    Latin bites Kitchen Peruvian restaurant
    Peggy G.

    This is an awesome Peruvian restaurant. The plates are ample, reasonably priced - with great service! We ordered fried calamari to begin well cooked battered to perfection lomo saltado plate was full of flavored perfectly cooked lomo tender onions and tomato's on point, for the kids we ordered arroz chaufita(fried rice w/ chicken) it was well seasoned kids enjoyed it. Ambiance was inviting family welcome environment, customer service exceptional.

    Please note that although this says happy hour ends at 6:30 PM, it's actually 6 PM. And for goodness sake, don't ask them about it!

    We swung by to indulge in their happy hour, arrived about 6:15 PM and after we were seated in a completely empty restaurant - not a soul at any table or at the bar - he said that the happy hour actually ended at 6 PM. I showed him their website which said it ended at 6:30, and he said he would mention it to the owner, but there were no deals available. Ok, fine. We were going to let it slide and just order some things anyway when the same guy came over to our table and stuck his phone in my face and told me to show him on his phone where on their website it said 6:30. I did (again), but at that point having an employee angrily confront us in a completely empty restaurant was too much so we bailed. I can handle not getting as good a deal, but the confrontation was absolutely too much.

    Two shrimp , old and two pieces of calamthis this place is table

    Start by saying this the portions.\nAre small?\nNo octopus two old shrimps.\nAnd I only saw two pieces of calamar and the fish are paper things, 4 pieces of onion. It was terrible and the potato one kayena , we're hard salty i know Peruvian food.This place is terrible.I will never go back there no salt and pepper on the table or tablecloth. Napkins, that's a bad sign.

    We went there to celebrate my friend's birthday. Every dish is delightful and authentic per my Peruvian friend. The entire crew came out to sing her happy birthday with traditional drum and all. Must try if you're in Houston.

    If you want to try a Latin place, I highly recommend this restaurant. -The food was savory. I definitely felt the authenticity in the appetizers and the paella. The presentation of the food was phenomenal. - customer service was great and the staff was friendly. I honestly loved the vibe. It was modern with a twist of spanish. Prices are great!

    PERUVIAN CEVICHE
    Cecilia K.

    My manager at my workplace recommended this place, and I decided to try it out with a friend who loves Latin cuisine. We always want ceviche, and Latin Bites' ceviche is something I wish I could eat regularly (if only I didn't live a bit far away). The only thing my friend and I didn't expect was how large the portion size would be. Eating the ceviche between the two of us filled us up to the point that we could barely eat half of our entrees. You really do get a bang for your buck out of it. Although the churrasco wasn't tender enough, the flavors and chimichurri sauce were still tasty. I have no complaints about the yucca fries either -- they were fried and flavored to perfection! The rotisserie chicken was also good and not dry at all. It was still tasty by the next day as leftovers too. I'd love to come here again and try more of their foods!

    Lomo Saltado
    Lauren E.

    This restaurant is amazing! I had the empanadas- beef and spinach for an appetizer. They were so flavorful and so tasty! For my entree I had the lomo saltado. This dish was awesome! Service was fast and friendly. Waiter answered all of our questions and knew the menu very well. Easy parking not too crowded. Their limonada was FRESH and delicious! Definitely will be back to try more.

    This Place is by Far the Very Very Best Peruvian Cusinie established here in Houston Texas in 2006. The name of this Restaurant is called Latin Bites Kitchen because of there diversity of so much Peruvian Food before 2000 and after year 2000.

    Skewers - Anticuchos
    Christina L.

    Upscale classy vibe with upbeat music when you walk in. We ordered an appetizer of beef heart skewers called anticuchos that were so tender and delicious covered in rocoto sauce. The sauce has a little kick and so delicious. Then my husband and I shared the trio plate that had lomo saltado, carne secó, and pollo desabrado with a side of canary beans. If you are looking for a refreshing drink you must have chica morado. Then we treated ourselves to Alfahoras, which were cookie sandwiches filled with creamy milky filling. Overall a great visit and we look forward to returning.

    Avocado Tiradito
    Stephanie S.

    I totally forgot to take a photo of the dessert. But the tires leches is great too! This is one of my places my dad and I went to before this location. I think the avocado tiradito may be on my top things! My dad can't wait to try the chicken next time we are in Houston.

    As a Peruvian who has lived in Texas for more than 42 years and travels to Peru every year, I can say that Latin Bites is the best Peruvian restaurant in Houston. It really has the flavors of the restaurants in Peru. Please, if you want to know what Peruvian food is all about, go to Latin Bites. Do not waste your money going to other so-called Peruvian restaurants in Houston. There is no comparison, and the prices are very comparable to those of the other Peruvian restaurants. The drinks, food, ambiance, and service are A plus. Diego, Michael, and the whole crew are outstanding. We travel two hours every time to eat at Latin Bites.

