Gran Machu Picchu

Friday early evening, Restaurant about half full at 6:30pm. Immediately sat, very quick service and our server was very pleasant. Had three plates the two of us split: ceviche de pescado, papa's a la Huancaina and Lomita Saltado. I lived in Perú for eight years so can truly appreciate Peruvian cuisine. Only slightly negative, restaurant was very chilly and hot dishes got cold too quickly (lomito Saltado needs to be eaten hot). The hot sauce was not Peruvian but Mexican. Would rather had an ají than Mexican salsa just for its original flavor. Tim

Great food, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. We went on a Friday night and service was great. Highly recommend the Lomo Saltado (seasoned grilled steak and veggies...be sure to add a side of plantains!) also recommend the Papa a la Huancaina. The green salsa served as a side to the entrees is pretty spicy but so good!

So disappointed with everything I ordered, the anticuchos were supposedly made of "beef" but they taste like liver. The arroz con marisco had no flavor and the calamari was uncooked, not seasoning what so ever! The salchipapas look and taste sad with out the pink sauce. The soups were ok, but not delicious. The leche de tigre was ok, too. I love Peruvian food, but This place destroys the culinary of PERU 👎🏽

Food tasted excellent. Had the cabrito and it was excellent. Portion size of the meat was less than expected, more rice and beans than anything. Dessert was unbelievably good and the service was great. Little difficult to hear due to the echo in the room. Two lunches and a dessert with tea was $40 something.

Pros: tasty food. Cons: slow service, they never refill your drink, horrible administration. It is really disappointing that a place with decent food could have such a terrible customer service. I visited this restaurant 3 times before writing this review. And each and every time the server has been young and inexperienced, but really nice. However the owner has always been there bossing them around, unnecessarily. To the point that makes you feel uncomfortable. She never approaches guests' tables to check on how is the service or the food. She is just there staring, and with a distasteful attitude. In regards to the food, the yellow spicy sauce is really good, the ceviche is also very good. Seafood in general is very decent, the rice is hit and miss, and the yuca has ALWAYS been cold and hard. We ordered chicharrones once, and we received some kind of short ribs. It was tasty, but it was not crunchy, crispy nor it can be called chicharrón.

The food is good. I recommend the ceviche and the Pollo a la Brasa. Unfortunately, the service isn't good. My family and I used to go almost every weekend therefore most of the staff knows us. We've had our differences with the lady owner but she got unbelievably rude three weeks ago. This time was different because my husband planned a special day with family for my birthday. He took a birthday cake, balloons and presents. The owner didn't ever bother to approach the table and say hello or congratulations. The waitress who was attending our table didn't have manners when she asked us what we were going to order. Never came back to refill our glasses. When we finish our meal and my family sang happy birthday nobody offer to bring extra forks or plates. When my sister went to ask for spoons for the cake the owner lady said I cannot give silverapoons only plastic ones with an attitude in her voice and face. It felt like we were begging for this stuff. We were a small party of four. Why not have a special attention to a regular customer? If this was my business I will at least have the courtesy to check what else the customer needs and even more on a special occasion. I just hope the owner understands that it is not just about counting numbers and sitting on a desk what makes a business successful. Unfortunately, what should've been a nice day to remember will be eclipsed by the owner's attitude. On my part I won't be going to this place anymore, neither my family, and far from me to recommend this restaurant ever again to my friends.
