Delicious lomo saltados and decent sized portions! This wasn't my first time coming here and definitely won't be my last. I was recommended this restaurant by a relative and they brought us here for dinner on Sunday! They have their own parking lot but there's very limited spaces if it does get busy. Walking in, we were instantly greeted and asked how many were in our party. We were instantly seated but there were quite a few occupied big tables around us. I couldn't catch our waitress's name but she was so attentive and nice to us! She would come ask if we needed refills, napkins, extra utensils, or extra bread and butter. After you order, you get complimentary bread and butter! They also have this green spicy sauce that you can dip your bread in. Between the 8 of us, we ordered 1 soup, 1 appetizer, and 4 main dishes! Everything came out so fast and was so tasty! You can even see the chefs preparing the food through the transparent glass. Food: Lomo Saltado (9/10): I absolutely loved this dish! The only thing I will say is that it was on a little salty for me but that's not something a little water couldn't help with. The beef was cooked so nicely, it was tender and the portioned nicely so it could be chewed with each bite. The grilled onions were for sure my favorite part. The onions soaked in all the sauce but were still crunchy which adds a nice texture to the soggy french fries. The french fries also soaked in all the sauce! There's also a side of rice to help make you more full! Tallarines Salteo de Carne (9/10): This dish was identical to the lomo saltado but instead of french fries, it was noodles! I equally loved this dish since they used the same sauce but with noodles instead! I had no complaints except it was on the saltier side but didn't mind it at all. Everything's the same as my lomo saltado review, perfectly cooked meat and onions! Jalea de Mariscos (9/10): This was our appetizer! It comes with a few fried items (fish fillet, shrimp, and squid). I think there are also Yukon potatoes but I could be mistaking it for another form of potato. The squids are fried in bite sized and they're so easy to eat! It also comes with an onion salsa that's so delicious! The salsa is sour so definitely be careful when dunking your food in there. I believe that this one comes in a half or full size! read more

Well i was kind of disappointed, i ordered the Chicharron de Pollo and it was maybe 2 pieces of chicken for 15$. Cut up into small piece, it was good tasting just the portion was WEEK at best, a few full pieces of chicken was what i expected from the photos on the site. I also ordered Arroz Chaufa de Pollo, it was good, its hard to mess up fried rice. In addition i ordered Lomo Saltado, it was ok, not as flavorful as i remember it being. I been eating here for over a decade. It changed names a while back if i remember correctly Overall i was disappointed for $60 for the 3 plates. I checked online for the amount it would be $59.27 for the 3 plates, when i tried to call in the order i was quoted 64, i asked why the difference as it should have been cheeper as i had an addition Convenience Fee: $2.49. So i ordered it online. I wanted to pay cash but ened up getting cash back from the CC purchase. The waitress who gave me my order did it with a big smile, That was the best part of the meal. read more

I've been wanting to try Sol Inka for a while and it did not disappoint! I only had enough appetite for ceviche this time during my lunch break, which was very filling by the way, and it was amazing! Tangy and flavorful. I also enjoyed both the passion fruit and purple corn drinks. Janet was a great attentive server. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Can't wait to try more items off the menu. read more

I have been coming here for years. The Lomo Saltado is solid. Today, Sunday, we were one of the first customers here at 11:00 am and it started filling up by the time we were finished. I also ordered the fried rice which was not as flavorful as the Lomo, but it will be eaten later. The service was excellent, the food came out quick enough and they had two TVs on (a football playoff and college basketball). The LA Times had an article on the best Peruvian places and this made the list. read more

// Food: Lomo Saltado Lomo Saltado has to be in my top five favorite things to eat in the world. It is not a fancy dish, imagine steak and french fries with a savory sauce all tossed together with some tomatoes and onions. Sol Inka's makes the industry standard Lomo for me, I compare other Lomo Saltado's I have to theirs as it should be at least as good if not better. // Restaurant: Inside it is dark. Sometimes I feel like the restaurant itself is too big for the operation they run, but as long as the food is good I don't care too much. Our server was attentive and was quick with bring out the bread, our drinks, and the food. // Notes: It is about ~$20 a dish here, so not cheap, but it is good. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here, and we have no regrets. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming ambiance, and our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Saltado de Mariscos, and my boyfriend had the Saltado Especial. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Our beers were ice cold, which made the meal even better. This place is definitely worth trying! read more

