Ponchos Machupicchu Restaurant on Postcard

"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."

We got a discount due to staying in the hotel upstairs，but surprisingly this is clearly one of the better restaurants in town. Excellent trout, very good alpaca. octopus was not my fave. Appetizers were great home made chips. and they make their own sodas. good vibes.

I have to be honest, I usually give 4 stars to restaurants because I don’t like giving 5 stars unless it’s worth it. With that being said I have to say this place REALLY knows what they are doing as far as flavor of food to the service. The staff were a bit busy due to the many people there but I got a table fast. My wife got a chaufa and I had the pork belly cracklings and with a desert of tres leche. Every single dish I have to say was 5/5. If you’re visiting the city of Agua Calientes and want good food, come to ponchos!

It is impressive that such a small and touristic place, such as Aguas Calientes, can still offer great food experiences. Everything was great: food, service and the place. On the upside is the duck dish, which was amazing. On the downside, the beer was too expensive for its quality.

Wonderful duck dinner! Staying at the hotel saves you some $. I had lunch there 2 days later and it was superb. The staff is incredibly nice, the drinks are great, and after trying 3 other restaurants in town I can say this is the best food I’ve had in Machu Picchu.

This was an incredible restaurant that we stumbled upon in Aguas Calientes!! I had the best pisco sour of my trip and our food was absolutely delicious. Ruth, our server, was very kind and attentive to our needs. We would definitely come back if we had more time!!

For a restaurant rated so highly we expected more. The pizza was decent, but the carbonara was soso. The staff was friendly and efficient. We had an issue with an item we ordered, and our waiter handled the situation perfectly by offering a free dessert. Sadly, it was one of the worst desserts we've ever had. I do not recommend the chocolate sunday.

The food and drinks were great! We had the northern Peruvian short rib dish and the alpaca la pimienta. We enjoyed both! Our server, Yubia, was so sweet - thanks!

Good food and craft beer selection in Aguascalientes. And decent for the price. Even get a 10% discount if you stay at the attached hotel (Hotel RockRiver).
