El Inca Plebeyo Restaurant

Delicious and hearty! The menu is quite short, which is a great sign that each dish has been chosen carefully and perfected. This feels like the case here. We were two and shared the baby chicken and the slow roasted pork shoulder and the quinoa cream for dessert. That was a good amount and everything was really tasty. Particularly recommend the slow roasted pork. Homemade lemonade is nice too.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was great value for money and very authentic. I would love to come again. The background music was great as well and not too loud.

Stepping into Inca Plebeyo feels like coming home. The cozy decor, vibrant textiles, and welcoming smiles create an ambiance that’s pure Ecuadorian warmth. The menu is a celebration of tradition. I began with the ceviche de camarón, bursting with fresh, citrusy flavors. But it was the encebollado that truly stole the show—rich, hearty, and perfectly seasoned, with tender chunks of fish that tasted like the coast itself. One spoonful, and I was back at my family's table, savoring the essence of Ecuador. We couldn’t resist ordering the patacones—and they were so mind-blowing that we had to get a second round. It’s rare for such a simple dish to stand out, but these were perfectly crisp, golden, and the ideal complement to everything else on the table. For the main course, I enjoyed llapingachos with lamb chops, served alongside smoky mote sucio—a comforting, well-balanced dish that rounded out the experience beautifully. Special mention goes to Daniel, who looked after us with genuine care and respect, always attentive but never intrusive. His warmth and thoughtful service made the experience even more special, reflecting the true spirit of Ecuadorian hospitality. If you’re longing for the true taste of Ecuador, Inca Plebeyo is the place to be. It’s not just a meal—it’s a heartfelt journey back home.

I attended the dinning experience yesterday evening with a group of my friends and family at El Inca Plebeyo Restaurant with the amazing two chefs who crafted a menu infused with a blend of Ecuadorian and Mediterranean cuisines from starters to dessert. There was also a dedicated wine maker who recommend the best wine for each dish. I hope El Inca Plebeyo does more amazing events like this again :-).

I've never had Ecuadorian food before-- and this was terrific. I recognized some crossover with Peruvian dishes such as ceviche, tiradito and grilled ox heart. We shared a bunch of starters and sides. I ordered the tuna tiradito and ox heart. My companion ordered the baked aubergine and tamal. We got the trio of sauces from the sides section of the menu. Because we were still a bit peckish after the starters we also asked for the menestre or bean stew with pork, also listed as a side. The ox heart starter was terrific and grilled to rare which is great for this cut. It was accompanied by a a soft potato patty made from mash and some very large corn kernels. This dish would have been tasty eaten on it's own, but slathered with the sauce selection we ordered it was marvelous. Sauces were a hot raw salsa containing tomato, coriander, chilli, and onion, an Ecuadorian chimmichurri which was quite acidic and containing plenty of raw onion, and an ajioli. I also pinched quite a lot of the coriander sauce that accompanied my companion's tamal. The tiradito was good but rather restrained after the flavour bomb of the ox heart with different condiments. I should have eaten the tiradito first. My companion's baked aubergine was lovely, subtle and fresh. For my taste, his pork tamal was a little stodgy. However the punchy coriander sauce that was served alongside brightened it up no end. Our waitress explained that Ecuadorian food is a little different from other South American cuisines because the heat is in the accompanying sauces, not in the underpinnings. This makes it easy to customize the chilli level for individual preferences. We waited a while for the bean stew which was ordered after we finished everything else, and still wanted something to mop up the last of the sauces. Unfortunately we were delivered the beans with cheese despite ordering beans with pork. The waitress asked us if we wanted to keep the cheese version rather than wait for the pork and bean stew, and I was a little disappointed that the wrong order wasn't offered for free. So I decided for another wait to get the beans with pork, but it was worth it, having tasted both versions. The pork had been braised to smithereens and was soft shredded pulp, turning it into a succulent coating for the beans. The cheapest red house wine was a decent tempranillo for £30. We will be back and try some of the mains. Our order including a bottle of house red was just over £100. As starter portions are on the small side, mains might be better value. Don't miss the sauces, and if the trio from the sides section of menu doesn't include the coriander sauce (it is listed on the menu, but it wasn't in our sauce selection), definitely ask for the coriander sauce. We’ve since been back and can add the grilled chicken wings from the hot starters and the roast mushrooms from the sides section of the menu to the “do not miss” items from the menu. Both deliciously smokey. Added photos from our second visit.

Amazing ecuatorian place. Great vibes, food was tasty and delicious. Ceviche, patacones, tamal, parrilla and meat dishes. Desserts were perfect, loved the quinoa one. If you have any intolerance they can make arrangements for you. We have the pleasure to meet the Chef Jorge P. Supper recommend it 😉

We took a group of clients to this restaurant to try something different. It was amazing. Super welcoming staff/owner. The watched the food being prepared from scratch through a serving hatch, everything was so fresh. We took their advice and chose a wide range of food to share so we could experience some new flavours, every dish was an exploration bouncing with flavour. Their Civiche is the absolute best, totally authentic.

