My first time here on a Thursday evening with my girlfriends. It was busy at 6:30pm and the staff seemed overwhelmed. We sat at the end of the bar and were basically ignored by the 2 servers behind the bar. When he finally came over to take our orders after 20 minutes our food took forever to arrive. Ama saved the night after we complained to her. She went over and above to apologize and took our drink and food orders. She invited us to come back again by giving us an appetizer coupon. She was professional and friendly. I hope the company treats her as well as she treats her guests. read more

Great customer service very attentive, quality food with fresh ingredients, loved the decorations with the cherry blossom trees

The food was great, service good but it was so loud I could barely hear who I was with.

This place is definitely known for their happy hour more than their food. The $2 margaritas on Thursdays are only available for ladies btw and they are nothing special aside from the price. They do come in 3 flavors. I was not impressed with the food and it was deceptively expensive. Most of the dishes on the menu under $20 are actually appetizers. Which means you'd have to order at least two $15-$18 items to make a meal. That wasn't made clear the way their menu is written. Just wanted to give you a heads up before you decide to dine here. If you do want to try the food, go for lunch because the menu is exactly the same, just discounted by 20%. read more

Lomo a la huancaina is delicious and our go-to dish! With some sushi and ceviche for apps, it's very hard to go wrong. Service has always been excellent as well. Highly recommend reservations or coming at off-hours since it gets very packed. read more

There's a lot going on here from lights to their extensive menu. Once you settle in though the food is delicious! They even have happy hour every day. Tostones with Pulled Pork - Two large tostones with a saucy drizzle. The tostones is crispy and delicious. Lomo a la Huancaina - Think steak and pasta! So creamy and delicious. The lomo was cooked to perfection and the huancaina sauce was creamy. The waiter recommended the linguine, so I'm not sure how the risotto is. read more

As a vegetarian, I cannot recommend the food here to another vegetarian unfortunately. I found the vegetable ceviche inedible (I let my friends eat it) and asked for sides of beans and rice to fill my hunger. The vegetarian option for the sushi is as basic as you can get and not worth the price to still feel very hungry after. The tallarin verde was pretty good but honestly nothing special. The happy hour has only fries as a vegetarian food option. The mixed drinks are okay and for a good price. The beer selection is very minimal. Service is okay - I've had okay experiences and I've had annoying experiences with the wait staff. I do come here often simply because my friends do enjoy the food and space for celebratory dinners. It is an open space that can accommodate large groups. You are able to have conversations and hear each other clearly which is great. I'll stick to the tallarin verde but simply because it's the only decent choice. I'd recommend Inca to be more creative about choices for vegetarians. read more

I've come to the Inca social in Arlington always had a good experience. I came in today order what I've always ordered tiradito limeña it's always been served with white fish. When it came out today it was served with salmon I told my server that my order was incorrect, which he followed by saying that they always serve it like that. I explain that it would've been nice for them to let you know which is the day that they are going to be cooking with. He went and spoke to his manager then his manager came over to the table was extremely rude and said that moving forward, I should ask them with which fish they're cooking. read more

Inca Social rocks! Their food is delicious. I met one of owners just now and he was super generous and hospitable to my work team. I grabbed coffee there the other day and loved the vibe inside. Staff is always super nice. Thanks Inca S!! read more

I was so surprised by this chain! It was my first time having Peruvian food and I was wowed by this lomo saltado dish. The balance of fries, rice and meat was great. We ordered the ceviche platter which was so yum. There's no other place in the area I'd go to for ceviche. read more

Excellent service and delicious food! Had walked by this place several times and very happy I gave it a try. We had a Friday evening reservation and it was packed (for good reason!). The main downside, which prevented me from giving five stars, is that it was incredibly loud. Something about the acoustics made it sound a lot more crammed than it was, it was difficult to hear the waitress explaining the menu even as she leaned in and we had to raise our voices to have conversation at a small square table. That aside, everything was excellent. The piscos are delicious (can vouch for the classic pisco sour and the passion) and they come with a cute llama design. The ceviche mixto was delicious, though no major difference in taste between the three varities (concur with a previous review). It is made fresh, as proven by their ability to hold the cilantro at the request of someone in our party who doesn't care for it. The causas were also delicious, we went with fried and chose the sampler. Llomo saltado steak left something to be desired. The meat wasn't as tender as I've had elsewhere. The arroz con marisco was amazing, and huge portion. Tres leches cake was the perfect way to top it off - not too sweet, perfect size for sharing between three of us after so much food. read more

