Ponchos Peruvian Kitchen

We visited this restaurant after Machu Picchu and it was the perfect way to end the day. We ordered pasta with mushroom, a beef tongue with tomato sauce, a lemon soda and a cortado. The drinks and food were delicious 😋 and the service from Gionella was best of all 👏🏻. She was very polite and professional. I really appreciated her good service. Overall, we had a very fabulous dining experience in Ponchos. Perfecto! 😻

I was super surprised that food was super nice. I ate Alpaca pasta. I have never eaten such a delicious meat pasta before. Everyone must try it. And we ate ceviche as well. It was a fresh trout, seafood fried rice and calamari. It’s a little bit enough. Pls be careful if you order ceviche. And I came here again next day.

Great food, atmosphere, and staff! Gionelle was great she went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The food was so flavorful. I see why this place is a go to when p visit. Highly recommended.

We had a large group and Yubia our server was fantastic. Always had a smile and very attentive to our needs. Food was amazing - mushroom pasta. The chips with white sauce was a nice complementary touch to the table. Seating upstairs with a great view of this quaint town. Definitely recommend.

A friend of mine recommended this place to me and it was by far such a clean tasting meal! Gionella was our server and she was great with recommendations and considered where we’d like to sit for privacy! Thank youuu! Definitely 10/10 experience if you want a clean peruvian tasting meal!

I honestly didn’t expect much from restaurants in Aguas Calientes, but Poncho’s Peruvian Kitchen completely surprised me. The food here is amazing. I got the Andean ceviche and a steak plate, and both were perfect. The ceviche was sooo good that I literally sent photos to my friends back home while I was eating it. Our server, Yubia, was super helpful and made great recommendations. She wants you to have a good experience. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the presentation was beautiful. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in Peru so far. If you’re in Aguas Calientes, you have to stop here. Photos for proof!

Great atmosphere and delicious food all with excellent customer service. We ordered the Andian Ceviche and Alpaca with Pepper Sauce. The Our server, Yubia, was an absolute gem. She made sure we werr well taken care of and had such a warm energy. We didnt feel rushed by her at all which I can appreciate. The meal comes with complimentary pisco sour and potato chips. I have been on the hunt for the best hot chocolate in Peru and this place is nothing special, it is very traditional in the delivery of its hot chocolate. Alas, it is still good. The space is beautiful and relaxing. I wouldnt come back but I would recommend to future travelers or friends.

We had a wonderful evening at Ponchos Peruvian Kitchen with friends, and the experience was truly memorable. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with several standout dishes that delighted our palettes. The presentation was inviting, and the ambiance struck the perfect balance between warm and lively. The drinks were beautiful and crafted with care, adding an extra layer of joy to the evening. Service was attentive and friendly, with staff consistently going above and beyond. A special shout-out to Carmen Rosa, our waitress for the night—she was incredibly professional, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Overall, Ponchos Peruvian Kitchen is a fantastic choice in Machu Picchu for an enjoyable night out—highly recommended for great food, warm atmosphere, and engaging live entertainment. We left with full bellies and big smiles, and we’re looking forward to returning.
