El Pollo Inka

The Best Peruvian Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"El Pollo Inka is a fast-casual Peruvian spot with a few locations scattered around the South Bay. As you might’ve picked up from the name, this place serves chicken, and it’s great chicken, too. The birds here are beautifully marinated in herbs, spices, and lots of citrus that clings to the chicken skin for dear life. Although not included in the name, El Pollo Inka also specializes in criollo food—dishes with Spanish, African, and Indigenous influences. Try the creamy and spicy ají de gallina with olives and hard-boiled egg on top. The yellow ají gives the sauce its mild heat and acidity, and the dish comes with a side of white rice to mop everything up." - Sylvio Martins, Brant Cox