Went for happy hour on Thursday! Love the $2 Margarita special! All of the food was actually very tasty and the sauces they use are delicious. Only downside is sometimes the place is absolutely packed and the food service takes an exceptionally long time then. The restaurant itself has great decor and themed for spring/cherry blossoms right now. The outdoor seating is great, but the restaurant overall indoors can get pretty loud. read more

The food was disappointing. Lomp soltado was overcooked, fish dish was very bland. The service was mediocre, likely due to our large party and mandatory tip. The music was incredibly loud. I will not return. You are better off going to a whole in the wall restaurant as there are several in VA that are much more flavorful. read more

Great ambiance. Food needs a little bit more flavor but it's a 7.5/10 Their arroz aeropuerto in Vienna is a 1000x better than the one in Arlington m. I'm not sure why the recipe changes drastically between the both but I prefer the Vienna location. read more

went here for my birthday and they were very welcoming and food was great, was able to take some cute pictures as well

What a delicious meal we had at this beautifully decorated, peaceful restaurant! We came for brunch on a Saturday around 1pm and were seated right away. Their brunch menu is AWESOME - it was difficult to choose because it all sounded so good. I had the Lima omelette (it was the perfect size and full of delicious mushrooms and yummy cheese) and my friend ordered the veggie causas (fried) which were really tasty and beautiful. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Thanks, Inca Social! read more

Went here for lunch, the restaurant decor is beautiful. When you walk in you definitely feel the upcale vibe. The bar offer happy hour, hard liquor and craft beers. The tables are space enough that your able to enjoy with good company. I order the empanadas with chicken and beef. Other friend order the ceviche, lomo saltado the food was good had to taste. The food came to our table very fast. I also order passion fruit juice it was super sour which am not just to. The price for the food is on the high end, so be aware the a meal will cost you more that $20.00. The restaurant has a beautiful pink decor which is great to take pictures. The swing with the beautiful background is my favorite. read more

Didn't make a reservation but definitely should've. They sat us at the sushi bar and said they'd move us to a table as soon as there was one - never was moved sadly. Started off with drinks - I got the Tumi Punch and my friend got the Inca Smash. I'm very picky with drinks but I actually loved mine, it was more sweet than sour and went down very easily. My friend also enjoyed her drink a lot as well. For entrees, I got the Bistec a la pobre and my friend got the Tallarin Verde with chicken. The steak came out looking more like a pork chop so I was skeptical, but tasted really good, I actually liked the flavor more than typical American steaks! Wasn't a fan of the fries, but the plantains were good and I thought the onions, rice, and egg were the perfect addition for the steak. My friend's pasta looked so appetizing, I would've ordered both for myself if I could. Definitely want to return and hopefully with a reservation next time. read more

Came here for happy hour. I personally didn't drink, but a lot of people in my party did. The margaritas were $2 which is an excellent price!! We ordered food... which was decent. The food I ordered was served cold (it's meant to be); I got the Tiradito Limeña, which is the fish of the day with sauce- it's not a lot of food so you will need to order something with it. I had to order more so I ordered the veggie causa- which was average tasting (didn't finish it... even though I was hungry). If you're looking for gluten free options, there are a few (not many). They definitely have some solid vegetarian dishes. The restaurant itself has a great ambience and it's really well decorated... but I'd bring a sweater because it gets really cold inside. Our waiter was great and checked everyone out individually which we really appreciated. read more

This place is insane. It looks like a Miami club in the middle of Arlington. There is sushi, ceviche, all kinds of Latin fusion fares and a ton of drink options. The service is quick and friendly. We got empanadas, a sushi roll and lomo saltado. The aji is yellow/orange and has a good kick to it. I'd love to try the breakfast options here as they looked ppppppretty good. Prices are reasonable, starting around $14 a plate. read more

