The owners, Margarita and her husband, are very busy managing kitchen and customers, so I have to agree that sometimes service is not great. Although if you make reservation, your time is worthy. I live in Pearland and don't mind driving to eat their "choritos a la chalaca" and the best dessert "merengue de lucuma" I've tried in my life.<BR/>Then, El Rancho, is an ok restaurant; great for rotisserie chicken, no fo much on seafood though.<BR/>The one 1960, I think it was horrible... I tried different dishes, enough for not coming back. I guess my standards for peruvian food are higher than what they serve :=)<BR/>La posada del Inca, I haven't been there, but I will go this weekend and will write my comments next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-60663794603253386322008-12-30T11:10:00.000-06:002008-12-30T11:10:00.000-06:00I am from Peru and just moved to Houston from NY. ...I am from Peru and just moved to Houston from NY. So far I have tried 2 restaurants:"Parrilleros" and the "Lemon tree"<BR/>Parrilleros, which is located on 1960, has really tasty food and the portions are generous. I understand that it is owned by a Peruvian/Chilean couple. We were served by the owner himself and he did go the extra mile with our party. They have a Peruvian buffet once a month and I am taking a bunch of friends new to the pleasures of the Peruvian cuisine. It sounds just like a great opportunity to try different dishes at once. The place is Ok...but not great...but the attention they put to the food and the customers is great...<BR/>The Lemon Tree is a bit more fancy but it is really far from where we live (Pearland) Anyhow, we made the trip last week...I must say that I was really disappointed.The jalea was a bit cold and the "salsa criolla"(a sort of salad made with onions) was really salty and made with white instead of red onions; not to mention that the dish was incomplete, without the typical grains of corn and the bed of lettuce. Also the portions were smaller and a bit more expensive than the ones at Parrillero.<BR/>So far Parilleros sound like a better choice but I will definitely try the others. <BR/>Good luck to all.

After waiting some time for somebody to actually come and talk to us (the waiter was too busy talking on his cell phone), they told us to go find a bank and take out money (Banco Publico or something). We started walking but not knowing the neighborhood we felt kind of uneasy and ended up just going home. The food may have been good but the service drove us away.<BR/><BR/>The problem is, there are no Peruvian places near where we live (near Downtown). You have to drive 30 minutes minimum to find a Peruvian restaurant. Unless there are some more we don't know about.<BR/><BR/>We had a similar problem at Pio Rico. We went there for chicken with a bunch of people and the waiter said they were all out of chicken. Come on, the place has "Pio" in its name which stands for chicken! There was also food all over the floor, the place was a mess.<BR/><BR/>Why do all Peruvian restaurants seem to be poorly run? The food is just so damn good, it's a shame its hard to find a "nice" one. I'll have to rely on my Peruvian chica's cooking for now...Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391337985015202714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-47489219731605925942007-11-16T21:07:00.000-06:002007-11-16T21:07:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391337985015202714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-37206980169641526962007-11-12T14:00:00.000-06:002007-11-12T14:00:00.000-06:00I've been there as well, and do agree that the foo...I've been there as well, and do agree that the food is pretty good but the place too lonely. The English speaking waitress is the owner's wife (I believe) and she is American and he is Peruvian.<BR/><BR/>Not sure about the address but it is on Long Point between Blalock and Bunker Hill. From downtown, take I-10W exit Blalock, turn right on Blalock, turn left on Long Point and it will be on the right hand side behind Mandarin Cafe.<BR/><BR/>Hope that if the place gets more clientele due to our comments we get a discount :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-47816420536865584262007-09-07T08:58:00.000-05:002007-09-07T08:58:00.000-05:00I'm from Peru and there is 2 more Peruvian Reataur...I'm from Peru and there is 2 more Peruvian Reataurants in Houston<BR/>PIO RICO acrros from willobrok MAll the phone # 281-477-6896<BR/>And also El Ranchito 281-820-9782 this is in 249 the addres is 2508 WestMount HoustonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-64674412046265550022007-08-19T14:58:00.000-05:002007-08-19T14:58:00.000-05:00Thanks for the review.

The only one we know of is "Lemon Tree" but its just too far away.
