Cheap and good

Close to Mercado San Pedro (8min walk). For only 9 soles, you get soup, salad, main dish, dessert and juice.
Mainly locals. It gets crowded.

Hard to beat!

For 9 Soles you get a soup, salad buffet, main dish, and a drink. HUGE portion size. Incredibly tasty and not oily at all. You can choose the main out of three options. It's so nice to experience local cuisine that is made vegan. Many vegan places in Cusco are much more expensive and geared towards foreigners. Whereas this gem here is filled with locals. Once we ate here, it was hard justifying eating elsewhere!!

Pros: Local cuisine , Portion size, very healthy!

Delicious, big portions. Beware of Cilantro.

The meal was great and we couldn't eat it all. Many locals. Service seems a bit slow. If you don't like cilantro you should tell them.

Pros: Delicious , Big portion, Low price

Cons: Bad lighting, Slow service

Lovely food

Nice local restaurant, serving vegetarian Peruvian meals. Very cheap (8 soles for soup main tea). It's just outside the touristy center, but still in a very bustling area. Highly recommended.

Pros: Three choices for mains, Totally vegetarian menu, Many locals

Cons: Could use a bit more spice

Bom e honesto

Pequeno restaurante com almoço vegano. O menu com entrada, prato principal e bebida é barato e a comida bem servida. Os sucos mistos, que se pedem à parte, são muito bons.

Pros: Comida , Preço, Sucos

Cheap and tasty

The menu of the day was only 7sol!! Included soup, mains course, salad buffet, dessert, mate tea and soya milk. There were 3 options for the main course, but by two-three o’clock they had only one option left. On the next day they were already closing before four.

Agradable comida

Pedí la cena para llevar y estuvo bastante buena, por 6 soles viene una sopita de verduras y pedí la opción de saltado de verduras como segundo, muy agradable.
El refresco era infusión de apio, por lo que tenía un sabor muy fuerte.

Pros: Económico

Good price, delicious food

The menu was 6 soles and they had a small salad buffet, kind attention and delicious food. Recommended!! I asked for vegan food, so they said they could give me.the soup what was vegan and the main dish would be served without the tortilla of vegetables because it had egg. I hope next time they have a more suitable service also for vegans like soy meat to replace the egg tortilla.

Pros: Price, Flavor, Kindness

Cons: Vegetarian focused, non vegan focused.

Friendly staff, very good value

For 5 soles we got a tasty dinner including a soup, a choice of 4 different main courses, bread and tea. Very friendly and fast service. Definitely good value! Would go again any time.

great for vegetarians, not so much for vegans

after explaining to the waiter that I'm vegan and what that means, he limited the daily menu down to the soup and a rice I could eat. So I agreed.
The rice I got served then still contained a lot of cheese, so I picked the cheese bits out and gave them to my vegetarian companian. Food is tasty and cheap, juices very good but this place made for vegetarians and since it's a set meal there's not really room for adjustments (leaving out cheese or egg)

Pros: cheap and local

Cons: not 100% food will be vegan

Great vegetarian restaurant, vegan options

The restaurant is a la carte and only serves one soup, one dish, and a bread side. All vegetarian. You can ask for vegan.

Pros: Vegetarian, vegan options , Good portion sizes

Cons: Not a choice in the food you get
