The atmosphere is great for all occasions from business conversations to family. The food quality is very... More

I'm not a seafood fan, but I enjoyed the shrimp and rice at Machu Picchu on my first night in San Jose'. The portion was much more than I could eat, and many others in our group seemed quite pleased with their choices. The service was good, and the price was hard to beat - about $14 with a glass...

Typical restaurant for people from San Jose. The fish is always done to perfection and the ambience as well as the staff are always proffessional and courteous.

Machu Picchu is out of the "restaurant area" of central San Jose, down toward Sabana Park on 32nd calle, north a block from Central Avenue (turn north at the KFC!) The food is very good and the service is better. Other reviewers rave about the sea bass ceviche, and they're right! We also had the avocado with shrimp and the... More

Service is friendly and attentive. Order the ceviche it is fantastic. Really anything... More

We returned for a second meal at this restaurant. The first meal I had was piquant shrimp and the second was chicken with green rice. Both were very flavourful and well prepared. The restaurant was very close to our hotel, the Tryp Sabana.
