El Pollo Inka

I came here to eat with my family for lunch. We ordered anticucho de corazón, jalea, 1 pollo entero, and inka mar. Everything was super delicious and there were no problems so far. We ordered picarones and it had a horrible, sour taste at the end of each bite. We tried a two bites each to make sure it was either the sauce or the picaron itself. We talked to the waiter and he went to the kitchen then came back and said it was fine and thats how its supposed to taste and that it needs the sauce to make it sweet. My parents have eaten picarones in Peru and they didn't think that was true. The picarones left a nasty taste in our mouths. We went to another El Pollo Inka restaurant in Hawthorne Blvd and ordered the picarones again. That place had super delicious picarones with and without the sauce so we were able to confirm that the waiter was not being honest with us about the picarones in this El Inka Pollo restaurant. Thats why I give it a low rating. If anything, I wouldn't go to this restaurant and instead go to another El Inka Pollo restaurant.

I’ve been going here since it’s been open, and the food is great, especially the Chaufa. However, the service and prices have really gone downhill. Every time I order here the prices are way up. Additionally, I often order online where is says food will be ready in ~15 or whatever the app says however I get there and up having to wait 15-20 more minutes after it says it will be ready. When someone finally comes up to help me after I’ve been standing around for 10 min and I ask about my food, they seem kinda rude (although that could just be because I’m frustrated from waiting so long).

I have been here many times, and the food is usually perfect. The atmosphere is very nice, and the server was very attentive.

The food is good. We've been going here for years. Im Peruvian so, I of course think my families cooking is better that's why I gave a 4 star. But if you aren't lucky enough tob have hone cooked Peruvian, you'll be very happy.

Everything was great except the beans! I love how they always have a performer there. The performer/artist/musician is always excellent! The only issue I had this visit were the beans! I've never had issues buying beans from this chain restaurant. But this last visit they served the beans watered down and no flavor. They were gross!

Sorry for my poor photo but the food is flavorful and healthy, love this place. Rotisserie chicken is the best around, great side dishes. Quiet ambience and just an easy place to patronize.
