This is a Colombian restaurant that is walking distance from The Noguchi Museum. You get to view beautiful works of art then dine on some delicious Colombian food and good music which does get quite loud especially on weekends since there is a DJ set. Their menu offers an array of dishes ranging from small bites to feast for the eyes and your belly. One dish or rather protein that is a focal point in their menu is chicken since they serve a lean cut of chicken breast or rotisserie chicken paired with rice and other sides. Do prepare your stomach to feast at this restaurant and your ears to listen to some lively music while dining. The servers are very sweet, attentive, and patient for first timer such as myself visiting this restaurant especially in this NYC heat. But I do speak Spanish and part of my family is from Colombia so it was a plus and flex for me since I got to connect more with them. Overall, this restaurant is ideal spot to dine at after visiting The Noguchi Museum. That's my personal recommendation since you get to feed the mind with art history then feed yourself with some delicious Colombian food. read more

I've been to Inca Paisa before, and unfortunately it has never been my first choice. The only reason I return is because it's my grandmother's preferred restaurant since she lives nearby. We arrived around 6:20-6:30 p.m. There were plenty of open tables, but we weren't seated until much later. During that time, the male waiter seemed more concerned with other tasks. He was seating a woman whose party of six hadn't yet arrived, going back and forth to the kitchen, handing out receipts, and collecting menus. After all of that, he finally approached us--not to seat us--but to ask, "How long are you going to take?" I replied, "Sir, we're here to eat." He responded that the side tables were for people watching the game. I explained that we were there to dine, as this is a restaurant. Even after we were seated, he avoided our table completely. He took the order of a table that had been seated after us while we continued waiting. About 20 minutes later, a female waitress noticed we had not been helped and took over our table. She was attentive, professional, and the only reason we received service. After placing our order, we waited about an hour for our entrées. The food was also underwhelming. The Papa a la Huancaína came with an excessive amount of sauce and very few potatoes. The Ceviche Mixto lacked the bright citrus flavor that ceviche should have. My grandmother, who is very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, found it bland, and even after taking it home we couldn't improve it. The Bistec Encebollado was slightly too salty for our taste. The beans simply weren't to my liking, though that's a matter of personal preference. Another issue is the dining room layout. The seating is extremely tight, to the point where it feels like you're almost elbow-to-elbow with the tables next to you, making the experience feel cramped. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the slow and inattentive service, the long wait for food, the cramped seating, and several disappointing dishes, the experience did not justify the visit. The female waitress deserves recognition for stepping in when we had been overlooked, but unfortunately she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience. read more

Bartender Juan Jose served me at the bar on Sunday 2/15/26. This place is perfect for Happy Hour because my Passionfruit Sangria was potent! I got tipsy at first sip, and I have a high alcohol tolerance. I ordered the Sunday lunch special: the Beef Rib Soup with a side of white rice, chicken, salad and corn cake. The beef was tough, but everything else was good. TIP: Ask for some extra green sauce. It is the tastiest green sauce that I have ever had. For dessert, I had the Torta de Almojábana, which is a warmed breading pudding made from Colombian cheese bread, cornmeal, cuajada cheese and guava. It was delicious, but I did not care for the side of soft "low quality" vanilla ice cream. I would have preferred that it had been hard "high quality" ice cream so it could have melted over the dessert. My favorite brand is Ben and Jerry's. The place is big enough to seat about 25 people, and the parking lot could fit about 50 cars. It is an excellent place to do an Event. read more

Pretty good food with large portions. I ordered the chicken covered with mushroom sauce, which was essentially cream + mushrooms. My favorite of the night were the different flavorful dipping sauces (namely the aji verde). They provide complimentary fried plantain chips + aji verde, which was a great starter. Service was great as well. read more

Food took forever to arrive and my lomo saltado steak was incredibly rare, as in barely cooked... manager didn't even try to make it right. When the waitress told him he didn't even look in my direction. Looks like a lively place and I liked the idea of Peruvian and Colombian restaurant, but I won't be back. They're very disorganized. One guy got there before me and he got his food well after I got mine. Should've trusted the negative reviews I saw before I went. They need a new manager asap! The place has some potential... read more

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. read more

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!! read more

We loved the drink, especially the frozen ones Food was good. We like the seafood especially arroz con mariscos. Ceviche was average but would probably try other options They have an extensive menu so there's plenty to choose from They are located in a shopping mall so they have abundant parking, which is a huge plus read more

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!! read more

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon! Easily accessible with parking on a shopping lot. We were immediately greeted and seated. The food was incredible, we had skirt steak, rice, beans, ceviche mixto, jalea! Everything was perfect! The ambience is friendly with great music playing but not too loud. Can't wait to go back! It's so hard finding a great place with easy parking in Astoria! read more

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! read more

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! read more

A well deserved 4 stars! Welcome to Astoria Inca Paisa Astoria! First off their menu is massive; it's insane. It's like a whole book BUT how do you not have anticuchos? That's like a staple Peruvian dish. Anyways on to what we ordered: - we both got virgin piña coladas - we shared chicharron as appetizer - we shared the bandeja paisa; this dish was HUGE (it could easily feed 3 people; which is why we took some home) - we also shared a 1/4 chicken with French fries The drinks were good and the food was delicious. Everything was hot and had good flavor. The service was not 5 stars as they were lounging around and we had to keep calling them over but other than that we would definitely come back to try other dishes! See you in 2024! read more

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.

