โWELCOME TO SOUTH AMERICAโ
A CULINARY JOURNEY ACROSS CULTURES
Our Story
Andes Cafe is named for La Cordillera de Los Andes, the worldโs longest mountain range that links together 7 South American countries stretching from Venezuela to Argentina.
We serve authentic flavors from each of these seven regional cuisines in a comfortable but refined setting. A perennial feature in famed Houston food critic Allison Cookโs Top 100 Houston Restaurants, Andes reopens at POST Market with invigorated brunch and dinner menus that will sate Houstonโs craving for Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and other South American favorites.
Our Chef
A native of Quito, Ecuador, David began his culinary journey as a child helping his grandmother in the family kitchen. While training at a variety of restaurants in Houston, David received a devastating diagnosis, that he had brain cancer, in 2010 which partially blunted his sense of taste. Yet just three years later, he overcame the cancer and opened the original Andes Cafe in the East End to critical and commercial success.
In 2018, David completed an apprenticeship at Limaโs famed Maido, ranked #6 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants. โMy goal is to make food that traces my story from Quito to Houstonโ. I want to show the resiliency of South American cuisine to a broader global audience.โ When David is not in the kitchen, he enjoys his free time with his son Joshua, dancing salsa and traveling.
