It had been a hot minute since I'd been to El Pollo Inka. We used to go regularly but the quality started to go downhill, then the pandemic hit, and when we tried it again it was this weird "order at a counter" and then the service was non-existent, the live music disappeared, and the food became mediocre (chicken was dry, beef became chewy). Why did we decide to go back? I guess it was driving by the new El Pollo Inka Express that took over the KFC/Pizza Hut location made me think about the aji amarillo sauce (a little too much). I also missed a good rotisserie chicken and I used to enjoy the lomo saltado. I guess I figured if they were expanding, maybe they regrouped and figured it all out again. So, we went. They are back. Friendly service. Aji amarillo sauce in the squirt bottles. Juicy chicken at a reasonable price. Tender beef in the lomo saltado. They brought back the music. The musician was playing Christmas jingles on the pan flute. Campy but festive. Bottom line: I'll be back even if the music isn't. The tasty food was back.

This is the first time I've had Peruvian food. I fell in love the first bite. The soup was incredible, warm and flavorful. The main dishes were wonderful, Lomo Saltado was my absolute favorite. The only downside was the dessert, which fell short of the quality of the rest of the meal. It didn't quite hit the mark and felt like an afterthought compared to the otherwise amazing offerings.Despite that, I'd still highly recommend El Pollo Inka for the excellent service and great food. Just maybe skip the dessert!

Let me first start off with our service was great! We got in and got seated right away. We then were greated by our server who was very kind and sweet, and helped us with our questions about the menu! She brought us our drinks right away and our complimentary bread, 10 outta 10. Ordered the Vanita de Pollo and can say the food wasn't too greasy and the soup was amazing. Would recommend asking questions about their menu if you haven't been here before but they have a great selection. And the table and bathroom were very clean, with awesome music playing, it was a great time!Ask for the green sauce!!

Never did I think the best fried rice I'd ever have come out of a South Bay Peruvian chain. If I had to recommend anything out of their vast menu, it is HANDS DOWN the Chaufa de Pollo. It has gloriousssss amounts of chicken and somehow the fried rice as a whole is so so juicy. Don't ask me how. Just order it. Right now!

There are a number of things to love about this location: -Ample parking-Excellent and attentive service-A nice, welcoming atmosphere -Plenty of seating, especially for large groups-Good music on rotation that's not too loud-A well thought out menu with options for individual meals or family style sharingBut, goodness. The food is so bland. This was my first time dining at any El Pollo Inka location. It's a local chain and popular with the family. Apparently, the restaurant has been around since I was in elementary school growing up in Los Angeles, but I had never heard of it. It's a Peruvian restaurant with an origin story about a family that immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1970s. Sounds like the family has poured everything -- their hearts and love -- into the restaurant. The most popular dish, from what I have heard is the Pollo a la Brasa, the Peruvian rotisserie chicken, which I very happily ordered. The dish was quite fresh, but the chicken had no noticeable flavor. I was shocked, because I hear that nearly 10 different herbs and spices are used to make this signature chicken. We also went with the calamari. Which was actually more flavorful and more interesting overall. It came with boiled potatoes, which were so bland and did not add anything at all, and marinated onions -- and a ton of them. The canario beans and rice, however, were absolutely delicious. I could have had a bowl of that and nothing else. And if I ever return, that may be all that I order -- though I am interested in a number of seafood dishes they offer. And I really enjoyed the bowl of soup provided at the start of (most) meals. So, not a good impression. And not eager to return. But I say give them at least once chance to interest you.

My coworkers and I often dine here during lunch time. It's never too busy and the staff are all very friendly. We always talk about trying something new, but seem to always just go back to the classic lomo saltado.

Ordered delivery through DoorDash - food arrived promptly and was still warm. The ceviche pescado definitely needed to marinated in lemon or lime juice for another couple of hours - it smelled very fishy and the texture was very, very raw so we ended up adding more lemon juice and putting it back in the fridge for the next day.Aji salsa was delicious and had a kick to it, but it was the most flavorful item we received. The beef in the lomo saltado was on the tougher side, but still able to be chewed without hurting your jaw. I did ask for a medium rare cook but it was definitely well done LOL. Overall, the beef needed more soy sauce, tomato flavor, salt and pepper. Curious to try out their other dishes but this wasn't the best experience! Can't say much about ambience since I ordered for take out.

Want a 3rd world dining experience? Go here. Place is filthy AF, bathrooms worse than a gas station's, disgusting! If they are that dirty, how's the kitchen? Glass between booths also filthy. Truly stomach turning 3rd world lack of cleanliness. Food is actually pretty tasty, however, service is SLOOOOOW and inattentive. Will not be back. 2 of 4 people had runs later that evening. Stay far far away. Filthy, nasty and just not worth it.

My brother and I split a whole chicken with brown rice, soup & salad for $30.80 before tip. This is more than half off the price I spent at Wurstkuche for my brother and I. I actually felt guilty for spending so little on my food. I left an $8 tip.

Door dash order and shouldOf known they would not of cared about the quality. Steak was way over cooked, tasted like wood! I can't believe the restaurant allowed that food to go out! Lesson learned! I guess sometimes restaurants think there so big and forget what put them on the map to begin with! BTW, not the first time my food was delivered like this and yes it was this particular Pollo Inka on Hawthorne based on receipt!