We went there to watch the USA vs Netherlands World Cup match and although the result was disappointing, the food and environment was not. We ordered off the brunch menu and got the French toast and the chicken and waffles. The French toast was a little small, but tasty. The chicken and waffles was a great portion and great quality. We will definitely be back to try some of the tasty sounding Peruvian food read more

I love this place, the ambiance is perfect. They really did a great job turning this place into a top class Peruvian restaurant. It's bigger than the one in Vienna so I can't wait to come here over the weekend when it gets crazy busy. I had the ceviche sampler along with the lomo a la huancaina (risotto) - which was super delicious. I sat at the bar with my favorite bartender Bruno - I follow him wherever he bartends. His drinks are delicious!! Oh and they have two swings inside!!! Great for taking pictures with family and friends. read more

I love Peruvian food and don't get it much living in the south. This place was one of several in the area but I followed the reviews and I'm glad we did. I always go for the Ají de gallina and this was a good faithful version full of flavor especially with the house hot sauce added. The meat skewers were great. Very tender and flavorful. The lamb dish was really great! Awesome plate of food. Those beans . Good drinks as well! Glad we tried it. Well done Yelpers! read more

First time here! Sushi and food was great. Service was good just slow. Our reservations was for 1:30 and we started with mimosas. We got one drink around 1:45pm and didn't get the second until 2:30pm. They also bring the mimosas by the glass and server didn't pay attention to when our glasses were empty. She was literally our server, the bartender, table busser and more. Luckily we told the manager about the slow service and we received our drinks fast. First glass was $15 and remainder was .25 cents. All in all good brunch but lacks real Mexican breakfast food or breakfast food in general. read more

Service: our waitress was absolutely amazing! It's a shame we didn't get to catch her name since it was a bit loud in there. We went during there Thursday happy hour and she was very attentive - as much as possible when there's such a rush! She came back constantly to check if we needed more drinks or anything else. Food came out extremely quickly! Food: Nazca Burger: 4.5/5 the burger is one of their veggie options and it was great! There's lot of side option like sweet potato fries, regular fries, salad and more! Their patty seems to be a bought patty, not in house, it taste almost like Morning Star Farms. It definitely needs another type of sauce by default but if you add the yellow sauce they give at the table it definitely is elevated. Margaritas: amazing happy hour on Thursdays! Ladies get $2 margs during their 5-7 HH and until 9 pm they're $5. The mix they use is a bit sweet but with the limed they give you it's a lot better! Definitely would come back again for both the food and drinks! read more

Came here for dinner. I ordered a plate of saltados which comes as grilled meat, roasted tomatoes with a bed of white rice and side of potatoes. The meal was delicious. I also had a side of plantains which is my favorite dish and they did not disappoint. For drinks, I ordered the Passion fruit Maracuya sour. This is a pisco sour drink which is a staple Peruvian drink. From presentation to taste, I was impressed. Pleasantly sweet, the cocktail had a nice blend of ingredients. Refreshing. Fruity. Sippable. Well done. The decor was beautiful with Maya-inspired theme. The ambience is a mix of elevated yet chill atmosphere. Service was superb. Overall, great food, drinks and service. Would definitely recommend! read more

These people treat their customers horribly.... There was a miscommunication about my order and instead of taking the dish and making it right they said I will still have to pay for this dish and they'll make me the right one and I'll pay for both.... I couldn't even believe my ears. Definitely will not be coming back here based on principle. And I use to love this place. SMH I guess I'll have find a new Peruvian spot. read more

Ambiance - cute restaurant with an outdoor patio. If you come later into the evening, the ambiance does turn more club-like. If you're sitting inside, it'll be a little louder. I do love that the windows open, so you're able to get some fresh air. Food - Have not been disappointed! My favorites - * I always get the Arroz con Mariscos, which is like an Incan seafood paella. The broth used is delicious, and the entire dish is packed with flavor. Huge portion - you could probably split this between two people for dinner and call it a day. * Causa - they're like super super soft hush puppies, but with mashed potatoes and some other ingredients I'm unfamiliar with (aji amarillo?). They're topped with things like veggies, meat, or seafood. Generous portion - these could be your entire meal in its own if you're just mildly hungry. Drinks - Decent selection of beer and seltzers. Mixed drinks are yummy. read more
