This is our favorite Peruvian restaurant, we go there almost every Sunday for breakfast! love the tamal de chancho, specially our little one! she can eat half of it! we have also gone for luch and dinner and we highly recommend the ceviche, and my personal favorite the seco de cabrito! Best peruvian food in Queens! read more

I'm peruvian i took my wife to Inti for lunch we had a groupon, the waiter told us we couldnt get what we order only the cheap dishes :/ wtf. the food is OK, anybody can cook better at home. Tres leches was a joke, peruvian food its way better than that! If you have a groupon u get smaller portions than the other costumers. MADUROS are not peruvian. I wouldnt recomend this restaurant to anybody. read more

I really don't understand the negative reviews. Me and my Peruvian-born friend come here all the time and the quality and taste of the food is literally UNMATCHED for the prices. Great sauces and I am a BIG fan of their Lomo Saltado! Yum! read more

Urubamba is a Peruvian Restaurant. Some food like arroz Chaufa and lomo Saltado are delicious. Anticucho something is good but most of the time they serve you burned . The worse are the waitress they are really unkind and rude. The worse service read more

I've been to Urubamba a few times and the food has never disappointed. For appetizers, I recommend the anticuchos which are portions of cow's or calf's heart marinated in an aji panca (peruvian hot pepper) based sauce and nicely grilled in wooden skewers. This is served with a nice Peruvian corn, grilled potatos and spicy green sauce. Another nice appetizer is "tiradito" (strips of white fish in yellow pepper sauce) which I would caution those of you not used to spicy food to stay away from it because it packs a delicious savory punch. For entrees you can't miss "Pescado a lo Macho" assorted seafood mixed in a spicy wine sauce served over a sea trout fillet. Do I need to say more? The one problem I have with the place is its service. A little slow and you have to make sure they bring the dishes in the order they are supposed to be served...appetizers first then entrees. Other than that the decor is enticing and clean and the portions very generous but not overwhelming. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST - DO NOT EAT HERE - FOOD IS HORRIBLE I dont understand the positive reviews here. The food at this place is horrible. The only good thing about this place is the fresh chichi morada and the decor. i always wanted to go here because of the reviews but because they do not serve sangria i always patronized other restaurants. so here i was on a work night looking for a quick bite with my Peruvian wife. We figured we would try it out. The decor inside is very nice and cozy, made us think that we were in for a treat. we ordered 2 apetizers papa la huancaina and a fish ceviche. The papa was tatsteless with runny sauce that was far from appetizing. the ceviche looked great but they ask you if you want mild or hot. we ordered hot we ALWAYS order hot anytime we get ceviche, unfortunately it was so damn hot that you couldnt taste anything except the sauce. no other flavors at all. they soaked it in this sauce and everything tasted the same. ok so we are still sitting there giving the place the benifit of the doubt and then the entree came. we orderred the parillada which is basically grilled meat with rice and beans. the rice and beans were average but the meat..OMG they bring you the dish on a grill plate and the meet is still sizzling...you would think that it would be delicious WRONG!!! it was sooo nasty. The half chicken was dry and actually tasted bad..it had flavor but it was just BAD. the small piece of Entrana was a bout 4 inches by 5 inches THIN, FLAT and RUBBERY as any steak i have ever eaten, there were also two shish kabobs with either liver or cow heart or something..i cant tell you because it just looked to nasty and dry to eat and last and definitely least there was a huge portion of tripe. now i dont eat tripe but i dont mind it being near my food. this stuff was such a big portion and it just looked sooo bad, just flat out nasty. the service was average and the waitress did not speak or understand 1 word of english. im caucasian but i am bilinguall, as is my wife who is peruvian. i always speak in english unless it makes things easier in spanish. i asked the waitress if they had sangria and she flat out ignored me and turned to me wife and told her in spanish that she doesnt understand english...i thought it was a bit ignorant and dissrespectful but it is what it is. my wife was also inquiring on how thier bottle service works and the waitress couldnt care to be bothered she just rushed away from us...there were only 3 other tables occupied...maybe she was cooking the slop too...who knows. all in all im very fair and take the bad with the good but this place doesnt even deserve a star...THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE. so the bill came and for 2 chichi's and 2 incas as well as 2 appetizers and a shared entreet it came out to $75.00, now people need to make a living no matter how bad thier service is so i threw the waitress a 10 on top of that, it kind of sucks paying for bad food and tipping for bad service on top of that but undertipping by 2 bucks may send a message but probably not..so for $85.00 i enjoyed a inca cola and a morada...i can only think of the poor souls who make 10 bucks an hour and then take a date here to spend more than a days pay on horrible food and bad service. i welcome any questions on this review because i would hate for someone elses night to be ruined by this place. thank goodness it wasnt an occassion and it was just me and my wife...16 hours after eating there my stomach is still not right. BAD BAD BAD..if you want good peruvian food you should try Pollo Inka, Tu Casa and even Pio Pio...but dont go here...the more i think about it the more my stomach turns and the more pissed i get...how can you screw up peruvian chicken in a peruvian restaurant. YUCK, just flat out DISGUSTING read more

