Inca's Grill Peruvian Kitchen 126 Lincoln Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

"Yesterday we went to enjoy a bday lunch. The food was amazing, service was excellent. The owner was very friendly, polite and just wonderful. We were a party of 7, a lot of us had the specials , wow they were so good. You have to try this place. If I could give it more stars I would. We will be back next month."

"Delicious Peruvian food. The amount of food for the platter is enough to get super full, and very flavorful. The service was great, they were very friendly."

"This spot is so cute and friendly! My sister and I enjoyed the delicious lunch specials in a lovely atmosphere. I'm looking forward to our next visit. I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Small place but the atmosphere felt very authentic. The appetizer skewers we thought was liver but it was actually heart and it tasted great! They have a spicy sauce that they make in house and it's delicious! We bought an 8oz container to go. My buddy ordered meat combo and it came out on a pig with flame canister inside! I posted a pic. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this place!"

"Unimpressive overpriced food and just ok service After reading many good reviews we visited Inca's Grill on September 1, 2022 looking for Peruvian specialties. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Out of all the dishes we ordered only Lamb Shank was really good, and that was a special of the day. Everything else was "so-so, I could do without it" - see detailed descriptions below. The service was ok, polite, and quick. There was some construction going in the back of the restaurant causing a terrible annoying noise. The right thing to do was not to open for business during construction hours and don't let customers bear with it. As it was mentioned in other reviews the place is really overpriced and they also added a forced 20% gratuity to the check though it was just 3 adults and a 7y child. This was quite annoying but expected based on the reviews. Appetizers: Cebiche Limeno - it was a fish ceviche with nice presentation, but besides standard lemon juice, onion, cilantro it had something else giving it a weird taste. I ate it but my wife passed. The price was $20 while on their website it's listed at $17. Anticucchos de Corazon - "tender grilled veal heart skewers" - that's how menu describes it. In reality it was hardly chewable and very far from tender. We tried a couple of bites and that was it. The price was $14 while on their website it's listed at $12. Mains: Lomo Saltado - we got it a signature Peruvian dish. In reality it was a plate of chewey pieces of well-done beef with fries. And for some reason it was served with rice. Do we really need rice with french fries? Anyway, we can certainly make a much better beef with fries a home. And this was priced at $24 (website price $22). Lamb Shank - it was excellent. Meat was very tender, perfectly cooked with good complimenting sauce. It costed $35 though which was excessive for a place in the middle of Staten Island. And for the child we got chicken fingers with french fries. $13. Seriously? On their website they list 1/2 rotisserie chicken at $12. Drinks: We got Piscojito (Peruvian style mojito) which was a quite small glass thoroughly filled with ice and costing $14. Don't take me wrong, I have no problem paying good money for great food and service. But the reason I mentioned the prices was that they didn't match the quality of food, service, interior, atmosphere, and restaurant location. We got a feeling the restaurant was more focused on making some extra $$ rather than making customers and happy and willing to come back. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant and we are not coming back."
