A word from El Gran Inka - Brickell

At El Gran Inka Brickell, featured dishes include ceviches with a mix of shrimp, octopus, and calamari, plus big plates like Tuna Tataki, grilled beef tenderloin (w/ jumbo shrimp and mashed yuca balls), and Pescador Al Lo Macho: a red wine sauce thickened into a salsa over calamari, octopus, and of… course, lots of bulging mussels.Continued

"As a Peruvian from Lima, evaluations on Peruvian food can be a little hard as the competition are mom's cooking and restaurants in Lima. Having said this, I think the food was pretty good for Lima standards. I had the following:-"Ceviche platter": Has 3 different forms of ceviche, plain, with yellow pepper and with rocoto pepper. Very good. -Pisco sour: It was just OK. Non-Peruvians will probably like it quite a bit. -Lucuma tu ma: VERY good cocktail based on lucuma, a fruit from Peru. -Suspiro limeno: Good. Would have been very good if the merengue would have been softer."

"Made reservations on Valentines day. Valet parking was available aroudn the corner for $5.

Place was nicely decorated for Valentines. Each table had a red balloon and live music entertainment was provided. Beauutiful restaurant and great looking bar.

Stuffed yuquitas for an appetizer were pretty good. The lomo saltado was delicious! Finally tried a Pisco Sour which was pretty good as well.

Overall I enjoyed the dinner. Service was a tad slow but expected on this date."

"Unfortunately El Gran Inka in Brickell was a bit of a let down. The decor is very nice and well put together and the staff is patient and attentive. Now as far as the food goes, not good. I ordered anticuchos and a ceviche "sampler". That was good. I then ordered Lomo gran inka, which was not good at all. Everyone at my table was genuinely unsatisfied with their food. I was embarrassed cause I had family from Peru with me at the time. I've gone to other places where the prices are less than half and have been served tasty traditional Peruvian cuisine at a better quality. The only thing I can honestly say I'd go back for is their 'Pisco Sour', but ONLY the traditional pisco sour, the other are in no way a pisco cocktail."

"For the evening my original itinerary was Sushi, but that Sushi bar would not pass anybody's Food Inspection. So, I walked a few doors down to find El Gran Inka - Brickell (aka INKA). I decided to take a chance considering; I was quite familiar with Peruvian Cuisine.

INKA did not disappoint awesome food and superb ambiance. I had the Mild Yellow-Peruvian Chili Chicken Stew (which was recommended by the host), excellent suggestion. A must have when you dine here scrumptious to say the least."