Excellent restaurant. While I've eaten at South American restaurants many times, they've been mostly Argentinian and Peruvian, so it was my first time at an Ecuadorian place. It was definitely worth it. All the dishes were good, both starters (croquettes and aubergine) and mains (spinach lamb and fish stew). The quinoa dessert was amazing. I enjoyed the decor and the service was fast and friendly. I guess the only note is that the mains - especially the lamb - were a bit small in size, so you might need something extra. Recommended in any case.

Excellent food and standard of the service. However, I disliked being billed 9 pounds for a juice and 10 pounds for a bowl of guacamole. Main courses are reasonably priced, but all the sides and starters are quite expensive.

One of my favourite places to eat in Angel. Food is amazing with a good selection of ceviches and really nice mains and the service is so warm and friendly. We've had just about everything in this menu so we would highly recommend getting 1-2 ceviches per person with patacones and maybe sharing a main. They also make a pretty mean pisco sour!

Came here last night and it was absolutely delicious! We started with the prawn ceviche and a side of fried green plantains. Then we shared the fish stew with coconut and the Ecuadorian roast "Hornado" and a bottle of Tempranillo Garnacha. Lastly for dessert we had the roasted pumpkin with homemade cheese. The ceviche was slightly spicy, but not enough to linger and went very well with the plantains. We were recommended to dip them in the ceviche sauce, which I would also recommend when you come! I felt the entrees were a bit small, so if you are starving, definitely get your own entree and a starter, or two. Regardless of the size, the taste was splendid. The fish stew with coconut was absolutely delicious and very light. I love coconut but usually feel entrees with coconut tend to get too rich and make me feel sick afterwards. This is not the case. Chef Jorge Pacheco did a wonderful job of creating balance. My only critique would be to change how it is served. The bowl is very shallow and it gets tedious eating teaspoons at a time. The Hornado is a slow cooked pork for 12 hrs and was one of the best slow cooked porks I have ever had. There were some bits that were border line dry but the flavor makes up for that. The roasted pumpkin with homemade cheese was great for a few bites but for me was too sweet, so it is great to share! The dessert is served with its skin which made it tough to eat with just a spoon. The service was impeccable. Jimena is lovely and very knowledgeable. She was the one who recommended everything and gave us tips on how to eat dishes. We will definitely be returning!

I came to El Inca Plebeyo on the hunt for ceviche. We ordered Ceviche Clasico and Hot Prawn Ceviche and they did not disappoint, both dishes were flavourful and fresh with the quinoa in the prawns adding some lovely texture. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly providing an excellent service throughout our visit. I would highly recommend this place for it's vibe, the cosiness and the personality that it's staff provide with their fantastic service. We for sure will be going back again to try their Tiraditos!

I came into the restaurant with a Groupon, and will 100% return. The chef is from Ecuador so the cuisine is quite unique. The food was all very flavourful- I highly recommend the green banana soup, which is made with bananas (obviously) and homemade cheese. We went on a rainy weekday, so it was pretty empty and it allowed the server to spend a lot of time telling us about the restaurant and the dishes. I was thoroughly impressed and recommend a visit here.

This place opened up about a year ago, and the fact that it's right next to a Peruvian place I didn't much take to put me off (unfairly, I know) for some time. And what wasted time it was! This place is fantastic. The staff are lovely and sweet, the food was great, and the entire vibe is cozy Latin American. On our first visit we tried: Ceviche Ecuatoriano: lovely and fresh Plátanos con Queso: possibly my favourite. I love plantains! Just a great combo with queso fresca and tomatoes Parrilla Plebeya: Mixed platter with 3 kinds of meat. It would easily have been fine for three of us, but having a few bits to take home wasn't sad either. On this day it was lamb, pork and chicken, all of which were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. This place is just down the road for me, so I plan to be a frequent visitor, but even if you're coming from further afield, it would be worth the trip!

I was just passing by and popped in, the atmosphere was good, I had "patacones" fried and mashed green plantains for starter and a couple of beers "pilsener" original from Ecuador (amazing )I also ordered a Plebeyo parrillada, (Baby chicken-Lamb) perfectly cooked, juicy and really tasty it was delicious, I was really surprised that instead of the pork they put fried -mushrooms ? Strange having mushrooms in the parrillada I'm still wondering myself why I did not ask perhaps I was so excited with the "pilseners" any way I enjoyed, prices were quite decent

¡Maravilloso! We live just up the road and this is our first time visiting here and man what have we been missing! Flavours are amazing, my wife who doesn't like experimenting really loved the food here. The staff is brilliant, I went with all their recommendations and they were all fantastic. Chef Jorge has truly done a great job with the menu. Definitely coming back.

Lucky enough to have an Ecuadorian mother in law that brings food to life. Unfortunately she's in Miami and my husband and I are in London. El Inca Plebeyo is BEST ECUADORIAN RESTAURANT ever- this includes Miami, NYC and London combined. Service is excellent.

Stay away or be prepared to spend at least £25 on your meal. I had dinner with my girl friend at this restaurant last night and the place was super overpriced and pretentious - nothing really close to other Latin American restaurants in London. The portions were very small and the waiters kept asking us to order more dishes because they knew how small the mains were. I am South American and I have been to many other Latin American restaurants in London, but trust me, the Inca Plabeyo was very disappointing. Instead try some Colombian restaurants in Elephant and Castle, they are more authentic, less pretentions, massive portions and there is a real Latino vive.
