill.

Chicken was as good as always. We try to hit one of these spots every time we’re in the area. It would be nice if they expanded into greater Southern California cites

The service here is prompt and friendly. This isn't my usual location, but it is just as good, if not better. The garlic rice has a lot more flavor. Highly recommend.

I have a slight cold and wanted something a warm, light broth soup. I just googled soup near me and by the picture and the comment that the cilantro soup is everything, I gave it a try. I bought the 16 oz as a taste test. After the first spoonful, I decided I better go get the 32oz for tomorrow!

Enjoy dinner with family at Pollo Inka its a 1st time visit. The place look clean and inviting. We got serve an entry soup and bread. I order as an appetizer the fried calamari. Dinner plates looked very nice Beef Lomo Saltado, Beef Tallarin and Chicken Vainitas with Maracuya drinks. The service we received was great the lady serving us was very attentive to our needs.

Ordered 2 Cilantro Chicken Soup’s and it comes with the spicy green sauce. The broth was delicious and clean. It’s a great healthy option. I only gave 4 stars because I’m used to more food and rice on the side.

I'm giving this location 3⭐ because while the food is the same as other EPI locations, the price is higher and the portions smaller. For that reason alone, I won't be coming back.

Food tastes good. But plates and cups are not cleaned. Lipsticks were on the water cup. Plates are not cleaned well.
