Inka Mama's 26676 Portola Parkway, Lake Forest, CA 92610

"We had a reservation for 8 at 6pm on a Saturday and were seated promptly. The service was exceptional at this small authentic family Peruvian restaurant. The FOOD, oh my, just amazing!! The founding owner's son took perfect care of us and answered questions and served us as friends. Very highly recommend!"

"This was our second time eating at Inka Mama's and the food was equally as tasty both times. We had the Empanada's (beef and chicken) and Shrimp Causa appetizers, and the Maracuya (passionfruit) drink. We're glad we tried them but they aren't worth the price. We had the Cabrito Norteño (Lamb stew) and Chupe de Camarón (Shrimp soup). The lamb had a little gaminess that helped enhance the flavor. The shrimp soup was pleasant and reminded me of my mom's homemade soup. Would recommend both dishes! For dessert, we had the Sweet Francesca. Absolutely delicious, if you like plantain, but was almost too sweet from the condensed milk. Overall, the food is flavorful, the service was great, and we enjoyed it but we're giving it 4 stars due to the price."

"Peruvian food is one of my favorites. That being said I would pass on this place if I was you. We paid $61 for our meals....not worth it at all I ordered the garlic shrimp plate Pros: good amount of shrimp and it was cooked perfectly Cons: the sauce was ok, it tastes like something I'd have at Norm's. I definitely don't recommend it, as the food did not settle right and I had to use the ladies room shortly after leaving the restaurant. We also ordered the onioned beef plate Pros: the onions were good but not $28 dollars good Cons: The portion was small, two tiny pieces of beef that tasted like. Salisbury steak. I definitely don't recommend this one either The ahi sauce was good, table bread was ok. We were the only two people in the restaurant, the service was just ok. It could have been better but the owner and the server were more interested in their phones."

"This place will be on your list of favorites after the first bite! It took us way too long to finally try Inka Mama's. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Heidi was very patient and helpful. No doubt we will be back again and again!"

"Delicious! Excellent all around! Party of three on a Saturday around 12:30 pm. The restaurant was not too busy, and no waiting to be seated. The owners actually work like the rest of their staff. Our waitress was actually one of the owners (One of the two sisters.) Service was really good, she was quick, welcomed us with a smile, and she gave us very good recommendations since it was our first time. The atmosphere was perfect. Not too loud, not too quite. Perfect for groups, couples, and families. Beautiful Peruvian decoration. It was a very inviting theme! Our food was served quickly, and it looked delicious. The taste was superb, in my book. I had the Arroz con Mariscos, the rice was very well cooked, and plenty of seafood on my plate. Very nice combination of the paella! Loved it. Definitely worth a try! If you live around the area, it should be a must try. There is plenty of parking, so no need to worry about that. Food tasted Homemade!"
