What People Are Saying About Churrascos

In Short – The interior is earthy and dramatic with black-and-red accents, animal skins and a tropical air. Starters and salads are big and bold, like sweet plantain turnovers filled with queso fresco on guava creme fraiche, or South American-style seviche with hearts of palm, avocado and capers. The infamous Churrasco steak is the main player: a corn-fed prime beef tenderloin (six- or eight-ounce), basted with garlic-parsley chimichurri and char-grilled to order.

I have always been a fan of this place, until 2 weeks ago when I went in for Sunday brunch and there was a rodent running around the indirect lighting above. He was trying to jump on every platter of food that came by. It was not a small rodent. It was the size of a cat.
- Pros: Great food and great service
- Cons: Be aware - keep an eye up for rodent in lights

Not Worth the Price
by HoustonWoman77063
My husband an I went to Churassco's for our first and probably last time tonight. We were just getting off work and we had heard good things about this place so we were hoping to have a good and quick dinner. Instead we were there for two hours waiting over half an hour between each course even though I only ordered a salad with no meat as I am vegetarian. Our waiter hardly checked on us at all and the place was extremely loud.
Not only did the dining take forever, we weren't cared for at all. My husband ordered crab and they forgot it with his meal. Then after we paid for our bill I realized that no only did they charge me for meat on my salad they charged me for the more expensive option of beef instead of chicken. Even with no appetizers and drinking water the meal costed $50 and it wasn't even that impressive.
Skip this one. It isn't worth the price by far that you will pay, it is invconveniant and noisy and there are not even many options to choose from on the menu.
- Pros: The menu has plantains and there is a little bit of a different swing to latin food.
- Cons: Noisy, bad service, way over priced.

Great Churrasco steak and several ceviches
by WolvesDave
I was looking for a casual dinner so I sat in the bar area, not the main restaurant, which looked very nice. Service was good, a pretty good wine list (not that i'm an expert in wine!). There are 4 different ceviches, I tried the crabmeat which was really good. I went with the 6 oz Churrasco steak, which was very good. perfectly cooked and just the right size for me, they had 3 larger sizes. It was served with a platter of sauteed vegetables and rice. Great place, probably more for a formal dinner, but I wanted to try it out. Would like to go back with a group and try the dining room experience.
- Pros: Great steak