In my opinion, food is ok, not superb. I have tried better Peruvian sazon, I lived in Peru for one month, so I know they real Peruvian flavor. Peru has the best food in Latin america! However the main reason I give them two starts is for their service. The first time I was there the waiter look like he had just roll out of bed plus he didn't seem to want to be there, he looked hangover and like he just wanted to get his shift over with. The second time I was there, the waitress was a little better but like the first (the waiter) forgot simple little things that a good waiter should know (I have worked as a waitress before) like asking if you want water! They were a littke unpleasant as well, had to keep calling to get drinks and the restaurant wasn't even busy. I did not like the service, I like the decor and everything but the service could be ALOT better. Price is ok. read more

It's not authentic Peruvian food. The seasoning there is none. Papa a la hauncaina the sauce was not good at all. The lomo saltado again no seasoning it's over priced for the quality of there food. read more

We arrived at close to 2pm on Sunday and it was almost full. Nice ambiance. We had fish ceviche to start. It was fresh, tasty, and much better than any ceviche I had in Manhattan, particularly it was no comparison to Panca in West Village where I had visited a few weeks before. For entree we had crispy white fish in with sauteed vegetables and liver stew. The fish dish had a very good and light flavor but was pretty sophisticated. Liver stew too was tender and did not have any strong bloody taste. Easily one of the best Peruvian restaurants in the New York area. read more

i love homemade food and this could be a place of choice. unfortunely the service is one of the worst i ever experience. the food is not that great. its ok. its cheap. but im sure you can find quality food with great service for the same price. todas las mañanas venia por mi respectivo desayuno con chicharron y la verdad pense que no habia otro lugar para probar algo de mi peru. lamentablemente el servicio es muy pobre. no soy de escribir al menos que sea algo demasiado bueno. en este caso es demasiado malo. el servicio nada profesional y los pedasos de chicharron todos secos y quemados. hay mejores lugares con ese precio. no lo recomiendo para nada. read more

Fantastic food, gargantuan portions, sweet service. We had the wonderful steak, a giant Peruvian paella and small (yet quite large) mussel soup. All great. My friend reports that lamb stew and shrimp chowder on a previous visit were also excellent. If you are looking for a bargain, split a dinner entree, they're enormous. read more

Seriously amazing food. Some of the best puervian food ive ever had. The service was good as well. Very attentive and huge plus its b.y.o.w. Can't get any better then that! read more

