    I've recently started exploring Peruvian food, so I can't give you my 100% like this is the best one. But I can't say with 100% certainty that this is up there with some of the best! From good flavor to fun presentation, I would say it's really good. The waitress that we had was also very nice and very informative. And gave some great suggestions on what to try for first timers at the restaurant.

    Decided to have lunch before heading to the airport and I'm glad I decided to stop by Inca Social. I was really looking for a vibrant atmosphere with some traditional Peruvian and this was an awesome pick. I'll start by saying that the bartender assisting me was very friendly and gave his opinions on what to get. I decided to get chicha rum (one of the restaurant classics), this was something slightly fruity but with a nice warm balance of warm spice from the ChiCha...the combination was perfect. Next, the Inca balls were my absolute favorite-- you can choose between all of them being cheese filled, meat filled, or mix them up (my recommendation), it was fresh, perfect amount of filling, and a nice crunch! Pair it with the sauce they include on the plate to add additional flavor (you won't regret it). And lastly, my main entree was their popular breakfast platter that included rolls, pork, meat tamale, and sweet potato's-- this is not your typical breakfast but definitely flavor packed! The robust flavor of the pork with the pickled onion together was my favorite part! My only complaint is I wish the sweet potato's weren't so soggy...I wish they had a bit of crunch to it, they almost tasted like they were sitting out for a while. Regardless, my entire experience here would be a solid 8/10 and I would come again. I recommend this place for some solid Peruvian dishes.

    I love eating here, always a great experience and the food is 10/10 to ME. I love how flavorful everything else, always great service and the restaurant is colorful and clean inside. There's an area where you can take pics on a swing and a llama I enjoy my visit every single time. I go on Wednesday because they have " SALTADO WEDNESDAYS & HALF OFF BOTTLES OF WINE" but everyday is a special they run and you can pick whatever day fits your interests. in the picture we tried the Machu Picchu roll , lomo a la huancaina, Inca balls and tallarin saltado!

    The jalea was pretty tasty with a crunchy, flaky batter and spicy mayo dipping sauce. Had various types of seafood from fish to calamari to mussels. The Pescado a lo macho was my 2nd favorite, it had a nice savory creamy sauce that paired well with the white rice and seafood. Sadly the texture of the fish was a bit too soft as the description said it was pan seared and the octopus was super chewy. I liked the sear on the skewers, and could tell they grilled them. The shrimp was my favorite, then the beef heart which tasted like steak, then the chicken. The ceviche was too tart for my taste but I think that's just how the dish is generally. Modern decor, bustling restaurant, decent service (although a bit slow).

    Such a great happy hour spot! Great ambiance inside and ample outdoor seating. We came around 530 on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the tacos happy hour special and the arroz con pollo, both were excellent! Such a large portion as well, I ate the leftover rice for days! Decent happy hour prices, good service. We will be back!

    Instagram restaurant with great food. I had the lomo saltado which was well prepared. The steak was tender and well seasoned. The fries were on the side which was perfect. Ambiance was giving fun! I especially loved the lamas on the wall and the swing. I went during lunch but I would love to see what this place is like on a weekend evening. I'm sure that bar serves up some lovely cocktails. Can't wait to return. Service was impeccable. Great staff! Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    Great place for happy hour with amazing prices. Highly recommend the chicha rum if you do go for happy hour. The food is also delicious but a bit pricey. The staff can be a slow during happy hour times since they get pretty busy. There's also a lot of well decorated places for photo ops. It's definitely really loud inside though so I don't recommend it if you're trying to catch up with a soft spoken friend and want to hear them talk.

    Happy Hour: Thursdays are Ladies Night! $3 Margaritas Food: love the food here! I had the pork tacos and the chicken sliders. Both weee delicious. Service: attentive servers Atmosphere: LIVELY!!! So keep that in mind that you may need to speak up during the rush dinner time. Ambiance: there are 2 swings with a beautiful backdrop for your IG photos. Super cute. Tip: The Arlington location is bigger than the Vienna one. Keep that in mind if you have a large crowd. Both have fantastic staff!!!

    This restaurant was mediocre. The vibe was great for a chill dinner with friends or family. There's food was just okay. There wasn't anything special about it. The food definitely wasn't authentic. The ceviche was fresh, the empanadas were the most popular, but the pesto pasta wasn't good at all. The pasta was too saucy. All of the food came out cold. They do have a lot of variety of options on the menu. The service was great. The waiter always checked on our table and was very friendly.

