I took advantage of the buffet. There were a lot of options but I only really loved two things - the fried chicken and the fried shrimp. And every time I went to get more shrimp, there wasn't any in there. The bread pudding and chocolate desserts were both delish. There was an omelette stand, but it was not good at all. And didn't have good meat options - no bacon; no sausage. Probably because its a Latin American buffet - ok, understood. I just did not think the buffet was worth $30 plus when there were only two good edible options and a few desserts.
Great Service from all the staff, including our waiter Walter.
Great tasting Steaks and veggies!
Overall, great value!!
Great service waiter very attentive. Food was awesome. Love the plantain chips. I definitely recommended. I would go back next time I'm in Houston.
The brunch buffet food was cold.
Easter brunch
Tables were very tight
The Sunday brunch had an assortment of delicious meat options (beef tenderloin, ribeye, plantain wrapped chicken, tilapia, fried shrimp). The pork was the only thing I didn't like because it was very bland and unseasoned, so there's no flavor. Did not know that brunch was $40 on holidays instead of the usual $30.
Wait staff was really busy but pretty attentive. Lunch was yummy!
Great food and great service!
Delicious food as always. Great service. Quiet for conversation with friends.
We went to Churrascos for our favorite Tres Leches and it did not disappoint. The Caipirinhas were amazing and the food was good. We had a good get together. Outdoor seating was perfect especially with the beautiful spring weather. I recommend this place for doing well in derive, ambience, food and drinks!l
When the best part of the meal is the free plantain chips....you leave a bit disappointed. Food was very heavy, and salty without actually being all that flavorful. Can't comment on the drinks because I didn't have one.
Food was excellent and great taste
Service was very good
Excellent food and service!
Excellent service and phenomenal food! Totally enjoyable experience.
The empanadas we had as a starter were great. The main courses were way too salty and disappointing.
A very nice dinner. Steaks were delicious and perfectly cooked. Sides were very tasty. Waitress recommended a nice Chilean cabernet sauvignon offered at a special "rodeo" price and it was very good.
Not a good one
The Churrasco w/ adding the Setas sauce is the best steak I've ever had! Great food from appetizers, to entree to best Tres Leches anywhere.
Brunch was great. Good variety, excellent food.
Longtime Houston staple. First time visiting in 2 years. Loved the chicken empanadas and the pollo encamisada has been a good dish there for years. Service was 3.5 stars. started good, but then dropped off. I would love to see them mix it up and do dinner specials.
This used to be my favorite restaurant. No longer. Something has changed. The food is not nearly as delicious as before and the feeling is much more casual.
Service was very poor. It was very cold inside, we did not order desert because we couldn’t stand the cold temperature. Food was good.
Their steak was not the same this time. we normally go to the sugarland location and their steak has never disappointed us.
But i understand that valentine's day is a busy kitchen for them and mistakes happen.
Enjoyed everything about our evening. Highly recommend.
Great atmosphere, amazing food, and exceptional service! I recommend this place to everyone in Houston!
This was probably the worse I’ve ever eaten at this Churrascos. We usually enjoy the buffet but I don’t know if it was because it was almost 2pm or what, but the food quality was very poor. Gallo pinto was dried out from sitting in the chafing dish. The beef tenderloin was too chewy. Many of the meats were barely warm. I wish we would have been offered a menu instead of the waitstaff assuming we were all there for the buffet. I would have preferred ordering a fresh plate of food rather than paying for a below-par buffet. Probably won’t be visiting again any time soon.
Fabulous service from the moment we arrived until we departed. Expansive menu with a wide range of choices. Unique (for us) in place of tortilla chips and salsa they offer plantain chips. They were wonderful. All of the sauces were as well. We sampled from both the seafood side and from the grilled steaks. You'll want to order the chiles & onion toreados prepared table side. One order is enough for 3-4 to share.
Margaritas were pretty good as well
Start with dessert and work back! Churrascos has the most amazing desserts ( Tres Leches and Pio X). In addition to the desserts, we sampled two types of ceviche ( both excellent), a Churrasco steak ( never bad) and two chicken dishes ( both good, but not outstanding).
All in all, a great dining experience.
We enjoyed dining here during Houston Restaurant Week and finally made it back. The regular menu did not disappoint. Beef and shrimp skewer was outstanding. Coconut ice cream-divine! Nice, reasonably priced wine list. We need to make Churrascos part of our regular rotation.
Great service, as always!
Juan Pablo and all staff were excellent!
First time dining here, and I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Pargo De LuJo. The Brussel sprouts are amazing! I hear the brunch is the place to be. I will be returning to try it very soon!
Even though I spent a good evening, I was not comfortable with the booth, there is no room to come in and out of it easily and no room for the legs either. Also, the vegetarian options are so limited (only one dish) and when I asked if it was possible to pay extra to make another vegetarian dish I was kindly declined.
Good experience.
Great night for food, friends and holiday celebrations!
It is going downhill. Used to be a nice place with good food. No anymore. Service is still good, but the food is below average.
The waitresses were friendly , helpful, and courteous.
It took over an hour to just get an appetizer and soup. After that the soup order was incorrect. Multiple servers couldn't get our order correct. After a second drink was ordered, a wrong one was brought. The manager was extremely pushy in trying to get us to take the drink. We didn't want the drink and she wasn't going to back down. Nothing like having a manager push alcohol on you.
Food was great and prices were fair. Service was very good.
Good but very expensive for the food they give..Service was good ambiance is good.
