Machu Picchu

Beautiful place, very pleasant environment, and service was excellent.Food however was fairly so-so and yes, a bit overpriced for what you're getting. I think they really sell you on the ambience though, so that's what you're really getting and paying for here. The steak was pretty good, nothing great. My friend's "Yucca fries" actually turned out to be potatoes (or the most potato-like yucca ever), and my sweet plantains were weirdly bland and tasteless, inferior to the sweet plantains you get at Brazilian places even though they look exactly alike. Tried the Peruvian "Pilsen" beer, which was pretty decent (a bit better than the usual Bud/Heineken lager) though a bit on the small side for seven bucks. It was a pleasant visit but I doubt we'll be back though I'm curious about their ceviche. All in all, 3.5 stars

Recently ordered takeout from here with a Peruvian friend. It was so good that I ordered it again the following night with my BF. Both times, the food was yummy!!! Food: I got the yuquitos, leche de tigre, chaufa, mazamorra morado, and pisco flan. The leche de tigre, chaufa, and pisco flan were amazing!!! 5/5!!! Definitely get the "green sauce" with the chaufa. Makes a world of difference. The yuquitos and mazamorra morado were a little disappointing, so I wouldn't recommend those. Portion sizes of things, except for the yuquitos, are good. However, 4/5 stars for the price. I definitely think that the food here is $3-5 too much. $20 for chaufa and $10 for 6 yucca fries?! Crazy and wayyyyy overpriced!!!Service: Got takeout, so I can't truly comment. I definitely want to eat in the restaurant sometime, so I'll have to reassess. That being said, order the food and getting it delivered or picking it up was super fast! Ambiance: Again ... need to experience this in person, but it looked like it was very cute inside.All and all, this place is worth trying and yummy. Definitely need to try the service here and more entrees. Just wish it wasn't so overpriced.

Peruvian restaurant nestled right in the middle of Union Square off of Bow Market. We came as a party of two on an early Saturday evening and were able to find a seat quickly. We had actually just from a Miami trip about a month prior and were in the mood for some ceviche, which this restaurant was the only one closest to us they offered. We got the ceviche, which was fresh and well marinated but only offered one type of fish in their plate. It was good but lacking depth.We also got their seafood fried rice, which was also tasty, but had very strong Asian fusion vibes - just an observation. For the price point, not worth.The last dish we also ordered was a steak and rice that came with fries - again, delicious but nothing too special. Portion was small for the priceTldr; pretty good ceviche, but it is pricey. I wouldn't come here unless you're REALLT craving Peruvian.

Had lunch here with a friend and everything was delicious. We got the ceviche (with a white fish) and lomo saltado and I have no complaints at all. The ceviche was especially good, with the perfect amount of zest and serving sizes were generous. Would come again.

I've heard great things about this spot so I knew it was time to visit! It was empty on a tuesday evening which I do prefer however I feel like I missed the atmosphere it has on a friday or saturday evening. The decor was pretty simple and didn't stand out to me which is fine because it's about the food. We decided to try the anticuchos which is basically a beef heart skewer but not on the single stick and was $18 and it wasn't that great. But, the cocktail was so delicious I don't see many cocktails using chambord so I decided to treat myself. It truly was a sugar rush in the best way.Now to the star- the tallarin verde steak... I had gotten it because it had stood out to me on yelp photos but I wasn't sure if pasta was the way to go at a Peruvian spot. I have not gone to a Peruvian restaurant in so long if ever, so I was on the fence. However, I ended up trying it and the pasta was so freaking GOOD, perfectly seasoned and just enough cheese. If I am being honest, better than the north end pastas I've tried lol. Nobody come for me please ...... and the steak was tender and juicy. I felt like a dog that was salivating over the meat. Apps here are extremely overpriced so I would skip and go for the entree items which are good size and get some drinks while you are at it. They have a lot of nice non-alcoholic drinks as well. Despite some disappointments the food and drinks came out in my book as worth coming again and next time I'll be smart about it.Price $$$Food 9Atmosphere 5Service 7Tallarin Verde SteakPink llama cocktailAnticuchos

My friend suggested we go to Machu Picchu while I was in town and I'm super glad she did! We shared a few dishes and each one was amazing - my favorite was the octopus, though our lomo soltado and ceviche were both great too. My pisco sour was perfect - I'd been craving one since a recent trip to Cusco. The service was great and I highly recommend checking this place out.

Accessible location, large dining room and smaller intimate spaces, and a full bar stretching the back of the restaurant. Quick, no fuss seating, inside or out on a crisp Saturday night. Staff was very friendly, had great recommendations. Food was served quickly and pipping hot. The seafood rice was flavorful with plenty of fresh seafood. The chicken fried rice was a tad salty. Which I hadn't finished it all before the server returns, I would have asked for some honey to calm the saltiness. Overall delicious meal.

Delicious!!! Try the purple corn drink, it was honestly fantastic. The staff was very attentive and kind, and the ambiance was also fantastic. A very local, wholesome spot in Somerville.

Great food as always and the portions are good imo. Everything from the empanada, to the steak, to the infamous green sauce came out great and it's such a family friendly place. I took off a star because the service was a little delayed, the staff takes a bit to come around, but overall I recommend and will go back.

This is a Peruvian gem in Somerville near union square. I was here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We did not have reservations but there was ample space inside. We got a variety of dishes, Choclo and octopus to start. I have never had Peruvian food and let me tell you .. everything that came on the table was delicious! We also got Peruvian tea which came in a super cute kettle. For our mains we got a Ceviche with haddock. The serving sizes are very large and the service itself is phenomenal. Highly recommend to try this place out!
