Amazing food!! We…read morewent about an hour before closing and surprisingly, there were a lot of other people in line already as well! We didn't know what to expect going in. The line was long but they were very open about why it was taking a while (they wanted to ensure they only took orders they could fulfill and check their food inventory), once we ordered it was very fast! The food was delicious and so well made! The half chicken was what we got and it's alot of food so be ready to eat! The rice, plantains, and yuca are so yummy, highly recommend any of those sides. The sauces are all delicious as well, you can't go wrong. Such a great place to get quality dinner and the seating it plenty! 5/5

El Pollo Rico was my first Peruvian chicken spot. 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.

Nice location, parking could be crazy, we lucked out with spot right down the street. We met some…read morevisiting friends and decided to dine outside (beautiful afternoon). All the Staff was super and checked on us constantly, never felt abandoned outside (we were only ones). We went with Family meal and a side order of Pupusas (2 for $10). Your choice of spinach/cheese, beef or chicken. We stuck with water to drink. The chicken was delicious, we have our favorite in Alexandria, but this chicken was very good. The sides were good, fries, yucca and rice. The sauces complemented everything (green & white). We asked for ketchup, they did provide some packets (perfer an actuall ketchup bottle when dining in). The Papusas were not a big hit with the table. Overall, a good option if in the area. Especially for the price which was way better than expected for area.

The calamari stood out, probably the best thing we ordered. The Peruvian chicken was solid, and the…read morealfajores were a highlight. But the shrimp saltado was forgettable, and the chicha morada was a letdown -- mostly ice, barely any flavor. It tasted like purple-tinted water, not the real thing. I bought two empanadas to bring home to my mother and asked specifically for two chicken. The employee at the register was friendly, but kept nudging me toward one beef, one chicken. I said no. I explained my mother doesn't eat beef. She bit into one at home and stopped. It was beef. There was no way to know from the outside. I understand that mistakes can happen, but it was disappointing to receive the wrong empanada after I had specifically explained that my mother does not eat beef. What made the situation even more concerning was that the beef did not seem fresh. In addition, while the empanada looked properly baked and golden on the outside, the dough inside was still undercooked. Unfortunately, this experience changed my overall impression of the restaurant.

Or at least during the game there wasn't. Had the empanadas. They were good, but $11 for the size I thought was a little steep. I would get them again, but they're a little on the small side.

I visited Inca Social today and overall had a very good experience…read more The atmosphere was excellent--warm, lively, and perfect for enjoying Peruvian food with family and friends. The Ceviche Carretillero was fresh and flavorful, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. That was the main reason I decided to give 4 stars instead of 5. The fried calamari was excellent--crispy, tender, and cooked perfectly. The picarones were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The alfajor, beautifully shaped like the map of Peru, was the perfect ending to the meal and absolutely delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the food, desserts, and atmosphere, and I would definitely return. With a little less salt in the Ceviche Carretillero, this could have easily been a 5-star experience.

We…read moreordered the fried fish chicharrón, which was perfectly done--crispy on the outside, moist inside, clearly fresh fish, and not greasy at all. The seafood rice was excellent: well-balanced seasoning, properly cooked seafood, and rice with the ideal texture, showing solid technique and attention to detail. The chicha morada tasted natural and well-spiced, not overly sweet, exactly how it should be. For dessert, the flan stood out for its smooth texture and controlled sweetness, far from anything industrial. Attentive service and a comfortable atmosphere complete the experience. This is a restaurant that understands Peruvian cuisine and executes it correctly. Highly recommended.

Ordered the Empanada tasting which is one steak, chicken and sausage. A few minutes later the u inspired server brings 2 of the same flavor when there should have been 3 different flavors. The manager corrected the issue and we started tasting and sampling and quickly realized that there wasn't much flavor to any of them and the sauce tasted like it had sat open in the refrigerator for weeks. One bite of each was enough to stop eating them! Then along came dinner..... Lomo Saltado and it was more disappointing than the appetizers! The steak chunks were not seasoned, the dish was very dry and the fries and vegetables were not seasoned. This meal doesn't even rate 1 star and they should be ashamed of their service and products!!
