Inka Terra Restaurant & Tapas Bar

wonderful family owned restaurant offering friendly service and deliciously fresh food. tried them for the first time a few weeks back and today was my 4th order since. I don't do takeout often let alone drive 35-40 minutes one way for it. what does that say about their food? well you'll have to try it and see for yourself.

Food and drinks were delicious, but it took over an hour for our dinner to be served

Ok so I will start at the beginning. My husband, two kids, and I drove an hour and a half away from where we currently live to our hometown to visit our family and have dinner with them. They suggested we go to Inka Terra so we did. We got there and were seated outside immediately since there was only one other table occupied. We had 4 kids with us (ages 8-17) so they played some corn hole then sat down when it was time to order drinks. But to get anyone to even address our table took over 10 minutes. Then, after our drinks were ordered, it took at least 15 minutes to get them and by that time, there were kids occupying the games, which occupied it for the whole 3.5+ hours we were there so our kids couldn’t even play there anymore. It then took about 25-30 minutes for the waitress to come to our table. She took our order and that was the last time we saw her. Not a single time after that did she check on us or bother to refill drinks or anything. While we waited, the kids that were playing, were incredibly loud, spitting on the turf, climbing the walls, and cursing up a storm. Rather than playing corn hole, they started throwing the hard beanbags, which at one point hit my nephew in the back so of course we said something to them. The whole time we kept saying “Where are their parents!?” Not only that, they were running around behind where we were sitting playing tag and didn’t care that we were sitting right there. These kids were at least 10-12 years old.
Now on to the food, apparently they had some callouts, which we had no idea. Not once did ANYONE address us to tell us that they were running behind. Not the waitress and not any of the owners. Instead we waited over an hour for food. My daughter ordered a simple side order of rice and beans and they couldn’t even bring that out. I had my husband call and place a takeout order to get that for her but when he went up to do that, the rice and beans were suddenly ready. When the food came out for the one table sitting behind us, the owner had the audacity to tell us that we’d have to wait another 20 minutes for our food. Not once did he offer to give us anything to hold us off in the meantime or anything. Our kids were starving and visibly upset and our drinks were empty. When I told him how unprofessional it was that no one had addressed us or come to check on us, he took no accountability and acted like I had no business being upset. I’ve never been anywhere where I had to wait close to an hour and a half for food. Additionally, if there are issues, you take accountability and address them and find a way to make it right. His way of trying to make it right was by trying to give everyone shots when it was time to pay of course. They were so quick to add the tip to our checks too. When he tried calling everyone over to speak, he then proceeded to tell us that all the kids running around and taking over the games, were his kids.
I did not like his demeanor or the way he lacked any self awareness or professionalism. Then before we left, he tried to act personable as if he knew me. Although I am from that town, I’ve never met him but he tried acting like he knew me and asked me “How are your parents?” to which is responded with “Well my mom unfortunately passed away a few years ago and my dad lives in Puerto Rico from back when he abandoned us.”
I will pay a lot of money for good food and a good experience; and I have. I don’t know who priced their food because the food and the portions do not match their prices. They are way overpriced. Needless to say, I will never be going back there again.
Update: My family members did not know I had left a review at all and were not involved in my opinion. Rather than the owner address me directly, he decided to contact family members and involve them. Now I’m even more upset that he would involve family that had absolutely nothing to do with this. Another example his unprofessionalism

I love this place the food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS no matter what day of the week or time of day. I hope this place never changes—I am very picky about where I eat out this place checks the boxes. The outside seating area is fantastic as well. I am on a mission to try a different dish each time I visit. Go hungry, plan to be stuffed and enjoy the warmth of the staff.

I am Peruvian ceviche fan, and the version from this restaurant is so, so. Dish gets smaller to keep the price affordable I believe. My pisco sour was not Peruvian standards and the price was up there. Ok for the experience but not a place I will come back to have Peruvian food . Ps. Service people are very friendly.

The owners of Inka Terra delivered an incredible experience for my friends reception/party.
Carlos was fantastic in accommodating the party, and I could not be more happy with the service.

Delicious Peruvian food, my first time and for sure will look out for similar restaurants. We had delicious flavourful homemade shrimp soup, white fish cerviche, veal heart and chicken rotisserie with chau fan! It was so scrumptious, with generous portions!

Not sure how they make the most amazing food ever

I drove for two hours to see places and I found what I like a Peruvian restaurant, I was a little skeptical about the place, but I found a very nice place, the best octopus, what we ordered fulfilled all my expectations , very good, since I have worked with Peruvian food for years, it is a little difficult to deal with something that one already has knowledge of, and this place and the service are excellent

Amazing relax and enjoyable place to share with friends and family the food is delicious and the taste of the food take you to Peru I love thank you

Comforting atmosphere at this wonderful family owned restaurant. Every dish was authentic perfection. We sat outside and I really felt like I was on vacation in my hometown. The service was above and beyond and we truly felt the love that went into the whole experience. We will definitely be coming back.
