ThI Andes Cafe is situated at the back corner of POST Houston. It specializes in South American flavors including cuisines from Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and more! The store front has an inviting neon sign boasting the Andes mountains in the background. The restaurant has a few small tables inside or you can order at the front counter and come back to pick up your food when ready if you are sitting at one of the larger tables in the open dining area of POST.The cachapa or sweet corn pancake is one of my go-tos at The Andes Cafe. The combination of sweet and savory is so satisfying. Eat it as an appetizer with friends or as your entire meal! Very cheesy and tasty.My other favorite is the coconut shrimp curry (which I did not order on my most recent trip). Very flavorful with fresh shrimp and sweet plantains! It's a hefty serving which makes the $16 price tag much more palatable.Enjoy the fast-paced, hustle and bustle of the vibrant POST Houston with these flavors from South America!

I used to live this place! But now...... not so much. The empanadas are pure garbage. And I would have ordered more but the lady taking my order couldn't get off her phone to take my order. It's sad to see a place go downhill so fast. They were spectacular when they were off navigation. Now I say don't waste your time. They don't care.

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to post a review on Andes Cafe because I love the place! I should start by mentioning I'm allergic to corn so I have not been able to try all the dishes but when I do come by they are extremely helpful with modifications to my ceviche. I've actually had the majority of the main dishes/appetizers/sides on the menu! I really appreciate how small the menu is because I think that's what makes all the dishes so good. My favorites are fish ceviche, mixed ceviche, the churrasco, and the coconut shrimp. The restaurant is very small but cute and the staff is very friendly. I love that the menu has a diverse cuisine from different South American countries so you get to try a little of everything. I recommend a visit when you are at POST HTX

They have a variety of international foods. After watching the Food Network Channel and intermittently fasting, I was craving Peruvian food but ended up getting Coconut Shrimp Curry from Ecuador, my husband ordered the Lomo Saltado Peruvian dish and the Sweet & Savory Corn pancake from Venezuela as an appetizer. We shared all the dishes. I was thoroughly pleased with my choice.This restaurant is located at The Post downtown and has limited seating which we were able to sit at however you could go throughout the food court and find plenty of tables to dine at. I especially liked the plantains shrimp and rice and the sauce accompanied with it. The corn pancake did have too much chewy cheese but the texture of the cake was delicious. Our food came out pretty fast. We sat at a dirty table for a while and had to ask twice to have the dishes picked up. They only had one lady taking your order at the counter and serving. But it's a pretty small place seating for 11.

Food and service were great. I had the lomo saltado which was very flavorful! I also had the chicha and it was perfectly balanced. Hope to be back again to try other dishes.

Andes Cafe was delicious and certainly made me feel as though I was in South America. The prices are a little high and with plentiful other options, if you're willing to pay, this is a great spot for some South American flavors!

Food is good but for the price and the amount they charge can't recommend it pahdnahs. Also asked for salsa which should obviously come with the fried rice and they charge for that too. Too much for a cowboy to cotton too mis amigos

We tried the Fish Ceviche and were pleasantly surprised to find out it tasted just like the delicious ceviche we ate almost daily while visiting Peru and Ecuador. We will definitely be back again!
