Always treated really nice and they have a huge place so not a lot of waiting on regular days or weekends. They have live music on special days and it makes it more romantic..!

I was excited to discover that there were a number of Peruvian restaurants in this area. Inkatha Mama got a good review on Yelp and was convenient to my client's office so I decided to visit. I'm currently on Weight Watchers so I was looking for a "low point" meal and ceviche always fits the bill. I started with a... More

I stopped by here on a Wednesday night at 5:30 pm. I was approached immediately and was seated right away. Inside they have booths along the walls and tables in the middle of the room. There was music playing at a comfortable volume. As they brought the menu, I was given a plate with some bread and a squeeze bottle... More

After a visit to South America, we discovered the drink 'pisco sour'. After a web search for places that make it locally, I discovered Inka Mama's 3 locations and picked the Aliso Viejo location to try. Despite being in a strip mall, the interior of this restaurant is warm, colorful and inviting. While the male waiter was lackluster, the owner... More

As always a great experience. The food is absolutely delicious! We have been here several times, tried different dishes and were never disappointed. I wish I could say it is genuine Peruvian food but I would not know what that is. What I can say though that it is different and different in a good way. Love it! It is... More

The company I was calling on made the recommendation. Went for it. Had never tried Peruvian food. Wish I remember the name of the dish, but it's what they recommended, and the waitress concurred, so just ask for their most popular dish. Chicken and rice are inlvoved, they will spice it up if you ask. Prompt, friendly service. Outstanding dish.... More

From the ceviche mixta to the Pariheula (seafood bouillibasse to the flan -- this was a wonderful experience. As this was my first Peruvian cuisine experience I was not sure of what to expect. The atmosphere is casual and includes a musician playing the zampona - a wonderful touch. The service was attentive and very pleasant. I'm always hesitant to... More

The appetizers are amazing! Tuesday is empanadas for $1.50. Ceviche very good and if you have room, the main dishes are wonderful! A true find

We've had food here several times over the last few years. Everything has always been excellent and service friendly. The lunch specials ($7 or $8 including soup/salad) are fabulous. Their homemade soup (chicken, rice, and cilantro) is great and we always get it. Very nice restaurant with lovely wall murals. Definitely recommend.
