Machu Picchu The Inka Way - Lawrenceville (GA)

5 /5 Fly1ngPan87: went to Machu Picchu, so far the best Peruvian food we have had in Georgia, definitely recommend it, we will soon be back.

1 /5 Traneshia Carr: Food tasted amazing but once i saw them welcome a couple with a dog (non service) I was instantly turned off. Dog sat at the table. Sat in the chairs. Gross. One of the workers played with it while having a basket of food in her other hand. Gross. They sat directly in front of me so i politely gathered my food and drink and moved towards the door. Didn’t make a fuss because what’s the point, it’s trendy these days, disgusting, but trendy. But yeah the food was good but I wouldn’t return. Had they come in before i ordered or my food came i would have left but i literally had just gotten my food and taken my first bite. If dogs in restaurant chairs and tables is your thing then you’d enjoy because the food was fresh and tasty.

5 /5 Clara 421: Peruvian taste yes! I ordered Pollo a la brasa, Causa acevichada was so good, Arroz Chaufa , Lomo Saltado a lo pobre and Picarones and everything I ordered was 10/10. It was a bit pricey compare to Sabor Inka but overall I had a great experience.

5 /5 David DiPietro: (Ordering guide for my fellow Americans). This is easily the most authentic and delicious Peruvian food in GA, and that I’ve had period. They really take pride in bringing authentic Peruvian flavors and it shows. Top-notch service, passion, and vibes. Easily my favorite restaurant! I’m married to a Peruvian, so I know my stuff. GUIDE: 1st picture is Caldo de Pollo (chicken noodle soup), if you are a picky eater or are just wanting a more flavorful version, this is what you should get. If you’re a spice freak, ask for “rocotto” (they’ll bring you a small cup of red spicy sauce, use it sparingly my friends). They have this in both an appetizer (entrada) and a dinner portion size. The 2nd picture is “causa de pollo”. This is also good for picky or people who are open to trying new things. It’s a layer of chicken, onion, spices, mayo (NO-this is not like the crappy chicken salad you make, it actually tastes good), sandwiched between two layers of perfect mashed potatoes, topped with more of the filling of the top layer. Overall this is a simple, flavorful appetizer (entrada), you can also try this with tuna if you’d like, both options are delicious for all types of eaters. 3rd picture is “ceviche mixto” this is a dish consisting of raw fish and other seafood, sweet potato, onion, canchita (crunchy fried Peruvian corn), cancha (soft peruvian corn), and a lime-based loose consistency (it’s watery but very flavorful, it isn’t watery in a bad way, I’m sucking at explaining this). Overall this is SUPER fresh and refreshing, it’s a cold dish that just tastes so good if you want something light but packed with all kinds of flavor. Great option if you don’t want something heavy, and it really isn’t THAT adventurous, the seafood is raw, but so is sushi :). Also, if you don’t like clams, calamari, etc. you can get it with just fish. 4th is one most of you gringos won’t eat because of the cut of steak this it (but you’re brave enough to eat the McDonald’s mystery meat burgers, so maybe rethink your ways?). It is “Antichuos”, which is a perfectly seasoned and tender beef heart, which they cook to perfection (I am a medium rare guy, this one is better cooked medium (medio) though). It also comes with cancha (same as in the ceviche), and potato, along with a spicy red dipping sauce. If you’re a spice freak, ask for “rocotto” (see the first section for reference). Overall, the texture isn’t that far off from a steak you’d normally have (maybe a LITTLE more chewy?), but has a way better Other foods: -Pollo a la Brasa. This is Peruvian rotisserie chicken, the only way I can describe this is it is so much better than the crap that has been sitting out in the grocery store all day. It’s like rotisserie chicken on steroids, and is my personal go to. If you get the meal, it comes with fries and salad (the dressing tastes like a slightly less tangy caesar). It also comes with two bottles of sauce: a mayo-based sauce and a spicy green sauce, good separate and mixed! Try this and it will also become your go to. -Pollo a la Milanesa. This is just chicken Milanese, breaded and cooked to perfection, seasoned well, crispy, full of flavor. Comes with salad and rice (can sub fries, I wouldn’t though). Their rice is also spectacular. If you are a SUPER picky eater, get this, it’s perfect for you and this is my wife’s favorite. DRINKS (Bebidas) -Inca kola (soda that tastes like bubble gum in a good way) -chicha morada (Peruvian purple corn drink that is made with pineapple, cinnamon and other fruits, sweet and refreshing). DESSERT (Postre) -arroz con leche (rice putting but better than the American one with more cinnamon and rasins) -massamora (purple corn jelly-like dessert, it tastes like chicha morada, see in drinks for details) -combinado (combination of the first two) -picarones (hand-made Peruvian donuts made from flour and various types of potatoes to provide a super unique and delicious flavor, coated in a fig-based Carmel-like sauce). -Alfaores (Peruvian cookies, soft textured cookies with Carmel filling dusted in powder sugar).
