| - Once in awhile, I walk into a restaurant and it just as the "it" factor that makes me know I am going to have a good meal. Inca's was such a place. Despite being located in an area filled with chain restaurants and corporate offices, once inside and dining, the atmosphere feels more cosmopolitan that if you don't look out the window and see the massive parking lot filled with giant cars, you could be in East Village, NYC.
I went there today with two friends who also love good food and food always taste better when eaten in the company of other foodies, esp. if one of them is Peruvian and tell you in details the ingrediants of what you are eating.
After perusing the extensive menu, we ordered a pitcher of the Chichas Morada which is noncarbonated juice made from purple corn cooked with pineapple and apple with a dash of cinnamon and sugar. 100% natural and so refreshing.
We started off our lunch with the Ceviche Mixto which is a fillet of white fish cut into slices, large shrimp, calamari, and red onion cooked by being marinated in Peruvian lime juice mixed with spices. The portion was large, enough to share between the three of us and it was fresh and mouth watering delicious. It also came with a piece of Peruvian corn with kernels so large (and I mean the size of a caramel) and meaty without being tough, something I had never had before and it was delicious!
From there we ordered the Papa Rellena which are potatoes stuffed with angus beef, anticuchos which are two skewers of grilled tenderloin cubes of beef heart, Ocopa de Camaron and that was delicious as well. It was all delicious!
