This location is such a gem. It's clean, decor is cute, staff a nice, food is great. The lomo saltado was perfect. Steak was tender, fries were golden, flavor was on point. Served with rice that's also seasoned well. Top it with the green sauce and it's 100! It comes with a small bowl of the chicken soup which was super flavorful and good. Got a side of plantains which were yummy. Had to ask for the bread, which was soooo good! Excited to come back to this location. read more

EL POLLO INKA - El Segundo Highly recommended! From the moment you walk in, the friendly service and lively Peruvian music set the perfect vibe. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and conveniently located near the corner of Sepulveda and PCH in El Segundo. The complimentary soup, filled with vegetables and tiny pasta, is a tasty way to start the meal. The Pollo a la Brasa ( 1/2 Chicken) was cooked to perfection--juicy, flavorful, and served with a (mid) side salad. Don't miss the delicious green ají sauce, which has a little kick and perhaps a hint of mayonnaise. Your choice of garlic rice, French fries, or beans comes with the meal. My recommendation: order the garlic rice and generously top it with the green sauce. Yum! The Papa Rellena was another standout--crispy on the outside and packed with seasoned beef and Peruvian olives on the inside. It comes with a cilantro-marinated red onion salad and an extra serving of that addictive green sauce on the side. For dessert, we shared five delicious homemade mini alfajores--the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

I had a $45 Uber credit from doing a bit of overtime at work, so I figured I might as well bring home some takeout. We got the chicken with fries, chaufa fried rice, soup, and the green sauce. The chicken with fries was a really good value for the amount of food you get. The portion was generous, and it felt like you were getting a lot for the price. The chicken had nice flavor, and the fries were a hit with the kids, which is always a win. The green sauce was good with everything, but at least for me, it worked perfectly with the chaufa fried rice. It added that tangy and spicy contrast to the rice and chicken, which made the chaufa even better. The chaufa was my favorite. It was weirdly addicting! The portion is big enough for 2-3 people, but it is the kind of thing where you keep going back for more. Honestly, the chaufa by itself could be a full dinner. Pickup was easy, and the food was ready without any problems. Overall, a good takeout dinner and I would definitely order again. If I end up doing more overtime at work, El Pollo Inka will be first on my list for a comforting day-ending treat. read more

Great service and great flavorful food. I ordered breaded chicken and while I didn't see it on the menu, they did make it for me and it didn't disappoint. The table ordered ceviche mixto, lomo saltado, and I ordered a side of the huancaina sauce to pour over my food and that side portion did not disappoint. read more

For years, El Pollo Inka has been a hit. And this location is no exception. Delicious entrees that are consistent with the other locations. I can't get enough of the Lomo Saltado! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Meals come with a very tasty soup. And don't forget about the Inka cola and green sauce to complete your meal. Friendly and quick staff. Ample seating for small or large parties. Clean restrooms. And plenty of parking. read more

It was my first time here. We'd gone never door for a massage and when we were done we were hungry so we thought we'd check it out . When we entered were immediately greeted by the staff. A young lady seated us wherever we chose to sit and took our drink order. She was very friendly and patiently answered all of our questions about the menu. The food was very good (not great) my rice was cold, which was weird because everything else on the plate was very hot. The house salad was very large and was only iceberg lettuce. I ordered a seafood plate, it was seasoned well and if I were to ever go back I'd probably try something different . The menu was extensive, so I'd love to try something different. I want to give them a 4 but due to the quick, patient and friendly service from our server I will give them a 5. read more

El Pollo Inka - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - El Segundo, California

Delicious and great value! We ordered the yuca, lomo saltado, ceviche pescado and 2 glasses of wine was about $66. To start they give you a comforting chicken and rice soup and when you add the Aji sauce- yum! All the dishes were amazing and tasty as well as the salsas. While I like spicy, the red for me got some kick. The green salsa had the perfect spice for me. My favorite was eating every piece of the lomo saltado (beef, rice, red onion, tomato) with both the salsa verde and Aji sauce all in one bite- flavors are phenomenal! Servers were nice and happy. We'll definitely be back read more

