Cuzco Peruvian Cuisine

Unfortunately this was the most disappointing meal I’ve had in a while. The service was super slow, with 2 waiters but we saw 1 mostly taking care of the whole restaurant. There was also a language barrier, we ordered fries (I even said papa fritas in Spanish) with our steak which I requested medium…and got rice instead with a well done steak. The steak was super salty, DRY, and the side salad was plain with no dressing. I only ate it because I was hungry and we had been in the restaurant for about an hour already. The yucca frita we ordered came after our meal, and they charged $6-$7 for literally 6 pieces. Additionally our water never came out until we had to ask for it again, and we never got another cold mug for our beer. On top of that, please double check your receipt because there’s an automatic 15% gratuity and a card processing fee. They will try to trick you into tipping twice! I wanted to like this place because the atmosphere is cute and they had good reviews…but it was a very disappointing experience.

Came to Atlanta from South Carolina and was looking for a Peruvian restaurant close to where I was staying. The place was very cozy, the person who took my order, Ingrid, was great, very courteous and very attentive. I ordered anticuchos for appetizer, the meat was tender, cooked about right and very well seasoned, it was accompanied by Peruvian corn and Papa a la Huancaina (Peruvian cheese sauce) just the right amount sauce and spicy level. For entree I ordered Arroz Chaufa de la casa (house fried rice) that came with steak, chicken, and shrimp, the meat portions were really good, and overall it had a really good flavor. I strongly recommend Cuzco Peruvian restaurant as a must place to go for Peruvian food and definitely will go back next time I am in the Atlanta area.

Awesome food, it is great to have a local Peruvian place that is actually operated by Peruvians and real Peruvian chefs. Ingrid was very pleasant, and I enjoyed the ambience. Like if I was really in Peru!

The restaurant was beautifully decorated it was clean. The service was amazing our waitress name was Ingrid and she was very nice and attentive. Their menu has so many options of delicious Peruvian food. New restaurant not the previous one that was there before. The cooks are Peruvian and everything is made fresh and in house. From their food to their desserts. I can’t wait to go back and taste the other amazing dishes. I had the lomo saltado a lo rico and also the anticuchos especiales. And for dessert we had the picarones fresh and delicious. Everything was delicious and the portions were big and the food came out quick. Definitely a must try if you loved Peruvian food check this new restaurant out. As a Peruvian myself I give this place 10/10

drove from memphis, tennessee! this exceeded all my expectations, the environment is great. i loved my waitress Ingrid, she made my family feel super welcomed! she made sure our needs were met. the food was amazing!! tasted just like perú. all the flavors were great, food presentation was also great! drinks were good. felt like i was in perú again 🇵🇪!! (i ordered a “Trio Marino” along with “Chicha Morada” drink !! very tasty

Great food, consistently delicious. Chicken milanesa is my favorite, crispy breaded chicken breast fried to perfection, excellent flavor and texture. The mixto ceviche is full of seafood, great flavors. Service can be slow and spotty at times, but always friendly. The restaurant has a homey feel and is clean.

The pollo saltado was solid but not the best I’ve had. I wish there was more of the sauce and some plantains with it. The service was pretty good (my server was Ingrid) and the atmosphere was fun. Be prepared for very loud live music though. At least it was on Friday night. It was a bit jarring when walking inside because of the volume but you get used to it and it felt truly authentic Peruvian. 🇵🇪 One thing to watch though: When paying your bill they do not tell you that 15% gratuity is built in and so I ended up paying a 33% tip (including an additional 18%). That seemed a little disingenuous. Our server was kind but her English wasn’t the best—which is fine—but it definitely caused some confusion with the bill. Parking can be tricky. The lot was packed and the places out front are tough to navigate (tight spaces).

Great food! Service was outstanding, Jordy was very attentive. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy Peruvian cuisine.

We've been to Cuzco on several occasions and had a wonderful experience each time. The wait staff was incredibly helpful, warm, and knowledgeable about the menu. The pictures and decor brought so much culture to the space----we felt like we walked right into the city of Cuzco! The food was delicious --- we particularly enjoyed the calamari, the ceviche, the fresh juices, the lomo saltado, with lots of vegetarian options. We can't wait to come back!

