Peru Cafe Express

Peruvian restaurant · Houston

@infatuation

"This tiny, mostly to-go casual strip-center restaurant, which is barely visible from the feeder road, makes some of the best traditional Peruvian food in town. Peru Cafe Express is quiet, scrubbed clean as though someone’s entire family is about to visit, and filled with photos and keepsakes. The staff member manning the counter takes your order, and anything from the one-page menu will be excellent. We especially like the empanadas de carne with a crispy, golden crust full of extra-crunchy air bubble craters, ceviche with a tongue-tingling kick, or loaded plates of lomo saltado glistening with perfumed red wine sauce. Lunch will only cost around $12, which makes it worth all the 59 U-turns to get there. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