I had trouble deciding whether to rate this 2 or 3. I came with two "locals" who raved about the cerviche which is the only dish they usually order. Maybe it was an off day, but I wasn't impressed and it took a long time to come out. The fish was fresh but the flavors were off. I preferred the tiradito which focused on the fish, but the fish was cut in long (4" or 5") slabs. For my main, I had the tripe (cau cau) based on past reviews, but it was a little intestine-y for me. The taste eventually grew on me but I would not order this dish again. To drink, we had the chicha morada which was too sweet but I had to try since I missed my opportunity in Peru. The highlight of the meal was the ice cream. Unfortunately I forgot the name of local fruit, but it had a caramel like taste which was not too sweet and soft. I found it odd that it was served in a paper cup but I would had gladly ordered a second to go. Overall, this restaurant had a nice atmosphere, large portions, reasonable prices, but slow service. read more

Amazing Peruvian food is as good as pio pio if not better. and you have more options on the menu to select from. The only complaint I could muster up was that the green sauce was just not up to par w/ the closest competion PIO PIO. But they have a much shorter wait time so if your in a rush this is the spot to go to, and you won't regret it. read more

Fish ceviche is to die for! I could live off that stuff it's beyond delicious. Fresh and tasty! I wish the portion was a little bigger because I always find myself hungry after having it. The chicha is also the perfect drink to have. This place gets crowded on the weekends but it's so worth the wait, the brunch they have on the weekends is also a great way to start off the day. Peruvian cuisine is one of my absolute favorites and this place knows how to do it right! read more

This place is so good! Everything is freshly made and it's so bomb. You must try the ceviche mixto and the lomo saltado!! Honestly the best Peruvian spot I've been too. It's such a wonder atmosphere and everyone is really kind. Highly recommend :) read more

Amazing place and area, food is absolutely fantastic. Service as well fantastic, highly recommend anyone who would like to to enjoy some amazing Peruvian food read more

Came here recently after giving up on Pio Pio (service sucked). What a nice place. Food's great. Service was fine. Staff was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back. Strange thing, no booze but they encourage you to bring you're own?? read more

Overall the best peruvian restaurant in new york...The food here is amazing great ambiance and service. As a peruvian I can say that overall this place is tops..my only drawback would be no alcohol I can't understand why a restaurant would not want a liquor license. ..it's a little weird when you have to bring in alcohol from outside. ..but besides that thumbs up read more

I live on the same street with this restaurant. Being peruvian myself I always try to help my fellow paisanos... Well unfortunately, in my opinion this place should not recieve a dime! I ordered a family breakfast combo about a year ago and usually every other peruvian restaurant would give you bread with this family breakfast or really any breakfast. Now Urubamba decides to charge me 50 cents per bread.... I was sickened to how cheap they could be! They told me bread is only served to dine ins.... Ok cool. I have never stepped foot in that place again! I hope they are happy with the extra $2 because I can tell you they lost alot more from me. I will contonue to support my fellow Peruvians just not the stingy ones. read more

I live in the neighborhood and usually go to Anzuelo Fino because it is closer to home but I decided to come here after a peruvian friend recommended it. I had a chupe de camarones and a fish Ceviche. The chupe was not that savory at first but after adding some lemon drops and ají it was marvelous! The Ceviche was really fresh and on point, fresher than anything I've had at Anzuelo Fino. I will be coming back because I am eager to try the Lomo Saltado! Overall, good experience but nothing spectcular. read more

It was very pleasant not only because a good prepared meal but a nice place and a prompt attention. The bath was also clean and comfortable

One word of CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION: this establishment will try to make you tip twice! Be careful, and look at the check they bring you at the end of your meal. It will include a %15 tip in the total. Then, when the waiter brings you the cc receipt to sign, it will have a line for you to add the tip on top of the price that already includes the tip. I was so furious when I discovered this, that it ruined my whole experience at Urubamba. And it wasn't like I was part of a big party, it was a table of 2 persons. So i could only imagine how much extra money they are making with this little scam from people that do not look at their check. Now moving on to the food and price. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. The seafood dish (jalea) was fresh, and delicious; but my main dish (aji de gallina) was on the dry and bland side. The prices are reasonable, and compare to other restaurants in the area. As of July 30, 2011 Urubamba did not have a liquor license. But I saw customers drinking wine, so call ahead and ask if you could BYOW/B. read more

