I've been here once for lunch a while back, and per visiting cousins' request for Peruvian food, we came here. Ordered the chicken and ribs family meal for four of us and added a side of maduros. Complimentary chips and green sauce. The chips had oil dripping from them. I guess whoever is working with the fryer needs to drain better cuz the fries were extra greasy. The family meal comes with a whole chicken, ribs, rice, beans, fries, salad for about $40. Great deal. Stuffed 4 of us really well. Everything was good, ribs were ok. A little dry. It's sorta in an odd location. So unless u're in the area, it's not really somewhere to travel to.
Mixed Seafood ceviche…that's all I need from this place. Very light with just the right amount of lime. I can definitely eat a whole huge portion of this.
Their Chicken is alright. Needs a little more flavor in it if you ask me. Maybe that's just me comparing it to Pio Pio. Sorry but I can't help it lol.
Still a pretty good restaurant despite being second.
$2 for empanadas? Yes, please. They have really good roasted chicken. I recommend their chicken family special. I never had anything bad from this place. IF your in the area check out their happy hour specials they are worth it.
My friend and I went in here for lunch and it was buzzing with lots of people. It's a somewhat small space but somehow fits so many people!
I had the shrimp ceviche (~$13) which was pretty good.. but had just too much onions. Otherwise, the shrinp was fresh and the taste was pretty good (very lemon-y. If you're like me and spritz lemon every chance you get in whatever dish, you'll love this). If you eat a lot though, be advised that the portion is small.
My friend had the steak with rice which she said tasted pretty good. It looked yummy too! The portion also seemed appropriate for lunch.
Our waiter was nice and attentive. He guided us through the menu and suggested dishes he liked.
Not too bad of a place to try if in the area.
Pretty good. Wanted just one empanada, but ended up getting three and Lulo drink since it's a $10 min on the card. The Lulo is delicious. If you haven't had it, you must. The empanadas were alright, not the best but good. Would be back to try the full menu and sit down and relax with a good meal.
The Inkan offers filling food with fairly generous portions, but the taste just isn't quite there — I was expecting delicious, savory flavors and instead found the chicken and rice pretty bland. I got a half chicken: skin looked great but didn't pack a whole lot of flavor, and the meat was a little dry.
The meal I ordered also came with three sides, and I picked the rice and beans, salad, and sweet plantains. Rice and beans were barely seasoned, the salad was fine, though I was expecting more taste from the green sauce, but the plantains redeemed the meal: they were gooey and packed with delicious caramelly flavor. The mamey juice I ordered had, surprise, not that much flavor (though it's a bland fruit anyway), but did seem to have been made fresh. I also really enjoyed the alfajores cookie, with its cornstarchy, fine crumb and delicious caramel filling.
Main pros: it's cheap and portions are huge. However, the food just isn't that delicious and there are other options in the area.
While other LIC restaurants offer trendy dishes, The Inkan offers a MEAL/Borderline a Feast! You will definitely be full at the end of your dinning experience. Whether you want to believe this or not, I had a late lunch here and was full and content for 24 hours before I ate again. In my head and stomach, that's a quality dinning experience. You won't be walking away thinking that I am still hungry.
The food was overall very good. It wasn't at the level of a Pio Pio (my standard for all Peruvian), but it holds its own. First off, I enjoyed the chips and green sauce. The chips were tasty and the green sauce wasn't overpowering. It was just enough heat to excite your taste buds. However, I would like it to be a bit more spicy though. The chicken was moist and decently flavor. The chicken was everything that I expected. The rice & bean and sweet plantain made it a meal for me. While the nay sayers would suggest that I ordered too many sides. My counter is how do you not order rice & bean and plantains. Everything goes together so well. My only caution is that you might experience food coma after the lunch, so you have to be careful now. A very satisfying lunch experience.
You know what I like about this restaurant? The food is well seasoned without being over-seasoned like some South American restaurants I've been to.
I came here after searching for something healthy but hearty for lunch. The smell is what drew me in.
After looking at the menu I decided on an avocado salad and added shrimp for completion. I ordered it to go and it took about twenty minutes to prepare before they told me it was ready.
When I sat down to eat it I was immediately enticed by the flavors of garlic and onion and the freshness of the greens from the salad.
I've also been here twice before with friends and had a more filling lunch of mixed seafood ceviche, which I highly recommend.
I'll be back again and suggest that everyone visit this place.
