Machu Picchu Fine Peruvian Cuisine & Seafood

I believe that’s homemade bread they offer with the meal plus their special dipping sauce which I love. The food was very fragrant and artistic. It was good. I also like thier green spaghetti. I was told seafood would the best thing to get at a Peruvian restaurant. Next time.

This place was amazing. On the pricier side but food is delicious. The half rotisserie chicken is shown in a half eaten and fully eaten state. Chicken was bit dry. They also have a secret habanero sauce, it's really spicy but so good. Fish soup is really tasty. Food came out quickly. They give you free bread with butter and spicy mayo. The waitress Maira was super amazing as well.

Fantastic food so juicy flavorful so much amount of food to feed a big family it’s out of this world!really recommend if you want to eat something new! The atmosphere really puts you in the place !! Totally recommend it !!

The food was authentic and unique, just not special. Also our food came out separately and kind of cold. Our server though was very nice, friendly and helpful. She explained to my wife and I what was good on the menu.

I at first felt skeptical about trying this place out due to the low ratings, but our experience was better than I thought it would be! Peruvian cuisine is new to me so I didn’t know what to expect. In the end, I was impressed! Our waitress was super friendly, the menu is huge with lots of options. In the end, I got the fried fish with fries. It was honestly great! The fish was crispy and tasted fresh. Overall impressed. I might make a stop here again at some point. If you’re in it for Peruvian cuisine on the west side of Indy, this joint might suit you well.

Had a great time eating here. Have been now multiple times and the food is always served hot and delicious. Food is made to order so the waiting time for your food depends. The waitresses were kind and attentive. A good place to eat and spend time catching up with people. The waitresses don't pressure you to leave which is great. Great atmosphere with Peruvian art and music.

I had the preconceived notion that Peruvian non-seafood dishes were bland. I was wrong. The food was quite tasty! Portions are huge! Service was great and the staff was friendly. The restaurant itself is not fancy but it was clean and well maintained. Definitely worth a repeat visit.

This is my second time dining at Macchu Picchu, and again I am super pleased. I had a fish stew and my husband had ceviche. Both delicious!

Friendly service, at times a bit of a communication problem since I only speak 3 words of Spanish and our waitress not much English. But since the menu has both languages, we were able to come ot an agreement. For starters you get some white bread and some sort of green sauce to dip it in. Love that green sauce whatever it may be. The portion sare quite large and most dishes are starch heavy. Potatoes & Rice, or pasta & potato and so on. While there are no Guinea Pigs on this menu (thank goodness), you can find things such as beef heart or octopus and mussels. I had #37 I believe it's called Camarones Ajilos, but don't quote me on that. It came with Shrimp in a delicate sauce, fries, white rice and a little salad all on one plate. All of it delicious. I was there with part of my dining group of course and while everyone ordered a different dish, I heard no complaints at all.

If you like to try different cultures food and MP to your list. Very cute, casual space. Don't let the strip mall location stop you. They have a large menu with something for everyone. This was definitely a situation that every dish that came out I kept thinking Oh I want that one! Especially some of the fried rice dishes as they were huge portions. I did totally enjoy mine though! Picante De Mariscos- Shrimp, octopus, squid, mussels, cooked with Peruvian spices. Served with a side of rice. Delicious! I'd love to try some of the ceviche's next visit.

I missed taking pictures my first time, but take heart, I'm coming back! My husband and I ended up here because we were on the hunt for Arroz Chaufa. We struck GOLD!! it was all the things! Delicious, huge portion, and affordable. My daughter and I split a rotisserie chicken meal with a side of fries and salad. We both loved the chicken. My kiddo is not a baked chicken fan, but she devoured this! Perfect for a substitute kids meal, especially because I didn't see a specific kids meal and the cuisine is new to us. The salad was simple and tasted wonderful. It's a simple like juice squeeze dressing, so if that's not your thing, I'd go a different direction. The dining atmosphere is relaxed, clean, comfortable. The decor is unique and authentic. I'm excited to return.

Choros Ala Chalaca (Mussels),Picante Marisco (Seafood in Peruvian sauce ) not spicy unless requested, Chicha Morada Drink ( very nice hint of cloves)

The food was good. The lomo saltado was flavorful, but the meat was a bit tough for a good saltado The yucca fries we good, would have appreciated some sea salt on them! The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had relaxed vibe. Service was great and timely!