This evening we stopped by Cuzco for dinner. It is a small place on Buford Highway with bright tablecloths and a cheery dining room. The staff are polite and happy to answer questions. I has the lomo saltado and it was very good but very filling. I was hoping to try one of the desserts but simply had no room!

I loved our welcoming to the restaurant by our waiter JORDY! He was very nice and helpful. Our food was very delicious from our appetizers to our dinner plates which were what was expected. We actually travelled 2 hours from Columbus to Atlanta just to eat a delicious Peruvian cuisine since we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. What made it even more special was how they made my daughter feel so happy with her being sang Happy Birthday and given a birthday slice of cake with a candle. The ambience was very nice and family Oriented and they're friendly. We were even taken a picture with the alpacas in the Photo Booth decor. I would definitely plan to go there again soon and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Peruvian food!

The restaurant has definitely been upgraded since the last time I visited. Some of the decor has changed, it's a step in the right direction though the drop-down ceilings still make it feel a bit unfinished. You can tell they're working on it. The food was genuinely good. It was flavorful, well-prepared, and nicely presented. It felt like care went into both the taste and the plating. The service was solid too. Our server was friendly, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. The chicha and the fresh juices were a highlight, refreshing and delicious! Just a heads-up: avoid using the QR code to pay. It wasn't working properly, so you're better off paying at the register with a card or cash.

Cusco was amazing. Very well decorated and the food was delicious. The anticuchos totally transported me back to Peru as a child. Ceviche was so refreshing. Everything, everything was good and Jesus, our waiter, was very knowledgeable and charismatic!

Was excited to come & support since in my part of town there are no Latin American restaurant options (other than Mexican). Took the family on a 1hr drive. It is a family friendly restaurant with an extensive menu and pretty good price point. (Ample free parking by the way). Was seated right away. It took a few moments for menus but it seems there is just 1 server who is taking orders clearing tables and bringing out food so bring some patience with you. Being Peruvian I am particular about the cut of meat used in my lomo saltado & I was happy they had chosen a premium tender not chewy meat. All were happy with there choices and no food was left behind. We were excited to order dessert- picarones however they ran out of it & tried for the maracuya cheesecake and they were out of that as well. Overall I would return and give it another try!!

Food was okay. I ordered a ceviche and my husband ordered the lomo saltado. We ordered at 2:00 and my ceviche didn't come out until 3:10. As if you even had to cook a ceviche. My husband got tired of waiting and ended up telling the waiter to cancel the order. The waiter didn't even apologize for the delay. My father and my grandmother have still not received their food and it is currently 3:30. Probably won't be coming back. Very unfortunate because I love supporting Peruvian restaurants. After my father complained a few times they finally apologized and brought us a papa a la huancaina for free and my husband's food for free too. Glad they ended up taking responsibility. Update: they gave us chocoflan after we paid and apologized again. I added a star. Maybe I will come back.

The service and food were amazing!!!! If you're looking for a wonderful international food adventure this is the place!

I had a great lunch! Very friendly service, lady owner came to our table. All the food was delicious and tasted homemade! The music was great!

Excellent.. muy buena la comida el servicio muy bueno y los precios son razonables ..

Peruvian food is one of my favorites and I was very impressed with the Ceviche and Yucca that's what we had for lunch and it was delicious and the service was great too. I will be trying dinner there soon.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Cuzco's Peruvian Cuisine was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had, and frankly, it's astonishing that this place is still in business. Let's start with the basics: the food. I ordered a simple, traditional Peruvian dish expecting something warm, flavorful, and authentic. Instead, what I received was cold, undercooked, and not even the dish I ordered. When I pointed out the mistake, I was met with eye rolls and passive shrugs from the staff instead of an apology or a solution. No urgency. No care. No accountability. The customer service? Atrocious. Our server vanished for most of the meal, and when we finally flagged someone down, they acted like we were the inconvenience. No one checked on our table. No one offered to fix the mistake. Not a single apology for the cold food or the botched order. The attitude from the staff made the experience feel more like a punishment than a meal. And this isn't an isolated incident. Friends of mine have also complained about long wait times, incorrect orders, and even finding hair in their food. It's clear this restaurant has absolutely no standards when it comes to quality or service. Between the inedible food, the rude and inattentive staff, and the overall lack of professionalism, this place is a disaster. If management doesn't completely overhaul how this restaurant is run, it won't be long before word of mouth shuts it down entirely. Save your time, your money, and your sanity--do not eat here.

