High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Inca Paisa appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2024. The most recent visit was on Apr 25, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to four violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