Outstanding lomo saltado. Perfect balance of flavor and spice. The fried plaintains with the green sause is so nice. Great poertions. Worth every cent. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, friendly staff. A memerable experience you shouldn't miss. Wow!

Love love love love love the seafood rice! Not only it is delicious and definitely full of seafood their portion size is A LOT There's 2 of us and we share the seafood rice, we get a whole meal to eat there and another meal to bring home, it's a hugeeeee portion Staffs are friendly and when you seat down they bring you this bread with green sauce They also have other Peruvian food that I have yet to try, I've tried their (clay oven?) fried chicken which was also good but seafood trumps fried chicken for me

Doing errands in this side of town, famished... His Goatness spotted the place, and it was on! First: open during the "foodless hour" -- the time many restaurants close between lunch and dinner. Man, I love finding places that are! Ambience: simple strip mall joint, a bit aged, but with a cool wall mural containing a brief history of Machu Picchu, which is neat. Service: pleasant, efficient, bilingual in English and Spanish. Water arrived with a fresh lime wedge, which was a nice touch. No chips -- bread and an herbal aioli served instead. Food: the chicken stew looked very simple, but it was packed with flavor. His Goatness's fried beef and French fries was pretty good, although the beans were a bit bland. Everything struck me as simple home cooking, nothing fancy, but filling and hearty. Will have to try the ceviche next time! Price: reasonable. I recommend, if you're hungry!

We had the potato thing sorry I don't remember the name but it's very light mashed potatoes filled with meat, hard boiled egg and an olive . My husband loves it, l like it but it's way to big to eat much of if you want to have your dinner . Last time we were here they were out of chicken . The place is full of families on the weekends and I know what they know the Peruvian chicken is amazing so either go early or not on a Sunday because you must order the chicken . The chicken comes with 2 sides and it seems potatoes come from Peru originally so it's a standard side dish . Try them they are super crispy on the outside and baked potato soft on the inside . So we ordered the chicken and the vegetable fried rice . We like to eat family style so we share whatever we order I think this might be a good idea for most people since the fried rice is a meal ... for a giant . Long ago sorry I don't know my history Chinese people immigrated to Peru in large numbers so the food reflects that influence and is delicious. The service is fast ( as fast as cooking fresh food can be ) and pleasant. We didn't understand a word each of us said but smiles and nods got the order perfect . Very nice lady out front . It's clean and nicely decorated and on a Tuesday early evening it's was quiet . However on a Sunday around one it's family time . Personally I like the sounds of families gathered at a table or a few tables . It wasn't loud by any means just background chatter but it was busy . This is NOT Mexican food or Spanish food or Cuban food it's completely different . You can take your non foody friend who prefers chicken nuggets and they will enjoy it .

This place is amazing! I do not think I had, had Peruvian food before so I was excited to try Machu Picchu for the first time. That is was a few years ago and I make it a point to go when I am in the area now. The chicken they have which they make in a special way is amazing. The bread and sauce they give you as you sit down is quite tasty as well. The star of the menu for me though is the seafood fried rice. The portion size of this is massive. My fiancé and I share one meal and still take enough home for lunch the next day. This is a deliciously seasoned rice with shrimp, mussels, octopus, and squid mixed in. AMAZING! Come here, you will not be sorry you did.

My wife ordered the Loma Saltado con frijoles (steak, fries, beans and rice) and I ordered arroz chaufa mariscos (rice and seafood mix). I was actually envious of my wife's food. I was underwhelmed with my dish. My wife loved her dish and left no leftovers for me to enjoy. I will get what she ordered next time.

First time trying Peruvian cuisine, the service was very good and the food was also very delicious we will be back!

This spot is a hidden gem! Amazing food. True authentic Peruvian dishes. I had the sweet plantains, a rello de papa, and pollo saltado. All were fresh made to order, super tasty and great portions. Luz our server was super nice.

I ordered Lomo Saltado and it tasted something between Fajitas and Chinese food. I ate here before and the food was good at that time. I did not like the food this time nor it's worth the price. The food for 3 people and 3 regular maracuya drinks, was $96 and cents, later I received my receipt online and they overcharged changing the amount of the tip I left.

