They changed their french fries on their saltado de camarones for bigger fries. No longer tastes the same.

Absolutely delicious. One of the best Peruvian meals I've had. I also got the papa a la huancaina with extra green sauce on the side and it was also so so tasty. Big portion on the aji also so I'll have a delicious lunch tomorrow too!

Styroam containers and unnecessary utensils are terrible for the environment. Please move over to cardboard boxes. Food is tasty and service is good. Very happy they have tofu saltado and other non-meat dishes.

We were warmly greeted by staff. One guys referred to us as "familia" which is a small but meaningful gesture in my opinion. We were quickly seated. Fernando our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Food was fresh and came out quickly. Looking forward to our next visit.

really bad service I came with my family of 30+ people and the waiter was so disrespectful and my uncle and his family wanted to sit at a bigger booth and the waiter stated that they couldn't sit there because she hasn't clean the table but all the tables were full and that one was the only table open they ask her nicely if she can clean it but she refused. first time coming to this place and the last time.

El Pollo Inka is one of the best places I have ever had in my entire life! I am so basic and vanilla, I don't like exotic foods... This was outside what I would normally eat, and I am so happy I tried this. Now every time I have a special occasion, or really want to spoil myself... This is it for me. I know the menu well enough to work their now, I have officially become "a usual" and have been for the last 7 years. If you don't want anything crazy just order Bistec Apanado (breaded steak and rice). Or the Bistec and green spaghetti. (Green Spaghetti is addicting and everyone loves it). Lomo Saltado is a classic (steak, onion, tomatoes, fries, green onion, cilantro stir fried with rice) it's a favorite and customizable if you don't like onions or tomatoes. Papa Rellena here is the best, far better than even the cuban restaurants I have had. The Papa Huancaina (potatoes in a spicy queso) is also delicious and inexpensive. I recently got the picante de carne which was steak and boiled potatoe served in a spicy cream sauce with a side of rice. My new favorite. Almost every order comes with a complimentary soup, aguadito de pollo. Yes I wrote a book, because it is worth writing about. If you want to try something new, or just tired of the same old, this will be your new spot if you give it a chance.

I ordered lamb meal. The question lamb ever I tasted. Tough and bland. The server was stiff but changed his demeanor after we joked with him about bringing us a hotter sauce they had.
This was my first try at Peruvian food. I went with a learned friend that explained the menu in full detail and we had an absolutely wonderful experience.The food was magnificent!Waitress was very friendly and kept checking with me to make sure everything was ok and offering to replace anything I might not like since it was my first time. That is great service. Nothing replaced though as everything tasted great!The place was super clean, food times were quick and prices were very reasonableEat confidently!

Ordered 1/4 chicken didn’t get the leg and thigh. They gave the breast and a burnt wing. The soup had no chicken in it. I asked for ranch dressing and didn’t get that. Going back to Hermosa Beach location next time. Total waste of money since I don’t eat breast meat.

The food was really great. I came in here and got the lomo saltado and it was really great. Ordered it medium rare and it came out perfect. The service was amazing. The guy helping us out was on point forgot his name but it was some young dude.

I love El Pollo Inka, the food is great,and whichever location you choose to dine at.I prefer the atmosphere, full bar,pretty interior of the Torrance location.The food is great, there are fish,veggie,beef,chicken options.But this location in Lawndale, is still great. The service was efficient, waiter was attentive,food was great.Parking lot was pretty crowded.There is also take as an option.I dined in,but many were coming,to get their great meals to go.The cilantro chicken soup, is the best! I eat a dish with pesto noodles and fried thin steak,tallarin verde con bistek apanado,my fave.They also have a good ceviche,and you can't go wrong with the lomo saltado.Kid-friendliness: This place is also kid friendly