A bit out of the way for us manahattanites but literally some of the best peruvian food you could ask for!!! and a pan con chicharron on a sunday brunch.... uffffff.... life doesn't get better =))))) read more

Waiting time is ridiculous. The premises need to be renovated. Some menu dishes are expensive for the quality of food. The yuca is frozen

SCAMMERS! A check SCAM here. We got the bill and a 15% tip was included/mandatory for a party of 4. Total bill $149 which included $18 tip, the 15% of around $128, although they had you tip on the tax too so it was more than 15%. BUT on getting back the credit card slip to sign, the $149 was called "pretip total" and there was a line to put a tip. Trying to trick the customer into leaving 15% on top of the $149 total that already included a 15% or more tip! If I had more to drink I'd probably have missed it. I pretty sure this is not legal. Roasted chicken was dry too. read more

This is the place with the worst food. It seems like the real Peruvian Chef has run away from the kitchen. The food was amazing years ago, I stopped visiting this Restaurant a few years ago when I requested a glass of water while reading the menu. 20 minutes passed the waitress came back to take the order without the water. The Service was always dreadful, but the food made up for these people who couldn't even get the order straight. One more chance I gave to the Restaurant yesterday June 6, 2018 brought my Sister to celebrate her birthday, My Mom and niece. I ordered Pescado a lo Macho, was warm not hot for $24 I was given 1/2 A slice of a fish fillet the sides has 4 baby shrimps 4 empty small clam shells the red sauce was like tomato sauce poured on top no flavor at all. 2 Mixed Cebiches ordered not completely cooked in lime 3 pieces of corn on each side taste was disgusting. Hen Soup for $12 this was a piece of thigh with long spaghetti noodle 6 pieces of potatoes Soup also lightly warm, Only one male server, which was paying more attention to his boyfriend on another table. We had no napkin, requested a Seafood rice made in an aluminum pan had no flavor only peas and lots of carrots. Requested the check most of the food remained in the plates. Asked for check, waiter had no questions for the uneaten food. Yet the check had his waiter fee of 15% added $20 to the bill $170.00. Paid for a disgusting cold no flavor food and to see the male waiter with all his attention to his boyfriend. This was the worst day of our lives snd my Sister Birthday. Please do not eat here, there are better places that serve Good and Hot food not read more

I love Peruvian food and have been wanting to check out Urabamba for a while now since I live in the neighborhood. Came here with some friends on a Saturday night around 730pm. We were seated pretty quickly at the last table in the back of the restaurant. I glanced at the yelp reviews before ordering and noticed it was BYOB so I asked the waitress to confirm. She said yes, it is BYOB so I went to a nearby liquor store and grabbed a bottle of wine. I was the sole person who drank at my table and I only asked for one wine glass. I ordered the entrana with tallarin verde and my friends ordered a beef fried rice and the beef cilantro stew over rice. Then we waited. And waited. And around 20 minutes after ordering, the waitress came back over with some of the crispy corn kernel things I love. I found this to be weird because other Peruvian restaurants usually provide them right after ordering. Then we waited for about 10 more minutes and finally asked the waitress what the status of our food was. We didn't order any appetizers so the entrees should not have taken that long. The waitress simply gestured at the restaurant and said that there was a delay. We had an event to attend that evening so we were anxious that we would not get our food in time to make it on time to the event. We informed the waitress of this and she said she would check on the food. Then she came back and said it would be ready in 5 minutes. So after approximately 45 minutes of waiting, we finally received our food which we scarfed down in 15 minutes because we were starving. The food was decent. Not the best I've had, but solid. My friend said she wishes her cilantro stew had some actual cilantro in it as the flavor was no sufficiently cilantro-y as advertised. We didn't really get to enjoy it because we had to leave ASAP to make our event. The waitress should have came over and told us that there was a delay in the food because then I would have been to coordinate being late to my event. Instead we waited a long time and had to inquire in order for the food to arrive. I probably would have also ordered an appetizer if I knew that there was a delay in the kitchen. Finally, when we asked for the bill, we noticed a $5 charge for "servicio de chorcho" or something like that so I asked the waitress about it. She said it was a corking fee and I stated that she did not inform me about it when I asked her if the restaurant is BYOB. The waitress simply stated that the corking fee is stated on the menu. I asked her to show me and she did. But my problem with this is that if I asked her if the restaurant is BYOB, I clearly did not know about the corkage fee and I think she should have informed me of that because I would not have purchased the bottle if I knew there would be a corking fee since I was the only one drinking. The food doesn't make up for the bad service so I will unfortunately not be coming back here. read more

