I am very pleased and impressed with the fabulous experience celebrating a birthday at Inca Paisa Astoria. The food was quite delicious and with an impressive presentation matching the pictures online and on their menu. Stephanie took care of reserving a last-minute birthday lunch for my family. Stephanie and Jaime were super sweet to all our guests and took it to the next level by decorating the tres leches birthday cake with sparkling candles and fun Latino music! I was a big fan of their ceviche Peruano con pescado, rotisserie chicken, avocado salad, and steak dishes. I can’t wait to try their variety of fried rices next time. The chiche morada was incredible! Incredible ambience and super caring staff! Totalmente se lo recomiendo aquellos que les encanta la comida latina o los que quieren aventurar con un lugar nuevo! Highly recommend it!

Adrianna was So sweet, I loved her service. She doesn’t fail to converse with you. She’s so kind and thoughtful and the biggest heart the biggest beautiful soul come to Inca Paisa . Because you just need more Adriana in your life and the food, the food was the cherry topper! Every flavor so on point and intentional
I went with my family today and we really loved the place. The atmosphere was very calm and perfect for families I 100% recommend it. I especially want to highlight the service from our waitress, Paula, who was always very kind and attentive. Our table never lacked anything. If you visit this restaurant, I highly recommend asking for Paula as your waitress. I will definitely come back to this place with my family.
Food and drinks very good and tasty. Andrea was our waitress and her service was excellent!
Food was decent, it wasn’t Peruvian for me but more of a Colombian fusion. The drinks were amazing! Excellent pisco sour.
The place looks nice and the customer service too but my opinion with the food i feel it’s not good at all, honestly i will not come back, i have taste other peruvian restaurants but this one , the rice it’s too salty and no flavor at all. the Chicha morada Water it’s too sour and no good taste. Lo siento pero eh quedado decepcionada con su comida. no volvería a consumir con ustedes al menos que cambien la forma de cocinar.
Tried this restaurant for the first with my bestfriend and our kids. The food was amazing! The only thing missing was the service. The server could have been more attentive to our table and our server did not check in with us at all. For a restaurant like this that has multiple locations, I expected better customer service! I will be trying a different location to see if I get a different experience.

Thanks Marisol, so happy the kids loved the food and sorry our service didn’t keep up. Hope your next visit to our Astoria restaurant is picture perfect!
Love this place. Was hungry and decided to stop in. The guy who was my waiter was really nice. The food was great! Better than I expected. Im from the west indies and love my food seasoned well and they did just that. Definitely recommend. The lunch special is a major major GO! Check it out!

Big thanks, Fedon! We loved having you at our Astoria restaurant — can’t wait to see you back for another tasty visit.
Food was authentic and spectacular. Great flavor and fresh ingredients. Took my daughter and family here for her birthday dinner. Went on a Saturday so atmosphere was fun, but a bit loud for others maybe. Dishes came out fast, but had to wait a minute for the check. Overall though A+ !
Response from the owner
Thanks so much, Andrew! We’re thrilled you celebrated with us in Astoria, appreciate the A+, and we’ll make sure the check gets to your table faster next time.
What a pleasant surprise to find such a hidden gem here! Inca Paisa just gave me a very generous portioned delicious lunch special not to mention free plantains before my meal. Wow! The food was amazing and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. My waitresses were Stephany and Paola. The manager was very kind as well (Wally). I will definitely be returning. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
This is my favorite restaurant in my Astoria neighborhood by far. The atmosphere is awesome, in large part because of the irresistible Latin music, but also due to the lush decor. The food is outstanding, novel for me, and generously portioned. And the meal pictured is gluten-free! Staff is always welcoming and service just right. Love this place.

June was a great month to try new places and this name stood up. We came here with family to celebrate father's day. We experienced an early morning brunch. The locatios is kind of small, cozy I would say. The food was good and the atmosphere great. I have to come back here to try more dishes and see if service was improved.

Hey Luis! Thanks for sharing your experience at our cozy little Astoria restaurant. We're glad you enjoyed the food and atmosphere—come back soon to explore more of our menu!
Came here yesterday for my first time, the Food and drinks were good but my issue was my waiter Stephanie. It was me and my husband who decided to pay them a visit, we get there and immediately was greeted by one of the bartenders and within 2 mins we was already seated, coool. Now the problem comes in when we just sitting there for about 15 to 20 mins before our waiter came to greet us, so she starts asking us what we want and we order. The appetizers came then the food. I had the skirt grilled steak with the white rice and maduros and he had the seafood rice. Delicious!!! But as we almost done I realized everyone had been sat with some chips on their table but we didn’t get that and that made me feel a lil way🥺 I had also asked for a mojito for my meat since it was suppose to come with the chimi sauce but she never gave me that and here comes another server with a mojito drink, places it on the table and walks away so I’m thinking to myself, WRONG TABLE, but no, my waiter thought I had ordered another drink already still having one of my own on the table she then comes to me and insists that I ordered the mojito drink and now I had to break it down and tell her I’m Dominican and we call the garlic sauce mojito but not that I needed another drink on my table when I already had mines and he had his. She seemed a bit bothered by the situation which made me feel a way since it was a misunderstanding and deff ain’t coming out her pocket so it did make me feel like I did something wrong and that’s NOT OK!!! Now I noticed she’s literally telling everyone she works with how I’m Dominican and I ordered a mojito but not a drink which was just rude honestly. We make mistakes and things happen but her as the worker, my server should wanna make me feel welcomed and give me the best dine in experience which she never did but still was charged a 20$ tip which is included in the bill so that was a bummer. Food and drinks were good but I wouldn’t come back due to her lack of consideration. Everyone else seemed nice, I think it was HER being too comfortable but that’s not ok to treat people like that.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Miila! We're glad you enjoyed the food, but we're truly sorry that your service didn't match the vibe we strive for; we'll certainly address this to ensure everyone feels welcomed and special.
I was here on a Sunday evening to celebrate my mother’s Birthday dinner and we had a pleasant experience.<br>Let me start by sharing the things we liked about Inca Paisa; there is a parking lot for all the establishments in the area so it was very convenient to park, very nice decor and aesthetic, good ambiance, each one of us enjoyed the food we ordered; we thought portions were fair as well as pricing and the waitresses and waiter were all kind to us.<br>Things we did not like very much; food had a long wait to come out, we had to ask for water several times, napkins and more utensils so these are customer service points that can definitely improve, the bathroom could also be so much cleaner.<br>In conclusion, we enjoyed the time we spent here as a family, although the food was good & our experience was positive, I didn’t feel it stood out enough to make me want to explore other options on their menu.