    Surf and Turf (Mar y Tierra)
    Brittany B.

    Woohoo for Peruvian Restaurant Representation in Houston! I was extremely excited to try a few traditional Peruvian dishes. It's been a few days, and I'm still on a flavor high from the flavors & combinations. *Market Ceviche- Although it's not served with chips or bread, it's a winner. The addition of the fried calamari provides some nice texture variety and crunch almost substituting the chip experience *Chicken Cilantro Rice- delicious, flavorful and not too heavy. The peas and carrots in the rice will almost convince you it's healthy...almost *Surf & Turf- Delicious, filling, and rich. My partner licked his fork *Tres Leches- I hope they keep working on. In my opinion it could be improved. Speaking of opportunity...although the food was lip smackingly good, the dining experience was less than 5 stars. The restaurant is spacious, but you can hear all of the banging in the kitchen when dining at the booths. It's not a deal breaker, but certainly distracting. Also, dispute the restaurant being less than half full the service was painfully slow...so slow that by the end of the meal we walked to find our waiter to deliver the check. On the plus side, he was sweet...just not attentive to our cues. I know it's extremely difficult to keep a full staff, so as I dined I'm willing to extend grace all around, but for the moment, I'll stick to requesting my order to go.

The restaurant is small and intimate, with a nice-sized bar near the entrance that makes for a great place to enjoy a drink before dinner. One tip: be sure to pay attention to the dress code. We saw guests turned away for not meeting it, so it's definitely enforced. The service was absolutely spectacular. Everything was perfectly synchronized--from the drinks arriving and set on the table together, to each course being served in unison, to the timely clearing of plates. It's the kind of attentive, polished service that has become increasingly rare. We started with the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh and full of flavor, followed by the empanadas. They were all good, although the shrimp empanada wasn't my favorite. For our entrées, we had the salmon, the filet, and the lamb chops. The salmon was perfectly prepared, the filet was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, and the lamb chops were some of the best my husband has ever had. With exceptional service, outstanding food, and an elegant atmosphere, Rudy & Paco's absolutely lived up to its reputation. We'll definitely be back.

We were there for our 27th wedding anniversary and were pampered by the staff all evening! The cuisine is Nicaraguan-inspired seafood and proteins, which I was not familiar with at all, but everything we had was delicious. The meal begins with fried crispy plantains with two different dipping sauces that are heavenly. We chose the empanadas for our appetizers, then I had the sea scallops while my husband ordered a seafood pasta dish. The restaurant is quiet and elegant, but not at all stuffy. They treated us to cake at the end, which is the only thing I got a picture of (sorry!!) but I so recommend this restaurant!!

There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

But once you arrive, you're in for a real culinary trip south of the border. ​I dropped in very eager to try one of their taco plates. While the pictures on the restaurant's Facebook page had already piqued my appetite, I wanted to see for myself if they were the real deal. So, for my first meal here, I ordered the Pastor Street Tacos. ​Like at any good Mexican restaurant, my meal began with chips and salsa. It's an unwritten rule of mine that if the complimentary chips and salsa are good, the main dishes will be just as good, if not better. Fortunately, that rule holds true for Mr. Taco. I tried both the red and green salsas, which were truly spicy--a definite plus in my book. ​The tacos arrived after a few minutes. While the menu said they were miniature--there were four in total--they were a perfect portion. Anchored by marinated pork and topped with fresh onions and cilantro on corn tortillas, the tacos were accompanied by a bean-filled consomme and rice. With just one bite, I imagined myself on the streets of Guadalajara or Monterey; the authenticity was simply evident. ​I occasionally dipped the tacos in the consomme, which I could describe as a bit earthy and salty. Overall, the meal was incredibly enjoyable. This dish is a prime candidate for a go-to order on a return visit. ​I was very well taken care of by our waiter, Samuel. The meal's spiciness had me quickly finishing my water, but he kept the glasses coming without me having to ask. ​While working on the meal, I was parked in front of one of the business's massive TVs, which were tuned to the Astros game. That said, I consider Mr. Taco an ideal place to catch a game. It helps that it's open until 10 p.m.--or 2 a.m. on the weekends--though a staff member told me that's assuming they're not having a slow night. ​Price-wise, I'd say the costs are quite fair. My platter was about $13, which would be roughly three dollars more elsewhere.
