Great little place. We ordered a variety of things. Seemed a lot of dishes had overlapping sauces making it sort of all taste the same. Everything was cooked very well. My favorite were the wings and the steak noodles.
Ceviche is still great but now the price is $22 before tax which is hard to justify when Peruvian ceviche in central Houston is $17 before tax. The portion is fish was also a bit less however the flavor is just as good and spicy packs a punch! The owner is very nice and checks up on you often.
One of the things I love about this city is the ability to get GOOD food from EVERY culture. Peru Gourmet is one such place that is evidence of this. I discovered them years ago and keep coming back. I've tried a lot of the menu and everything is good. It's a hole in the wall kind of place, but don't let this deter you. I prefer dining in over ordering, as everything is hot and fresh, and service is always friendly and accommodating. It is truly a hidden gem in Houston.
Amazing food and service Great flavor in all dishes. You really can't go wrong. Small but mighty!!
I had lunch here at Peru Gourmet a week ago. It's in a strip center with plenty of parking available in front. Inside it's a small restaurant with about 8 tables and is a table service eatery. Upon recommendation of the owner/manager I went with the Lomo Saltado entree for $19. The meal arrived in less than 15 minutes and consisted of strips of filet mignon marinated and sautéed in a wok with red onions, tomatoes and yellow peppers all bathed in a red wine sauce. The meal was delivered by a lady working in the back without any utensils. The owner/manager was busy the entire time with a party of eight people who were obviously friends of his chatting away so eventually the lady came back out and I asked her for utensils which she then brought. I didn't think the meal was anything special taste wise. The filet mignon wasn't as tender as I had hoped and I couldn't taste much of the red wine among the veggies. It was a 3 star meal in my opinion at best. The french fries that came with it were the regular frozen out of a bag style. It was an average tasting meal with poor table service and therefore no reason for me to return.
This was my first time coming here, but it won't be my last. Upon entering, I was greeted by the friendly owner, who gave me great recommendations. I got the lomo saltado and two pork tamales with picked onions. Lomo saltado is tender filet mignon and savory brown sauce on a bed of white rice and French fries. I was unsure about how the fries would taste, but it works! It was so good that I wish I bought two plates. Nice portion size too! Tamales were delicious and the pickled onions complemented them very well. Washed everything down with a can of Inca Kola, a Peruvian soda. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.
Great food !!! A must come and try very nice atmosphere and very clean service is very friendly people
Lights out delicious! First time here and tried the signature dish Lomo Saltado. The filet mignon is super tender and flavor profile of gravy intensifies the grilled onions and peppers while the rice and fries compliment the dish very well. Also ordered the Bistec a lo Pobre and empanadas de carne. Going to try the rotisserie chicken next.
The reviews speak for themselves. Just a few shops down from the Walgreens. Don't expect high end interior, basically it's a hole in the wall in a somewhat sketchy strip mall (I can say that, I live close by ha). Don't let the exterior or exterior fool you....what...so...ever! This place is a hidden gem. We ordered take out and the food was pretty quick to be prepared. We ordered the Ají de Gallina and Arroz Chaufa de Pollo. OMG! The Arroz Chaufa de Pollo tasted better than any stir fried rice I have had in ANY Asian food restaurant. Hands down! The ladies recommended some other dishes for next time and I will definitely take them up on it. I live not even a mile from this place and I am already ready to go back. I am thinking this will be a spot I frequent a few times a month. How have I not been here! Y'all you've gotta go!
This is some seriously tasty Peruvian cuisine. Saw all the rave reviews and pictures and had to come see for myself. My wife and I and our foodie son saw they were open for dining in so we showed up with appetites. Everybody tasted everything, all of it was 5 stars. The chicken soup was full of good stuff, 5 stars. We snarfed a few beef empanadas, more 5 stars 'cause that's as high as the scale goes. The pork/chicharron sammy was on great bread and the pork was oh so tender and full of flavor. The chaufa with chicken was the second best fried rice he's ever had, his fave is the Japanese place that does a show, meaning they play with your food. They have amazing tamales too which comes with a small cup of criolla onion. We'll be visiting again, bring on the goodies. Awesome friendly service.
Randomly drove by this spot on my way to get a burger. I decided tk stop here because the best Peruvian restaurant ive had in Houston was La Guitarra and the reviews here are high...made a quick U-turn and that was the best decision of the day! We walked in and were greeted with a smiling masked face. We decided to dine in. I always order Lomo Saltado. This is hands down 5/5. The meat is tender! Sauce is very savory and flavorful! The portion is great! I had the tamales as well. Very savory, and the masa alone i couldve eaten without the filling! The pickled onions on top made this dish 5/5 for me. The rotisserie chicken was 3/5. But dont sleep on the black beans! Soooo savory, soupy, not mushy and man...I could drink this! Next time I want Peruvian food, I will come back here and go HAM ON THE CEVICHE NEXT!!!

