Inca’s Peruvian catered a birthday party for 30 people in our home in Feb 2024. This was the second time we used their catering service. The food and service were outstanding and the cost seemed reasonable. We enthusiastically give Inca’s a 5-star recommendation.
The first helpers arrived with the appetizers just before our guests arrived. After placing bowls of Peruvian roasted corn nuts around the room for the first arrivals to enjoy, they set the table with a beautiful display of Causa Rellena, yellow potato cakes stuffed with veggies, and Yuquitas, slices of fried yucca root, accompanied by dipping sauces, all in pretty pottery dishes. Both of these delicious vegetarian and gluten-free appetizers drew raves from our guests.
About 30 minutes later, the second team, including amiable restaurant owner Fatima Campos, arrived with hot entrées: Arroz con Mariscos, the Peruvian version of paella, red rice mixed with peppers, tomatoes, and generous amounts of shrimp, mussels, calamari and other seafood (also gluten-free), and Ají de Gallina, strands of pulled chicken breast served over sliced boiled potatoes in a lemony garlic sauce, with jasmine rice on the side. Inca’s team stayed through dessert (we made flan and chocolate birthday cake), though they helped set it up and serve it. We hadn’t anticipated that they would do that or that they would circulate and help pick up used plates and glasses but they did. Before they left, they straightened up the kitchen and left us beautifully packaged leftovers.
