Inka’s Chicken

The name of this place is very deceiving as it implies that there is, in fact, Peruvian food.
I tried to order the papa la huancaina which the lady could not even pronounce, she said they were all out. The only other item that sounded remotely Peruvian was the salchipapas which is basically just cut up hot dogs and French fries, needless to say the true Peruvian cuisine is not reflected in this food truck. Now I do understand it is only a food truck but as a Peruvian, I would expect that a place with the name inka’s chicken followed by a sign that says a taste of Peru would have more than 2 – 3 items representing Peruvian food, not to mention it would actually taste like Peruvian food. I ended up ordering the ¼ chicken, there was an attempt to copy the taste of pollo a la brasa, but the taste was just not there. I am saddened by the name of this place and the lack of «Peruvian» anything.

Excellent chicken and hot sauce has a unique taste. We highly recommend the beans, rice and half chicken. Haven’t tried the other dishes –empanadas, etc but if they are cooked with the same attention to detail as the Inka chicken then if say it will probably be worth the money. Call ahead and they’ll have your order ready for pickup in ten minutes if it is not real busy. We are wondering when they will move from food wagon to full restaurant. We were big fans of El Pollo Rojo that used to be located on arctic and 36^th many years ago and Inka Chicken would give them a run for their money…
