Charming restaurant with great staff. Food is delicious. Drinks are a bit light on the alcohol so skip the cocktails. Will go back.

We love Peruvian food and Inka Mamas didn’t disappoint. The shrimp empanadas are amazing. We had the Ribeye Saltado and chicken saltado which were both very good. Will add Inka Mamas to our repeat list next time we’re in San Clemente.

We came in on a Tuesday night so the restaurant wasn’t too busy. Server was a super helpful young man who helped us choose our entrees. Pisco sour was amazing, Peruvian maid was also nice, very refreshing. Ceviche was a miss, a little too one note for us, but macho fish was phenomenal. Decor is also beautiful.
