inca's cafe

first tme eating peruvian. this was my first experience eating peruvian so i don't have much to compare it to but i have to say i was pretty impressed with what i got here. i started out with an appetizer, anticucho de corazon. i never eaten heart before so it was two firsts for me. i really did enjoy this though. it was well cooked and seasoned very nicely. i would suggest trying it if you feel up to eating heart. the steamed yucca it comes with was nice as well. my main dish was the carne asada. i didn't really get anything too off the beaten path but i liked it. the meat was cooked perfect and the plantains were really good. a friend got the chicha morada, which is a surprisingly tasteful juice drink. i definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to expand their cultural food experiences.

pretty good. i go there on regular basis, lunch is really cheap, the soups are always really good, they use to serve chips with their green signature sauce but they don't anymore :(
i love the cabrito but sometimes there is more bones than meat and it's either really tender or really tough but it's my favorite peruvian in dfw.

i had the best ceviche and cabrito (goat stew) i'm definitely coming back with my family. the server was very nice and attentive. all his recommendations were perfect.

wow, yum, double wow yum. i have no words to describe the pleasure i find when eating at inca's cafe. i'm soooooo glad i found this place and will certainly recommend it time after time. the service was great, but the food was just a complete different out of this universe story.

i mean, i love food, but never in my life have i enjoyed a ceviche and just some plain white rice to be sooooooo good. the pisco sour and desserts took me by surprise too as i thought i'd be like something i've had before, but i was wrong, yes...wrong!

top foods to try there

ceviche of any kind
cabrito
seafood of any kind
tres leches cake
inca sampler
lomito saltado

keep up the good work and hope this little place gets the word out to grow to be a well known place because it is worthy of any high cuisine authentic peruvian food recognition. yumm, i'm hungry again.

excellente food and service and affordable!!!!. on the contrary to the comment below me, i was highly referred to this restaurant by friends that enjoy good food among them some americans and peruvians. i visited several places before going to inca's cafe and in fact inca's cafe is the best latin restaurant i've been to since i moved to dallas from miami. it is a peruvian restaurant with great environment, the service was top of the line, the drinks were all fresh and deliscious. before heading to inca's cafe i visited their website and it fact it said about the independence day celebration taking place later in the evening, so we made reservations to get there earlier right before dinner.
my recommendations are:
any ceviche or seafood dish
jalea, lomito saltado, incal sampler and plato del caribe...
i also tried their "cabrito" which won a best of dallas award so, hmmm, that's got to be good if the food critics says is the best, the were darn right lol

as far as the pisco sour goes, they sell those suckers like crazy, so i'm not so sure they're as bad as they say since i'm not too familiar with them, but the fact is i see one in almost every table when i go there which is reguarly at lest twice a week for lunch since it's soo cheap and good food.

i'd recommend this to anyone who wants to be adventurous and give this place a shot. you won't regret it. don't take my word or anyone else's. just go and have a good meal and you'll feel glad you gave it a shot.

oh try their caramel cookies or "alphajores" as they call it. they are so good. they kind of melt in your mouth and want you wanting more, so watch out. lol

bad food, poorly managed. the ambiance is pleasant enough but the food was a disappointment. the pisco sour is made with cheap pisco and too much lime juice, the inca cola is watered down. the ceviche mixto is substandard with a barely marinated fish and nothing else in the mix (as there should be based on the name of the dish). the yuccas are bland. the seco de cabrito consisted of mostly bones. i think that the owner is trying to squeeze a big profit from little quality. i tried again to give it another chance but it turned out to be a peruvian celebration evening and the owner was charging an admission price at the door. she insisted that a family pay even for their two year old in tow, who was not going to eat or take up a seat. actions like these on the part of restaurant owners give me a bad feeling. will not be going back. if you do not want to have a bad experience or questionable food, you should not either.

very good food. service was a little shaky at first, but got better. the live music was nice, but a little loud. not good for a first date.

better than expected actually. yes, i was told inca's had excellent food and other good things. once i visited this place all i can say is i got wayyyyyyyy more than what expected. the food was so delicious and very affordable. our server was friendly and took his time explaining the menu and gave us great suggestions. plus we tasted some food samples that made us want to eat the whole menu. i just moved to carrollton from miami and i'm glad this place is close to me since i'm a regular customer already. happy hour and live music too.

awesome peruvian food. the best peruvian food in all of the dfw area!

wow, best peruvian food in tx. i've been throughout the entire state of tx and have tried many restaurants, some good, some not so good and none of the ones i thought that were good can compete against the falvors and freshness of inca's cafe. so, if you're in the dallas area and want to try great authentic food from peru, you have to try this place. the must have on the menu would be: ceviche, lomito, jalea and the inca sampler, and don't forget to try their "green sauce" dip...ohhhh and if you like music, go there on friday nights for dinner, it gets loud so be ready to experience the culture through their music and food.

wow i'm the first comment ;) all i can say is that inca's cafe has by far the best latin american food i've tried since i've moved to dallas from miami. omg their ceviche is out of this world, every dish i had was "delicioso" and the service even better. do give this new place a shot and you'll get hooked. people the food is great and very affordable and you get very personable service oh yeah and the owner is very nice. my menu suggestions are any seafood dish and the lomito yuumm
