• Peruvian • Westchase
Booked 4 times today
"Pacha Nikkei will introduce the unique flavors, philosophy and techniques of Nikkei cuisine to Houston. In doing so, it pays tribute to a successful integration of cultures that goes back 124 years in Peru, and that has significantly contributed to the gastronomic wealth of the country. Pacha in the Quechua language of Peru means “world” and Nikkei is a Japanese word, widely used in Peru to refer to Japanese-Peruvian people. The encounter between these rich cultures has given rise to a delicious culinary expression that we would like to share with the world."

    We live in Ohio, but visit Houston frequently to see our kids. We always make it a point to visit Bacaro when we are in Houston. The authentic Italian food is consistently EXCELLENT! This is a family business and you can tell. The owners make a point to visit each table and interact with their customers. They care about the quality of their food and service. We highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!

    Went here with my aunt for a lunch on a Sunday. Food was amazing! Drinks were a bit strong, so if you like that kind of stuff, you’re in luck. Totally recommend the yukitas and lomo saltado. My only criticism is that I would’ve like the ceviche to have some chips.
