    Had lunch today had the dinner portion which is $10 more than lunch special but so much worth it. Side of yucca and plantains. We love Peruvian cuisine and Micas was no different food was delicious, large servings and excellent service. Clean with nice decor Usually we go to the food court next door. Highly recommended

    Discovered this place on accident but I am so happy i did. Peruvian spots are pretty rare in of their own, but a good one is even more rare. The food here us spot in and the portions can definitely feed two per plate. The service was fast, straight forward, and they are respectful. And the overall vibes of the restaurant is fantastic as its clean, relaxing, and just enjoyable. Their lomo saltado is fantastic and their chica morada absolutely hits. This is a must try in the area and worth eating fresh at the restaurant.

    Peruvian restaurant near the Haven City Market food hall. It looks small from the outside but is fairly spacious inside with tables that can accommodate both small and large parties. The restaurant itself is located toward the back of the property away from the food court. I ordered Pollo Saltado, Trio de Empanadas as an appetizer, and Chicha Morada to drink. A complimentary warm dinner roll and butter comes with the meal as well as a small container of aji verde. The empanadas consisted of one each of beef, chicken, and cheese. There was a light sprinkling of powdered sugar which I found strange as a topping for a savory appetizer. However, the empanadas came very hot from the fryer, had flaky crusts, and tasted satisfactory. Chicha Morada was refreshing and can be ordered by the pitcher as well as by the glass. The Pollo Saltado tasted good with a nice, soy sauce flavor. It was not too salty. The dish had the perfect ratio of fries and vegetables to protein. Unfortunately, the chicken breast meat it was made with was slightly dry. I would have much preferred dark meat chicken in the preparation. The aji verde sauce did not have much of a heat level but helped to overcome some of the dryness of the chicken. I may or may not return for a future visit as there are so many restaurants in close vicinity. I will mention that service was good and parking is plentiful.

    Tallarín verde

    We had lunch here and let me see. The food is absolutely outstanding. We ordered tallarín verde with the breaded chicken and the leche de tigre and both dishes exceededour expectations. The tallarín had so much flavor and went paired with the light green salsa. They give you to add on top. It pushed it over the edge of great flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The leche de tigre was so delicious and milky. The corn nuts that we added into the ceviche made it the perfect combination of cold and crunchy. I'm taking off one star because our waitress wasn't as attentive as she could've been in at times we felt like the service wasn't great. However, the food was delicious. My only suggestion is that the the waiters and waitresses check in on the customers a little bit more during the meal. Overall, it's a clean place with amazing food.

    I love Peruvian food so when my coworkers brought me here I was way excited! Everything is very authentic and they have a wide variety of menu selection to choose from. Their iced tea is amazing and it is fresh brewed. The restaurant itself seem small from the outside, but it's pretty big on the inside with lots of tables and seats, great for large parties or if you're eating by yourself. The staff is friendly, but I noticed that they can be quite slow. I will still come back because the dishes here are just too good. I ordered Lomo saltado, a popular Peruvian stir-fry, was savory with will balanced sauce and the beef was tender, fries a bit soggy from the sauce, but still we're all very delicious one of my favorite Peruvian dishes that I will continue to order. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Parking is huge so no anxiety there.

    We came out here since it was around the corner where we were at and wanted to celebrate the Peruvian way. We got anticuchos, ceviche de pescado, lomo saltados, chicha morada, arroz con pollito y papa la huanciana, jalea de mixto, y lucuma. Everything was delicious. The ceviche was okay. It was the first time I tried mahi mahi as the protein for the ceviche. The leche of the Tigre was alittle too sour. I enjoyed the diverse options on the menu. It def satisfied those cravings and presentation of the food was pretty. For my Arroz con Pollito y papa la hucaina, it was pretty good-the boiled egg and Olive was missing from the dish. The anticuchos were so good as an appetizer. We def wanted to order more of that dish. Service was great! They were very attentive and were able to provide recommendations. Also, the environment was nice and clean. It's next to the food hall and lots of parking available. As a Peruvian, def enjoyed the flavors and how it tasted close to home. Def recommend!

    Our first time here, the food, service, and ambience were so impressive that we just know we'll be back. Our party of 4 chose to sit outside since we could avoid a wait. We really enjoyed the quiet, roomy backyard vibe. Sometimes when seated outside in restaurants, service can be lacking due to distance. But not here! Our waiter was so on it! Personable, checked on us regularly, and brought all the extras. Our drinks were delicious! Really unique, refreshing flavors. The squishiest rolls were brought to the table: mmm! The dipping sauce was surprisingly spicy, but so flavorful! Each of us really enjoyed our orders. The flavors were fresh, popping with flavor. Our dishes were plentiful and we all left with happy, full bellies. Overall, a great experience. We'll be back!

