    Seafood tower
    Sharon W.

    We ventured in snowy Friday afternoon for a late lunch. Thanks to our lovely host by the name of Alex who is quite knowledgeable and passionate about Peruvian food and history. We asked questions and he made recommendations. They have free Peruvian beers and a number of Peruvian cocktails Pisco based your handcrafted and well balanced. In addition they have other bottles of beer and wine by the Glass or bottle. There are a few Peruvian restaurants in the area, flea Massachusetts and New York City are the closest. We enjoyed the appetizer, which is beef Heart screens perfectly done and tender with roasted Peruvian corn and baby red potatoes with a lovely Peruvian spicy sauce. Looks like a fajita coming out. We split the Peruvian seafood tower, which could really feed four! . The tiger shots are basically a milky, salty ceviche shot which was a little warm and salty but everything was fresh and tasty. On the top of the tower is assortment of lightly fried Yucca, plantains, trace is back to store quarter to Aurora games calamari, white squid, fish, shrimp garnished with lovely shavings of sweet potato and seaweed, don't miss those. On the bottom is on a bed of crushed ice three tiger shots, three green muscles and an assortment of octopus, squid, shrimp and calamari in a spicy ceviche with a chunk of lovely, sweet potato that's cinnamon seasoned which balances the heat. Little lovely dining experience I would recommend reservations because it is a small place and if you don't want to be rushed for dinner, a cozy yet streamline atmosphere with a full bar and personalized service. We will definitely be back two people for lunch with two drinks each, these appetizer and a seafood tower both split and containers to go! Maybe a little bit high-end, but the food is fresh and perfectly balanced and excellent service. It's hard to get Peruvian beer or drinks or food for that matter in this area. Even the plantains were done, perfectly, thin sliced, and the sauces were impeccable. Well done!

    Lomo Saltada - lunch
    Corie Y.

    A first visit of many to come! I have been patiently awaiting the opening of Quechua to add some variety to my lunch orders. I have had Peruvian food a few times and I've always loved it, so this opening right by my job was perfect! Today my office ordered take out for lunch and we were all blown away. I apologize for not having a gorgeous photo to share (yet) but don't let that fool you, this was an amazing dish. I ordered the Lomo Saltado - lunch portion. This is wok fried steak, onions and tomatoes, served with fried potatoes and white rice, the take out also came with a bright yellow sauce and crispy corn. I drizzled the sauce and sprinkled the corn and dug right in. Wow, the flavors in this dish run deep. The beef was marinated so well and it was tender, and the sauce that pooled on the bottom of the dish was delicious, mouthwatering, crave-able. The fries were perfectly seasoned and a bit greasy but in a REALLY good way, the rice was also perfectly seasoned and had a lot of flavor. Once you mixed everything together it was perfect. The yellow sauce was a great addition and I loved the added crunch of the corn. The flavors were just that of the other Peruvian dishes I have tried before, so I think they are keeping it authentic here. I cannot wait to return and try more of the unique dishes in the menu. This is going to be a staple for us moving forward. I LOVED IT.

    I highly recommend giving this place a try! The food was amazing and the portions were generous for the price. I got the paella and could not stop eating it (even well after my stomach begged me to stop). The waitress was very polite and seemed passionate about her job. She gave excellent recommendations for the food. The ambiance was quiet with dim lighting. It wasn't too noisy and made for a great evening out with a friend!

    I really enjoyed my partner's and my meal here -- the ambiance is lovely with a fresh and clean interior of soft green and gold accents, and the food was all-around delicious. I know Peruvian food is heavy on the meat and fish so I really appreciate Quechua putting a handful of vegetarian options on the menu. We started with the Papa a La Huancaina, which was a cold appetizer of potato and hard boiled egg covered in a creamy cheese sauce, it's a simple but delicious dish that's easy to share. My partner was intrigued by the Nikkei rolls that blend Japanese technique with Peruvian flavors so he tried the Acevichado roll. We appreciated the waiter letting us know that their remaining avocados were too hard so they didn't want to put them in the roll, but my partner did conclude that, while tasty without it, the avocado would have been a welcome texture addition -- we do commend their commitment to quality control though! We ordered two of their vegetarian dishes and both were hits! The Vegetable Chaufa might sound just like Japanese fried rice but it has a distinct smokey flavor that I really enjoyed. My favorite bite of the night was the Vegetable Tacu Tacu -- I loved the blend of crispy on the outside but soft on the inside rice and canary beans and the cilantro beer sauce is a lovely pairing for the vegetables it comes with -- it will probably be my go-to dish here. We ended our meal with the Arroz con leche which had wonderful cinnamon flavor, but I would suggest that they remove the large cinnamon sticks before serving, having to fish them out while you're enjoying your dessert is not the most pleasant. Quechua cocktail menu is equally as fun as their food menu with several Pisco based signature cocktails and classic cocktails to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed my purple corn sour which had a great balance of sour and sweet. tl;dr: Quechua is a lovely addition to the Capital Region dining scene. I look forward to returning!

    Great place to grab dinner. Authentic Peruvian cuisine and fusion sushi dishes as well. Our server was a polite young man who was very attentive to all of his tables. The vibes there are nice. You can go casual or dressy. I loved the drinks also. I had the pescado a lo macho. My date had the lomo saltado. We had a furai maki for our appetizer, which was a fried salmon roll. I would give them 5 stars, but my dish was advertised as red snapper and being an island girl I could tell that it was not in fact red snapper. It was possibly a bronzini, which I do not prefer. I was afraid it was tilapia when I saw it, but it wasn't. I would definitely return to try some other menu items! I think I'll stay away from any fish dishes here next time.

    Pisco Sour cocktail
    Claudia L.

