My wife and I love this place. While we are not regulars by restaurant standards, this has been a…read morego-to. When we want good quality food, close to home, we often end up here. I almost always get the pesto noodles: my favorite is with chicken, but with steak, or with a fried potato is good, too. Turns out we like the flavor of Incas. Service is always good, the place is usually 1/2 to 2/3 full. We like the decor, especially the gazebo in the parking lot as we pull up. Our first visit was 4 years ago, and I'd say we come back 4 times a year or so. Always a pleasure.

As you can tell from the pictures, this place is more about the experience than the food. No idea…read morewho thought of the decorations, but it's quite eclectic. School buses, picnic tables, barrels, old movies playing on projectors, arcade games, all in really bright colors... something else. You order your food at the counter, get a table number stand, and then find a seat; they bring your food to you later. No refills except for tea and water; the water is available at spigots attached to the support columns with barrels underneath. Yeah, really. Food was good. Not fantastic, but good. There is a playground area outside for kids; truth be told, I'm not sure if it's a legit playground or yet another aspect of the decorations, but it's there. Seats aren't very comfortable. It's either picnic tables or fairly flimsy chairs like you'd have at an outdoor program. I was pretty uncomfortable after a few minutes, but I like to sit back and lounge in a chair. If you don't mind leaning forward your whole meal, you'll be fine. A fun experience: emphasis on experience.

Maybe I went to this restaurant with too much high expectations…read more The atmosphere is nice for a bar night, for a sport bar or even a dance club.... not too much as a regular restaurant, it's too dark and it has neon lights. The service was good in general, the waitress was attentive and came to my table often asking if I needed something. Now... the most important, the food... I am very disappointed. The causa acevichada I think it had good ingredients, the fish was good too but there was no flavor; It tasted bland with not enough lime juice or salt. In my second plate, almost the same... good ingredients for the Lomo Saltado but I don't think the made it in a wok, the meat tasted just cooked in a simple pan without that "flame taste", forget about the Tacu Tacu... they don't use the right type of beans and no way it was done correctly as you can see in my photo. I don't think I'll be coming back because of the quality of the plates but I understand that the "fun night" bar atmosphere and activities are their hook for other people to come..

Lucky for us, this place is open late, and it's so much better than eating some random quick eats…read more This is a Peruvian restaurant, and it has an extensive menu with a lot of delicious options, but their prices are a bit higher than other peruvian spots. We ordered the causa sampler, which was OK though relatively small. The other dishes were also ok. I got the Tacu Tacu, which first couple of bites were very good, but then started to feel too salty. I'm not dismissing the food altogether, but it could be slightly better. Service was somewhat all right, they were polite, but it took a bit for a hostess to welcome us, and our waitress was somewhat absent but would be seen sitting at another clients table just chatting. The restaurant is large and spacious with what seems to be a little casino in the back. When I went, they had karaoke night, but prior to that, they had TV and music all over. Though I appreciate the attempts of having a lively environment, it was so loud you could barely hear the other people you were with.

Lomo saltado is a Peruvian beef stir fry dish. Fun fact, the dish was created by Chinese Peruvians…read more I guess that makes sense why it is stir fried. The beef is cooked with onions, tomatoes, and fries. The dish is served with rice. Beef, potatoes, and rice is the foundation of a great dish. I had the chance to try lomo saltado for the first time many years ago, and I instantly fell in love. Rico Sabor Peruano is not the top result when searched, but a professional Yelper like myself could tell that it was probably the best choice. Once I walked into the restaurant, I knew I made the right choice. Rico Sabor Peruano evokes East LA vibes. The interior was not great, and the employee didn't speak English. I knew I was about to have one of the greatest meals of my life. After stumbling through the order with my early intermediate Spanish (Duolingo-level Spanish with a thick Gringo accent), I excitedly waited for my meal. The food was cooked in a reasonable amount of time, and the employee even proactively brought a bottle of hot sauce. How did she know? I'm happy to report that Rico Sabor Peruano perfectly lived up to my very high expectations. I'll definitely return for the lomo saltado. I may also try some of the great value dishes that other diners mentioned. The lomo saltado was worth every dime, but it still cost ~$20.

Why in the world is Mambo's Café so far away? I need this restaurant to be right across the street…read morefrom my house so I could go every day. Let's talk about it. LOL Mambo's Cafe is located in Buford, Ga which is Northeast of Atlanta. When we entered the restaurant after our 5k, we were seated immediately and I will say Im glad we showed up when we did, because when we left people were everywhere waiting to be seated. So, Our waitress was amazing, she didnt miss a beat all the questions we had, she answered! We started off a complementary garlic bread with a Verde sauce. It was green with a pinch of spicy, but it was very good. Next, we ordered the beef empanadas and they cut them up for us so that everybody could sample them. They were so good. I had to get an order to go to take them home to my husband. For my drink, I ordered a pink lemonade. It was almost like I needed some sugar and I knew that would hit the eight spot even though it was carbonated it still was good. For the main train I went with ANGUS CHURRASCO STEAK!! Medium well of course! Wowwwwww!! This steak was top-tier. I enjoyed every bit of it, and what I could eat. Of course, I had to take the rest of them. It came with an option of beans I went with black beans plantains in a Spanish rice, which was amazing. The chimichurri sauce that came on the steak was was flavorful yeah, I even asked for some to take home and verde sauce as well. Lol The steak was tender outside skirt steak grilled and topped with our famous chimichurri sauce (garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil). $28 My entire bill with $58 including the takeout empanadas I will most definitely be going back. I enjoyed every minute of this restaurant.
