Atmosphere was great. Everything else is the reason we won't return.
I'm Peruvian. I've been to restaurants all over the place and know how good Peruvian food is made. El Pollo Inka is a staple in the South Bay. This location isn't holding up.
My Lomo was mostly rice. Okay. I figured I would deal with it. Two pieces of tomatoes. Okay. Whatever. The flavor wasn't great so I figured it was just an off plate, so I tried eating my food. Once I started eating the onions I realized that they were more than just al dente. They were almost raw. At that point there was nothing saving that dish. I sent it back and asked for something else. At that point I regretted not visiting the one in Lawndale.
The waitress said okay to the return, but then shortly after a man came by telling me I had already eaten most of my dish. I had tried eating about a third because I don't like sending food back and I was honestly trying to just deal with it. He said that he could just give me my onions on the side.
The problem was the entire plate though. And Lomo needs to be cooked together to get all the flavors and juices right. I've never had issues like this at any other Pollo Inka and my family and I have been going to this chain since before I was even born.
I was honestly so insulted. I told him we only were paying for our other dishes and I didn't want anything else brought to our table. Nothing to replace the Lomo. This is one of the few times I've sent back food in my life and this is the only time I've had to advocate for myself.
If they were going to be that petty over how THEY messed up a meal, I didn't want them serving me another dish.
We paid for the rest of our dishes but I will tell you, I will not return to this location. I was absolutely embarrassed on having to argue with the man about something they had messed up.

The Lomo Saltado is amazing. I have service & Atmosphere a 3 because on this trip the waiter was lacking in service to our table. We had to wait a pretty long time for everything including the tab. As for the atmosphere it was a little too loud to hear ourselves talk. If you're there to eat with no conversation or to dance I guess it's ok but at noon...the middle of the day I don't want to be in a club-like Atmosphere. Music should be at a comfortable light background noise level that allows for easy conversation.

Horrible service. Walked in to dine in. There was no hostess. Finally was seated to our table. Ordered food and it came out one plate at a time. I had to get up and get my own ketchup. Next the waitress never came by to make sure check on us. I had to go to the bar and get refills.

Food wasn't good but the worst here is the service. Wow, this people ignores you like nobody else!! 😂.
We came at night, music starts at 9:30pm that was good (well if you like loud salsa music 🎶) watching people dancing was nice.
But honestly, don't think we'll come back.

The quality of the place has really gone down since the last time I went there... the waiting takes too long even though there's no one waiting... the food is alright...

Ordered food from their website and it never showed up, they charged me twice and they kept my money.

Food was not very flavorful and prices have gone up 😕 chicken Maison offers a much better $10 chicken plate combo. Will try again in 6 months, been coming here for 15 years and this was the most mediocre food, others in our group of 5 felt similar.
