Inca BBQ’s hot stone alpaca earns Mark Wiens’ praise for its tender, smoky flavor, while the overall vibe is a warm, hands-on culinary adventure.
“This alpaca is cooked on hot stones for exactly one hour. The aroma is incredible — it has healing properties. I got a bone-in chunk here, and the meat is tender and smoky from the stone scorch. I take a bite with the sweet potato, and it's just perfect.”
