"Chullpi Chullpi is a top choice for haute cuisine Peruvian-style. Its chefs insist on Cuzco -adjacent ingredient sourcing that supports local economies, at the same time keeping traditional dishes like cuy (a regional guinea pig species) relevant through contemporary iterations. The flavors are fabulous and the presentation winningly incorporates local history, such as using a serving dish carved to look like the circular terraces at Moray or presenting a pressed guinea pig on skewers over a small fire made of palo santo , a local incense. Portion sizes can be small—the perfect excuse to order more."

Had a fantastic lunch here after our hike to Machu Picchu. Lively ambiance, nice space, and a local had played live instrumental music. Prices were fair. The food was really great and had good portions, enough to take home with us. We had outstanding service from Gionella.

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.

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.
