If you have friends that have never had Peruvian food then this is the first place you should take them. The food is excellent, the servers are nice, and the location is excellent (like the my friend said the first time... (more)

My husband and I are hooked. Any saltado dish is so good (we like Saltado de Pollo or Lomo). Our son loves the chicken. It's their speciality. The best part is that the prices are great - service is awesome too. And you get... (more)

<b>In Short<br></b>Totems of Peruvian history create the atmosphere: Plaster-cast walls mimic stone temples and carved gods, while art, textiles and photos festoon the remainder of the room. The cuisine is as... (more)

This is the best Peruvian food I have ever had. The chicken is the bomb and so is the soup. All the sides are delicious and the service is excellent. The prices are good and you can't ask for to much more... (more)

This place offers excellent tasting dishes. I don't know how to explain the difference in taste. And menus. But this site offers more for your taste buds to enjoy. (more)

I've been to several Peruvian restaurants, and this by far is the worst. The service was terrible. The place was not a full house, there was more than plenty tables available. We waited for almost 10min to have the host... (more)

I'd never had Peruvian food before, but El Pollo Inka got me hooked. If you go, try the cilantro sauce (it's in ketchup bottles on each table) on everything you're eating--from the bread at the beginning to the rice in... (more)

The rostisserie chicken is sooooo good, and at a good price. This is how good. I took my out-of-town cousin there once, and she was hooked. She flies to l.a. every year to visit, and one of the reasons (besides me) is to go... (more)

Not as nice: This specific location must be older than the othe location on Hawthorne. I would make the extra effort to drive the 5 miles down hawthorne for the better atmosphere (more)

My sister went to EPI and didn't like the food (she got chicken,) but I went and got the "Lomo Salteado".... it's the dish with steak, french fries, and veggies tossed together, rice on the side. I definitely recommend... (more)