Food was not as authentic as I'm used to. The green sauce was watery and just underwhelming. But for the area and demographics I feel that it catered to that. Service was great in the beginning we had an attentive waitress and she had to go to lunch and the waiter that replaced her was ignoring had to ask multiple times and would avoid eye contact and only waiting 4 tables of customers. read more

I was in El Segundo for work and was debating on driving all the way to Torrance when I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they opened a new location less than a quarter mile from my hotel! I'm happy to report that the Lomo Saltado here is *almost* as good as the main location. Is it just as good? I honestly don't know because there's just something special about the OG location, but - this spot is still pretty damn good, and we left happy. read more

This EPI, seems to be one of the relatively newer franchise locations that has opened in the area over the years. Consequently, some menu items differ from other locations. It is in a small strip mall with limited parking shared with a local pizza joint. The service here was really excellent. The restaurant is a smaller than the other older locations. Consequently, there is less, but ample seating. It has the feel more of a fast food place, but it is still a sit down restaurant. The food quality was the same as the other locations, for the dishes that are in common. The only thing to watch out for is that the timers in the bathrooms are really short. So you need to wave at the motion sensor so you don't get stuck in the dark. The bathrooms are clean. If you are near this location or stop by LAX and want to avoid traffic, this is a good place to stop on the way home. read more

Inka is always a great choice for lunch or dinner. Their dishes are flavorful and filling as they offer great portion sizes and the food doesn't feel too heavy after you eat. The lomo saltado is always a must order and comes with steak, tomatoes, onions, and fries. It comes with a delicious and spicy green sauce that goes well with everything. If you dine in during lunch you also receive a cup of chicken soup with every entree ordered. Service is fast and friendly and they always make sure you're stocked on green sauce and water. Ambiance is great and have plenty of seating inside. A few other must orders is their piccantes and their fried rices. read more

So happy Inka came to West LA! First time at this location and these dishes did not disappoint. My go to is the Picante and Chaufa. The creamy and slightly spicy picante has such a unique taste that's hard to get anywhere else. The Chaufa is also my favorite! With the green sauce, the blend is so good. Each entree also comes with their delicious signature green soup. This location allows for dine in and to go orders. The servers come to the table for dine in options or you can order at the counter for to go. It's a casual and homey restaurant with delicious food! Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it! read more

Fantastic, family-owned spot with great food and attentive service. My husband is a Peruvian food enthusiast and he loves this place.

Also - the staff are really lovely, if you have questions about a dish - just ask, they're happy to walk you through the menu to find exactly what you want. Parking is easy and free. And they do karaoke on Thursdays :) This may become a regular stop for us! read more

First time visiting this Peruvian restaurant on PCH in el Segundo. You can either order to go at the counter or seat at a table or one of their cozy booths and order for eating in. I ordered the picante pollo that was on their lunch special menu. All entrees come with a rice and chicken soup that is pretty tasty. My food was a mix of potatoes and chicken with a thick sauce. It wasn't that spicy though. It comes with a side of white rice. It was flavorful. Next time I will likely try something else like their 1/4 chicken with two sides. Our server was great and spent time telling us an out the menu. read more

I love this place and it's food. Unfortunately the workers are not very nice at this location. I had hair in my food. When they took my plate, no one said sorry or anything. They just took it silently when it came to the bill, they didn't offer me a discount, free dessert, or anything for their apologies of the inconvenience of the hair. wasn't expecting anything, but at least they could've apologize instead of having attitude that there was a hair. I would expect a little better service in a matter of this situation. read more

So excited to see El Pollo Inka in El Segundo! We dined in on 1/5/25 and everything was great. The restaurant is nice and clean. They just opened 3 months ago. The food is the same, tasty and fresh. We always order saltado. My husband and I ordered saltado de mariscos, the kids ordered lomo saltado. We also love their plantain. The soup was hearty with chunks of chicken, we sort of prefer the soup at the other locations but it was good. We didn't get bread like we usually do. Customer service is great! Everyone was attentive and friendly. They were quick to get anything we needed. They are located on Sepulveda and El Segundo close to Top Golf. We also liked the plates and the decor was welcoming. Definitely will be back at this location. read more

