"My food tasted very, very mid... Actually, make that slightly better than mid . Before I dive into my statement above, the one positive from my experience dining there, the service was good. Our server managed to keep our party of 10 or so people together, they were able to accommodate the various substitutions several people in my party had, they were able to successfully manage a wrong order, and they would frequently go around, ask us how we were doing, and fill our waters. No complaints there, the staff were wonderful. They 're the reason why I 'm not rating my review lower than 3 stars. With that being said, I ordered a Bacon Chipotle Chicken sandwich. I like my food with bold flavors, and so that specific sandwich appealed to me since chipotle is a pretty strong and bold flavor already. When I got the sandwich, I took a bite out of it, and the first taste that hit me was the nuttiness of the whole wheat buns. Took another bite out of it, I got just a little bit of the pepperiness and savoriness from the bacon. Took a 3rd bite out of it, same flavor profile as my first two bites. Took a 4th bite out of it, I get absolutely nothing else. The sandwich was so bland, the bread was the most flavorful thing on that sandwich. In addition, the chicken patty, on top of being a bit overcooked and rubbery, had absolutely zero seasoning. I tasted absolutely no chipotle seasoning or sauce on that chicken, not even black pepper. I had to douse the chicken in hot sauce (tapatío, if I remember correctly) just to taste something other the taste of wheat bread. This was not a chipotle chicken sandwich, it was more like a tapatío and bread sandwich. At a price point of almost $17, I 'm pretty sure I can make a much more flavorful bacon chipotle chicken sandwich at home for a fraction of that price. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. I seem to get the impression reading these reviews that the breakfast items tend to be a bit better, so maybe I should come back and try something else. At the same time, especially after eating something so bland, I don 't think I have much of an excuse to do so."

"The food at this restaurant was incredibly salty! I was here with some friends for a nice event and we all had a great time catching up. Everyone had raved about the food here before, so I was excited to try it. I asked for my dish to be lightly salted and ordered a ceviche and a house salad with dressing on the side. The ceviche was extremely salty and had hard pieces of hominy scattered throughout, as well as Inka maize that was waterlogged from the liquid in the ceviche. It was an odd and inedible combination of flavors. The ingredients had no taste except for the overwhelming salt. There was even a clump of salt in one bite of the ceviche. I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth from the overpowering salt. The salad was made with iceberg lettuce (which was wilted) and the cilantro dressing was also ridiculously salty. Why drown everything in salt? Good food doesn't need to be so heavily seasoned. The plantains were cut into huge chunks instead of thin slices, which meant they lacked the rich, sweet taste that you get with smaller pieces. They also weren't as crispy on the outside as they could have been. Overall, our enjoyable event was ruined by the poor quality of the food. With such a beautiful restaurant setting, I had hoped for at least decent food. I hope that Pollo Inka works to improve their dishes in the future."
