There are five Peruvian restaurants in the North suburbs and Inca’s Cafe is my favorite although its the furthest away from home. We were in Carrollton on business and stopped off for a late lunch.We started with a Peruvian beer (a very nice lager) and the native purple corn juice, whose name I forget, but is a favorite of my wife.My wife had a very nice roasted chicken, and I had my usual lomito pollo saltado, a nice of grilled chicken with tomatoes, onions, peppers, served over french fries with rice. Add in two very good hot sauces on the side and this is an excellent meal.Then we splurged for desert and had a combination of rice pudding and Mazamorra Morada (purple corn pudding). I thought it good but my wife loved it and finished every bite.If this wasn’t 30 minutes away I would be here many times a month!
Service was so bad. No one there to seat us and the waitress had an attitude. Then there was a hair in my food so that was just perfect. If you’re looking to try new food, go somewhere else.
Not cheap, but very creative. On the Latin scale, Peruvian food would best be described as a middle-of-the-road fusion, in my opinion. What it lacks in overt originality, Inca’s certainly makes up for it with subtle creativity.A national favorite purple corn, fruit and cinnamon drink was delicious and was the perfect culinary prelude. Artistry displayed in preparation, sauces and dressings is what will make you want to come back. My favorite was the yellow pepper cream with a hint of cheese adorning a soft, warm potato for the appetizer. It had a pleasant spice profile that lingered for the perfect amount of time. Ceviche was reported as quality and respectably citrused. Cilantro rice for my main was simple, but well-executed. First time in a long time I have had fried plantains that were perfect and not fried into a puddle of ooze. Same goes for the soft yucca. Black bean side was generous and paired well with a homemade pair of hot sauces. Salad dressing was a delightful mixture of oil and acidity. I was too full from dinner, but the bites of the desserts I had from my husband and best friend were also great. The tres leches was the best I have had (ignoring the cool whip). The only thing that was not up to expectations was the overdone carne asada.Inca’s is not inexpensive, but it is true small business run by a chef that cares deeply about quality cuisine. Definitely worth the visit.
