Andes Cafe

"The Peruvian restaurant Andes Cafe serves up ceviche, rotisserie chicken, and lomo saltado stir-fry beef from a stall at the back of the Post Market food hall. Make a reservation at the ceviche counter for lunch or dinner, and watch chefs dress seafood like razor clams and octopus with heaps of lime and coconut-spiked leche de tigre. Or share a plate of fries smothered in churrasco beef and chimichurri with friends before a show at 713 Music Hall next door." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"Going to Andes Cafe is one of the best reasons to visit The Post in Downtown. Make a reservation at the ceviche bar to see razor clams get dressed in spicy aji limó pepper, or octopus smothered in bright tiger’s milk sauce. The intensely flavored and beautiful plates aren’t limited to ceviche, though—you can also try lomo saltado or tender rotisserie chicken. While hitting up this Peruvian restaurant before any 713 Music Hall concert is a no-brainer, the intimate, deep blue stall also makes for a great solo meal or casual date night, especially after grabbing a couple of cocktails around the food hall.

"Andes Cafe might be snuck into the back corner of Post’s market food court downtown, but the Peruvian restaurant is worth trekking past the other stalls. Make a reservation for the ceviche bar inside of the deep blue stall and watch the staff dress razor clams and sea urchin in spicy, citrus-like aji limó pepper, or smother octopus and crispy squid in bright tiger’s milk sauce. The intensely flavored and beautiful plates aren’t limited to ceviche, though—you can also try lomo saltado stir-fried beef or succulent rotisserie chicken. While hitting up Andes Cafe before a concert at 713 Music Hall next door is a no brainer, the intimate space makes for a great solo meal or casual date night, especially after grabbing a couple beers or cocktails from around the food hall. photo credit: Chelsea Thomas" - Chelsea Thomas

"Hidden away in Eado’s Warehouse District, Andes Café will give you Houston’s best culinary tour of South America. The menu indicates which country bordering the Andes Mountains each dish originates from. Along with its hearty brunch menu and small plates selection, Andes Café is unique in Houston for one specialty dishes in particular: deep fried guinea pig. The ceviche, bistec a caballo, and lomo saltado are equally compelling choices. During lunch, definitely order the Executive option, which buys 3 courses for less than $20." - Christina Autry
