What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chakruna Native Burgers is praised for its unique native burgers, especially the alpaca, and its delicious fries. Reviewers often highlight the friendly and efficient service, and the cozy atmosphere of the San Blas neighborhood location. While most enjoy the innovative flavors and good value, a few mention that the buns can be sandwich-like and some burgers might be a bit dry without additions.
"A small burger house which offers native burgers. Prices are good. Taste is good. Service is good. Do not expect a full restaurant and a huge chunk of burger. This place gives exactly what it offers and for a fact it does it very deliciously me and my husband. We went there for a late dinner the place was full and everyone was happy and we placed our orders. We were very happy with the burgers we got it felt like home and homemade burgers rather than having a sweet weird burger bread, workers are really nice and smiley. Overall, we enjoyed a lot and find a small cozy feeling in a restaurant we’ve never been before. I would definitely recommend it to my friends who are visiting Cusco🫶🏼"

"Tasty and generously portioned burgers, both regular beef and exotic varieties (llama, etc.). All burgers come with fries and a small salad. The Double Beef was huge and delicious, with Andean herbs which added something special. Atmosphere is casual, with small tables and modest decoration. Plenty of vegetarian options available."
Johan Björefeldt
"Really nice and cozy place, kind of hidden away from the main square. The staff was nice and friendly, they spoke English and we got our food in minutes. I had the double beef with bacon and Andean cheese, which was absolutely amazing! The spices were on point, the meat was good and the fries was one of the best I've ever had."
