    20$ for the chicken on the menu online, but in person is now 24$! ....online it says with salad...but in person, no salad.

    I use to love this place, the food was good, the portions were great and the service was wonderful. It was so nice to know that we still had decent restaurants in the neighborhood.But when you find out that shrinkflation is part of your business tactic, it is so disheartening to loyal consumers...When you raise a dish by 4-5$, remove the salad portion, and cut the meat portions in half-- you feel robbed. If you are going to remove the salad - remove it from your menu photos as well. Horrible. The service is still wonderful!!

    Place is cute and had some great music playing as we entered. Service was fast and polite. Food & drinks were great. Stuffed avocado was delicious!! Recommend trying this place if in the area.

    The DJ was such a hit! He played all the bops when I dined here. The restaurant was cozy, with its mini outdoor area by the entrance. They had so many selections to choose from, and I'm sure each would have been equally as large portioned as what we got. My favorite was the Ceviche Mixto. That sweet potato was so good! I didn't realize Inca Paisa was a chain! Definitely worth checking out.

    This location is a little smaller than the one in flushing but so much better in service & food. The decor is just as cutsie as the flushing location. Great photo spot by the bathrooms. Came in for happy hour, our drinks did not disappoint =] There was only one female working at the time I believe & she did it all without missing a beat. The only thing we didn't like was her shift ended so she closed our tab when we actually would have stayed, consumed more drinks/food since our other friend ended up meeting us there. Why was that necessary? My vegan dish was yummy, all around good experience & will be back to this location. Flushing location should take notes...just saying. Enjoy!!

    Overall nice and elegant atmosphere and of course my favorite Peruvian chicken with green sauce. Service was fairly quick with my takeout order. I stopped in just to get that - a whole chicken. Would come back again for their generous happy hour (M-F 1 to 6 PM). NICE!

    When you find a local restaurant tucked far away in a strip mall in Astoria, you get suspicious on the quality of food and experience. But boy we're we in for a feast. Vibes - SUPER down to earth and lots of locals (e.g. Colombians and Latin folks) who frequent this spot. I knew this was the jackpot for some really authentic and filling Peruvian/Colombian food. Food - AMAZING. Jalea was my favorite and you get this massive pile of fried shrimp, fish, calamari over a bed of yucca fries and onions. Super crispy but also very moist and tender. Bistec was also an excellent choice. And they also have a great selection of really yummy and refreshing seafood ceviche (can't go wrong with mixto). Drinks - amazing. They do the Pisco sours justice here and cocktails were around less than $15 per. Very reasonable Prices were super reasonable as I thought with the same equivalent meal you'll be paying at least 25% more with smaller portions in places in Manhattan. I will be back for sure!

    That is a delicious jalea!

    It is a tiny place with mostly bar stools setting type, not really the most comfortable when you are not tall. The staff is friendly and the place is pleasant. The food was good, but the best margaritas need some work.

    Food was really flavorful they have multiple sauces that just add more flavor to your meal. They had a live dj music very smooth would definitely recommend and return to this place

    I came here for dinner to celebrate a colleague's new marriage. Firstly, there is a parking lot which is a huge win for the area! The interior is nice and there is a good amount of seating. I ordered a virgin pina colada, which was amazing!! For my entree I ordered arroz chaufa with shrimp which was really tasty and the portion was very generous. Service was fast and the waiter was very sweet! Overall, I had a great experience!

    Chicken combo
    Yvonne M.

    Such a delicious meal with great variety! Went during lunch and ordered the quarter chicken combo, came with avocado salad, Peruvian fried rice, fries & sausages. Didn't realize how big the portions were, us two wasn't able to make a dent! Service was friendly & attentive and loved the fedora hats decor indoor, really summery vibe!

    Inca Paisa is conveniently located in the LIC/Astoria area. They have plenty of parking as it located within the shopping center. My favorites are the empanadas from the appetizer menu. I ate them before I was able to take a pic. The margaritas are wonderful. I can't say enough great things about the staff as they are always wonderful when I come. I am happy I have a place walking distance from my home with great food,service and staff. The prices are good depending on when you come.

    Ceviche Mixto, 6 Empanadas
    Ann B.

    Cute little place in Broadway complex with lots of parking. Service was hard to get but when we flag them down, they come right away. It was a slow Tuesday night with less than 10 people in the restaurant but it took me finishing my appetizer to finally get a drink. Looked like the bartender was too busy entertaining a patron so finally had to flag another waiter to ask for my drink. Food was mediocre. We got: 1) ceviche mixto: 4/10 presentation was messy 2) empanadas: 7/10 not enough filling 3) pechuga de pollo: 6/10 too much cream 4) entraña a la parrilla (skirt steak with seafood): 5/10 meat was SUPER salty, seafood had so much cream and waitress didn't ask how I wanted my steak so it came well done and it was tough to eat even though it was a skirt steak Overall, the waiters were nice but probably won't go back again as an option.

    Lomo saltado chicha morada pechuga de pollo
    Matthew C.

    This restaurant is a rare gem. The food was amazing. Best meal I've had in ages. The lomo saltado was tender and juicy, the pechuga de pollo con champiñones was incredible. The chicha morada was delicious and interesting. The prices were very reasonable. This restaurant appears to be severely underrated here. I cannot fathom how it could get less than five stars. I'd give six.

I was all about that green sauce. Both empanadas were really tasty. I recommend this cute little spot if you're in the mood for a taste of Latin America here in the UES.

They offer a number of baked Colombian pastries, empanadas, breakfast with eggs, coffee, milk-based drinks, and teas. The owner/staff(?) was kind and helpful in answering my questions about ingredients. I saw on their menu online that their horchata was made with oat and rice, which I was excited to see, since most places usually include some type of regular milk. She was able to confirm there was no dairy. I also asked for her suggestion for which empanada to get--chicken or beef--and she suggested both, then with a thoughtful gesture said she'd give me both if I bought one, since they were closing soon. Thanks for the chance to try both! An extra 1/2 star for excellent service! The horchata is on the sweet side, which is as expected since it's a sweet drink to begin with. I'd describe it a creamy, warm embrace with balanced notes of cinnamon. Personally I'd go a little stronger on the cinnamon though that's more of an individual preference. The empanadas had decent flavor, a fair amount of juicy meat filling and I was glad the filling wasn't too salty. This is a tiny store so there are only a couple seats inside, and a few additional seats outside. They've created a lively atmosphere with tropical wallpaper and a woven chandelier that creates a beautiful sprinkle of lighting around the cafe.
