"One of Atlanta’s original Peruvian restaurants, Machu Picchu on Buford Highway gave folks a scare a few years back when it closed at Northeast Plaza. Now located one mile south at the Sun Tan Plaza in Brookhaven, the restaurant is once again serving Peruvian ceviches, hearty plates of lomo saltado, and other traditional dishes, including tallarines a la huancaina con bistec (linguine and grilled steak tossed in huancaina sauce), arroz con pollo, and carapulcra (Peruvian pork and potato stew). Order mazamorra morada for dessert, a pudding made from Peruvian purple corn and a combination of pureed fruits, like apples, pineapples, and cherries. It’s served warm." - Beth McKibben
