    We stumbled upon a small Peruvian spot near our hotel, and it turned out to be a great find--especially after a few days of Mexican and Tex-Mex. It was a nice change of pace. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting, with plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu offers a solid variety without being overwhelming. Our food came out quickly, hot, and smelled amazing right from the start. I ordered the Lomo Saltado--tender beef sautéed with red onions and Roma tomatoes, served with white rice and crispy French fries, topped with a touch of cilantro. It was very flavorful and satisfying. I also had a cup of chicha, the traditional drink made from purple Peruvian corn, and it was nicely done. We also tried the Brasa Burrito, which was packed with pulled rotisserie chicken, queso fresco, green onions, cilantro aioli, and a bit of fried rice (chaufa-style), along with black beans, Mexican crema, crispy onions, romaine lettuce, and Roma tomatoes on the side, plus your choice of sauce. A unique and tasty combination. The rotisserie chicken itself was excellent--juicy and well-seasoned. We had a half chicken (all white meat) served with rice chaufa and French fries, which made for a hearty and delicious meal. Our server was attentive throughout, checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. While it wasn't as authentic as what I'm used to, it was still a very enjoyable meal--especially for Texas.

    It's been awhile since Chick Houz and I have crossed paths. I guess you could say that we were going no contact. Not without strain ofcourse, I was just a little distracted with other pursuits and unwilling to make the drive to Humble. My first visit to the Spring location, I'm excited to announce that Chick Houz and I have reunited, and the meal was delicious. We ordered the family meal (the chicken special), both desserts :), and ofcourse a chicha morada. The whole chicken plus three sides was enough to feed four (and likely another), and while we were expecting maximum flavor from the chicken, the yucca fries were a beautiful, crispy, soft, comforting surprise. If I could, I'd eat them daily. That being said, I'd honestly reorder everything. If you've yet to give them a visit, know that they're worth droppin

    Our last night in Houston, decided to go for Peruvian food. Found this spot nearby our hotel. We were greeted right away and the girls at register were very nice and friendly. We ordered the Lomo, 1/2 chicken and burrito. The lomo was just ok, definitely have had better! 1/2 chicken was tasty and burrito was also just ok. And had chocolate cake with dulce de leche and that was good!

    I got the half chicken with vegetables and plantains, which was a healthy amount for dinner. The plantains were amazing, but that's also one of my favorite dishes. The vegetables were in kind of a spicy liquid and weren't my favorite. The chicken was freshly cooked, but a little bit dry. I did enjoy the crispy skin and both the yellow and green sauce that came in the to go order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating inside and a small but refined menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The other reviews tell me I may have just had an off experience.

    It was my first time at Chick Houz, and this Peruvian restaurant was excellent! I ordered the Brasa Burrito, Tres Leches cake, and a Chicha Morada for my drink, and everything was delicious. The flavors were great across the board, and I honestly don't have a single complaint. I'll definitely be coming back again!

    Go. No, actually - RUN to Chick Houz! The Peruvian rotisserie chicken is an absolute must! When you arrive you are unsure as to what to expect because it's very minimal and looks like simple. But don't let the looks fool you! We got the half chicken and shared between two people. It comes with a choice of two sides. We got the fries and the chaufa rice. The chaufa rice was like your average fried rice but I think it was less salty and greasy compared to most restaurants when you are dining out. It was a nice dish which wasn't eggy either even though I saw plenty of egg fried into it. Perfect rice IMHO! The chicken has such a nice crispy exterior while the inside is still moist and juicy. And I am not a fan of white meat but wow both the dark and the white meat were equally tender, delicious, and full of flavor. The yucca fries were crispy and yummy while the regular fries were crispy on the outside and not waxy on the inside which was such a huge win. They had the flavor of freshly made homemade fries. The real star of the show in my opinion after the chicken were the three different sauces. I honestly don't know what they were called but they were yellow, green, and pinkish red in color. The red one was a little too spicy for my taste and I don't really know what all was in it. The green sauce was very similar to a green cilantro chutney that you might get at an Indian restaurant. But a close second MVP in my opinion was the yellow sauce. I still don't know what was in the sauce but it had a super addicting quality where I just wanted to drink by the end of my meal. The service was quick and friendly. When we approached the counter we were greeted and all our questions about the chicken and the rice were answered. They were really sweet and even offered us a few samples of the various drinks that they offer. My family from out of town had never tried the jamaica drink and so they really enjoyed getting a sample of that. In addition to that, I also ordered the chicha morada which was just a perfect accompaniment to my meal. And my favorite part about discovering Chick Houz is that they have multiple locations and I can't wait to try all of them!

    Half chicken with green beans and fried rice
    Gene M.

    Great chicken! I'm mainly a white meat person so I have had my fair share of overcooked, dry chicken breast. This place is not one of those. Very juicy chicken breast and the sides are awesome! I got the half chicken with green beans and fried rice. Wow! Coming back here when I come through Houston again.

