“ Authentically Peruvian. Verified by my friend. Simple and true home cooking. Love to support small businesses. Worth trying to expand your horizons if you aren't familiar! ”
“ Machu Picchu is a ;delicious Peruvian neighborhood eatery in Brookhaven. Here are the dishes and beverages I tried: Ceviche de Pescado Lomo Saltado a lo Pobre Picarones Chicha Morado Highlights were the ceviche, which was vibrant and tangy, lomo saltado, with its tender, seasoned steak and onions, and plantains, which were well-balanced with just the right amount of crispy edges. Overall, this is an eatery that is definitely worth a visit for lunch (they have lunch specials until 4p.m.) or dinner. I'll be back soon to try their stews and other seafood main courses. Stop in also to speak with Zoila García, MP owner who is passionate about serving the BuHi community! ”
“ Arriving in Atlanta on business, I was delighted to find a small cluster of international cuisine in walking distance of the hotel. I decided to try Machu Picchu Restaurant as I'd never before had the opportunity to try Peruvian food. Well, I'm only here a couple of nights and I believe I'll be going back. The hospitality was excellent. I mentioned that it was my first time trying Peruvian food, and they happily guided me through some recommendations. I ended up ordering the Anticuchos Especial (beef heart skewers served with their boiled potatoes and yellow pepper sauce), as well as the Arroz con Mariscos (Peruvian style paella). Both dishes were truly delicious. The beef heart was marinated in a succulent blend of spices (flavor, not heat). The papa a la hunacaina was very flavorful, and I could have consumed a LOT of the huancaina (yellow pepper sauce). I just wanted to dip the beef heart slices in that sauce all night. The paella was savory and comforting. In all, I ordered too much food for dining alone. I have no regrets... and I have leftovers for breakfast before I head to work. I'm only in town a couple more nights, and may find myself there for both of them. ”

“ Another hidden gem in north ATL. Our meals were fantastic, filling, and perfectly seasoned. The service is fantastic. The booths are comfortable and the music sets a good vibe. We plan to come back for our birthday dinners this year. ”
“ Absolutely delicious! I'm going to add this to our regular rotation. I started with the Sopa de Casa, which is basically chicken noodle soup, but it was strong and savory and hit the spot. Then I had the Lomo Saltado a la Pobre, which was a revelation - lots of flavors that blended perfectly together. Be sure to add some off the hot cilantro side sauce if you like a little heat (I do). My friend had the Tallarines Verde, which was delicious, though a touch dry for pasta. I "won" our first visit. Waiter was very nice and attentive. The room is rather spartan - simple booths and tables on a linoleum floor with a TV hanging in the corner playing cover band videos (??). But I go to restaurants for the food, not the decor. And I'll definitely be going back to Machu Picchu. ”
“ Food was really good. I went with a group on a whim and was not disappointed. It's pretty clear this spot is primarily serving people of the culture, so your best bet is to ask the staff what's good if you want the best. I had the calamari & lomo saltado with egg and was not disappointed. ”
“ This is a mom and pops family owned restaurant. At first glance it seems quite simple but clean. However, they have little to no AC. Just fans and unfortunately that is not always the best in 90+ degree weather. At the time, only a mom and son were at the front, attending to customers. There may have been a cook in the back. Service is slow but friendly. I ordered the chicken empanada with side salad and yucca. Honestly, it was all delicious. The empanada was perfectly fried but once you opened the empanada a yummy chicken aroma burst from the inside. The chicken mix had a soupy yet mole texture. It was a pleasant surprise. The taste of the empanada was also another unique taste different from the Cuban and Mexican empanadas. The salad was fresh. And the yucca was also tasty. I hope they can get the AC running because I'd like to come again and try other dishes. ”
“ Came here with friends to try some Peruvian food. This was a very cute woman-owned restaurant. The owner was very sweet and told us her story as well as give us great suggestions from the menu. Very fun tropical vibe with great music in the background. We all tried various chicken dishes and they were all so flavorful and delicious. Would love to try other items in their extensive menu. ”
