Great Restaurant und perfect for a quite Dinner! They can give you great Glutenfree options!We were there around 10pm (quite late for peruvian restaurants). I recommend the Menu of the day where you can pick from a list of different starters, main courses and desserts! There was even a small glass of Maracuja Sour on the house for appetiser!Best Quinoa Soup I've had in Peru!

Very Very good :-)Really liked the food thereAfter the soup we were too full to have a main, but we tried Arroz con Leche which also really was very good.On top, we enjoyed the friendly staff.

Simply superb! The Peruvian dish I experienced, “Aji Galinz”, was wonderful! Add professional friendly service, combined with exceptional presentation...this quaint restaurant is a “must do” when in Cusco! Cheers …

Wonderful place to eat Peruvian food. If you are brave, try the Cuy (Guinea Pig). It is served with flair and will give you something to talk about for years.

This restaurant was absolutely delicious & very quaint. I was recommended by a local. I was very impressed. Surprisingly, I was the only person in the restaurant! The staff was great as well. My Spanish is not very good but menu was in both Spanish & English. My waiter’s English was good. He recommended the guinea pig but wasn’t ready to try that! I did have the shredded chicken salad/appetizer (amazing!) and tried the alpaca (one in the sauce) I’m really happy I came here!PS my bill was 81 sol (cocktail, app & entree)

In Cusco for the first night and decided to try Don Carlos Resturant. We decided to try Cuy (Guinea Pig) for the first time. The presentation of the Cuy was excellent and the Cuy itself had a good flavor. The ceviche was delicious. The rest of the food was on par with menu prices. Overall, happy we stopped for dinner.

Delicious, the price a little high but completely legitimate for the quality of the food, the service, and the place. I really appreciated the friendliness of the server and his courtesy was very pleasant.
