Pacha Nikkei

About the restaurant

"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."

Tex-Mex

Northside

About the restaurant

Superica
– “where sunshine spends the winter” – also known as Tex-Mex cuisine served in an Old-West-inspired atmosphere alongside music inspired by Austin.

The cuisine is a combination of 1950s Tex-Mex and the wood grill that has taken the food to another level by way of fajitas and more. An “evolved Tex-Mex menu,” includes the classics: tacos, nachos, tamales and enchiladas plus more intricate dishes such as wood-grilled fajitas and shrimp tacos always served with just-made flour tortillas, all while paying homage to the traditions and recipes that have been a part of the Texas culture for decades.

We dined at LaLucha next door first for appetizers and drinks. We were celebrating my Sister’s Birthday and the fried chicken, biscuits and fries did not disappoint. The Best fried chicken we’ve eaten at a restaurant. We had dinner at Superica and I absolutely loved the ginger margarita and chicken fajitas. Very tasty and good! Will definitely be back at both restaurants.

Great experience! The food was delicious. Wish the chicken for my Cesar salad was a little more seasoned. They were offering complimentary charcuterie which was a nice touch and had a DJ. It was quite loud and I wasn’t expecting that. Service was great.