Large restaurant with plenty of seating, they do have an area for live music. I got their Bistek al lo pobre and lomo saltado for my family, I went during a slow time so the wait time was not long. The lomo saltado was not salty and the beef was tender with plenty of fries and sliced red onions and tomatoes. The sauce was not salty as well. My brother did like the bistek and said it was tender and seasoned nicely. The staff is nice, the lady gave me an Alfajores for free. Parking lot is a good size. read more

Lomo Saltado is bomb. The flavor is awesome and the portion is big. that's what I go for so this place can get this 5 stars haha. I will say I like my yucca fries a little thicker, but these aren't bad. Everything I had here makes me feel cozy and it's definitely good food. I can't speak on their other dishes cause this one is my go to, but this place is definitely worth a try! read more

This place and their fare originates from Peru and I love it. Every time I entered the restaurant there's always enough seating or during off-hours with not too many patrons. Mainstay dishes include Pollo e pescados y el Lomo saltado. Beef was tender in the later and on par with Inka Express down on Imperial Highway near the Providence branch building. Would recommend lunch special and arriving a few minutes early before prime time to avoid longer wait times. Booth seating made the place cozy and feel like home. read more

I gave this place another chance and I ordered Lomo Saltado only request was poca cebolla (light onion). They even wrote it on the order which they taped to the bag . I guess the cook took offense to my request and added extra!! Ruined my meal. read more

You can tell she's great at her job and actually cares about the customers. Thank you again, Allison! read more

This was our first time coming here for dinner, and we had a wonderful experience thanks to our waitress, Janet. Her service was excellent, she even let us try passion fruit juice and a Peruvian corn drink or juice (I forgot the name), and both were so delicious! She was also very patient in explaining the menu to us and thoughtfully recommended dishes that could be made without meat since I am a vegetarian. Everything was absolutely delicious. Janet provided great service, and the food at this restaurant is truly amazing. We will definitely be back! Thank you to this restaurant for giving us such a wonderful first impression. read more

Ceviche was sour but good, crispy chicken was so crispy and good, beef noodles was good and fish saltado was good but has more potatoes than fish. Jessi (one man show) was nice, friendly and very hardworking. Service was good and will definitely come back. Nice restaurant with a bar and tap beers. read more

I crave this place at least once a week and it just never gets old!!! Every time, my tried and true dish is the saltado de pescado. This time around we did find that some of the fries were a bit cold, but since we got takeout they were easily reheated. There aren't many fantastic sit down restaurants in La Mirada, but I'd definitely put this place up there! read more

Got a to go order for beef tallarin verde and chicharrones calamares. The noodles, seafood and salsa were great. My family really enjoyed it but the beef was overcooked and dry.

Writing a review for a staff member by the name of Marlene who provided excellent service despite being overwhelmed and facing technical issues requires a recognition here in yelp and every other platform since seeing this type of great attitude and service is rarely seen nowadays, thanks for your excellent service and keep smiling, Marlene! read more

Pros: The food was really good. The restaurant is pretty big for a Peruvian restaurant. The Tallarin and fried rice was really good and flavorful. Pairs really well with the verde sauce that they give on the side. Also not pictured was the calamari. It was soooo good. The sauce that it came with was really tangy and a hint of spicy. Honestly the best thing I had. Cons: full disclosure that we did come with a large group of 12. We came around 11:40ish. Our food took about 25 minutes for the first dish to come out after ordering and then the rest of the food trickled in and finally receiving the rest of the food about 12:30. It wasn't busy that day and our server didn't come check on us often and update us on the food or anything. Kind of just brought them as they were ready it seemed like. Food was really delicious but I wish the server would just be a tad bit more communicative. read more

Why have I been sleeping on Peruvian my whole life, I just recently discovered how amazing it is. My girlfriend and I decided to try Sol Inka after I got out of work today and I am so happy we landed up there. The restaurant is a nice and welcoming place. We sat at the bar and our server poured us some beers from tap. Those beers were nice and cold so we were already happy with that. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. My girlfriend ordered the saltado de mariscos and I ordered the saltado especial. Let me tell you, they definitely pack out that plate with food and it was so delicious. I love the flavors. The green sauce is a little spicy but so good. I was hooked. I can definitely see us going back very soon. read more

Sol Inka - The saltado especial, it was amazing and a large Pacifico to drink. - Peruvian Near Me - La Mirada, California

I'm one of those people who exclusively eat Lomo Saltado at Peruvian restaurants. So naturally I was excited to try this place . Sadly it wasn't my favorite for the following reasons. The rice was bland ( usually I can taste a hint of garlic) The tomatoes, onions and fries were nicely cooked but the biggest disappointment was the quality of the steak . It was a cheap cut of meat . Chewy, Dry and too many fatty pieces and just not good . Maybe I'm biased because I've been fortunate to try cuts of meat that are amazingly tasty, juicy and quality! I know the difference and this wasn't it. Also the green sauce was way too HOT and spicy. And I can handle chile, I'm Latina . read more

