At El Inka, they do have some dishes from other Central and South American countries, but the Peruvian food really shines.

many drinks that you can chose from.

The restaurant is brightly painted with a few small tables for dine-in service, but there’s obviously a good take-out clientele what with the sandwich menu and cold case (hence the “deli”). 

 It got quite busy at a point during the evening – not bad for a neighbourhood restaurant.

 The Good:
- Authentic Latin food
- Honest, sincere service
- Something a little bit different

The Bad:
- Prices are a bit on the higher side (roughly ~$18.00 per dish)

The ingredients were interesting: peanuts, dried potatoes, yellow chili paste -- and the food in general was a refreshing change from what I'm used to.

we realized had pages presented in different order from each other – this made things a little confusing. 

It's not a fancy place, but the friendliness of the owners make it feel comfortable.

Best deli and cafe bistro in Burnaby.

Delicious home made flavourful meals and a very happy and smiling owner/daughter combo.

Delightful people.

The  dish was the winner of the night. Jalea Mixta, a mixture of lightly breaded and fried calamari, fish, and other seafood topped with the house / red onion pickle and tomatoes, served with lime wedges and deep fried cassava. From what I had, it was enough for me to plan to come back.

 The fish and seafood was done *just right*. and the pickle added a nice tang and moisture to the dish.$16.99