Small local joint in a strip center at the edge of Westbury. Pretty tasty authentic food and hardworking staff. Quaint interior with some cultural decor. Surprise stand out was the wings. Super crispy outside and juicy inside. I enjoyed the ceviche also. Lots of similar dishes where you basically pick different protein or starches. Shared open parking lot. Looks a little sketchy at night with all the burglar bars on the businesses but it didn't feel unsafe at all. read more

So happy this place survived. Hands down best Peruvian restaurant in the area. Such a hidden gem. Tried the ceviche for the first time and it did not disappoint. Also tried the tamales based on another review and it was delicious. Chicharrón tío lurin is my goto plate along with the chicken. It's BYOB as well. Please support them. P.S. for another treat, head next door for some ice cream. Another awesome place. read more

Thank you for your review, just to inform you that in the Lomo…

The huancaína sauce was very watery and did not taste like huancaína. The ceviche was fresh, the jalea was acceptable, but the arroz con mariscos had fake crab in it. What made this place worth the visit was the delicious lúcuma ice cream, made w pulp, not the powdery stuff. It is more than enough for two people. read more

This one was tough to give a rating to because I am torn between a 4 and a 5 star...here's why. Food: the food is absolutely stunning! Everything is so flavorful, it tastes so authentic, and it's plated and presented really well. Absolutely exquisite! Had the Arroz con mariscos, which is a stir fried rice with seafood. There were so many flavors going on that just blended so well together. The best way to describe is like your Mexican rice, but not as greasy, so I really enjoyed it. They had all kinds of seafood in there as well, like shrimp, squid, and mussels. Typically, you would think that it wouldn't go well, but it does go really well together. I do with some of the mussels plated had a bit of flavor to them, but I think traditionally, it's just boiled. We also had the ceviche mixto which is a mix of all different types of seafood, and this was definitely very flavorful, citrusy, and very refreshing. It has that sour lime taste of a ceviche, but it wasn't overpowering to where it makes you pucker. This is probably one of the best ceviches I've ever had because they do give you a great dinner entree sized dish, the seafood was cleaned very well, so there wasn't any of that fishy taste, and all the pieces were cut up and marinaded to perfection. I got a side of yuca fries, just to see how it measures up to other places, and I must say, they have a very good crisp on it. I do like my yuca fries a bit more tender, so these were a bit tougher, but still very good texture, and it came with a mayo/mustard mix that was really good for dipping. Atmosphere: this is a small mom and pop restaurant, so there isn't much seating available, but overall it's really nice and quaint. They keep the place very clean and nice looking. Service: The owners (I assume) were really nice and very cordial. The only thing that kind of sucked was when I ordered a dish, they came out later and told me they were out of it. Then ordered another one, just to find out that they also ran out of components for that dish, so my final order came out a bit later than expected. However, i do understand because we did come in towards the end of the night and they were really nice about it and comped my meal for me because of the trouble. The food overall did take some time to come out, but I guess that just means that they make it fresh. Despite the issues, I would definitely go back to try the dishes I didn't get to. I am a huge supporter of mom and pop shops, and this is definitely a hole in the wall worth trying. (even if the parking lot area seems a bit shady) read more
It was tough deciding whether to give Peru Gourmet 3 or 4 stars. On one hand, the food was pretty tasty. On the other, it seemed expensive for what you get and the service was pretty slow. Food: - Appetizer: Yucca fries. These were delicious. Well-fried with tender yucca and a delicious dipping sauce. However, it cost $7 and came with only 5-6 medium sized fries. Pretty pricey for what you get. - Iced Coffee for $2.50 was pretty tasty! No burnt or bitter flavor, not watery, and came with whole milk you could pour in. - Arroz Marisco: Similar to a seafood paella but more of a risotto texture. At $16 it was also pricey for one entree, but it was a large amount of food, easily enough for 3-4 smaller portions for a table. Flavor was on point with lots of seafood strewn throughout it. Would get again! - Ceviche pescado: On the smaller side for $13. Fish was fresh with a wonderful lime-cilantro dressing and tasty sides of sweet potato and two versions of corn kernels. I think for the portion size it wasn't worth the price, but it was very tasty nonetheless. Service: very polite but so slow. Our entrees probably took 30 minutes? to come out and it was a Sunday late afternoon. One order was incorrect so it was brought back and took maybe another 20 minutes for it to actually come out. Pricing: again, the food was delicious, but we were surprised that such a casual joint in a random strip center would manage to rack up $20/person before tip where each person got one entree and we shared an appetizer and drink. Would I come back? Probably. The food was really tasty and I'd love to explore more of their menu. At least now I know to expect slightly higher prices and not the fastest service...whether or not that would deter me from wanting their food again probably depends on my mood that day :P read more

I am Peruvian and usually get disappointed with Peruvian spots, but this one... oh my! This is the perfect Peruvian place to eat. I ordered papa a la huancaina, lomo saltado, ají de gallina, arroz con mariscos, arroz chaufa and flan. The flan was probably a bit too sweet, but other than that the food was DELICIOUS. I approve and recommend Peru Gourmet! absolutely loved it! Will definitely order again. read more
