Churrascos, Houston

You haven’t lived until you have taken a bite of the churrasco—the restaurant’s signature dish—a charcoal-grilled center-cut tenderloin marinated in Latin American flavors. With such a mouthwatering treat on the menu, it's no wonder that Churrasco's is one of the top Houston restaurants. But first, every diner whets their appetite on crunchy plantain chips with two sauces: chimichurri and mireya (the plantains are better with cilantro, but you’ll have to ask for it). Every meal also comes with an unlimited supply of their scrumptious grilled, marinated veggies. The restaurant features an autumnal color scheme, with Fernando Botero paintings on the walls, and hand-made lamps hanging from the ceiling. Churrascos is the brainchild of Nicaraguan restaurateur Michael J. Cordúa (a Texas A&M alum), who also runs the upscale Américas and Artista, plus the casual kid-friendly Amazón Grill. Dress is business casual.
