The Freakin Incan

Very good Peruvian food!!! Small restaurant, but no matter. If rank it the best Peruvian food in the Atlanta area… I’ve tried’em all!

The food is outstanding, fresh with great flavors. I had the shredded chicken and my husband had the lomo saltado. I love it and would highly recommend it!

I’m Peruvian and this is the real deal.
This place is as close to what I find back home.
Try the fish ceviche to understand what real ceviche should taste like. You’ll understand once you try it.
If you’re adventurous try the Anticuchos.
Finish up with the Alfajor dessert and you’ll be back.

Yeah! I’m a HUGE fan of authentic Peruvian food. I used to spend way too much time at my friend’s house just to get some of her mom’s homemade ceviche. The Freakin Incan took me back to those times! The place IS very small and feels more like a step up from a Latin cafeteria but it only helps its charm. My husband and I came to lunch here. We ordered a Papa a la Huancaina to share and he ordered Aji de Gallina and I ordered a seafood ceviche. I hadn’t had ceviche in a while mostly because any other restaurant would be pricey and the amounts would be outrageously small. Not in this case! Moderately priced at $ 13 and giving me a hefty portion of white fish and shrimp, along with 3 slices of sweet potatoes plus all the corn on the side! It was delicious!!!
My husband’s Aji de Gallina while according to him was slightly cold (hence the 4 star rating), the rice was warm and evened it out plus the taste, according to him, was great! That dish was also very reasonably priced and the portion was a good meal without going overboard.
All in all we paid about $ 30 plus tip and we thought it was well worth it for the quality and portions. I can’t WAIT to go back!

Good quality, fresh ingredients, good service, lacking a bit on taste for a Peruvian restaurant. We might try other dishes later. We would see if we get the wow factor of our Peruvian cuisine.

I saw the Freakin Incan food truck while at the Taste of Marietta and tried one of their Empanadas. This was by far the best Empanada I ever had and I have eaten a lot of them. I’ll definitely have to check out their other items.

Really enjoyed all the dishes we tried. Be prepared to wait, as it’s very popular & crowded. Really cure interior. Can’t wait to return to try more dishes!

Really enjoyed the food! Just announce salt and sauce on food. Service was great and fast. Family friendly.

As a fellow Peruvian, I can say this is probably the best Peruvian food you will find in Atlanta. The place is small so you might have to wait but it is totally worth it. The service is great and the food is to die for.
We had the ceviche con camaron, papa rellena, papa a la huancaina, and chicharron. It was all on point and very reasonably priced.

Great food. Simple atmosphere but you feel like you are outside a food truck. Simple menu and very authentic. Wonderful blend of spices. Tucked into a quiet shopping center next to LA Fitness off hwy 92. Not very crowded but you know it’s authentic when most customers are Peruvian and surrounding.

Brought my Peruvian friend to eat here. Food was excellent! I had the Lomo Saltado with fried sweet potatoes and rice, side of choclo and we all shared Mazamorra dessert. If my Peruvian friend enjoyed it must be good Peruvian food!

Fabulous and funny. Excellent food, prepared fresh and served quickly. The biggest surprise was how excellent the Yuca was, never had this fresh yuca outside South America.
I’ll be back.

Never had Peruvian food before. I’m inclined to try places with at least 4.5 stars and glad I did. FYI, it’s very much like Cuban food. This place is unassuming, but don’t let it deter you. Mikiel and his staff are nice and give excellent suggestions. I particularly loved their empanadas. Great bang for the buck. Absolutely worth a try

Just ate here to try this place out again and I have to say they have completely changed and improved and would highly recommended people to come back to this place (if they had a bad experience) or to try this place out. The atmospheres filled with great music and people. It was a bit busy today guessing because it’s a Saturday (⁹⁄₂₄) but it was no problem. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly as they checked on us making sure we were doing okay. As for the plates the Lomo Saltado and Ceviche both got maybe 2x or 3x the size which makes it very worth the price and the tastes have greatly improved! I will surely come back to this place and would recommend people to go :)

Definitely the best Peruvian joint I’ve come across in the Atlanta area. The décor is awesome — made to look as though the kitchen window is a food truck.
The menu had most of the Peruvian staples: ceviche (which I didn’t get to try this time around), grilled beef heart which was the most expertly cooked piece of beef heart I’ve ever eaten, and yucca fries with three sauces (a cilantro garlic sauce, an aji amarillo mayo, and another sauce which had roasted pepper).
My dining companion said that his Arroz con Pollo was stellar. I ordered the Arroz Tapado, which was heady with cinnamon.
The chicha morada was also really good, with a hint of clove.
The only thing that disappointed me was that the place wasn’t busier. Seriously. Eat here, people.