I have been to Machu Picchu and both times the food was great! There are not many Peruvian restaurants, so I really needed them to be good! And they are. I have tried Lomo saltado which was perfect ( but not recommended if you are trying to cut back sodium intake), yucca fries, and chaufa. Service is attentive and friendly. The menu has variety of choices. Food usually comes quick too.currently they are blocking some tables to enforce social distancing. Highly recommended.

This place! This place! This place! Modestly stowed away in a strip mall on 38th street, this place would be easy to drive by, but please make that U-turn! You won't regret it! You start off with complimentary bread and a green, creamy sauce (I'm not Peruvian so I'm not familiar with the cuisine). The bread is super soft and the dressing is so good, I promise you'll pour it on your main dish. My friends and I ordered the Yuca a la Huancaína. I didn't get a picture because they were so good we ate it straight away (sorry phone). It a big plate of fried yuca that is easily shareable between 4 people, and it's served with yellow Huancaína sauce that is creamy, cheesy, and garlicky! But what really makes this place stand out are the PORTIONS. I ordered the arroz chaufa with chicken, and this place could feed a family of four. It's Peruvian chicken fried rice, but honestly I like it more than Chinese fried rice. (Fun fact: the Chinese diaspora in Peru invented this using Chinese and local Peruvian ingredients). There's chicken, green onion, egg, and flavorful rice, so very simple ingredients but always done so well! Also, I love to pour the rest of my green sauce onto my plate! My friends also ordered camarones al ajillo and the pescado y camaron meuniere. I didn't get pictures of their dishes, but they looked sooo good too and also had a big portion. Everyone left with a to go box for one or two more servings. I've had the same waitress the couple times I went, and she's always so nice :) Excelente servicio y el personal siempre está al pendiente. Siempre lo recomendaré a cualquier persona que tenga mucha hambre.

Had a wonderful dinner with friends here! We all ordered different dishes, and all of them were delicious - we will definitely be back! The menu is huge and we are looking forward to trying more of the dishes here.

Love this spot. I travel for a living and if I land at a decent time coming back from a trip I try and swing by here to grab dinner! The majority of the servers speak Spanish so it's a great time for me to practice my Spanish! Make sure you order the yuca fries! The aji verde green sauce that comes with it is delicious. I really love a yellow sauce but forgot to order it last time! Hopefully this will help me remember next time!! I usually order the chicken dish with green pasta- gosh I love it! When you order carry out it takes a solid 30 minutes even if they're seem completely empty inside, so just plan ahead!

When one of your friends starts planning her move to Peru, you search 'Peruvian food' on the Yelp app so you can try it out. We both needed to know what she was getting into - right?! After eating one of the best meals ever, I can officially say I want to book a trip to Peru to visit. Our server brought out a loaf of white bread and Aji Verde: a, creamy, slightly spicy, delicious green dipping sauce. We both ordered the lomo saltado, an entree of well-cooked steak, potatoes (fries), onions and tomatoes, mixed together in a steak-like sauce. It came with a side of rice and we continued dipping everything in the Aji Verde. I was blown away by how much I enjoyed everything we ate - who knew Peruvian food was this delicious?! Our server only spoke Spanish and we used it as an opportunity to brush up on our skills and keep the conversation going. She was super sweet, and as the only server in that evening, you'll most likely have to yell a "perdona" to get your check. No problem. The family's young son was running around, confirming that this is indeed a family-run establishment. I'll be back!! Note: They don't take the International Marketplace discount card.

Machu Picchu was delicious! I had never tried Peruvian food before and decided to eat there based on reviews. The bread/dipping sauce they bring is addictive! A light taste with a bit of heat and hints of cilantro. Our main dish was vegetarian and the pasta was made with a pesto sauce and paired with steamed potatoes and a cheese sauce that had special spices. Will definitely go back to try something else! Large portions, friendly service and reasonable prices.

Talk about a hidden gem. I brought business colleagues, one of which was Peruvian. She gave it high marks. You assume that you know Latin Cuisine but these were elegant and diverse. Everything was super

had a nice dinner, authentic flavors, well prepared. nice folks. dino my room is pretty humble, but don't be dissuaded. Good Peruvian food.