I've given this location a couple of trys. Food was initially very salty, chicken not crispy. Hermosa Beach is the bomb. Today I went in again to order chicken and they said they ran out of chicken. I took time to contemplate what to order because all I wanted was chicken. I ordered a shrimp dish. Just shrimp. I got a fish dish. They offered to replace the french fries with beans. These beans were watered down and terrible. Just curious how I got a dish with fish, shrimp and squid and excessively watered down beans. The name of this place is Pollo Inka. They need to have pollo. I would pick Hermosa. I've gone to three others, but here, no chicken? read more

I stay in this area a lot. And, although I like to try different restaurants, I frequently eat at El Pollo Inka. They never disappoint.

It's amazing. read more

I've been to other pollo inkas, this spot is at the top of the list. I work close by so we've ordered take out plenty of times. The food is consistently good. The lomo saltado is great.

Been going to the one in Lawndale for many years. So happy they open this one in El Segundo. About five miles closer. Their chicken is always tender and juicy and prices are good with the amount of food you get. If you like Peruvian food and haven't been here, I highly recommend this place. Haven't had a bad dish here yet. read more

So excited this location finally opened. It brings the unique Peruvian flavors to the northern edge of the South Bay. Most entrees include a serving of the delicious chicken, rice, cilantro soup. Prices are very reasonable and portions big. The service was a team effort, and made sure that drinks were filled and needs met. Of the locations I had previously visited, this was the brightest. It's a mid size space with several booths and tables. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot and looks like it's easy to get takeout. We enjoyed our food and look forward to coming back for more! read more

My go to dish is always a ceviche dish. This visit was different. I went for the quarter rotisserie chicken. From the side options, I selected salad and rice. The meal came with soup. The soup at every El Pollo Inka location is delicious. It could be a meal in itself but I always have to add an entree. The rotisserie chicken was perfectly flavored. What a perfect meal for $11.00. The servers were pleasant and attentive. read more

The food is fine and delicious. It's a Peruvian authentic restaurant. There were so many options that I wanted to try and I would love to visit again. Lomo Saltado was well cooked. The interior is fine and clean. The service was a bit hit or miss. I know it was getting close to late but even prior to closing time, they kept checking up for checks and kinda gave a vibe that they were closing and trying to hurry us. It may have been me but I would visit again to see if the service is rushing its customers or not. read more

Absolutely LOVE El Pollo Inka! Have gone to the one in Torrance for years, but so very happy that they opened this location closer to us in the northern South Bay Area. Good amount of free parking in outdoor lot. Brand new inside with cool art and comfortable seating. Amazing service!! Perfect chicken. Juicy and never dry. Love the green sauce that comes with it...always get extra! Soup is incredible. Definitely need to get the Lomo Saltado as well. Can't wait to go back!! read more

What a great place to get Peruvian food. It is some of the best in town. The place is so pretty inside, it is not huge, it is comfortable. This is a family owned place and boy do they serve great food. Parking is easy and the prices are super fair. The service is so nice. They really make you feel at home. You will be so comfortable and it is a calming place. The food is amazing. All the entrees come with the most heart warming soup. What I love is their rice and we get a few and share. They have the best Cilantro Rice, so good and packed with flavor. The Arroz rice has the best garlic flavor. We also love their fried rice. It is all great. The appetizers are also great. We have tried their Papa a la Huancaina, which is sliced potatoes served on a bed of crispy rice with the best cheese sauce. For mains try their Chicharrón de Calamares, which is fried calamari with potatoes and the best lime marinated onions. The Tallarin Saltado de Mariscos is so great. It has fish, shrimp, squid and scallops all served with Onions, Cilantro, Tomatoes, and Green Onions with Spaghetti. You can't go wrong with this dish. All of their food is great. Have the best time. read more