Sorry, no photos, I've been to this restaurant several times. I've dined in and have taken out. Love how they expanded the foot print of the place to allow more seating. Each dish that I've had was pretty good too. The reason why I can't give this a higher rating though is because of service. The times I've dined in, the servers are not very attentive nor do most of them see to care. A meal can last over an hour and half, simply bc you can't put in your order or you can't get your check. Or when I order for pick up, and the time says 30 mins, and then when I go, again none of the servers seem to care, and the food is not ready for another 20 mins. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I saw this place open up recently and was drawn to it because of how good it smelled outside, it was a little impromptu date night. I had the Carne Asada a la plancha it was suppose to have chimichurri but I feel like it needed a bit more seasoning, I didn't taste any chimichurri. I asked for like two different hot sauces to help elevate the flavor & it worked like a charm. My plate came with rice and beans which were my favorite part of the meal. Portions were huge in my opinion I had to have my husband help me eat some of it and we still had leftovers for home. My husband had Lomo Saltado the chicken version and it wasn't all that in our opinion. His plate came like in the picture with no beans which was a shame because the beans they make here are bomb. I also think the chicken could've been a little more seasoned but at least it was juicy and tender. A heads up that this place does not allow substitutions so beware and read everything to the T on the menu. I will definitely go back. Prices are reasonable ambiance is nice (a bit dark) service is nice enough. I'm curious about trying the rest of the food on the menu. read more

Food was really tasty ! But took off a star because of the service which could've been better. My friend and I each ordered a cocktail but it took a while for them to bring it and it wasn't even that busy. Also we didn't notice until we were almost done with our meal that we never got our water. I noticed a group of 3 sat down at a table and the server brought glasses of water right away. The jalea is for 2 people but honestly I was surprised when they brought it over because the portion was huge ! It should've said it's for a group of 4. It has yuca fries, fried calamari, fried fish, and fried shrimp which was crispy. I had to ask for sauces because it seems like they forgot. Also the bandeja paisa was a big portion for just one person so my friend and I shared that dish along with the Jalea. We finished the bandeja paisa but there was a lot of the jalea left, we barely made a dent. The appetizer causa de pollo was pretty good. All of the food was good, just the service wasn't as good, the server never came to check on us unless we had to ask for something. read more

I was expecting more of a Peruvian restaurant and this is definitely more of a Colombian menu. With that being said the lomo Saltado was decent but nothing to write home about. Our server was a nice guy and very attentive but for some reason most of their beers were not cold enough which was a bit annoying. Usually I can count on my Latino people to keep the beer ice cold but this was not the case here. read more

Best empanadas in the area!! This spot opened 2 weeks ago in the old Arepa spot. It has popular Colombian & Peruvian dishes.

Poor service despite being well staffed. Went here this past Saturday around 11am and we were the first customers. We immediately got seated and were given 2 glasses of water. Our waitress (a petite female with long straight brown hair) took our order and seemed to get annoyed (made a face) when we interrupted her conversation with other employees. The appetizer (chicharon) took over 25 minutes to arrive and the main entrees (lomo saltados) took over 30 minites to arrive. Our waitress focussed on chatting with the employees in Spanish and did not come to us once to ask how things were and if we needed anything, she totally forgot we were there. I had to remind her at least 2x to refill our water and after asking for a check she gave attitude. After handing her cash for her tip (i over tipped her, check was $54 and i tipped $15) she didnt even say thank you. read more

Used to like this restaurant a lot but now it declined a lot. Few times I been there recently, they give me old food which I tell them and some plates I had to return them back.

I used to come here when it was the arepa place so I was shocked to see that it is now a Peruvian restaurant. They remodeled the restaurant and it looks nice and spacious. They had a large selection of food items. I tried the ceviche and roasted chicken special (1/4 chicken with rice, beans, and salad). They were both tasty and filling. I was glad to see the ceviche was a decent size dish. I've been to other Peruvian restaurants where they give you such a small portion. My bf enjoyed his lomo saltado. The service was ok. I wasn't to impressed with the food here but it wasn't bad. I would come here again. read more

Inca Paisa - Inside - Peruvian Near Me - Astoria, New York

A restaurant for ALPACA. In September, we went to try Inca Paisa. A fusion Peruvian/Columbian restaurant (21-19 Broadway). We had read several articles about them online in several Facebook groups, including Give Me Astoria and East Something New in Queens. I first noticed Inca Paisa when I went to the Bel Aire diner and told my partner we needed to review them. They were swamped with patrons at that time, and we decided to go at lunchtime on a Saturday when it was less busy. We ordered the lomode de cerdo a la plancha (skirt steak, white rice, beans, sweet potatoes, and salad) and the house special calamari. Their dessert menu is very limited, so we ordered the torta de almojabana (cheese bread pudding with guava sauce and ice cream). Our dishes were excellent, perfectly cooked, and delicious. The skirt steak was cooked exactly the way I liked it, medium well done! In the process of dining, we found our waitress very helpful and attentive, giving us lots of recommendations. We also noticed how carefully they had thought out the layout and interior design of the restaurant, creating a relaxed ambiance. On the walls, for example, they had carved images of native animals found in Peru and Colombia, even an Alpaca. Yes, an Alpaca (see website for image). What also grabs your attention is the design of a jungle canopy to enter the restroom. Price approx $67 excluding tip RTG 5 STARS -probably our best restaurant pick for 2023 read more
