Reviews
I ordered the Tallarin Saltado con pollo. It came out quickly which was nice, but it was super bland. Noodles and ingredients were cooked well, but no flavor. It was also super watery. I’ve had this dish in Peru, Chile, and in many restaurants here in the States. I’ve even made it at home and it’s easy and delicious. I was hoping to find a great Peruvian restaurant close to home, but this wasn’t it. If I can make something better at home, why go pay more at a restaurant? Regardless of the service and atmosphere, you have to get the food right. I will come back to amazing food in a crappy location, but not come back to crappy food in an amazing location. Sadly, one and done. I wouldn’t go back.
It took about 25 minutes to bring me a bill after I finished and the place was still empty when I left. I had to ask for the receipt even though they picked up my plate and I declined desert. I’m not complaining just to complain and I never write reviews…..I just don’t come back. I sincerely hope they turn it around, fix little things, fix the food, and get crazy busy. Good luck.
For the cook….yes I cleared off the plate, but that’s because I paid for it, I was hungry, I’m cheap and don’t waste money, and don’t ever send food back. I just deal with it and never come back, but it wasn’t good.
interior is also cool. this place is way bigger than it looks on the outside!
Parking is a bit unusual. Directly west of the building is a rather slim one-way road that leads around the side, then the back, and then the east side of the building. You essentially end up between the Inka Trails building and the west side of Eddie’s Pizzeria.
On our visit, there was only two cars in the parking area. Not sure if those were workers vehicles or customers. Generally, if there’s not a reasonable amount of traffic, we will usually move on. Being that it was our anniversary, we decided to check it out anyway.
Once inside, the place was nearly empty with one customer leaving. It’s very welcoming with nice pictures, uplifting wall colors, and paintings on the wall. The hostess/waitress was very pleasant and seated us right away.
We tried a few dishes (along with food to go), and it came out rather quick.
We ordered the saltado de pollo dish with chicken, rice, french fries, and a rather light sauce. Presentation was awesome. It was filling, unfortunately, my wife and I could both taste the soy sauce in the sauce. There wasn’t much flavor or spices otherwise. They were rather light on the chicken as well. I’d estimate only 4-5 small pieces of chicken.
To go, we ordered the tallarin salgado pollo. It was also filling but short on flavor, short on the chicken quantity, and overall, rather bland. On the positive side, the dishes themselves were affordable with most dishes not over $15.
We ordered a particular flowered drink, and after we both finished it, the waitress didn’t offer refills or ask us if we wanted water. In other words, despite us being the only patrons inside, we weren’t “catered to” as much as we were use to. Despite this, we still left a 30% tip. Service could definitely be improved with more attention to the customers needs. As previously stated, the waitress was pleasant, it’s just that her waitressing skills could be improved for a better overall experience.
I’d rate the food 3.5 and the service a 3.5 star experience.
On this particular day, we were actually looking for Cuban food, but found out our usual spot in Rancho Cucamonga had gone out of businesses. With it raining and limited options, we ended up at Inka Trails.
I really wanted to like Inka Trails. We may visit again, however, after trying several dishes, nothing was particularly flavorful or impressive. With no refills and lack of service in a practically empty restaurant was also an issue to deal with.
Ate, Aji De Gallina (chicken) and Loma Saltado (beef)