    Placed an order to go on a Sunday night with a 30 minute estimate for pick-up. TL;DR: (+) would recommend empanadas, (-) temperature is inconsistent, and (-) had a bad entree This was my first time trying Inca! Inca is a large restaurant with ample seating indoors and outdoors. I ordered take out so I can't speak about the service, but I can say my entree was luke warm when I arrived to pick it up exactly at the recommended time. Pros: The beef empanada was delicious, warm, large, and perfectly made. They provide ample sauces for those who need extra. The churros were amazing - not too dry and not at all stale. And the chocolate sauce? Sublime. Also, the lomo was perfectly medium rare. Cons: The chicken empanada was fairly bland (so perhaps it's a safe bet for those who are less adventurous). The entree was luke warm, which was incredibly disappointing. To add on, the dish was overall lackluster and drowning in an oil. The meat had a smell that was very off putting - I'm not sure if it was the dish the meat was cooked in or the oil itself, but the flavor and the stench was awful. It was a real shame because the meat was a gorgeous cut and cooked perfectly. All in all, I'm hoping it was just one bad dish/experience and I plan to visit again soon, ideally for happy hour.

    This place is phenomenal! I am an out of town guest, visiting a college friend who speaks really highly about this place. I usually am extra skeptical when somebody speaks too highly of a restaurant. This place lived up the hype. The restaurant was super accommodating to every request we had. To start the service was amazing-- quick, attentive and knowledgeable. They knew what I could and couldn't eat with my shrimp allergy. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would def recommend the sushi (mangos and plantains ). I will say the restaurant is very lively -- especially since Copa America was on tv. It was a little difficult to hear especially with my friends mom. Overall, I would gladly eat here again! Amazing job!!

    Our food was good. I tried cow heart the first time as part of an appetizer and was pleasantly surprised that the texture and flavor were good. I also had a steak (bistec) and it was also good. Service was friendly. It is a bit loud in the restaurant, making it a little hard to talk but it was still an enjoyable experience. I did go on a Thursday and they advised it was a special price for ladies during happy hour however they changed us for the regular happy hour price instead, still a decent deal but I do wish they honored the advertised special.

After over 15 years since this experience I've…read morepatronized quite a few different places and ventured back to where the journey began to compare. Spoiler Alert: It's number 1. Though what I really like about the place changed. When I first went all they offered was Chicken, Cole slaw, and fries. In a world of many option I actually thought this sent a message that we are so good we only offer a limited choice that's you will enjoy. Tbf the fries can't compete w McD or Chikfila Waffle fries but they were good. The service counter is modernized and they are efficient and friendly. The layout if the restaurant is still basic like the limited menu they used to have. No frills no gimmicks just good food. Still the same vibe The chicken was still very good. Other places are fairly close but Apollo Rico is just a touch better. The charred seasoning is evident. What tipped the scales for me in comparison to other places I've been is the green sauce. It liked fresh. It wasnt like other places where that has the consistency of ketchup it looked bright green and freshly made vs other places where it seems as if it was poured out a container.

    So glad I finally got to try this place. I went around 5:30 on a weekday and there was maybe 2…read moreother people in line. So it was definitely the best time to go. We ordered a half chicken with yuca and beans as the sides. It was very quick, we got our food within seconds it felt like. The chicken was probably the most flavorful kind of Pollo a la Brasa that I have had. It wasn't too greasy either. Just very tasty. The beans were delicious!! I didn't think I would like them as much. The yuca was pretty good too. Nice and crispy. I do wish they had slightly more options for sides, maybe even an Arroz Chaufa. This is a no frills kinda place so don't expect anything too fancy. But it is clean! And that's what makes it more authentic and fun in my opinion! Will definitely go back if I'm in the area.

Staff is very nice once you get their attention but we've had multiple trips of sitting for over 30 minutes with servers passing by and us attempting to make eye contact or flag a server down to get an order taken. The second to last time during a week day around 6 we went and it took about 30 minutes for us to even be able to put an order in after the server brought us waters then he dropped the food off without utensils or sauces. This past time on a Friday early evening we waited at an outdoor table for about 30-40 minutes and the server would look at us, help the table he was already working with next to us and disappear.

We should mention that the staff to include kitchen and servers always do look incredibly busy so it's not that anyone is just standing there but potentially more servers/ runners need to be hired.