I had the camarones al ajillo. It's shrimp in garlic sauce served with rice and fries. The sauce tasted really good with the rice. This is by far my favorite dish that I have tasted at this restaurant. I also tried their choros a la chalaca which is mussels marinated in lime juice, it was delicious. The serving staff was friendly and the ambience is good. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. There is ample parking space available outside the restaurant. Would highly recommend this place if you want to try Peruvian food.

We walked in around dinner time and there was no wait. As soon as we got there we were waited on and served some bread and some type of green sauce. Then my boyfriend and I ordered the Yucca appetizer which came with a simple yellow sauce. Next we decided to split the Lomo Saltado, which was strips of steak served with fries, onions, and rice. I liked the steak and rice, but the fries were very salty. Last we ordered the Flan dessert and it was thick but we enjoyed it! The whole time we were there they were playing Latin pop music so it was a nice vibe. There was also a big wall explaining the history behind Macchu Picchu!

Very good service and food. We had Lomo Saltado, 1/2 chicken and Mixed Fried Seafood. Lomo Saltado and half chicken were excellent. Mix Seafood was ok. Chicha Morada was excellent just like we had in Peru. Flan was pretty good with chocolate and I think honey on top. Would go back to try other dishes.

I came here with a large group of friends and we were seated in their private dining area. Our server was very kind to us and worked very well with our group size. I ordered their Lomo Saltado which was pretty good. Their mussels with corn pico de gallo salsa appetizer was very good! It had so much zest and flavor to it! It's a nice and peaceful place to dine at.

Yo!.!.!.!. Okay the place needs to revamp their Menu because it looks like it was made in the 70s... But! The food.... WOW! Amazing! Soooooo good and takes you on a journey to flavor town. The prices are high for the street style Peruvian food you get but then when you taste it you forget the cost and enjoy the journey of goodness. I love this place!

Verdict: Good place to try Peruvian food Atmosphere / decor - 4 Service - 3.5 Food - 4 Location - 3 Value - 4 Overall 4 I came here for a Meetup which was set up in a side room. Service is a little harder to judge since it ended up being a large group, around 20, but it was decent. They have a large menu, off which many people ordered different things. There were a lot of similarities between a lot of the dishes (presentation and ingredient wise). There were a few that stood out and looked especially de Lucio I though. The appetizer selection also had great potential. I got the chicken fried rice and my boyfriend got the seafood fried rice. I really enjoy the chicken fried rice here. The seafood rice is good too, I just prefer the chicken. It comes with a ton of food. We each got three meals out of our dishes. They have a small wine selection as well. Overall it's a decent place for Peruvian food.

Great food with great service! They were seating every other table due to Covid-19. And they are wearing face masks.

I was in the mood for some quality Hispanic food, and Manchu Picchu did not disappoint. I often go to Mexican restaurants, so I wanted a change of pace, and was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. The place has a lovely small atmosphere, adorned with various Peruvian tapestries and knickknacks. The servers are all bilingual and friendly. The food also did not take long to arrive. As anyone that looks through their menu can see, the restaurant has an amazing diversity of food. My favorite unusual drinks are the passion fruit and guava juices - they're truly refreshing. I order a plate that included steak, chicken, oysters, shrimp, and even octopus! I would recommend this restaurant to any of my friends.

¡Delicioso! As one of the only (if not the only) purveyors of Peruvian food in Indianapolis, I was very thrilled to find this spot. I have only had Peruvian food one other time, and I could not at all remember any of the dishes I had. So we asked the waitress for recommendations, and then promptly ordered the lomo saltado. As we were waiting for our food, the waitress brought out a loaf of bread and two small dipping bowls of a creamy light green sauce. It was so delicious. Cilantro forward, but with a slight hint of heat (not too much though- even I could handle it!). It tasted delicious with the bread. I also ordered a drink, the name of which I can't remember now, that was...interesting. I'm fairly certain that I've decided I enjoyed it, but the jury is still out. The waitress told me that it was a highly concentrated fruit juice, but I couldn't tell you which fruit it was. All I know is that it tasted a little bit like Christmas! And I love Christmas. The lomo saltado finally arrived after a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. Well seasoned and marinated, the dish was fantastic. I'm not sure that traditional Peruvian cuisine contains french fries, but this one did and it was YUMMY. The veggies and fries soaked up a lot of the marinade from the meat, and it all culminated in a taste explosion. I will definitely be going back to try more options! I can't with confidence compare this food to traditional Peruvian food, but I CAN with confidence tell you that this food was incredibly delicious. And they are a family-owned business, which is a huge plus. If you've never had Peruvian or if you're looking to try some, this is the place to go. **Note: on the evening we were there, there was only one waitress and she spoke very little English. I would consider bringing a Spanish-speaking friend or have your Google Translate app ready if you can't speak the language yourself!

