So many positives make for a 5 Star Peruvian restaurant experience. Perfect for a date night! Thoughtful, well designed interior is prepared for small and large group seating. Love the working fireplace, high ceilings, and exposed beams!!Knowledgeable and attentive wait staff. Arrived for lunch New Year's Day and enjoyed Chicken Empanadas and split an order of Tallarin Verde con Pollo. Missing from previous Peruvian restaurants: bread with Aji sauce and Alfajores (dessert).Can't wait to return for dinner!

Disappointed in the fact I was charged an 18% in house dinning fee. That is a lot of money to charge customers on top of the 3% credit card fee and the state taxes. I don't recall seeing this posted anywhere prior to eating but it's possible it may have been in small letters and I just missed it. When I asked the server she said it includes gratuity but the receipt to sign also had the tipping line so?! This needs to be disclosed in a better manner to ensure the customers know what they are getting themselves into simply for dining in.With that being said, the food was good and the location inside is beautiful. I really enjoyed my Lomo saltado. I love Peruvian food, just bummed at the total cost and fees of everything. Service was decent. The waitress seemed to be serving the whole restaurant by herself and was very busy.

Quaint restaurant, beautiful interior with high wood beam ceilings, skylights and a fireplace. Small menu but worthy. Lomo Saltado was perfect and the right portion, the rib eye steak was so tender and full of flavor from the seasoning they use, would definitely order again.Hubby ordered chicken with spinach and basil sauce, tasty but not amazing. Wish I had bread to soak up the juices on my plate. We also had the empanadas, steak was perfectly cooked and tender, shrimp was in a creamy sauce. Plastic plates did not impress. Customer service was very good, even though there was only 1 waiter for a few busy tables; mught ha e been the owner or manager.I was hoping for Peruvian icecream or some type of dessert, nada. We will be back!

Wow! I love me a good lomo Saltado but what really helps is the green sauce that comes with it. Ordered to go, & there's neither any bread (which is usually complimentary with the dish) NOR ANY SAUCE! Service was fast and quick but.. what the?? Unreal.All of their other locations provide the sauce and 2-3x the portion of what they served up. For $28.25 with tax, what the everloving heck is this place? So disappointed.

I loved Inka Mama's for years, and this location is no exception. In fact, we really appreciate it the beautiful ambience here and the subtle changes to the menu that highlight specific dishes, such as the Ajiaco! This dish was delicious. We also got the Inka Special and empanadas (which are always amazing)! The drink choices are super fun and satisfying. Stavros, the owner, is a wonderful man who really made us feel welcome. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do so! You will not be disappointed. I saw that had a couple bad reviews, but I think it's just that those reviewers don't know Peruvian food. This place is top-notch.

Amazing Peruvian experience for you foodies!PROs: The staff was amazing, the manager was our waiter and he was top notch. The decor is very cool with a South American Native vibe. Very large full bar - the West Coast IPA on tap was delicious. We had the halibut ceviche, plantains, and ribeye saltado. All it was flavorful, balanced, and well portioned. I highly recommend this place. Also, the bathrooms are spacious, well stocked, and clean. CONs: Parking is a little tight due to all the shops in the plaza but there is an overflow lot across the street for free.

Ceviche was delicious with just a bit of spice to it, and we enjoyed both the arroz con pollo and Inka Special with chicken. Really delicious and authentic pisco sours as well! Nice environment offering the often hard-to-find restaurant interior where a conversation with your dining companions can actually take place. I really liked it and will be back!

Came here on my birthday on a beautiful SaturdayMet Stavros, incredible vibes.My wife chose this place and i keep kissing her for doing so -- vibes are immaculate, the decor is on point, and it's the best ceviche I've ever had. Tons of lime, spice, freshness , blew me awayStill haven't had my entree -- told Stavros to choose whatever he wants.Will be RUNNING back to this place. Also, great lighting for photos - my wife looks stunning here (and everywhere)

This place is awesome, food quality and service were fantastic...and drinks were very solid. My new favorite in San Clemente. Paella and Arroz con Pollo with spicy green sauce, off the charts and a Canton Crush made my day!

I really wanted to like this place. There was a very strong cleaning smell upon entering the building. Most of the food was ok but barely got any meat and mostly onions and veggies on meat dishes. The ceviche was really good, the empanadas were just ok. The soupy seafood dish was flavorless. The green sauce and margaritas were good. Overall cute ambiance and good service. Solid 3.5 stars.
