It was my first time eating Peruvian food, so I asked the waitress for recommendations. I had the Pasta Huancaina with Beef and the Chicha Morada. It was delicious! The drink was such an interesting flavor experience. I loved it!
Definitely coming back to try their other dishes.
Place was clean. Service was really good. Food was fresh.

I've been a loyal customer of Peru Café Express for 13 years since I moved to Texas, and I must say, it's been an exceptional experience. The owner has created a fantastic restaurant with top-notch food and impeccable service. I highly recommend Café Peru to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

The service was superb! Place is clean and food is delicious! I was here just for a snack in the afternoon and had empanadas and plantains. Probably the best beef empanada in Houston! It was delicious. I would be back for a proper meal next time. Thank you!

This is the best Peruvian food in Houston! Everything is amazing here. The filete de pescado frito was incredible, and the tallarín verde con bistek was sooo rich and delicious. The lunch deal is a great value too!
The maduros were cooked perfectly as well!

I know we, peruvians, are very proud of our cuisine and demand flavors to be as similar as our mom's or as we eat when we visit Peru, this place gets close to that. I really enjoyed Papa a la huancaína, Seco de Res and Aji de Gallina, service was great. I agree some dishes may need some extra salt but easy to fix, I've been to places where dishes were too salty making it very unpleasant to enjoy. Got the chance to talk to the owner who told us a little bit about his restaurant. Next time I'm in Houston I'll definitely visit Peru Cafe again. Prices are very reasonable.

Hidden Gem!!! This restaurant is delicious!!! So many authentic plates to pick from. My husband got Lomo Saltado, I got Pollo Saltado, empandas de carne y queso. Kids got Salchi papa and it was all amazing. So much flavor in every plate and everyone enjoyed it. Don't let the small restaurant fool you! Super Delicious. Will be back again soon!
