El Inka Peruvian Cuisine - Portland

Delicious domestic art peruvian eating in a comfortable environment! After I picked up a job last year, my wife and I both got the Lomo-saltado, our adult son got the Tacu-Tacu-Con-bistec, and our teenage son with autism got the crispy chicken pliers with rice. We all loved our eating and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive, although there was only one other latin in the insert, a hispanese family. my wife chose this place to celebrate her birthday (again) since she loves peruvian eating on the day before thanksgiving (11/24) before I could mention her birthday, if they did something special, they brought out some free warmed Dessert cookie sandwiches with a kind of karamell filling to honor from thanksgiving! we're gonna go back.

No words can describe how grateful I felt when El Inka re-opened last year! One of the best restaurants in Portland, by far. As a vegetarian, I was hesitant to try this restaurant for the first time many years ago, but there vegetarian options are stellar: our favorites being the tacu tacu (the best I had even including the ones I've tried in Peru) and the saltado vegetariano. Perhaps though, it's the sauces that steal the show and the owners who take such great care in their service and their cuisine.

Authentic and tastes like home made. Great service. Everything we have had is made well and very traditionally prepared.

We stopped in here on a whim because the reviews were good. Don't let the exterior fool you, this food is delicious. We had empanadas to start, and moved on to some rice and chicken dishes, everything was fantastic. The portions were great and everything was seasoned wonderfully. Can't say enough good things about this place. An easy 5 stars.

We ordered the roasted chicken, grillled beef hearts, and the fish ceviche. The foods were really delicious and both of us finished everything. The owner was so nice as well! She explained about the ingredients as this is our first time trying Peruvian foods. The house sauces were awesome as well. Definitely will be back!
