Wow! My first time trying Peruvian food and it was amazing. The waitress helped me to order and understand the menu on my first trip, she was so helpful. The food was next level amazing - the house soup, the ceviche, and the lomo saltida. I highly recommend this restaurant!

First time at this Pollo Inka location in Carson on 11/17/24. This location is smaller than the other location we've been to. The staff are very friendly and nice. The restaurant was clean and so were the restroom. We ordered the usual, lomo saltado for the kids and mariscos saltado for me which is a seafood version. I do agree with the other reviews that the protein is less and they pack the plate with fries and onions. But the lomo saltado beef at this location is better, more tender and not over cooked like the other locations. My kids order that same thing every time we dine in so they know the difference. My mariscos was also less. The portion here isn't as full as the other locations but the ambiance at this location is more preferable for us. We always enjoy the soup and bread at the beginning of our meals. We were seated right away with no wait. We will definitely be coming back to this location. They are located in Carson across from the mall with parking available.

There is a really great aroma when you walk in the door. I love good chicken skin and the flavor of the spices penetrates into the meat giving it a really savory flavor. I ordered fried rice and I love the crispy texture mixed in with the fried egg chunks (that were deliciously large) along with onion. The fries were good but I only wish they were a little crisper on the outside. My 1/2 chicken meal also came with a flavorful soup that really made it feel like a full meal. With a Coke I only dropped about 20 bucks and left with at least half a portion for later. Good customer service and I liked how clean the restaurant and bathroom were. Really festive, upbeat music and large screen tvs made the space feel very inviting. I will definitely come check this place out and try more of their selections. Provecho!

The food here is just amazing!!!!! I've had Peruvian food before and this is top notch. I dined here and service was super fast and the girl was pretty attentive. I got my bread and butter, then came my soup. I ordered chicken with rice and fries. All of it was delicious! The Aji sauce was delicious. My hubby had the lomo saltado and he loved it. We are definitely coming back. Btw it's super cute inside! The only thing I didn't like was that music is super loud! And you have music playing from the kitchen, other music playing in the dining area and the tv on. Too much noise! Otherwise it's a great location.
