LAist: What’s Cookin’ Behind the Curtain – Perusing Some Peruvian – Inka Mama’s in Foothill Ranch, California

“So when I went to Inka Mama’s in Foothill Ranch this past week, I felt like I was revisiting those days in Peru, minus the thieves. Tucked in a typical Orange County strip mall between a Staples and a Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts store, Inka Mama’s doesn’t necessarily replicate an authentic Peruvian dining experience, but does possess an environment in which diners are wholly welcomed and served authentic homestyle dishes.

True to the cultural influences of Peruvian cuisine, which include the ancient Incans, Spanish conquistadors, and more recent Asian immigrants, the restaurant features a thorough menu covering chicken, beef, seafood, and vegetable dishes. Traditional preparation often employs slow-cooking methods like stewing and steaming, which produce tender cuts of meat and retain the flavor of the ingredients, and this is seen in many of the dishes.”
