Excellent food, homey ambiance and good service. I had garlic shrimp which was so delish. My nephew had a fish stew that he loved. We didn't wait for a table; arrived in the late afternoon.

In town for a youth hockey tournament and staying at a hotel near by, tried this place with a party of six on a whim as my mom is from Peru and I grew up eating Peruvian food at home and at Bay Area restaurants. Everything we had was delicious. Service was attentive. Ambience was pleasant. I would highly recommend Inka Grill for a delicious Peruvian meal. Appetizers -- papa rellena (stuffed potato w/ beef), camote rellena (stuffed sweet potato w/ chicken), palta rellana (stuffed avocado), papa a la hauanciana, yuca frita (fried yucca). Rarely see papa rellena on menus, one of our favorite foods and theirs was tasty. Loved the sweet potato version, which was a first for us. Having only had palta rellena in Peru, this dish had me reminiscing. My only complaint here is the potato to hauncaina sauce ratio was off, could have used more/larger pieces of potato but the sauce was as creamy and spicy like it should be. Mains -- lomo and chicken saltado, bistec a lo pobre, ají de gallina. I would have liked to tried more main dishes but my families loves saltado so three in our group got that and all thought it was delicious. My husband asked if they had bistec a lo pobre and they kindly turned their Milinesa dish into one by replacing the salad with fries and adding a fried egg. I had the ají de gallina, one of my favorites, and it was very tasty. Desserts -- Juanita's crepes, alfajores. Have never seen this crepe w/ dulce de leche and fried plantains before, I would return just to eat this again and again. Got a box of mini alfajores to go, they were a solid way to fulfill an alfajore craving. Drinks -- Inka cola (can't be a Peruvian restaurant without this Peruvian soda), chicha morada (yummy), pisco sour (generously sized and tasty) Inka punch (chicha w/ pisco = why didn't I think of this before?!).

Great service and good food. The vegetable stir fried rice was perfectly made with fresh vegetables. Fried bananas was also very good.

I love this place! Everything I've had here has been delicious. Had the tamal: it was flavorful masa, filled with moist chicken, egg and olive. Moist and light. The Picante fish stew was a treat! Loved the fruity, yellow Peruvian chili flavor. Waitress was very helpful and attentive. Restaurant is cozy and has outside seating as well.

Dang! I forgot to take a picture. I really wanted some ceviche and made the brilliant choice to get it at the Inka Grill. Their ceviche rocked my world! I could not help myself and started in on it before I thought about taking a picture and I should have because when you think of Peruvian ceviche - this is what it should look like. I asked for it extra spicy and they delivered. Sometimes you get these giant chunks of yam that takes up a lot of space in the dish - just a bit too much of a good thing. The Inka Grill had the perfect sized yam slice that sat on a mound of seafood and onions, roasted corn, white corn, etc. with everything bathed in spicy lime juice. There was also this excellent spicey green sauce in a squirt bottle that was perfect for spicing up the yam. The service was great and the setting was cozy - a very pleasant setting to enjoy some excellent Peruvian food. I counted myself quite fortunate to be in a hotel within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Yes, I was not happy with this restaurant three months ago but I was in the area and had a craving for Saltado de Mariscos so I decided to give them another try. They did not disappoint! This was the best Saltado dish I've had in a long time, did not find fault with it at all. The fries were not soggy, it wasn't doused in soy sauce, the seafood was not over cooked, it was perfect. Estefani was friendly and attentive, and when I told her I was so happy with my food, she told me it does depend on the cook but the manager did tell them not to use so much soy sauce. My compliments to the chef!

Wanted a hearty lomo saltado for my lunch today I got what I was looking for. Juicy pieces of steak and well-seasoned fries. I wish they were a bit more crispy but that's what you get for getting take out. Friendly service at the counter. Delicious green sauce. I plan on coming back again to support this small business.

Wanted to check out other places for Peruvian cuisine. Saw they have one near where we were at so we gave it a try. The place looks really cool and relaxing. We order the fish ceviche and the goat stew with their famous chocolate bread pudding. The fish ceviche is very limey and a bit tart! The host stereo is pretty good but missing the infamous fried plantain. The bread pudding was da bomb. So nice and moist and not too sweet. A bit pricey for the dessert but it was good. Our server was great even though the place got busy after we ordered our meals.
