Tiradito 3 Sabores (Rocoto, Aji Amarillo y Jalapeno)
Karla D.

The Food here is Excellent it's just Deliciously Good and you will definitely want to eat here more and more. The price is average and the food presentation is more rewording by mouth then what you see! The Peruvian Cusinie here is the ver best! Try the Tiradito 3 Sabores

Piqueo Lemon Tree (jalea de pescado, ceviche mixto, tiradito de rocoto y choros a la chalaca)

I took me wife to a pre Valentine's dinner at Lemon Tree and I'm glad I did it. The seafood was amazingly fresh and tasty, the staff was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and the ambient was warm and cozy. Lemon Tree is a hidden gem, we'll be back soon with the rest of the family.

Great food and good music and cute dancing people. Lots of salsa, merengue, and cumbia music. If it's like this every time it's pretty amazing. This was my first time here.

I didn't realize that this restaurant is closed on Monday's, so me and my BFF came here on a Tuesday for an early lunch. The restaurant had plenty of seating available and spread out well, as we arrived shortly after it had opened. Nonetheless, there were folks already dining. I had come here once before, and really liked the food. We were asked to be seated anywhere and presented with complimentary chips n salsa. This time around I went with a Beef Saltado sandwich with French fries. It was a generous portion of beef chunks and cheese and good size of French fries, which were golden brown and crisp. They also served me a green creamy dip along with the sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and flavorful. We also ordered a chicken saltado that was served over gravy and French fries, garnished with parsley, and accompanied with a cup of rice. Again this dish was very good and tasty. I believe its a very popular dish in the Peruvian cuisine. We enjoyed our meal and service was up to standards. Since everything went great, I have given them a full 5 star! (woohoo, as good as it gets).

Lomo Saltado to die for. So good. Cute restaurant w a bit of a fancy gourmet vibe. The server was SO NICE and their chips and green sauce omg. They give you so much food too!!!!! I'm coming back

Pescado A Lo Macho

Always a treat to come to this place with the best ceviche outside of Peru, and amazing Lomo Saltado, Pescado a lo Macho, the list goes on...we love the family run aspect too, this is a true gem in Houston. The Pastel de Lucuma is Houston's best dessert....no questions asked, this is right up there with Churrascos Tres Leches, Ruggles White Chocolate Pudding and Tony's Soufflé...

Lomo Saltado

My second stab at Peruvian cuisine, at the recommendation of co-workers. The plaza for Lemon Tree looked a bit ghetto, but inside was blazing with bright vibrant colors. Not a lot of business during a weekday lunch, but getting the attention of the only waitress there was still a bit difficult. My coworkers started off with a ceviche appetizer, which I decided to try even though I'm not a seafood person. The ceviche mix was split into tiny portions served on their own individual spoons, which was kinda neat. But each spoonful was SOAKED in lemon juice, and my tongue literally had spasms due to the intensely pure sourness. Luckily for my Mexican co-workers this was normal for them, so they quite enjoyed it. I went with the standard Lomo Saltado for my entrée, the same dish I had ordered at the other Peruvian restaurant I had visited. The flavor wasn't quite as delightful as I had hoped, and the beef wasn't as tender either. The second time I returned I ordered the Se me Cayo el Arroz de Lomo, which was basically a different version of the Lomo Saltado. The rice was mixed in with the sauce, meat, and veggies, and instead of fries, they throw two fried eggs on top. This choice was a mistake because I did not like my food to be drenched in sauce. Not to mention the meat was over-seasoned and I had nothing to balance out the flavor with. #196

$3.00 Lemonade, but very good!

Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken - Chicken and rice. SO MUCH RICE. not bad for $12

The owner is super nice, caring, and helpful upon ordering. Las Brasas currently has quite a few…read moregood deals. Specifically the lunch deal that contains 1/4 piece of a chicken and 2 sides with rice. The crispy potatoes are amazing, all for $9 with a drink as well! There are lots of space to dine in and well decorated representing the culture and an image of what the restaurant has to offer!

I've been to this Peruvian restaurant a few times before because I usually like their roasted…read morechicken. This time I called in an order for tallarines saltados and two whole chickens for my family. They told me it would be ready in an hour, which was fine. When I arrived to pick it up, the owner handed me the food and casually said he replaced my tallarines with lomo saltado -- without asking me first. He said it was "a better choice" and that they were out of tallarines. I told him clearly that I did not want lomo saltado, but he kept insisting, so I just took it to avoid arguing. When we got home, the real problem started -- both chickens were undercooked, tough, and hard to chew. It was so bad that I told my kids and family not to eat any of it, and I ended up throwing everything in the trash. I paid good money for this meal, and we didn't get to eat at all. Changing an order without consent and serving raw chicken is not acceptable. I won't be coming back.
