Urubamba: Reviews & Ratings
I've been wanting to come to Urubamba for a really long time and it did not disappoint! I was so happy to see so many authentic Peruvian dishes and not just pollo a la brasa(Rostisserie chicken), they even have Helado de Lucuma, which is ice cream from a fruit only found in the Andeas!
Love this cozy, festive restaurant. Food is delicious, although I have to admit, my usual order is tamal, arroz chaufa & mini jalea .. can't deviate from it. My parents have had their soups & liked them. Sangria could be priced lower but it's delicious! Service has always been good, I've been going for years.
Had a lovely brunch‼ Excellent, attentive and friendly service by Leonardo. He is very good. I thoroughly enjoyed Chupe de camarone, Papa Rellena and Tres leches‼ The room was busy, nice music ( not loud) and above all- nice air conditioning to be in with brutal heat wave outside . Will def go back.
The restaurant was clean and spacious. Our server was extremely attentive, but not overbearing. The dishes came out in a timely manner. The ceviche mixto was really tasty and came in a nice portion, but could use more cilantro and more acid, but that's just my personal preference. The Papa Rellena was also really good, but I wish the side of onions were pickled, instead of raw. If the onions were pickled, this dish would've been a home run. The Anticuchos (grilled veal hearts) were cooked to perfection. I couldn't taste the marinade, but it was delicious nonetheless. All the seafood in the Pescado a Lo Macho were cooked properly. Nothing was overcooked, which happens pretty often with a mixed seafood plate. The spicy wine sauce it was cooked in was also very good. Every dish was cooked expertly, but nothing was spectacular. Overall, a really solid, enjoyable meal.
It's a shame I haven't visited here before even though I've lived here for almost my whole life! Came here with a friend to catch up and so glad we came here! The restaurant highlights Peruvian food and does an excellent job with seafood. The paella was a big hit. The steak was ok - it didn't feel as complete as the paella, still good but felt a bit more flat compared to the larllwhich I can only rave about. If I only had to rate the paella would give 5 stars but then would be an incomplete since only tried 1 dish out of all the other dishes! Highly recommend the paella if you ever decide to come here! Very packed full of flavor and good texture.
