Very nice service from the young lady. She was limited to English so she had to use google translate a few times which we did not mind . She's such a hard worker. They do use fresh cut potatoes in their limo which make its taste better. Their aji sauce was great both of them. Highly recommended read more

Best Peruvian food in town. Great service. It's a hole in the wall type place but it's kept clean and has great tasting food. I have been going to this place for 30+ years and the flavors don't change. Everything on their menu taste exceptionally better than the rest and I have tried many different Peruvian restaurants. This one in my book rates #1. read more

Lady was friendly and smiling. Big colorful murals on the wall from Machu Picchu and other Peruvian handicrafts decor. I went for Tallarin Saltado and it's was the best! Would definitely recommend this place. The lady also gave us some buns and butter. read more

Amazing and attentive service! It's a staple in the valley. If you're new to peruvian food I highly recommend to try out lomo saltado - beef :) It's always been a childhood favorite and remains as one of my favorite places to this day. read more

My favorite Peruvian restaurant. So many things to try and eat, everything is good. Must try their Chaufa de Pollo (Chicken fried rice) and their Garlic Shrimp plate. But everything is good! Must try! read more

I was skeptical about this place at first as it was empty upon entering. I was offered some tea, that was too slimy for my liking. I also had the lomo saltado which was good, I've had better but again wasn't bad at all. The aguadito de pollo was really good though. Service was good, as the waiter was very attentive (probably because we were the only ones to serve lol). Not sure if this is a place I'd return to right away, maybe if I'm in the mood for some aguadito de pollo. read more

Parking for Machu Picchu was fairly easy on the street, and if you come after 6pm, you may even find free street parking! The inside was fairly quiet for a Wednesday evening, but the food did not disappoint! The staff were also extremely patient, since my friend and I weren't active speakers of Spanish. They started us with some bread and salsa; the salsa was new to me, but that green one slapped! We with the Papas a la Huancaina, and it exceeded my originally low expectations. (It's potatoes and cheese, a little hard to get excited over.) The potatoes were boiled to softness, and the cheese sauce, what's their secret? It was not super salty and packed quite a nice kick. If nachos were paired with these, the entire party bag will be gone! For dinner, I felt adventurous and had their Bistec a la Chorrillana. Everything was perfect as could be; the beef was juicy, tomatoes sweet, onions crisp - even the rice was fully finished! I looked over at my friend's Lomo Saltado... gone! The restaurant overall doesn't boast a large staff, but it's clear how attentive they are to all guests regardless of background. Paying may take a bit, so I recommend walking it up if in a rush. Overall a nice spot for a sit-down meal - will definitely be returning! read more

Machu-Picchu Peruvian Restaurant - Saltado Machu Picchu - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Grabbed a fantastic dinner here the other Friday. Ordered the lomo saltado (10/10) and Pescado de mixto (8.5/10). This food came out so fast, we could have ordered to go but I am so glad we stayed and enjoyed the lovely atmosphere. I'm sure that this place gets busy during lunch but for dinner it was efficient and lovely. We even snagged a parking spot out front. Will be back soon! read more

This is by far my fav Peruvian restaurant! They make the best chicken chaufa with amazing wok char- this is my fav fried rice and it tops all the Asian places I've tried. We come here often and love everything we've tried, from the steak plate to the tamale, and the fried platter and ceviche. Make sure to get the onions! Service is friendly and it's a cozy simple environment. Metered parking out front and a small lot in the back. read more

Machu-Picchu has slowly become of my favorite Peruvian spots in the valley. Let me start off by getting something off my chest that might hurt some feelings. Here it goes.... PERUVIAN FOOD is the best food in the world!!! Don't at me! Matter fact I'll run the fade for this. Just kidding I don't believe in violence, but we can settle this in Mario Kart. The restaurant is low key and parking lot can be confusing to find , but when you do you'll get it. The vibe is very relaxed somewhat authentic as far as how simple it is. Service depends on how many people are there, but overall they are attentive. They start you off with some dinner rolls and some sauces. Them sauces though!!! They make me want to sing Ashanti "Happy" and scream "My love, here to stay, won't ever leave...". And i truly feel that way. There's so many options on the menu but my go to is Lomo Saltado , Ceviche de pescado , and a side of Yuka a la huancaina. This combo will never fail you. This combination is like the Avengers of combination, even without Chris Evans. Low key I love Anthony Mackie but cmon Marvel!!! Y'all let me down. However Machu Picchu won't! Shoutout my Peruvians. Slides me some of them leaves for my tea if you see me though. Wink wink ** -Sir Charles Yelpington. read more

