4.9 / 5.0(126 reviews)
very very very tasty! llama steak and potatoes are beyond praise! highly recommend! takes a long time to cook, but its really perfect! You need to wait! and very polite staff! and here is a gorgeous view of the stormy river and mountains 😍❤️ The service here was excellent! The staff, especially Josue and Sebastian, were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. They made the experience feel so welcoming and pleasant. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect—relaxed and cozy with beautiful surroundings. Definitely one of the best places to stop and enjoy a meal in Aguas Calientes before or after visiting Machu Picchu! We had an amazing experience at Alpacas Grill. I was looking for a place that made alpaca pizza, and after a couple of places said they didn't, I found Alpaca Grill. This place knows how to cook alpaca. The pizza was delicious, it could easily be a feature on their menu. Great service, great drinks, great views. I would highly recommend.🔥🔥🔥

This play felt much more authentic than the other restaurants I ate it here and the quality of the food was excellent. The staff was very attentive and always jubilant. They offer vegetarian dishes as well as some of the local stuff such as alpaca and guinea pig. My first night here they gave me a free Pisco Sour, which I thought was very nice. The soups are delicious and everything else I've had here is. It is where the locals eat when they can afford to.
