Packed with tasty shredded chicken. Petite dining area is comfortable, clean, festive. About 12 tables. We arrived at 11am, close to opening. By the time we left (12:30pm) every table was taken. One attentive waitress adequately took care of all guests with a smile. Parking is limited. Enter alley to parking lot thru Taco Bell parking lot. La Chiva shares 8 slots with a couple other businesses. No entrance to restaurant from parking lot. You have to walk thru the alley to Beach Street entrance. The food is worth the inconvenience.

His service was attentive, friendly, and truly made my birthday celebration feel special. The ambiance is incredible, it really gives you a little taste of Cuba with a Miami vibe. The chicken empanadas are an absolute must, and the ropa vieja was packed with authentic flavor. Every bite was delicious. If you're looking for amazing food, great drinks, and outstanding service, this is the place. Chris went above and beyond to make my birthday one to remember, and because of him, we'll definitely be back. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

The bomb rice empanadas were good but a little too greasy for my hubby and I. But, I took home the…read moreleftovers and the next day put them in my air fryer and then on a paper towel to pat out some of the oil and they were much better tasting and super crispy on the outside. The bomb rice inside was very flavorful. Hubby tried their Tropical Passion Fruit juice they had and it was ok he said. He was not a fan of that one. We both loved the arepas and even went back and purchased more. Also, tried the lime wafer cookie which was flavorful crunchy and too sweet. Cashier was friendly and the area was clean. However, they do take a long time to make the arepas. Was told about 10 minutes and it took much longer than that. Be prepared to wait and they do use a text message system to notify you when your order is ready. We will definitely be back for more arepas and to try some of the other things they offer.

It fit exactly what I was looking for -- a quick bite that wasn't too heavy, but still satisfying. The service was nice and friendly, and the food came out relatively fast. The arepa was the perfect cheese to dough ratio, and it had a nice crispy outside. The eggs were nice and fluffy too. I really enjoyed what I had here, and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

The restaurant has plenty of seating and a good view of the outside shopping centers. It has a nice vibe especially if you're doing a dinner and they have a nice cultural influence. Service was amazing, the host was checking in often and the food came out in good time. The food overall was decent. Honestly I've had Peruvian food with more flavor profiles and payed a little less, the chicken was a little dry and did not have that Peruvian, you usually get some good spices and citrus with Peruvian food and it felt closer to fajitas with French fries. The yuca fries were actually done really well but came with no sauce or dip and the empanadas were good but fell apart t very quickly. The filling was good and there was a whole green olive inside that had more flavor than the meats. I would have chopped up the green olive, and integrated it more. Lastly the fried rice was pretty good to be honest ... I think that was the best thing I had while there but it did need some of that spicy kick. Overall I would return to Inka but it will not be my first choice for Peruvian food.
