Oh my gosh where can I even start. The atmosphere here is amazing, the food…like why have I missed out on Peruvian food my whole life? And the desserts? The torte is…well there are no words because it’s that good. Service? Phenomenal. The staff makes you feel at home. Leigh was attentive, kind, and makes excellent recommendations. She also took time to consider any allergies and sensitivities. Also the drinks are delicious, I will definitely be back for a night out!

Delicious!!! I got the Amazon Fried Rice and it was so packed with flavor. The fried plantains were so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as well. So many different dishes to try that I hadn't heard before in any other restaurant. I will be back for another culinary experience and the cozy upscale vibes with great prices. Also, they have an entire separate menu for vegans, so there really are great options for any palate!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! We had the butternut squash soup, jackfruit fajitas, Jalea Mixta, and the Yucca Fries. Everything was so delicious.

We drive about 45 min to enjoy the delicious food at Cusco. Love the blackfish and the trout with their tasty mashed potatoes.The cheesecake is phenomenal and it's hard to know if you should start with it or finish with it. Excellent! service. We celebrated our 26th anniversary there recently.

Updated 02-08-2026 We were in Springfield for mass and decided to grab dinner. Thought we'd revist Cafe Cusco, and were not disappointed. This time, we found out they have a dining room upstairs that they use on Friday and Saturday nights! It is lovely! Our server was Gretchen, she was great! Attentive checking on us often, kept our drinks topped off and made sure our food was delivered promptly. Both of our Entrees were delicious! Service was outstanding! We'll be back. We were looking for a new Mexican food place, selected this venue, and was not disappointed. Turns out it is Latin influence.

A MUST TRY in Springfield! If I could give this place 10 🌟's I would! If you're a vegan you have got to try the amazing food. We did have a dessert that was not vegan, but it was gluten free. They do have a vegan dessert that we still definitely try soon. We had the Portabello Saltado and the Jackfruit fajitas. For dessert we had the Torta de Askinosie.

A Peruvian restaurant with vegan options in Missouri?! So, so good! Food is amazing, staff friendly, menu well-labelled, nice atmosphere with great decor. I went for lunch and dinner (different days). They even sell their homemade hot sauce!!

The food was great and the decor was well done. It's in a cute historic building and we sat in a booth with stain glass windows. We ordered the trout and fryer rabbit. Both were awesome. My parents especially enjoyed the locally sourced rabbit that reminded them of childhood.