Food was bland. No flavor. Ordered the diced chicken and rice. Literally nothing was seasoned well. Paid for it ($25) took two bites and threw my food away. Not sure who used to own this location but their food was better.

I was able to visit Cuzco for the first time this week and was fully immersed into the beautifully curated experience. The decor is a nod to the restaurant's roots, with delightful notes of gold and landscapes of Peru. The service was welcoming and warmly patient explaining the diverse menu items, accommodating those of us who could eat the whole menu and even my friend who was vegetarian. Now, the food. I haven't stopped thinking about the ceviche starter with the most luxurious light sauce that brightened the fresh seafood and never paused being passed around the table for all to enjoy. There were immediate smiles on everyone's face in anticipation for the following dishes after this standard had been set. The Peruvian Pilsner was a perfect summer beverage served in an ice cold mug, a necessary addition on a hot summer day. The rice dishes were full of flavor and the meats all came out perfectly cooked. I enjoyed the most luxurious seafood soup, stuffed to the brim with calamari/shrimp/fish/mussels and a full crab! The broth was light and seasoned in a way that felt familiar but unique. We finished the meal with the Picarones, which were all the right amounts of sweet, savory and perfectly fried. Cuzco was my first experience with Peruvian cuisine and now it is a place that I plan to bring everyone I know to experience the rich flavors, kind people and overall beautiful experience!

My wife is Peruvian and ever since I first tasted their food, I fell in love with her even more since the food was so good. Needless to say, whenever a new Peruvian restaurant opens, we will most definitely visit. Unfortunately this visit was subpar. Location is typical as any near or on Buford highway. Upon arriving one of the first things I look for in any restaurant in their DPH score. 77 while not the worst definitely not great either. It seems as there is no central AC working either as a large evaporator was near front door and a large industrial floor fan was near the hallway between kitchen and dining room. Our meal consisted of Ceviche (pescado), Aji de Gallina, and Seco. Portion on ceviche although small was consistent with average pricing around Atlanta. Flavor and texture was average with nothing that stood out. Seco, this was my wife's plate. Although she said the flavor was decent the dryness due to prior day(s) cooking and reheating was unpleasant. My dish was Aji de Gallina. This is my favorite Peruvian dish; I learned how to prepare and cook it and have tried it at every peruvian restaurant I have ever been. As with the Seco the chicken had obviously been cooked day(s) prior as reheating took out all the moisture. As far as the flavor...NONE, I have never tasted such a bland dish in all my life as this one that was served to me. It was a struggle to fight through every bite as we were both hungry purposely eating a light breakfast with thoughts of a flavorful reward for lunch. We did have thoughts prior to try picarones, but due to such a downfall on quality of food we decided to head up the street to Mozart bakery for a consistent flavorful experience for dessert. As far as the overall ambience and cleanliness of restaurant it was good. However, I fear it may only be due to its early stages. Service was typical of any restaurant on how you interact, only downfall was tipping/included gratuity that should be expressed by server. Wife and and I discussed whether it should warrant a return maybe catching them on a bad day, but due to the combination of all we agreed to move on and never look back. Also, please pay attention to your bill. 15% gratuity is already added for 2 guests. We paid by card and our server presented us a remote POS station already on the tip(additional) screen.

Lovely and delicious food, had a lot of variety . Lots of good food nice decorations and interior

Everything was amazing. The nicest and most helpful staff ever. They made wonderful suggestions as this was our first time trying Peruvian food. And everything was great and reasonably priced. Will definitely get the pollo saltado again. We will be back for sure!!

es más precio que calidad y la atención ni que decir deberían mejorar parece que solo modificaron el nombre