This place was so delicious. I ordered ceviche and it was very good. I love the fact that they put a sweet potato in the ceviche very good. The service was very good and a very, just a very quaint little place on Van Nuys Blvd. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for ceviche or any other thing on the menu Can't wait to go back read more

This place is as authentic as you can find in Los Angeles! I feel like I'm back in Peru enjoying home cooked excellence from my family kitchen. You will not regret dining here. Every dish is perfect. The restaurant itself is not fancy, but it's clean & comfortable & "real". I've been coming here for decades. Same familiar faces. Don't miss it! Jessyca Nygren read more

Machu-Picchu is our go to Peruvian restaurant. We had a large order that we needed shortly after their opening time and they were able to have it ready for us right on time. Every meal was perfectly packed with very large portions, they even included plates and extra sauce. Overall excellent service and as for the food, delicious is an understatement. read more

Food: Good taste and one of my favorite places to eat Peruvian food. Price: the prices have gotten way too expensive for a family of 4 and sadly this is going to affect the restaurant as they are other loca peruvian restaurants in the area with cheaper prices The Restaurant: the place is clean and presentable. I believe the restaurant just had a major renovation, (floors, walls and paintings) from what we could see. Staff: This is where they lack professionalism and attention. The waitress are not the best but they get the job done when you ask for thing (they don't smile but they will bring u the things you asked for) the man in the register seems very friendly but only chats with people he knows. Overall: The food is good and very tasty but the part that I would give it a 3 star is the new prices they been charging for traditional plates. You be the judge and make sure ur bank account is happy too. Cheers read more

Don't come here if you don't know Spanish they tried add extra items with my order and wanted me to pay for it. Didn't bother giving receipt to check order so I left. Third time already waste of time and gas rude customer service. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. We were quickly seated - there's an abundance of seating. Here's what we ordered: - maracuya drink: passion fruit drink. Very nice and tart. Tastes naturally sweetened (no weird taste) - chicha morada drink: idk what this is but highly recommend! It's sweet and refreshing. Perfectly complimented our meal - ceviche de mariscos: you can skip this imo. This was very heavy on the citrus and overwhelms the entire dish. - saltado machu picchu: never thought to add fries with meat and seafood but hey it works. This was perfectly seasoned. This was my first time eating Peruvian food - it was such a familiar mix of flavors with a new twist. Very chill vibes. read more

The best and most authentic Peruvian restaurant in the San Fernando valley: my family and I have been coming to this restaurant for 25yrs and it never disappoints. Plates sizes are more than decent. You cannot go wrong with the Jalea mixta or the arroz chaufa. The lomo saltado is also a must. The customer service is second to none. The servers are extremely courteous and efficient. Service is always fast. read more

My family and I have been going to machu pichu well over 20 years. I grew up with this food whenever we'd go out on special occasions. Extremely underrated restaurant, welcoming staff and fast service. My favorite dishes are the chaufa de mariscos and jalea mixta. You can never go wrong with their food. Hands down best Peruvian spot in SFV read more

Machu-Picchu Peruvian Restaurant - One of the best!! - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The food was excellent; everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I love coming here for their shrimp ceviche and their Lomo Saltado. However, we noticed the portions were noticeably smaller than we were accustomed to receiving here. While the quality certainly lived up to expectations, it was a bit disappointing to noticed the containers were way smaller than the containers they used the previous time I've order food from here. Hopefully, this was just a one-time change, as we'd love to come back for both the taste and value we've experienced in the past. If portion sizes were back to normal, this would be an easy five-star review! read more

This is my absolute favorite Peruvian Food restaurant, I've been here MANY times because is close to work and I'm telling ya'll! There is not a single item on the menu that is not delicious, every dish is the best version of that dish I've ever had. Trying this spot is a MUST! read more

Great Peruvian food. Came here once a week when I was pregnant and always had an amazing experience.

The food was very good and the service was good too. The portions were large and the flavors were quite good. My only complaints, and why I didn't give it 5 stars, was the inside is quite old looking/worn and dated, they have no alcohol license (so no alcoholic drinks), and the prices are extremely high. My wife and I had dinner for 2 with water only and it was $60 (pre-tip). Again, the food was good but I am not sure it was $60 worth. read more

I would highly recommend this restaurant! They earned all four stars for a combined rating for food and service. We ordered Saltado de Camrones, Arroz Chaufa de Camrones, Picarones and Inka Cola's. The saltado was fantastic, the rice was good, but could have used a bit more intensity w the flavor per my friend. I wasn't a fan of the Picarones but that's probably because I'm not a fan of Anise & molasses ... the flavors in this dish were too overpowering and left a bad taste in my mouth. None-the-less, happy we tried. I suggest you give this restaurant a shot yourself if you're interested in exploring solid, authentic Peruvian food w great customer service! read more
