Machupicchu

Machupicchu, also called "Machupicchu De La Tia Meche" on Elizabeth Ave. is a Peruvian restaurant specializing in Northern Peruvian dishes, such as stews and Andean dishes.

In addition, they have typical Peruvian a la carte items such as jalea, ceviche, lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, etc.

They regularly post their specials on Facebook, and are also a steady contributor of pollo a la brasa to locals.

I've visited Machupicchu a few times and have tried a number of their dishes, but I've unfortunately never been overly impressed compared to other Peruvian restaurants in the area.

On my first trip, I ordered the combinado macchupicchu: a mix of ceviche, jalea (fried calamari), and fried rice.

All in all, it was pretty good, but I've had better iterations of each dish at different Peruvian restaurants. Respectively, my favorite ceviche is currently from King of Subs, and jalea from either El Tiburon or Cebellini.

I later returned to Machupicchu to try some of their daily specials and creole-style Peruvian offerings.

Their soups are very hearty, of big portion, and fresh, such as their sopa de trigo de carne, which is a chicken broth wheat soup with yucca, celery, potatoes, carrots, oregano and beef.

I have also had their chupe (creamy fish soup) which was even better.

Entrees I have tried here on special were:
Puerco guisado con arveja partida: a stewed pork and split pea dish, served with rice.
Carapulcra, a chicken stew with a peanut sauce.
Aji de gallina: shredded chicken in a creamy cheese sauce with potatoes and rice.

I'll admit that these dishes may be more of an acquired taste, as I thoroughly enjoyed some of the sauces and the sides, but often times the sauce was a bit too earthy and harsh.

Good Food and great Price..What else can you ask for?

I love their cebiche good service