    I have been wanting to try this place forever and finally had an opportunity to go last Saturday. It was amazing! The restaurant is cute and casual and the service was excellent. We started with Pisco Sour cocktails which were refreshing. I had the Leche de Tigre as an appetizer which I highly recommend - delicate pieces of white fish and Peruvian corn marinated in lime juice and spices - yummy! For the entree, I had the Tiradito Aji Amarillo - excellent! My dinner companions ordered the ceviche al rococo with seafood - delicious and spicy and a filet mignon dish made in a wok that was out of this world. The menu is expansive and includes Japanese and Peruvian fusion dishes. Upscale eating in a casual ambiance - I'll definitely be back!

    Jem B.

    Wow where am i in Queens!??? lol sorry Cap region you have disappointed me (except for Ali Baba, Great Indian Kitchen, Mazadar, Shams Al Yemen). The Leche Tigre is amazing perfect seasoning, delicious flavor, love the small plantain chips the crispy corn and white corn, octopus cooked perfectly tender well season and wow, never had beef heart and it was amazing almost like skirt steak and the chimichurri sauce bomb damn makes me sad that I'm leaving now but definitely will be back when in the area! Wonderful service by Adalia & football player in the front!

    Arroz con Mariscos
    A T.

    It's hard to pick a favorite when every bite of food delights, but that is exactly the challenge presented by Quechua in Watervliet, named after the indigenous people of the Andean mountains and the language they speak. The restaurant is tastefully renovated, with an inviting patio that we are looking forward to trying along with, perhaps, a soup or rustic stew from the menu once the weather cools. The friendly staff ensured that our drinks, an appetizer, two main dishes, and a trio of desserts were timed perfectly. Newcomers to Peruvian cuisine can sample with confidence; we watched enticing dish after enticing dish travel to a large party nearby, each selection beautifully plated. We anticipate sampling more Peruvian cuisine at this wonderful local restaurant, and plan to return often.

    Arroz Con Mariscos
    Annie F.

    I finally made it to Quechua! I'm so happy this Peruvian restaurant opened in the Capital Region. The ambiance and decor are divine as is the menu. There are so many incredible options to choose from, which just means I'll have to continue to go back and try more things! To start, I ordered the red Sangria, which perfectly complimented the food. I knew I wanted to try one of the sushi rolls, so I decided on the Ostion Roll - shrimp furai, avocado and ostion sauce. It was good and the creamy sauce was a nice addition. For my entree, I ordered the Arroz con Mariscos - their signature Peruvian seafood Paella rice. I'm a huge Paella lover so this was up my alley for sure. The calamari, shrimp and mussels were absolutely delicious in the creamy rice. It was perfection! The way it was plated was also fantastic and so pretty. While I didn't have any room for dessert, like I said earlier, I'm definitely excited to go back and try more things. The service was a little slow for a Friday evening but the staff were friendly and helpful at answering any questions. Highly recommend!!

    I couldn't wait to try this place and it did not disappoint! My son and I went for lunch. We went when they had just opened so the place was empty but as we sat there people started to arrive. The atmosphere is relaxing and attractive. The service was professional and friendly. We ordered entrees from the lunch menu and an appetizer from the extensive regular menu. We chose a Japanese/Peruvian sushi roll. It was so delicious. My favorite thing we ordered! So flavorful with garlic oil and maki. I can't wait to try more seafood next time. My son got a fried chicken cutlet. It was perfectly crispy and came with steak type fries and a nice salad with creamy dill dressing. My steak dish was tender and flavorful with rice and more of the fries. My son got a purple juice drink with sweet corn that tasted earthy and good. The food is not inexpensive but what is at this time. I look forward to getting ceviche next time!

I'm…read morepretty sure it's a family run restaurant, as I could hear children in the back of the building. The menu features all the different types of cuisine you would expect in a Peruvian restaurant: Peruvian/Hispanic, stir-fries, and pasta dishes. Fish also features very heavily on the menu, which of course means many ceviche options too. We started with roasted corn nuts brought to our table, followed by beverages of limeade and purple corn beverage which was mildly sweet with cinnamon added. Our entrees were fairly simple, a beef stir-fry with fried rice, and grilled chicken on french fries with rice and salad. These came out quickly. The portions were more than adequate, and my simple side salad was better than similar side salads I've gotten at fancier restaurants. Small bottles of yellow and red sauces are provided to spice up your meal: yellow for fairly spicy, and red for REALLY spicy. For me, the yellow sauce was perfect for my chicken and my rice. Meals here seem like dishes you would have visiting family and friends in Peru, and I would not be surprised if Mi Bandera already has a loyal set of customers they would consider family and friends.

    The advertising sign at the front of the restaurant highlights pupuseria and Latino food. OK,…read morethat's what I ordered. Pupusa - El Salvadorian specialty - griddled corn masa cake. Other ingredients like cheese, beans, greens, and/or meats are mixed into the masa and cooked on a flattop until crisp on the outside. Since the "mixins" are varied, these are made to order. I had a Revuelta (queso, chicharron, beans) and a queso loroco (flower bud of a vine which grows in Central America). The tastiest portion for me were the almost burnt caramelized cheese bits on the outside of the pupusa. Honestly, the loroco was more of a textural component rather than a taste. It seemed mild. I'm sure they were canned. I don't think loroco grows around this area. The pupusas were served with a cabbage slaw (curtido) and a light tomato salsa. Pernil - a marinated pork shoulder, slow roasted until tender then usually blasted with high heat to render crispy skin (cuero). Slow roasted tender pork - yes. Rendered crispy skin - no. The generous portions of yellow rice and refried black beans rounded out the meal. One thing I noticed, the refried beans had a very slight sour note, vinegar or age, I don't know. I still ate them. No ill effects. Conclusion: I'd go again.
