We were looking for dinner while in Machu Picchu. We stumbled upon Ponchos, and were very glad we did. The food was incredible. Service was friendly and they have some authentic Peruvian dishes that are amazing. I had the Sudado de Pescado. The best meal I have had while here in Peru, (and this includes Lima). I highly recommend Ponchos!!

Amazing food and service!

A lot of options for local food. We had the ceviche, corn with cheese, stuffed potato and grilled trout. The homemade sodas were delicious. We had passion fruit and ginger. Karen was an excellent server.

The food is delicious
