Cuzco Peruvian Cuisine - Review - Buford Highway - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"This new Buford Highway restaurant joins the Peruvian food boom of Atlanta. Fellow newcomer Madre Selva made our Hit List, and we're excited to see how Cuzco's lomo saltado stacks up against other Peruvian favorites like Tio Lucho's and Las Brasas. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Juli Horsford

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 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

Loved the food, loved the vibe! Everything was amazing from start to finish. The flavors were on point, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommend Cuzco for an authentic Peruvian dining experience!

Delicious lunch of potato and yucca appetizers followed by ceviche trio for two. I met a friend here to talk about our careers. Billy was our server and he was very attentive, making sure that the food we ordered from the extensive menu was available in the kitchen. Another server, Kelly, was also delightful, helping me to pack up leftovers from the generous portions. The cooks, Jannett, Fabiola, and Alex are to be commended for the wonderful flavours. The restaurant is clean, bright, and exuberantly decorated. I don’t have photos of our meal because I ate it all up, first! Definitely will be back and recommend you visit, soon.

Cuzco Peruvian Cuisine in Brookhaven is a fantastic find on Buford Highway. The service is friendly, and the food is full of bold, authentic flavor. The ceviche carretillero was a standout with fresh fish and crispy calamari that created a perfect contrast in texture. The plátanos maduros were soft, sweet, and caramelized to perfection. I also tried the combinado, which offered a flavorful variety of classic Peruvian dishes all on one plate. It’s a great choice if you want to sample multiple items.

The food was delicious! Ingrid’s service was excellent, she was attentive, very kind, and helpful. I had lomo saltado and the ceviche trio! everything was perfectly cooked. At our table, we tried three different desserts: choco flan, lúcuma ice cream, and picarones! It was my first time trying picarones and lúcuma ice cream… I loved both! My favorite was definitely the picarones. I will definitely be coming back to keep trying the delicious dishes on the menu.

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.

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.
