Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu on Somerville Avenue serves Peruvian food in Union Square, with a menu that goes well beyond ceviche. Lomo saltado combines stir-fried sirloin, onions, and tomatoes with both fries and rice. Ají de gallina brings shredded chicken and potatoes in a creamy ají amarillo sauce, while tallarines verdes pairs spinach-basil pasta with chicken or steak.

Seafood choices include lime-cured haddock ceviche and a mixed fried seafood platter. Vegetarian dishes include a squash-and-potato stew and pasta, so a shared table has several directions to take. Reservations, takeout, delivery, and catering are available. The restaurant advertises live Andean music on select Thursdays; call to confirm the date before making music the reason for your visit.
