Inka Grill was founded on the home-style cooking of Ana Maria Montoya Kishihara. Born in a small fishing village in a northern province of Peru, she came to California in the early 1980's with two small children and a dream to make it in America. Working her way up in the food and hotel industry she honed her ideas and developed what has become her vision of Peruvian cuisine we hope you are about to enjoy. Many of our recipes were handed down to Ana by her grandmother, Juanita and her mother Fortunata. These are traditional dishes from the north and mountain regions of Peru. All of our ingredients are the freshest and are prepared to order.
I had never tried Peruvian food before eating at Inka Grill & I was very pleasantly surprised how much I really enjoyed it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked & the service was really good. I'll definitely be back!!

I love this place. Their food selection is great and very tasty. When I went to Peru last year, I ordered the same items I order here...and they tasted the same quality. You're getting quality Peruvian food without making the trip to South America. I am glad there is another one of these restaurants by my work so I can get my Inka fix anytime! Don't leave without trying the Lomo Saltado!

Good healthy Peruvian food. Selections are from grilled chicken and delicious seafood! They have good combination of soups with seafood. It has a very romantic environment with music in the background.

I have been eating at this great little place for 10 years now. They have several locations in the OC. I think the Lake Forest location was the first one. Nonetheless, the food is pretty consistent throughout. The staple dish of the restaurant is the Lomo Saltado (Sauteed steak w/ onions, tomatoes & fries) and I highly recommend it. They also have a great Jalea (fried seafood with onions and lime), this dish is meant to be shared with friends because it is huge! I'm getting hungry writing this :)
