The beef empanadas were delicious and the addition of a light sprinkling of powdered sugar was inspired. Added a whole other profile to the fried goodness. The causa was a new item for me. Think tuna salad and mashed potato casserole served cold, but as a light and refreshing dish, with some crema on top. This would be a perfect dish for any backyard mixer or bbq. The plantains were perfectly fried, soft and sweet and savory and crispy.

Why 4 stars? Because this was a solid rendition of lomo saltado…read more --- --- --- I fell in love with lomo saltado while living in Tampa for the last 15 years, where I felt like we had a pretty decent contingent of Peruvian restaurants. When I found this food truck on Yelp with a perfect 5-star average, I knew I wanted to get here soon. After several weekends in a row of not making my way over, I finally got a chance to experience it. The verdict: it definitely hit the spot, but I do think I've had a bit better. The meat was seasoned well and the flavors were on point, but I think the super thick cut fries is what I didn't love. They were a bit much - I'd prefer a more standard size fry as the thick ones are a bit dry in the middle. But I definitely want to come back and try the paella sometime and will be sure to do so!

When I think Peruvian chicken, I expect crispy, golden skin. What I got instead was more "soft and…read moreconfused." Even my neighbors who actually know Peruvian food recommended this place with a disclaimer, admitting the chicken is not great here. The seasoning went hard on oregano and cumin, like someone spilled the spice rack. To be fair, the chicken was not dry, which earns it a small mercy point. The cilantro lime green sauce was fine. Not bad, not exciting, just kind of there. The staff was friendly though, and that honestly did some heavy lifting. I have heard the steaks are good, so I might come back and pretend the chicken never happened.

Zully's (Elvyn Guevara) catered our family reunion beautifully at the Happy Goat Retreat this past…read moreweekend. From day one Elvyn was a delight to deal with. We agreed on 32 people and a menu of -- FAJITAS - CHICKEN & BEEF INCLUDES: RICE, BEANS, TORTILLAS & TOPPINGS NACHO STATION INCLUDES: CHIPS, QUESO, PICO, SOUR CREAM, GUAC, LETTUCE, GROUND BEEF DISPOSABLES - DINNER PLATES, SIDE PLATES, BOWLS & CUTLERY The price was totally reasonable and the service, delivery and setup was timely and quite well executed. The portions were very generous. We all ate off that buffet all day long! The food was delicious! The tortillas were obviously homemade, the guacamole was creamy and fresh, the fajitas were juicy and oh so tasty. The hot melted cheese sauce and ground meat "sauce" on the nacho station was outstanding. We got 1/2 refried beans and 1/2 charro beans-- I love charro beans and these were some of the tastiest I have eaten in a long time. Chocked full of chopped bacon and sautéed onion bits. I highly recommend Zully's to cater your next event. Elvyn will take great care of you and your guests!!

For many years, I have passed this restaurant. The server told me it had been there for 12 years,…read morewhich seems actually shorter than my recollection, but I won't argue the point. Why it took me so long to get here however is a mystery to me because it's a lovely restaurant. I don't mean by that the ambience it's actually rather plain however the service and the food is absolutely spectacular. I'm by no means an expert in Peruvian food however the patrons were buying for Peruvian hence I'm going to take their presence as a statement about authenticity of the food and a 12 year history. They don't sell alcohol so all of their profits are from dishes, which are absolutely spectacular. We had something a kin to an empanada, which was made with beef deep fried, but the crust was very white and very flavorful. The server gave me a side dip which added some spice to the meal however, before putting it on, I ate some without the dip and it was very flavorful. Potatoes, rice and beans are a large part of Peruvian cuisine all of which I tasted here all of which were very, very good. We got basically a sampler tray which included ceviche beef, chicken, and a potato bean combination, which was just wonderful. The waiter was kind enough to point it out to us and I'm glad he did because it was a great overview of what Peruvian food is. Since I'm not familiar with the cuisine rather than spend a great deal of time addressing it what I'm going to tell you is, it is a wonderful restaurant, the service is equally wonderful, BYOB and enjoy yourself. I will not let so much time go again before I revisit this fine Restaurant. It was a pleasure.

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
