El Cuadro — Restaurant in Distrito de Cusco

Soup heaven! 😅

I stumbled upon this place after not being able to find the restaurant I'd originally planned on. The menu won me over when I saw they had a full page of soups. I LOVE soup and seek to try local soups wherever I visit. The three i tried (over the course of two visits) were all very tasty! The portions were tasty and massive! The pricing at the restaurant is very reasonable for both food and drinks. I liked it so much that I brought a friend back for drinks later that evening and returned for lunch the following day. The service was fast, friendly, and extremely accommodating, from the owner all the way down to the man on the street drumming up business. I honestly can't recommend this restaurant...

I came to Peru to hike the Inca Trail. My friends and I had supper here our first night in Cusco. The food was Delicious! I had the Pollo a La Parilla. It was so clean, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. It was a great meal to have the day before the hike. The porch was a great location and overlooks a plaza.

The restaurant was so good my friends and I returned after our hike and got different entres. They were amazing as well! I got the Trucha Al Cuadro and the Ceviche. So delicous and the flavors were so unique. (There were sautéed grape slices on top!)

Our server Alex took great care of us. I recommend without any...

The food was good, nothing spectacular, but good. The service, not so much. We ordered drinks when we were seated and 45 minutes later the food arrived but still no drinks. Four of us ordered water but apparently there were only 2 bottles on hand so we had to share. I don't know if they were short staffed but the restaurant was practically empty so one server could easily have handled it even though we had two guys taking orders and serving. They just didn't seem to know what they were doing. If you want to sit and relax with all the time in the world to wait...
