Honestly, the food was just okay. I had pretty high expectations for this Peruvian restaurant…read morebecause it was highly recommended to me, but unfortunately, none of the dishes I tried really stood out. Everything was lacking in flavor, and I don't feel like this was a great representation of the authentic flavors of Peru. I ordered the Causa Rellena, Lomo Saltado a la Pobre, Arroz Chaufa, and Ají de Gallina. While none of the dishes were necessarily bad, they were all pretty underwhelming and didn't have the depth of flavor I was expecting. My other complaint was the service. It was fairly slow, and we weren't offered refills or asked if we wanted any additional drinks throughout the meal. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately, the food and service didn't live up to my expectations.

Peruvian cuisine in the Home Style: The owner is our chef tonight, Chef Gladys…read more These roasted kernels of (not corn) but something similar. like a cross between spanish peanuts and roasted corn. Yum, and free. Stained concrete floors. At first blush, common walk-in diner style seating, small and deli atmosphere, but, like a good chile it slowly creeps up on you. Little touches, like the posters that let you dream into Lima, wall adornments that feature rich carving, stitched alpaca rug... The chairs are surprisingly high quality wood backed diner's chairs, solid and all impeccably clean. Walls dripping with decorations, wall papers, Peruvian flags, woodcraft and some "tacky" decoration tinsel curtains from Valentines Day (probably on clearance at Party City), cleanly painted and bright walls. But, my wife, having been to Peru on a few mission trips verified, "this is Peru!". So, full marks on authenticity, atmospheric flavor, and the dishes she couldn't wait to dig into State-side. Lomo Saltado: Rich soft medallions of beef, with large sautéed red onion slices and herbs resting in the pan sauce with a pyramid of white rice and a pile of timber plank style potato fries. Both my wife and daughter order this. And it looks like we are homeless, because they both clean the plates so thoroughly, they might be mistaken for clean dishes when Jasmine returns them to the kitchen. I choose the Alitas Inka Brasas, but don't be dismayed by the fancy name, this is simply 6 buffalo wings with French Fries, see pic. But it feels festive to call it something foreign. They are delicious by the way, and the sauce has a good punch. You know when a pizza joint tries to offer chicken wings and they are the absolute worst things that exist in the fast food world...these are nothing like that! Jasmine brought us some green sauce that is Jalapeño verde and some red that is a native Peruvian Rocoto pepper blend that brings just enough heat to add it to every bite of french fry. different and fun. Videos running on several monitors are actually full of the owner cooking the dishes in the menu!! How cool and original is that!?! Loo Review: This is a little Best for Last bit, aside from the wonderful food...This bathroom is so nice! I did not see this coming...OK, it's not the most extravagant materials, but it looks like they gave Martha Stewart a small budget and said "do your best!" It looks like something out of the Hamptons or a resort in Lima. Bright crisp, cozy and calm...yeah, all of those, and it works. On theme with the color palate from the dining area, but so cozy and utterly free of the Latin party feel the main room emits. I really enjoyed this place and rank it in the top tier of themed loos I have ever reviewed. A bit pricey, but truly original and authentic to its claims, and all personally chef inspired. Definitely worth the visit and the experience! Thanks Gladys and Jasmine!

Ordered lomo saltado with maracuyá. Both delicious and authentic flavors. Friendly and quick…read moreservice. Welcoming ambiance. I'll definitely come back!

My visit to Andes Café was one of many stops during my time in Houston. I was wanted to try…read moredifferent cuisines and Texas specialities and since it's part of the vast array of international restaurants at the Post location it was perfect. But what really caught my eye was the ceviche they had available. The service was good, she showed us the difference between the Ecuadorian and Peruvian ceviche that we were interested in trying. Both were seasoned very well, but my friend's Peruvian ceviche was definitely the headlining item for her. It was actually her first time having ceviche with fish, and I think it was a pretty good introduction. We also got a very generous portion, which I always appreciate when trying something new that I end to enjoying. All in all, we really enjoyed the ceviche and would definitely return to Andes Café to try some of the other items on the menu. But for sure, the ceviche will be making a repeat appearance on our next visit.

Very good , legit and great service. Not expensive There is…read moreno alcohol but that is ok. Chicha morada was great

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.
