The food is good here, not excellent but very good for a tourist restaurant. Our guinea pig was but salty and expensive for half a pig. The scallops were delicious and plenty to go around. The oxtails were not as tender as I was used to. The chicken soup was flavorful without being salty 👍 The live music was very nice touch. Peruvian Food Fatigue: A Love Story" I think I've reached peak Peru – my taste buds are numb, and my enthusiasm for even the most iconic dishes has waned. After days of ceviche, lomo saltado, and papas rellenas, everything starts to blend together. It's like my palate is saying, "Déjà vu, we've been here before... and before... and before." If we were here on day one, I'd be singing a different tune – "This is the best food ever! The flavors, the spices, the textures!" But after a culinary marathon, my senses are crying out for something new. Sorry, Inca grill, I know I'm supposed to be in love with your food, but I think I've reached food coma level 10. Maybe a break from all the ají amarillo and potatoes is in order? Can I just have a plain salad or something? Highly recommend. We had a hot chocolate, golden milk, Andean pancakes and French toast. Everything was delicious. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Piero went above and beyond, gave us advice for adjusting to the altitude on our first day here. We will be back.

The atmosphere was absolutely lovely — warm, inviting, and full of good energy. Booking was effortless; everything was simple and straightforward from start to finish. The food was fantastic! Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. My colleagues and I all loved our meals — everyone left happy and satisfied. The location is perfect, right on the main square in Cusco, making it easy to find and a great spot to soak up the city’s lively vibe.

Tourist trap: expensive and completely disappointing. The service is glacial, the bill is huge and the food is largely inedible. We have started with a salad and soup which were decent, but were extremely disappointed with the pepper steak, which was almost rare (not medium). When returned to the kitchen, they didn't cook it at all and simply slapped some more source onto it. We chose this place as we were hungry, didn't want to walk far and they had gluten free options clearly marked, but really regretted the experience.
