El Pollo Inka in a great place to eat Peruvian food. They're food was wonderful in so many ways. The services was very friendly and at night they even have a dance floor so u can dance. It also has that classic Peruvian look to the place. I would really recommend it to everyone.

This is a great place to eat, good lunch specials. The only thing I suggest is to ask for lite oil.
- Pros: Great Chicken dishes
- Cons: A little too much oil in the dishes

I love this place. My favorite is the chicken soup, made with cilantro (called Aguadito). They make fresh rolls that are to die for. The food is thick and comforting, rich stews and sauces, beans and rice. They have a variety of meats like lamb, chicken and beef. Saturday nights include live entertainment. It's great fun.

This restaurant is one of my family's favorites. I really like the pollo apanado they have there and the papas a la huancaina are simply the best. The prices are ok and best of all, you can get inka cola!!! It's the perfect place for peruvians and south americans who miss home cooking.
Hit mini-chain menu includes namesake rotisserie chicken and Peruvian dishes.

In Short
Totems of Peruvian history create the atmosphere: Plaster-cast walls mimic stone temples and carved gods, while art, textiles and photos festoon the remainder of the room. The cuisine is as lively as the decor and is anchored by the house special spiced rotisserie chicken. Fish and meat dishes are also offered--fish stew, Peruvian shrimp fried rice, or steak with fried egg and plantains. Saltado--sauteed tomatoes, onions and french fries--is available with beef, shrimp, mixed seafood or vegetarian-style.

This is one of my husband's favorite place to go. The food is always great and he loves the music. They have a live band on the weekends and it can get pretty crowded. You will have a good wait if you don't get there early during dinner time. We, as a family, all have our favorites. My husband always orders the same thing but I like to try other things on the menu. I highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to give it a try.

I'm not sure if this is owned by the same people as the one in Hermosa Beach, because if it is, then it's the cook who isn't as good. Don't get me wrong, they have really good, tasty food here, but it's not as good as Hermosa. It is a much larger restaurant though, so there is not usually a wait to be seated, even on the weekends. The service is OK.
quality has gone WAY down

this place use to be very good but lately, i wouldnt dare take a friend here to eat. ok, they do chicken right, ill give them that. and what they put in their rice, im not sure, but its good (get the rice instead of the fries bc the fries are soggy and are not very good). i got Aji de Gallina (shredded chicken in walnut sauce) recently and the sauce was obviously watered down. i told them that i had been going there since it use to be Eat at Ed's, and its never looked like that and they said sorry too bad. And every time I go now, the papa a la huancaína gets more and more expensive--its just a potato with spicy cheese sauce (really good to dip the chicken in).
they have a really good lunch special (get the chix soup--very tasty, seasoned with lime), very cheap.
they need to get over themselves and start improving the quality bc its not where it use to be.
The best non-authentic Peruvian food

Its not authentic peruvian (told to me by a native), but I love it! great lunch specials and don't forget to try the picante de pollo (which is unique to the torrance branch.. the other ones dont have it). I go there at least once a week , extremely friendly waiters and quick service at times.. The aji sauce (green stuff) is just amazing.
- Pros: Value for money, Tasty food!