Server Jesse was great, she's friendly and nice. Food was great, I liked the Fish Ceviche, very refreshing. Saltado de Pescado was a little oily for Me. It tasted good tho but it was covered with potatoes, and a very small fish portion. Place is clean. Bathroom is clean. Overall a good Peruvian resto. I wouldn't mind going back. read more

I wanted to add a review to say that I love their Chupa de camarones! It is the best Peruvian soup I ever had in my life! I highly recommend! With that said the main reason why I am giving this a 4 stars is because too often when I have come I see only 1 waitresses serving the entire restaurant! Management I respectfully ask that this be changed to improve customer service and reduce the waitress load. read more

Update: 7/18/25 just retuned for our 2nd visit on a Friday at 3pm. It was kind of empty at this time since their lunch time is over and it's too early for dinner. My son and I ordered new dishes so we can try more items on the menu. Our server was very outgoing and friendly and she took our order quickly. We ordered the Saltado de Pollo, Tallarines Saltado de Pollo and Pollo a la parilla with a side of Salsa Criolla. The food came exceptionally fast! Everything we chose was delicious!! Probably the only suggestion I'd make to the management would be to add some additional side dishes of grilled vegetables such as Garlic Green Beans or some Garlic Broccoli would be awesome. I still stand by my original review and recommend you check this place out. You won't be disappointed. Next time I'll order a few more new items on the menu to sample additional dishes. Original review: It was our first time eating at Sol Inka on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. My son and I were so impressed with the HUGE portions of food and the excellent service. We ordered our usual favorite Peruvian dishes, Milanesa de Pollo, Lomo Saltado and shared some of the Arroz Chaufa de Pollo. I'd recommend ordering multiple dishes to share family-style with your dining party. The food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection! My son doesn't usually like steak but he commented that the meat in the Lomo Saltado dish was so tender and had delicious flavor. The Aji was the perfect texture and thickness consistency that I prefer. They have a rather large menu selection of many traditional Peruvian dishes. We will definitely return with our family to try more items on the menu. If you love Peruvian food this place is a must! Your whole family will love the selections and quality of the dishes. We can't wait to return. read more

My coworker was craving Peruvian food and she said she saw this spot every time we drove by, so we checked it out. Probably one of the best Peruvian dishes I've ever had. I had their pescado sudado and popcorn chicken. The fish was phenomenal, especially the sauce it comes with. The starter bread is great with the butter. Their full plate of calamari, fried fish were excellent. Great flavor and it was a delicious dish. The popcorn chicken aka chicharron chicken was also delicious and I used the sauce from the fish to make it even more delectable. The plantains were also very delicious too. Overall it was a solid lunch experience with excellent customer service. I'd definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. read more

A hole in the wall type of restaurant with quaint interior and decor. I came here with two other people. The waitress was very friendly albeit the only staff we saw. She fixed our table, gave us the menu, took our order and served our food to our table without making it feel like it's taking forever. We ordered the following: Lomo Saltado - I've never had this before and I was very surprised with how tasty and savory this meal was. The meat, sauce and fries complemented each other. Tallarines Saltado de Carne - their noodles were cooked to perfection, not oily like other noodles and pretty tasty and savory as well. Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos - this was definitely an explosion of flavor with so many things combined with rice. Highly recommend this place for parties, small or big gatherings or just regular meal with your loved ones. read more

I am updating my review since it's been a few years since my first one. This is still my favorite place for Lomo Saltados. They are perfection. The house made fries really set this place above the rest. Service is also good, too. Ambiance is casual, but they play fun music and have cocktails. You are no longer allowed to bring your own bottle of wine. That's okay, since the sangria is amazing. Next time, I'd like to try the calamari. Every table was ordering it. Our server told us service has been a bit slow. We can't let anything happen to this place. In this economy, it is still very reasonably priced. Come out and support. read more

One of the best spots in the area, (which is constantly good), Sol Inka has some great dishes. Saltado De Pollo and the Saltado De Pollo are family favorites. Also great is the Tallarin Saltado De Pollo and the Tallarin con carne. The service is friendly and helpful but it does take a bit for the kitchen to get dishes out. They may not be a great choice, if you have to be in and out in under 30 minutes. But, if you have the time, Sol Inka is an excellent spot, and they are great with large parties. Definitely worth a visit. read more
