Some of you might be wondering what Machu Picchu is, and some of you might already know what it is. But for those who do not, it is a well preserved pre-columbian Inca ruin located at 7,970 feet on a mountain ridge located at the Urabamba Valley in Peru. The decor was modest, with huge paintings of local Peruvian sceneries, artifacts, a map of South America, clearly showing Peru's geographical location, and a flag displayed at the front of the restaurant with the Machu Picchu Peruvian Restaurant sign in San Mateo, California. For appetizers, we had the mouth-watering Ceviche de Mariscos , a seafood mix marinated in fresh lemon juice with sliced onions, sweet potato and corn, followed by Antichucos , cubed beef heart marinated in a very special peruvian sauce in skewers (with just the perfect timing of cooking ) so tender and delicious. Lomo Saltado,juicy strips of beef loin sauteed in tomatoes, onions, and sweet potato fries for our main course, followed by sips of Chicha Morada
