Machupicchu Restaurant II

If you’re looking for authentic Peruvian food that hits the spot every time, Machupicchu is it. This place is truly a hidden gem—it’s unassuming from the outside but packed with flavor inside.

I always go for their lomo saltado, and it never disappoints. It’s a hearty and flavorful plate of steak, onions, and peppers, seasoned to perfection and served with soft sweet plantains, crispy French fries, two poached eggs, and a side of rice. The flavors all come together so well—it’s a solid 9/10 for me, and the generous portion makes it even better.

Their sweet plantains add a beautiful contrast to the savory elements of the dish. I also love their crispy regular plantains—8/10 for those alone! Don’t skip their house sauces either: the yellow Peruvian sauce adds a rich layer of flavor, and the orange spicy sauce brings the perfect kick if you like a little heat.

The steak in the lomo saltado is good, though I think the cut could be slightly better quality. That said, it doesn’t take away from how delicious and satisfying the whole dish is.

Staff are consistently friendly and welcoming. I’d rate customer service an 8/10—nothing fancy, but solid and genuine. It does get pretty busy, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly or call ahead if you can.

The best part? The prices are super reasonable considering how much food you get. You leave full and happy without breaking the bank.

Highly recommend Machupicchu if you’re looking for real, homestyle Peruvian food in Providence. It’s truly one of those local spots that deserves more attention.

Horrible experience service was terrible and took forever even though I had made a reservation. The waiter told us the wait was because they had a lot of take out grub hub, uber eats, order so the kitchen was backed up. TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS AT THE RESTAURANT FIRST. Gave me paper plates and utensils for a birthday cake, server was extremely argumentative waited forever for my drink by the time they brought my coffee it was cold. If I didn’t have a huge party I would’ve left but the amount of people you definitely would’ve need a reservation. Overall would never return avoid like the plague. RUINED what was supposed to be a very happy time

Can’t speak much about the Atmosphere since all I’ve ever done is pick up. When I lived in RI I was in search for good Peruvian food and this is one of my top 2 restaurants. Good flavor and portions. Favorite plate is Bistec a la pobre. Must try if you are in Rhode Island.

service is always fast , servers are sweet & it’s so cozy inside one of my favorite places to stop in and grab a quick bite to eat , I always get the poor man’s lomo (with chicken instead of steak)with extra house sauce ! bang for your buck with how much food they give and how authentic it tastes straight out of a grandmas kitchen!

First time in Providence and me and my husband were invited to this restaurant. Let me tell you it blew us away. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the seafood rice and the fried calamari and it was the best. We have never tried Peruvian food before so we didn’t really know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. We also met the owner and she was so nice and told us that she originally opened her restaurant in 1989. Everyone was attentive and professional. Highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again.

I order food yesterday , they talk me 35 minutes , I went and the food wasn’t ready because the person took the order forgot to put in , I have to wait 1 hour and 17 minutes there because of them, I got home and chicken on my chaufa was burnt I am not going back

Terrible service. She was so miserable & could care less about it obviously due to the fact the 18% Gratuity was already included on such a small group! Food was great but we won't be returning.

Delicious food but terrible service. Be careful, we were a small group but an 18% tip was included in our bill which our server DID NOT deserve.

Came in about 15 min before closing no one spoke to me when the person came up to she told me they were closed and walked away.

The place was cold. Need to adjust the heat to make the place comfortable.
