Here are some reviews Machu Picchu Restaurant has received in the past year.

***

The food here is delicious!

I'd never tried Peruvian food before, so I didn't know what to expect.  First I tried the Chicha Morada, which is a drink made from purple corn, cinnamon, and clove.  It was delicious, and not at all what I expected from a corn drink.

I didn't know what to order, so the waiter helped me pick something.  I settled on the Lomo Saltado.  It's little slices of sirloin and veggies in sort sort of spices.  Even the rice that comes with it was delicious.  I'm not certain what my fiance ordered - it was some sort of chicken dish.  His was great also.    

I've seen other reviews mention poor service, but our service was great.  The waiter was really helpful and refilled our water often.  Granted, we were there on a slow night, so it might be different when it's busier.

I will definitely be trying this restaurant again and bringing friends.

Oh man, I don't know how much filet mignon they eat in Peru, but they sure know how to grill one. I had the Filet "Machu Picchu" style and it was spectacular, served with Machu Picchu potatoes and veggies. It's only $19, too, which ain't bad at all for filet.

They also bring out this green sauce with the bread that is amazing. We also tried the Ceviche Mixto, which was also delish and also a value. Huge mound of fresh seafood and delicious sauce for $14. Fried yucca--yumma!

Machu Picchu was recommended by a Peruvian co-worker. I mentioned to her that I had a craving for Peruvian food and didn't know where to go. I couldn't be happier with the recommendation! The food was delicious! My fiancee and I shared a tilapia dish and chicken dish. Both were cooked perfectly and were full of flavor. The chicken was tender and juicy. The cilantro rice was perfect! The light and tender tilapia was complimented perfectly by the tomatoes and onion. The rice pudding and Peruvian cookie were also to die for! Not only was the food excellent but the service was as well. Our server was incredibly friendly and interested in how we were enjoying our dining experience. One of the owners also came by our table to introduce himself and ask how our experience was. This is a total hidden gem!