Food: I LOVE PERUVIAN CHICKEN SO MUCH and this restaurant has it! I ordered the quarter chicken dish with salad and fried yucca. The fried yucca was good but would have been great with some sort of dipping sauce (like extra cilantro sauce -- so good -- it was finished by the time the yucca plate hit the tablecloth). The chicken was really well seasoned but unfortunately was very very dry. It was a shame. My partner ordered the Lomo Saltado and was not disappointed. The meat was seasoned very well, the rice was fluffy, and the veggies were so good. Atmosphere: It has kind of an odd set up, very long with four tops lining either side and an additional space to the right where parties can be seated. Modest decorations - traditional Peruvian pieces and some iron art. Service: The waitress was very nice and worked at overcoming any language barriers we had. One of the cooks is Peruvian (i only know this because a customer came in asking if the cook was Peruvian and the waitresses all laughed and said yes and brought him out lol). This is a great place to get a little slice of Peru in Indy and I look forward to returning and giving the chicken another try!

You know the place is authentic when they send their kid to deliver the check to you ahaha Instead of the usual bread and butter provided, this place will give you bread and a green (cilantro?) sauce. It honestly gave me some banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) vibes, which I'm not complaining about at all. I ordered lomo saltado: sautéed beef in some special sauce and they had crispy fries that was mixed in with the beef and sauce. On the side was rice. The dish was really delicious! If you're familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, it was similar to Bo luc lac (shaking beef). You should definitely try this place!

The pollo a la braza is a scam, and they use frozen French fries on their plates I will never come back here, the waitress was super nice I'll give her 5 stars.

I had planned to go to the cuban joint around the corner, but it closed earlier than it said it did. I walked into this place and immediately felt the vibe. It wasnt a good vibe. Most of the customers were peruvian, and some of them were speaking in a native dialect, and not spanish. The people mostly had their heads down, and were speaking in low tones. I understand this might be a cultural thing, but I like big bold people that are in your face when they talk. I felt the vibe was eating to survive and not to enjoy life and the company of people you love, eating to keep the lights on in your body, but not to actually enjoy the moment. I got a maracuya and a chicken rice/ beans plate. The maracuya was outstanding, and maybe the highlight of the visit. The chicken was ok, the beans kinda had a wishy washy flavor, the rice maybe had no flavor. It wasnt that cheap, nor that expensive. I kinda felt like i walked into the twilight zone by coming here. Would i go back? Yeah, the maracuya was hella good, but the food, just ok.

I did not know what to expect having never tried Peruvian before, but my best friend assured me it was delicious. I ordered something she had never tried but sounded good to me. Our food came out shortly after we ordered, and what I got was nothing like I thought it would be when I ordered. It was a giant plate of yellow... I was so worried I wouldn't like it and what in the world did I just order??? First bite immediately changed my mind about this yellow pile of chicken. It was delicious!!!! Moral of the story try Peruvian, it does not disappoint!!

This place is wonderful! The staff is always friendly & the food is fabulous!! My wife & I have missed going there for the last few months, due to the Covid. We hope to get back there very, very soon!!

This place is a very humbly decorated restaurant with delicious food. It brought back all the comforts of home with its Yucca a la huancaina and Aguadito de pollo. It's also been a long time since I've had tallarín verde and it just smelled the same way my grandmother used to make it in her kitchen. I so wish we had this gem in Ohio near Cleveland because it would be a frequent place of mine where I could just picture walking in and having the waitress know exactly what I came for. Before we left, the waitress said that when we came back we'd be in for a nice surprise in regards to them decorating/painting a bit more, but you know what, keep the menu and chef the same!! Looking forward to coming back :)

Fantastic place. My mom and I regularly had lunch here before she moved and that lady is picky about food. I still order food from here and I usually order the same thing every time because it's so good- aji de gallina. The plántanos fritos are just right too. My mom wants me to eat well so she insists I take her leftovers home with me- everything she's ever gotten here has been really tasty. The food has always been good and, in the before times, it was always a chill place.

