My family has been to Peru Gourmet many times. What the restaurant lacks in space and decor it makes up for in delicious food. Among our favorites are the Chaufa (Peruvian fried rice - very similar to Chinese fried rice) which is pictures twice in the images included. The seafood ceviche and chicharron is also pictured. I recommend you bring your sense of adventures and love to international cuisine in to Peru Gourmet for a meal you’ll love.

Food was exceptionally delicious. The portion was plentiful for the price. The empanada was much more filling than I expected and not greasy at all. Definitely a place to recommend.

A large group from our church showed up to Peru Gourmet with over 30 people. Their staff was amazing and served our group amazingly. We had multiple split checks and ordered a lot of food. They were kind, gracious, and attentive, and the food was spectacular. The best Peruvian food in Houston.

Excellent food in a homey family run atmosphere. The chupe de camarones was different than what I'm used to, but it was delicious. Aji de gallina was very good as well. The trio marinero was a great deal, as we got arroz chaufa (super tasty!), Ceviche, and jalea de mariscos. Even the breading on the fried seafood was tasty. Worth a try! Don't be discouraged by how dark it looks from the outside.

Great food and great service! I highly recommend. We had the ceviche, the sampler plate and the lomo saltado. All we excellent. The ceviche was also amazing.

I loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious, and there was a good amount of flavor. I would have liked it to be a little on the spicy side but even without that, I still ate it all. Great service. I ordered the bistec a lo pobre. I don't know what my friend ordered, we both enjoyed our meal.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem today. As a Peruvian I’m so glad I have delicious pollo a la brasa ten min from home. We ordered a whole chicken combo today and have plenty leftover for tomorrow. I did not get a pic of the food because my order was takeout and we scarfed it down when I got home.

Excellent Lomo saltado and Pollo saltado. Will definitely return. Tender meat, and fast to go service. Was a little pricey, but worth every penny, especially on a weekend night.