I’ve been wanting to check this place out for some time now. Glad I finally got a chance to try it out. We read a lot of reviews and checked out pictures before coming. There seemed to be an overlapping consensus to try the Lomo Saltado. So we ordered one of those plus a Pollo Saltado. As I expected from the pictures, it wasn’t a lot of food for the price paid — $ 13 for Lomo and $ 10 for Pollo Saltado. It seemed more like food cart portions, so I think it is slightly overpriced in that regards. Regardless, the food itself was very flavorful, and I really enjoyed the beef dish. I did notice that there was a disproportionate amount of rice to meat however. And it did come with some fries on the side.
It is a really cute interior, albeit a bit small and not a lot of seating. They decorated the order window to look like a food truck, which they did a really good job of. It was an enjoyable meal. If they could lower their price just a tad, or offer more food, I would be more inclined to return.

A great place to go for some delicious Peruvian street food!
We ordered the yucca frita, lomo saltado, and ceviche de pescado. Everything was delicious, we were very impressed. The yucca frita was fried to perfection, and the sauces it came with were so good, SO GOOD. The steak in the lomo saltado was delicious and juicy, and we ate the entire thing. The fish ceviche was fantastic, fresh and delicious.
All the plates we ordered were the large sizes, and splitting between two people was perfect!
While its not the Costa Verde (on buford hwy) its a great Peruvian spot OTP, with delicious fresh food, we will definitely be going back :)

This place blew my mind, we went here on a whim finding it on Unilocal as my boyfriend is from Peru and was craving ceviche.
We found that this place is owned by a young man, Mike who is very passionate about food and amazing at cooking it.
It’s only been open for about four months and is in a little strip mall that’s kind of hard to find but well worth the time. The décor is like the name fun, upbeat and urban. They also have a food truck although I’m not sure where they usually park it.
There’s only a few tables inside and they seem to be pretty busy so I definitely suggest calling ahead or getting something to go but passing up food here would be your biggest mistake ever!
Our food was super fresh and well seasoned, full of flavor, beautifully presented and at a cost that can’t be beat!

There has been a Freakin Incan food truck parked outside the LA Fitness West Roswell location now for quite some time that I was always curious about. Recently, the Freakin Incan food truck opened a small restaurant in this strip mall anchored by the LA Fitness. I gave it a try the other day and ordered a take out dinner.
The restaurant has an interesting set up, with the kitchen behind a wall painted up to look like a food truck, and with a «window» opening into the kitchen so patrons can see what’s going on there. The restaurant is small, with about 10 tables.
The menu has some interesting items, and I’ve never had Peruvian food, which is why I was curious about this place.
I ordered Pollo Saltado, which seems to be like a stir fry chicken dish cooked with tomatoes, peppers and onions. It was tasty but a little too much on the salty side for my tastes. The white rice it came with was a nice contrast and went well with the chicken. It also came with fries, that seemed like a little unusual combination, but it worked for me.
All in all, I enjoyed the meal and would like to come back to try more of their menu items. It’s nice to have a restaurant serving something a little out of the ordinary in this neighborhood.

My hubby and I had lunch at The Freakin Incan this week and we can’t wait to go back!!! We tried their Chicken Tamal, Aji de Gallina, and Lomito Saltado (probably the best I’ve EVER had)…I’m Peruvian and I usually make these dishes at home, but instead I think that we’ll be visiting this great little restaurant more often from now on!
My husband is American and is in LOVE with Peruvian cuisine, we’re looking forward to Anticuchos and Picarones (hint to Michael, the friendly owner). The place is super clean, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are much generous; there was «no room» for dessert after our feast, so we brought some Alfajores home… yum!
