| - After driving 20 miles, on Saturday we finally arrived for our first and not knowingly our last meal at the Inka Grill. Small location in strip mall, which is not a turn off, since we've found excellent food in small, family owned restaurants. They were not busy, only 4 tables with guests, lunch time, we got there around 1:30. The server came and took our drink orders, 1 beer, 1 pisco sour and 1 soda. She returned about 5 minutes later with the beer and soda, no pisco sour; and took our food order. We asked for the yuca huancaina as the appetizer, 2 cevices and 1/4 grilled chicken. Out came the yuca, a small portion considering the price, but ok. Still no pisco sour...when we asked the waitress, she said the gentleman that makes them had stepped out, but we would get our drink as soon as he came back. 25 minutes passed by before one of the ceviches came, then 5 minutes later the chicken. When the second ceviche was brought out 10 minutes AFTER the chicken (I still don't understand why both ceviches weren't served at the same time), the waitress suggested we get something other than the pisco sour. When asked what happened, she just stayed quiet. We ordered 2 beers.
The portions were adequate, nothing spectacular or to rave about. The portions of the fish pieces for the ceviche were a bit large. Chicken was good, not overcooked, seasoning was alright. Again nothing worth coming back for.
Our waitress checked with us one time to see how everything was, the next time she came by was with the bill. What a surprise! There was the pisco sour in all it's glory being charged on our bill. When asked why it had not been removed, she stated that the 2 beers would not be charged, however the 2 beers at $3.50 each should have been $7, not $8. When this was pointed out, her reply was, "oh, yes, he'll give you back a dollar, when you pay". Really? We asked if the manager was available and was told he only comes in for dinner time. We texted him a message to the number under the cash register, still have not received a reply.
If the manager can't trust his staff to make adjustments or corrections on the bills, then he should have an assistant manager during the hours he's not there. Terrible service, definitely not worth going there. Much better Peruvian food elsewhere in the valley.
Oh, and BTW. The cashier didn't give us the $1 after all.
