"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."