    Lomo Saltado
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this absolutely hit the spot. --- --- --- I have had Chick Houz bookmarked for a bit, but hadn't made it in with it being about 40 minutes from me. But I took my son to a playground nearby, with the intention of Chick Houz being *my* indoor playground after. I would have loved to try several different items on the menu, but I opted for lomo saltado, and it was basically about as good as it gets. The quality of the steak was exactly what I was hoping for. I loved every bite. My only note is that it was labeled as a "bowl" on the menu, and I think it would have been a little easier to eat from a bowl than a plate, just because things were falling off the side. But when that's your biggest complaint, you know it was good. I ordered a chicken sandwich for my son and stole a couple of bites. Honestly, I would have loved to steal a lot more. The bread had a hint of sweetness and the whole thing got me excited to go back for a second visit. I did order a tres leches for dessert that I didn't love (it was somehow *too* sweet), but you don't come here for tres leches. You come for steak, chicken and the fixins. And those things are great here.

    I had lunch here recently for the first time and it's a counter service restaurant with a drink fountain. I ordered the 1/2 chicken meal with two sides and opted for the regular order of mixed white and dark meat for $17. I picked black beans and a house salad for the sides. I don't know why but I wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be quite good. With a drink and tax the meal was $21.65. The food was ready about 5 minutes later. First of all the chicken consisted of large pieces that were all juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed them. The black beans were a large portion and they tasted very good. The salad was the same. Larger than expected and with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with shredded carrots on top of the greens. It was an unusually robust salad with a homemade dressing that resembled ranch but was different. The chicken was very good and both side dishes impressed me. Another nice touch here is that you eat your meal on dinnerware with metal utensils. You don't see that often at counter service chicken shops. Yes there are several positive and unique things about dining here that I really liked. The food tasted very good, large portions, quality salad and plates and utensils. The only negative was the guy at the cash register called my Boss about 4 times during my ordering. I will return.

    Hibiscus Ginger Lemonade
    Alan B.

    I was invited by family and friends to come here. I do like that they make everything (except deserts) fresh! It may take a while, but the quality is irreplaceable! I ordered the Lomo Saltado bowl, hibiscus ginger lemonade, and tres leches. *This is an order and pay first kinda place* My food took some time, as expected, when my food came out my French fries were lacking, I mentioned it to my brother in a joking way, they must've heard me, because a few minutes later they brought out a bowl of French fries. They didn't have to do this, but it was a very kind gesture. By the way their French fries aren't too soft and not too hard... they were cooked perfectly for enjoying with this dish, or as stand alone fries. I inhaled my plate! Towards the end of the night, I asked for my tres leches and devoured it. It tasted like a combo of tres leches and rice pudding, it was bomb! I was definitely stuffed after this. I had a man next to me who said he's a regular and that I needed to try the chicken, that it's the best he's ever had. You know the food is good when people patiently wait for the restaurant to cook their to-go meals!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I highly recommend this place, the restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely repeat!

    Very excited to have a new Peruvian place near us. Very friendly owner. The grilled vegetables were fantastic. Rotisserie chicken was great. Nice seasoning and crispy. And the yucca fries were my favorite. Next time we'll try lomo saltado. Also, the ginger hibiscus lemonade was really hitting the spot. Excellent menu. Good to have something like this up north I went to Peru last year for the Inca Trail and this food is high quality and authentic

    Chicken and fries
    Anglin T.

    Let me say this right now - I don't know if I could ever go anywhere else for some good chicken in this area chick houz is the BEST when it comes to juicy chicken with a side of fries. This is our go to spot when we want a meal that tastes good, but can also be balanced! Whether you want a salad with your chicken, or fries, or their fried rice, you just CANT go wrong. Also the salchipapa - yes - just get the mega!! Sausages, a fried egg, yuca fries - ugh chefs kiss and perfection! Make sure you come here and try it for yourself. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again lol

The only thing that wasn't for me was the beef hearts--I just couldn't get past the texture. By the end of the meal, we were completely stuffed! The flavors reminded me a lot of Italian cuisine, which I really enjoyed. The atmosphere was lively, and the live music made the whole experience even more fun--it definitely makes you want to get up and dance! Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend checking it out.

    I have been eyeing Pacha Nikkei for the longest time and finally got the chance to go during lunch…read more They are located in westchase area in Houston and specialize in Japanese Peruvian fusion. I believe the chef also cooks for the Peruvian embassy here sometimes in Houston. The inside of their restaurant is decorated in a very intimate way with cultural aspects from the two countries. You already know I HAD to get ceviche when coming to a Peruvian restaurant. I got the ceviche chalaco, which includes mahi-mahi, octopus, shrimp, racoto-aji leche de Tigre, choclo, sweet potato puree, cancha, topped with fried cuttlefish. It has a nice citrus flavor and the leche de Tigre base is soo good. I actually really liked the mahi-mahi, and the fried cuttlefish was fried to perfection with the fish inside still being soft and delicious. That sweet potato puree really elevates the dish as well, it helps counter the citrus flavor but adds another dimension of flavor. My friend got the lomo saltado and it was so so good. The beef was so tender and easy to chew. The soy-oyster sauce they use makes this dish soooo so good. I love the steak fries drenched with the sauce too. I got the arroz con Mariscos. I remember they used to put squid ink in the rice back then. They infuse the rice with aji Amarillo (green pepper sauce?) and top it with shrimp, clams, mussels, octopus, cod, and sarza criolla (vinegar onions). It's basically a seafood paella. This was actually pretty mild in flavor compared to the lomo saltado. The rice was good and almost creamy like but I don't think I was a fan of the corn/bean like pieces in the rice? The seafood itself was good as well, especially the shrimp. If you come here you need to for sure get the ceviche and lomo saltado. They also have sushi rolls that you can order as well, they seem like very unique ones too
