If you’ve bought into the Latin American food fashion in London (who hasn’t?), this Essex Road spot has everything you could ask for. You’re greeted by friendly staff decked out in folk Latin costumes, and drink choices (from Pisco Sours to Margaritas, via beer and wine) are in abundance. The menu, specialising in Ecuadorean fare, includes ceviche of sea bream with lemon juice, tamarillo and yellow chilli, and tuna tiradito (ceviche’s cousin, with sauce), with an array of grilled meats and slow-cooked dishes (such as 18-hour cooked pork belly with sweet potato purée and tamarind sauce) to follow. There’s an interesting take on rice pudding using quinoa for dessert if diners get that far.
Does El Inca Plebeyo offer gluten-free options?
Yes, we do offer gluten-free options! In fact, almost our entire menu is designed to be gluten-free. Only two dishes —the croquettes and the risotto— contain gluten, and they’re clearly marked with an asterisk. We want everyone to enjoy our Ecuadorian fusion flavors with peace of mind.
What is the menu like at El Inca Plebeyo?
Our menu is designed for sharing — so you can try a variety of dishes. We serve Ecuadorian cuisine with a modern, creative twist, fusing traditional flavors with contemporary techniques. Ceviche is one of our specialties, and we focus on healthy, allergen-conscious options so that more people can enjoy more of the menu. Our goal is to honor Ecuador’s roots while reimagining them in exciting, unexpected ways. That’s what makes us unique.
What is the ambience at El Inca Plebeyo?

Expect Latin music, colorful plates, and good vibes all around. It’s the kind of place where you come to relax, share, and enjoy a truly unique modern Ecuadorian experience

Like many young children, chef Jorge Pacheco was ushered out of the kitchen when his mother was cooking. But when he moved from Ecuador to Europe in 2000, he rediscovered a passion for cooking. After training in several of Europe’s top kitchens, including Gordon Ramsay’s Michelin-starred The Maze, as well as The Savoy Grill, Sessions Arts Club, and Coya, he opened El Inca Plebeyo in 2015. Founded on a desire to reconnect with and share the breadth and vibrancy of indigenous, traditional and modern Ecuadorian dining, El Inca has been shortlisted for prestigious UK awards and earned Pacheco various accolades.
