Ponchos Peruvian Kitchen

We ate here twice during our stay at Aquas Calientes. Both times the food was perfect and definitely worth the price. The service is very friendly(Ana and her colleagues) and the restaurant is also beautiful and invites you to linger and observe the surroundings through its window seats. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

Amazing restaurant, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere!! 100/10 for this review. The food was really good and it was a big plate. I usually eat a lot and could not finish everything, don't be fooled by the picture, its a lot of food. The server Karla was a sweetheart and very helpful with the questions I had about different places in town. I cant recommend enough. It's #1 on tripadvisor for a reason

The grilled Octopus of this restaurant was so delicious. The waitress named Stefani was also very nice and attentive. She recommended this menu and checked if I had any allergies or not. I highly recommend to try. 😊😊😊

Yubia was a great waitress and very attentive. The portion size for the food is Texan and the taste is out of this world. Best chaufa my husband had had in Peru. Atmosphere: It was a rainy night but we sat upstairs and people watched from a seat by the window. The restaurant is cozy (2 floors) and the food selection was good.

I tried 3 or 4 restaurants here in Aguas Calientes, and this was the only one that truly impressed me. To be honest, most restaurants in this town have similar pricing, but only this place made me feel that the food and service genuinely matched the cost. Other places charged the same, yet fell far short in both quality and care. The service here was excellent and the food was genuinely delicious. I am not exaggerating. What surprised me the most was how fair and balanced everything felt. The dishes were flavorful, well prepared, and the pricing made sense for what we received. That is something you rarely find in a touristy town like this. I especially want to thank our server Nadin, who was attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. She not only confirmed our order carefully but also asked if we had any allergies. For me, this is a basic expectation in any restaurant, yet surprisingly, many places around here do not ask at all. Their attention to detail made me feel respected and genuinely cared for. During the meal, they also came to check on us, which added a warm and personal touch. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing dinner at this cozy little restaurant. Each dish was top notch and the service was great. Ines was our waiter and she made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Highly recommend this restaurant for a night in Aguas Calientes.

We visited Ponchos Food and Wine and didn’t expect the food to be this amazing. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and wonderfully prepared. We also want to give a special thank you to Yurema. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and charismatic. She helped us navigate the menu, asked about our preferences, and suggested several great options. I must say, the whole experience was made complete because of her service. We’re truly grateful — and can’t wait to come back!

This is such a delicious restaurant!! First of all, nice view of the train and then the interior is clean and modern, and make the dining experience better. The plating is beautiful, but mostly importantly the food is sooo delicious!! They heated up the plate so the food won’t get cold in this colder weather. Our server Yubia speaks good English and is very attentive. It’s a very short walk from the station, so worth to come by if you are staying in town.
