★★★★☆ 4.0 Sarah Zarzuela · Mar 2026

After seeing so many great reviews, we had to give The Inkan a try — and overall, it was a really good experience. The flavors were bold and authentic, and you can tell the dishes are made with care. The chaufa de carne was well seasoned with tender pieces of beef, and the tallarín verde con bistec had a creamy, flavorful green sauce paired with a nicely cooked steak. The lomo salteado the inkan was tasty with a great balance of onions and tomatoes, and the shrimp, which were cooked well, complemented the dish nicely. The portions were very generous (shared between 2 adults) and the atmosphere was welcoming. While it didn’t completely wow us, it was still a solid spot for Peruvian food, and we’d definitely consider coming back to try more dishes. 🇵🇪✨

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Matt Jitwichot · Jan 2026

After reading many positive reviews and hearing great things about the food, we decided to stop by and try this place. Overall, the experience was okay, but it did not fully match our expectations based on the reviews. It’s possible we may not have ordered the most popular or representative dishes. 1. Ceviche The ceviche was missing depth of flavor. The dominant note was sour, without much balance or complexity, which made the dish feel one-dimensional. 2. Seafood pasta The pasta was decent for the price and portion, but again, the flavor felt incomplete, as if something essential was missing from the overall composition. 3. Service One thing that stood out was that customers were expected to pack their own food. In my experience, this takes away from the level of service, especially w

Their Happy hour is 10/10, great cocktails for a great price! They gave chips and salsa for every table. Their cheese empanada was heavy and massive for the $5 price. Look at that cheese pull!! Happy hour is in the attached picture, but ranges from $5 beers to $9 cocktails. Ambiance - fun music, and a cool backyard, if was too cold to go outside but would be fun for the summers Service - sweet staff

Great value with price and portions. We both ordered individual plates: (1) 1/4 chicken rotisserie with (3) sides avocado/mashed potatoes/sweet plantains and (1) Chicken chiccarones with (2) sides rice/sweet plantains. There was no wait for a table on a Saturday night at 7PM….right off the 7 train @ court square. Prompt and friendly enough greeting and service as we were the only ones there. Ordered a Modelo and Guanabana juice (which was fresh without the overload of sugar). While you wait, you can tell the chips are homemade there and love their jalapeño dip…addicting. Generous portions which I loved. My chicken rotisserie was justtt short of being dry, but the overall flavor was flavorful. Great mashed potatoes flavor. The sweet plantains were a bit oily…perhaps a bit more sugar would b

Damn that was good. They gave me a piece of my Peru, didn’t wanted to leave. Every dish was perfectly made. Delicious. And the attention was flawless. Shut out to Beatriz and Matias.
