Sal y Pimienta

Came here for a dinner party and actually surprised by the food. Before coming, I heard not so great things and wasn’t impressed with what I saw on the menu either. The food spoke for itself though. Our table ordered lamb chops and empanadas to start. I am not a fan of lamb chops but they weren’t too bad, I must say. If I recall correctly, there were 4 different types of empanada fillings. My favorites were the spinach and artichoke and the beef. For our entrees we had the tomahawk and the ribeye to share amongst 8 people. We also ordered sides of mushrooms, asparagus and mash potatoes. Loved the mashed potatoes, I would’ve been content eating just that, honestly. Before our steaks came, our servers came with decorated hot plates and we had a bit of fun plating up our dinner lol. The steaks were seasoned beautifully. It came out pretty rare for me but our server just told us to keep it on the the hot tray for longer. Oo we also got the 4 leches which was a nice sweet treat after our meal. Overall, I would probably recommend this place for an occasion.

We went for Houston Restaurant Week and had a great time. There were three of us, and we shared what each of us ordered. The menu consists of four courses with a few options to select on each. Our waiter was attentive, and the food was OK. The flank steak was liked the best, and you have to get the 4 leches!!

Great flavors across all dishes. Extremely nice waiters but was a bit slow between plates and restaurant wasn’t very full. This didn’t deter on food quality at all. Everyone in our party of 12 was happyFood: 5/5

Had the Sunday Brunch, which consists of an appetizer, an entree and a dessert. They start you out with some freshly fried potato chips which were a pleasant surprise. I chose the empanadas, skirt steak entraña and Quatro leches. Empanadas were flaky and flavorful, the steak was tender, the potatoes well seasoned. Overall it was good, but not the best I've had. The biggest issue I had was the portion size. Being my first brunch, I was caught off guard by the silver-dollar sized empanadas and overall smaller portions. Service was attentive, although not necessarily the warmest I think Guatemala spoiled me. Nevertheless it was definitely worth it and I plan to return for dinner.

We stopped into Sal y Pimienta Kitchen during Houston Restaurant Week. They offered a $55 4-course dinner with an appetizer, soup, entree, and dessert. I felt that the food was very delicious, particularly the steaks, and was happy I was able to try a variety of dishes thanks to the HRW menu. I ordered the ceviche, lobster bisque, lamb ossobuco, and chaja for my course options. We also tried the calamari strips, empanadas, flank steak, wagyu ossobuco, 4 leches, and flan. The ceviche tasted very fresh and had a decent amount of fish. The calamari strips were extremely delicious and fried to perfection. The empanadas were okay. The lobster bisque was interesting. It tasted more like a butternut squash soup than a lobster bisque and did not contain any seafood at all. The lamb ossobuco was quite an entire shank and very tender. I felt that the flavor got a bit old after a while. The flank steak was probably my favorite and had an amazing grilled flavor. The wagyu ossobuco had the same flavor profile as the lamb shank but with a beefy flavor instead. All of the desserts were delicious. The chaja was refreshing, the flan was packed with flavor, and the 4 leches wasn't overly sweet. Overall, I was satisfied with my visit to Sal y Pimienta Kitchen. I was thankful for the Houston Restaurant Week menu since it gave us the ability to sample a variety of dishes at a fairly reasonable price, considering the prices of the normal dishes on the menu. I would recommend people to visit when celebrating a special occasion, but am not sure if I would see myself coming back on a frequent basis.

Very nice place. The food was absolutely delicious. Order the four course dinner and everything was good. It just took a long time to get all of our food. The staff was very nice and friendly. Different crowd then what I’m used too but recommendedRecommended dishesCalamari Strips

Leonardo was our server! Phenomenal! Food was fantastic, HIS wine pairings were out of this world, rice and quinoa were over salted, not everything else was most scrumptious! We will be back and will request Leonardo!!!Food: 5/5

What a great steakhouse. A traditional Uruguayan food restaurant. The service was perfect. The chef gave us a great explanation of the difference between Dried-Age and Wet-Aged steak. The wine was lovely. The empanadas apetizers were on point. I can honestly say in Sal y Pimient I had the best steak I have had in my entire life. Parking: Lots of parking in the outdoor mall. Can park on the street or in parking garages

Went here for an early birthday dinner. I went with the 4 course meal: Ceviche, Salad, Veal Osso Buco, and 4 Leches. Ceviche was fresh with plenty of fish, great acidity! Osso Buco was perfectly cooked with a rich sauce with a great pairing of the polenta, Tres Leches was also fantastic. All of my friends also enjoyed their respective dishes. Service is great, even when it started to get busy, they were still very attentive. Will most likely return for their Sunday Brunch.

Very good restaurant. Filet was very tender. I recommend the veal lollichops, filet and crème brûlée. Wonderful date night or any special occasion.Food: 5/5
