The food was delicious! The octopus, the papa a la huicaina, the fries were my favorite . The salad and the dressing were amazing....that dressing was SO yummy I even dipped my fries in it....the shrimp in the chaufa was so tasty! We were visiting for a short while in this town. The service was great...everyone especially our waitress, was welcoming and checked in routinely. We will be returning when we are in this area again! read more

This place was extremely good. The food tastedamazing and very authentic. I would 100% recommend the gastronomic experience and try typical foods from other places. The ambiance is very nice with music and authentic decorations as well. The bad is that the service was ok nothing bad or good, just ok. There is no water and they definitely charge for it ($4), it is the first time that I experience this. I also did not like that even thought it was only two of us, they automatically place a 15% tip on the receipt and several taxes. If this is something that you don't like, you might be able to say something, but if you don't like bringing this up, I would avoid the place all together. The food is great though. read more

Came here from a friends suggestion. They opened the week of July 4th. We walked in to a very colorful entrance, which I appreciate. I love the puervian culture. We were seated asap. Everyone is super nice and attentive. We ordered our main winners - roasted chicken (came with fries), fried yucca, chaufa mixto, Lomo Saltado. Puervian chicken is always a win and comes with fries and green sauce on the side. I love chaufa - we got the mixto;chicken, beef, shrimp. I love it when they use basmati rice! Gives the dish a nice texture. Lomo Saltado was awesome and I was just dipping everything in the sauce it came with! Portions are huge, prices are great! Definitely a must try! We'll be back soon! read more

In Howell Township, you will find yourself in the tiptop of the restaurants of the plaza. Brand: 5/5 Macchu Picchu Delights opened months ago, and I will say that it makes a good first impression. The brand definitely shines for this establishment from the exterior to the interior. The Peruvian aesthetics synchronizing Spanish and indigenous culture provides a prominent placement in this plaza. Even when it becomes seasonally-aware, the establishment manages to celebrate Christmas in their own way. Ambiance: 4/5 You are greeted with a large dining area with Peruvian music settling you in. Nothing felt out of place, since you feel at home. The dimmed lights can bring about a cozy vibe, though for this instance, I did think that it would have benefited from more lighting. The seats felt comfortable. Service: 5/5 The staff made sure that we enjoyed our experience and asked us if we needed anything. Wait Time: 5/5 I wrote an entire page in my notebook with medium amounts of lines before my order arrived. Considering the size of the dish, I will say that the wait time matched the preparation. As such, no unnecessary issues or delays happened. Food: 4/5 I ordered the fried rice with chicken, with water including a free refill. While the brown rice did have a hard chew, they definitely bring about the hearty dish, while the well-cooked chicken emphasized the taste. The peas and green onions complement the taste well. I did think that the dish could have had more chicken and less rice. As for the form, the dish contained so much abundance, I had to eat it for lunch, and save it for dinner. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The menu items definitely reflect Peruvian cuisine, and as such I can see how they can be delights, though I have yet to find any substantial amounts of desserts. Needless to say, every part of the aesthetic works with the food, down to the flower placed upon my dish. They do match the music and make you feel immersed. The staff ensure that the food is prepared for, and the wait time was definitely appropriate for the time it took to make it. For a brand with vivacious colors, the dimmed lights really do a disservice to not show them in their glory. The staff ensure that the ambiance has festive yet calm substance. As such, the wait time did not feel cumbersome. I would greatly recommend the establishment to create their own website, since there are numerous Peruvian restaurants across America with "Macchu Picchu" in their names. It would especially help the establishment if the aesthetics that make the interior shine would extend to the website itself. Concerning color scheme, they should absolutely reflect the warm, cozy color scheme of the ambiance, while also incorporating the fading color as mystique as Macchu Picchu itself. I would consider Macchu Picchu Delights my second choice, just to support my local businesses and introduce myself more to Peruvian culture and cuisine. Would I say that the fried rice with chicken was worth more than $20? Perhaps if I wanted to fill myself up for the day, however if I am simply looking for a quick meal, then I probably would look elsewhere. As such, another suggestion would be to offer smaller versions of the dishes for a cheaper price, particularly if they wish to attract customers completely unfamiliar to Peruvian cuisine. Rating: 4/5 Stars For a business just starting, I will say that Macchu Picchu Delights manages to do most things right. While the relevance of the restaurant must become more pronounced, I can say that it is off to a good start. Recommend To... Anyone interested in Peruvian culture and cuisine. read more

I'm glad I stopped by. I didn't expect it to be this good! The food tasted so fresh. I'll definitely come back again.

We had dinner here last week, group of 7. First off, service from Brad and a young lady was exceptional, great service and they answered all our questions. The food was equally exceptional, calamari was perfect crunchy outside and tender inside. Ceviche and fried fish was good as well, but the dish that stole the show was the chaufa mariscos (seafood). This was not like any other chaufa from the other Peruvian restaurants in Freehold, this was way above. Sort of like a seafood paella with a touch of lemon, perfection. Came back a few days later to pickup a pork chop lunch set, also very good. read more

We had dinner here last night party of 7, and everything was fantastic. The service was exceptional, thanks to Brad and a young lady. The food was equally amazing, from the pollo with green sauce, the calamari was perfect, ceviche was delicious. But the one that stole the show was their chaufa seafood. It was unlike any of the chaufas from other Peruvian restaurants in Freehold, this was on another level. Very moist, almost like a paella, and not dry like the others, and they squeeze lemon over it, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, my new favorite Peruvian restaurant, and we will be back for more. Thank you, Machu Picchu staff and cooks. Sorry, no pictures, forgot to take any, too busy eating..... read more