Peruvian Apology! I'm peruvian and this place has nothing to do with Peruvian food, sorry Gringos but this place is an scam is more Texmex than Peruvian. I ordered lomo saltado because no peruvian will mess up that dish but surprise they f..up royally, meat burned and way too much soy sauce and vinagre, my sister asked for the Ají de Gallina (spicy chicken) the chicken was almost liquified it look and tasted like vomit. I will never go back to that place!! If you want peruvian food, please drive to Chicago and go to Tanta Chicago, Ay picante or Fina Estampa this last restaurant has rotisserie Chicken. The Incas are upset.

Food and service is great.The lomo saltado is delicious and the waiter was very kind.

Great food, as I have a special place in my heart for Peruvian food. I will say that the two times I've been there, the service is extraordinarily slow. Reminded me of Peru! We had the same waiter both times, who was super sweet and friendly. Also both times they seemed to be out of a lot of menu items, it's a small restaurant, so I get it, but still seemed a little odd. I recommend eating here, just don't be on a budget or hope to have plans afterwards!

Great service. Great food. Very generous portions. Pechuga a la plancha, yuca frita and salad tasted delicious. The start you with a soft bread and some spiicy cilantro sauce.

Huge portions! Surprisingly delicious shrimp and fish - cooked perfectly and tasted clean and so so good! Fried rice dish is at least three servings, probably more like 4 or five so be prepared to take home a box. Friendly service. Clean restroom. Oh and the bread and green sauce!!!!! I'd go back just for that! Recommend this place

I just had lunch there and the food was delicious and plentiful. I took enough home for two more meals. The dipping sauce for the bread was so good, it was flavorful with a touch of heat. I had the Lomo Saltado con Frijoles. OMG, it was so good- the flavor paired so well with the plain white rice and the frijoles were white beans with a mild flavor so it didn't overpower the Lomo Saltado. My mom had the Arroz Chaufa Pollo and really enjoyed it. My father was from Peru and would occasionally make dishes from there. I wish he could have experienced this restaurant as I think he would have definitely loved it. I'm going again!!!

On a recent road trip my family we decided to stop here on a whim. We are Peruvian to have found a Peruvian place on our road trip seemed like a dream come true. If only we knew it was false advertisement. The food here has no actual Peruvian seasoning and seems to have been a basic rotisserie chicken instead of actual pollo a la brasa. The fish advertised is not the fish sold leading to the overpricing of meals for a cheaper type of fish served. The music of this establishment tried to fit the theme together by having windflute covers of top hits. Although a nice touch it seemed sort of amusing to us dining. The overall decorations was very nice put together but a clear attempt at trying to showcase that it is a Peruvian spot with a huge mural of Machu Picchu. Nice decorations and cleanliness in the dining area yet that seems to stop right at the bathroom. What a nightmare. The bathroom is poorly lit with a broken stall. The music from the kitchen could be heard in the bathroom and loud shouting as you use the bathroom. Overall the bathroom was falling apart and needed a lot more attention to it.

Apparently not open @ 4:00pm Despite a bright neon OPEN sign in the window, takeout service is not available after 3pm.

Came to this place a few years back and overall was not impressed. The ceviche fish lacked flavor. It did not taste fresh but instead as if it had been thawed out and refrozen a few times.. the tallarines Saltado smelled wonderful but also lacked taste? The fried rice was good. The staff overheard my comments about the ceviche and the owner came out to assert that the fish was very fresh!!! I guess my palate didn't matter. Will not be returning.

Ate here last night, I have to recommend the sampler appetizer, the beef heart was tender and well seasoned, the ceviche muscles were also bursting with flavor. I love the cheese sauce for dipping the yucca, too. We also ordered a steak with eggs on it, which was a thin slice of steak but seasoned well and had plantains on the side, very good. The other dish was a big ball of mashed potatoes stuffed with beef that had a unique and pleasant flavor. I plan to try ceviche fish next time. I loved finding this gem of ethnic cuisine in Indy.
