I had the peppered chicken dinner which was fabulous! The show was great and much better than the one we went to in Cusco the previous evening. Great service, great food and great show! More

Well after reading the reviews online for this restaurant my huband and I were properly prepared for the experience. We did arrive late (accidently) and without reservations so we were happy when they accomidated by letting us have a seat. That and the show is about all there was that was good. It took about 10 minutes for a waiter... More

The alpacha I had wasn't hot when it was served and gave me the runs... but maybe it is just Peru food in general. More

The food was average but the show was great, It lasted about two hours. Traditional dancing and music as well as some newer jazzed up tunes. They do bring around CDs of the traditional sound, but none of the original music, which I preferred. They also bring around a hat at the end of the night for some tips which... More

Service was quick and friendly, (there weren't that many customers in to be fair). Everyone in my group enjoyed their food (apparently the guinea pig was good, I stuck to a safe veggie pizza!) The entertainment was an unexpected (and quite hilarious) bonus, with wild dancing and mad costumes. They served a decent house wine too. More

There was music and dance which was fantastic, however, it didn't distract enough from the terribly slow service and poor food. My friend got his appetizer, but no one brought him utensils. It took at least 15 minutes before we could get someone's attention to get him a fork. My soup didn't arrive until everyone else's main dish came, and... More

My GAP tour had reservations to this small dinner theater restaurant in downtown Puno on our first night in the city. The seating consists of two long tables on the restaurants top floor (hence the name Balcones de Puno), with the stage at the far end of the wall. Before the show starts, you order your meals (I got a... More
