What people say, in short
Tio Lucho's is a Peruvian restaurant in Poncey Highland that many diners recommend, with praise for its food, sauces and cool vibe. One diner calls it an upscale go-to for special occasions, and another says it is worth checking out for anyone new to the city. One diner found the causa and ceviche good but the lomo saltado far too salty, and another felt the prices are fair given the portions, with shareable plates. One first-hand visitor enjoyed it but doubted it is the most authentic Peruvian food.