    Tallarin Saltado de Carne dinner size

    This is our family's go-to Peruvian spot. We are Peruvian American and love find the best of the best when it comes to Peruvian cuisine. Mica's bets out most in the IE. The portions are decent size, price is fair but the flavor - this is what makes it special. It's hard to replicate the authentic Peruvian flavors. It's also common for most restaurants to replace produce, spices and herbs with more common American/ Mexican options (i.e. ajis, aji verdes). Service is usually pretty good; however, it can get busy during dinner and/or weekend rush. We appreciate that the servers have been there for a while and usually recognize us since we are long time supporters. Ambiance is fine- nothing fancy. It's casual dining and it isn't the biggest restaurant. Some of our favorite dishes - Lomo Saltado de Carne, Tallarin Saltado de Carne, Papa La Huancaina, the ceviche is to die for. The flavor is unmatched. For the Latinos and seafood lovers out there - you must try the ceviche. It will blow your socks off and keep you coming back.

    Good but like I said stingy with sauce

    I don't believe so. Doesn't seem to be set up for that but I could be wrong. I'd say it's worth the trip for the food even if they don't.

I had the Tallarin Saltado de Mariscos and the dish was fabulous. The mariscos included abundant shrimp, calamari rounds, and mussels, along with tomatoes, onions, red bell pepper, and green onions, of course mixed with tender pasta. This dish can readily serve two. My guest had the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, which was similar to the de Marisco dish, only with asada rather than seafood. It was a huge serving, with over half coming home for later. The table included the green peruvian ahi sauce and some warm bread rolls. The sauce was nice and spicy and the rolls were slightly toasted and served hot. The bread helped mop up the outstanding sauce on the mariscos dish. Of course, Inca Cola was available and a great accompaniment to Tallarin Saltado. Prices are flat out amazing and late lunch service on a Sunday was spot on. The food and table service warrant 5 stars, but the business practice of charging a 4% fee to use the credit card is downright shameful. If this fee was disclosed, it was clearly not obvious. Inca needs to modernize and build their credit card use costs into their overhead cost. What's next, a table cleaning fee, a salt and pepper fee, a dishwashing fee?

The meal also came with a dinner roll, which was nice, though a bit burnt, it was fine with butter. The service was good, and the Chaufa was decent, peppery and not as flavorful. Also, they didn't provide extra sauce when we took the leftovers home, which was a bit disappointing. And they charge $1 for credit card payments, I wish there had been a sign indicating this somewhere on the menu or near the register.

But it was more than the food; it was the service that made it so memorable. Our family had just arrived in Claremont for the first time; didn't know the area and were starving. Saw Inka Trails on Yelp and thought it looked good but it was about to close in 30 mins so we called to check if we could still make it. The lady who answered the phone was warm and welcoming, telling us to come on by. What followed was some of the most delicious food I've had, on par with Michelin-starred restaurants I have had the pleasured to dine at in Bangkok, San Sebastian, Paris...It was home cooking with the best ingredients - you can taste the freshness of the fish and vegetables and the fragrance of the herbs. Highly recommend the fish rice soup, the fried fish and fish stew in tomato broth. It was serious one of the best meals we have had. So the food was 5 stars, but what made me write this review was the owner Patty. She was warm and gracious. Asked us what brought us to Claremont and when we told her we were there to tour colleges, she was kind to share her insights on the school, experiences with the students, told us about safety and transits in the area. Remember this was all after the restaurant was already scheduled to be closed for the evening. We were never rushed and Patty was sincere and kind. As a frequent traveler and woman in business, I appreciate that. The experience was a highlight of our college visits and I hope to return to Inka Trails for another spectacular meal soon in the near future.

The Empanada was filled with seasoned beef, olives, and hard boiled eggs. The filling was flavorful although the crust was more tender than crisp. It could have used some additional time to attain a decent outer crust. Pollo Saltado consisted of a large portion of tender, boneless chicken, stir fried with French fries and onion and served with steamed rice. It was delicious accompanied by the rice but was very salty from the soy sauce by itself. (This is an extremely common occurrence with this particular dish due to the varying salinity level of different soy sauce brands.) Since the saltado had a good overall flavor, if I were to order this again, I would recommend requesting that the food be made with a little less soy sauce. A dinner roll and butter blend was also served with this meal. The Chicha Morada I ordered as a beverage was delightfully delicious and refreshing from the mix of various fruit juices. The waitstaff were polite and efficient. There were no problems for me as for the service. The restaurant is freeway close to the 10 and there are plenty of parking spaces in the lot. Most of their business seems to be take out but dining in is also a good option. The video stereo system, providing the background music, played some nice tracks which made for an enjoyable experience. I would definitely entertain a return visit soon.
