El Pollo Inka Peru

"I know of this establishment. They started as a little place in Jackson Heights. They have since expanded. At the time, I was an urgent care doctor working in corona queens. A Peruvian surgeon recommended this establishment. Listen, just come with an empty belly. Try the Jalea, it is AMAZING. AMAZING. I would take this stuff back to my mom. In Greenwich, CT. And she would beg for more. Be patient, be open minded and enjoy the food. Just relax. I am really happy that they were able to expand. Couldn’t have happened to a better small business. I live too far to come now, but honestly I can’t find Jalea that tastes as good ANYWHERE."

"I have been a loyal customer of Pollo Inka located on Northern Boulevard for several years. Naturally, I was thrilled when they opened a new location in Forest Hills, which is within walking distance from my home. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to discover that the food quality at the Forest Hills location does not compare to that of the Northern Boulevard establishment. Furthermore, the customer service at this new location is, at best, average."

"I went for dinner. I was eating and all of a sudden, COACKROACHES were climbing on the wall and flying. We saw three coackroaches. That was disgusting. Staff was looking and not helping. After a few minutes a guy from the kitchen came and tried to kill it with a broom. Another customer, step on one of them. Horrible experience, plus the restaurant charged us normal. I had to complain and they took only a few dollars. Unbelivsble. Super dirty place. I cant imagine how is the kitchen inside…"

"Service was quick, seated upon arrival without wait. My waitress was attentive. Hot food, inexpensive for lunch. My pics may not do the food justice, but the chicken was moist, and the tostones were crisp without being dry."

"Surprisingly good ! Why do I say that? El pollo Inka Peru seems to be just another chicken restaurant in the area, however they keep a balanced and traditional flavor profile, as many of this type of restaurants don't, this place makes you want to come back for more. The portions are substantial and affordable, I've ordered a Whole Chichen combo, which was juicy and tender, came with side of sweet plantains, yellow rice, salchi-papas ( fries and sausage) and house salad, also ordered the Fried Seafood Platter a.k.a. (Jalea) family portion, although this dish is a fried mix of seafood like calamari, shrimp, white fish, crab, mussels or scallops, also fried yuca/cassava topped with lime marinated red onios and cilantro, most of what you are getting here is calamari (about 80%), would be nice if they work more on their mix. You have to try the green spicy sauce on everything !!! The sangria is average but the bitter fruit might ruin it for you, dessert definitely needs improvement. Overall there are more positives than negatives, don't expect excellent service but is friendly enough, my best experience was dining in but I've also done take out. I would give this review 3.5 but since is not possible I'm hoping they can keep it up and do a little better."