It was worth the travel since i live very far, the food is delicious amd service was great. Even though the server was busy we had the busser helping us out and he was super helpful. The chicha morada is so good its my favorite, unfortunately the surtido which is very popular smoothie/juice here its always finish when I come here I guess you have to come very early to order some before it runs out, I havent had any good luck Hoping one day. The Parrilla criolla was my favorite as a starter the seasoning was on point full of taste from the grill loves it and then ordered for entree the chicken with rice fries and home salad must say it was good and what made it even better was their hot sauce. Absolutely recommend. read more

it's a very nice place in queens, first time i have peruvian food ,taste really good,the seafood is fresh. the portions is big and the prices is ok i will come again read more

Oh man did I want to like this place. Such a cozy feel and fast friendly service. But my God was the food awful. My tallarín verde was the worst I have ever had. The bistec apanado was horrible. My husband's entraña tasted like it had gone bad. And our fried calamari was just fried greasy bread crumbs. The waitress noticed our disappointment and offered to not charge us for the tallarín. She was lovely. Avoid at all cost, this area has much better Peruvian cuisine at a much better price. This place is also pretty pricy. read more

Love this place! My favorite Peruvian restaurant in Jackson heights, the breakfast is super yummy and so is the lomo Saltado.

Nihilism is a poor basis for a society or an economy. Not caring about anything is no way to go through life son; and it's no way to make Peruvian grub either. This place has been around for a while but I never went because of the B from the health department. Do you know how hard it is to get a B from the health department? That's just not trying. Speaking of not trying, everything was slow. Although there were empty tables, I had to wait until a table for one opened up; you know in case there was gonna be a stampede. After ten minutes I got seated and got a mostly Spanish language menu. No mercy for the gringo. Anyhow I stumbled my way through it and settled on steak and eggs. This led to the following convo; "Does it come with rice and beans?" "No, sorry." "I don't drink coffee. Do you think I can have juice or hot chocolate instead?" "No sorry," Speaking of sorry, the bread came out. The top looked so inviting; alas the whole thing was a mealy mush, tasteless and gritty. I considered pulling a dine and dash right there but stuck it out. My reward was a smallish, flavorless, slightly fatty cut of beef and two fried eggs. I soaked up the juices with the bread of affliction. read more

Excellent traditional peruvian with authentic flavors. Very delicious. Great service!

Hmm. This was a long wait....but well worth it! Tacu tacu YUM! The waitress has a good sense of humor.

Came for lunch around 2:30, and it was surprisingly crowded. Good food, good value, service was normal, but above par considering there was only one waiter taking care of about 20 people. Portions are good sided. Will repeat. read more

Food is basic, nothing special and very very very poor service. Definitely not coming back and will not recommend.

I really love their mussel for appetizer and Paella for entree.

This place is great, used to be called Inti Raymi before and moved two stores down. Waiters and waitresses could be a little nicer and have less attitude but aside from that everything I have tried is excellent! read more

Food very delicious but that service really bad I have my entire dinner that waiter come to that table one time only nope water nothing at all... read more
