Andes Cafe

For me, food isn't just about nourishing myself with energy, but it's also about the experience! I think the ceviche bar at Andes Cafe was an experience. Located at The Post in Houston, they have a nice, cozy restaurant open in the corner of the food court. I ordered the Ceviche Mixto which had calamari, octopus, fish, sweet potato, and other delicious ingredients which gave it a nice, tangy blend of textures and flavors. Sitting at the bar, you can see the chefs going to work in front of you as they prepare the meal. They also give a complimentary, bite-sized sample which was a nice touch. My meal tasted fresh and exotic, comparable to some of the great ceviche meals I had in Miami. On top of the that, the staff was friendly and receptive to my questions. The chef was very passionate and competent, given his history with cooking. Overall, definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of their new foods that they are coming out with too.

I am super stoked to have found this small yet flavorful place! I love Peruvian food, especially the ceviche. We ordered everything from the tequenos, empanadas, ceviche mixto, and the Lomo saltado. First off, the empanadas were full of beef and juicy. I have had empanadas at other placed where they skimp out on the beef and stuff more potatoe than anything-this was not the case. The Ceviche was finger licking good. Lastly, the Lomo was so soft and tender. Very impressed with the amount of flavor they packed onto each plate. I wish I would have gotten dessert but honestly, I was stuffed.. Guess now I have another reason to come back. Try them out! Also be patient, they were super busy but worth the wait.
