This self-service grill, part of the Cordúa empire, serves casual Latin cuisine. You're guaranteed to get in and out fast unless, of course, you can't stay away from the plantain chips and salsas that are free for the taking. Enjoy a delicious ceviche, an amazing burger or the dish that made Cordúa famous, the churrasco steak, a beef tenderloin served with that famous chimichurri sauce. Finish with one of the best tres leches cakes in town and a cafecito.
When there was still an Amazon Grill on Gessner near Westheimer, I ate lunch there -- on average -- once a week. It was an easy choice to please a pack of picky co-workers, as it offered everything fr... More »
Where: Amazon Grill, 5114 Kirby Drive, 713-522-5888. What $13 gets you: An okay salad topped with normally stellar ceviche, and unlimited plantain chips and chimichurri. I think of ceviche as someth... More »
The "Amacones" at Amazon Grill are tacos shaped like ice cream cones. Four corn tortillas are freshly fried into perfect cone shapes and then stuffed with layers of stewed chicken, pico de gallo and guacamole with a perfect grilled shrimp on top.... More »

The pineapple adds a hint of sweetness, which counteracts not only the lime juice but the peppers as well. The lime juice alters the texture of the fish, making it tender,... More »
The plantain chips at the Amazon Grill are long -- the entire length of a plantain -- as well as thick, crispy and golden. There are lots of them, and best of all they're free. You can choose from two dipping sauces; one's a chimichurri (parsley, olive oil and garlic), the other a mango, and both of them are wonderful. There's an art to piling them on your plate so that you don't embarrass yourself if they fall off, but of course you can always go back for more. More »
The love's run dry, and it's time to sit down and talk with the person you've been seeing. It would be rude to suggest a meeting at KFC. It would be misleading to go to somewhere romantic, like Aries. And it would be dangerous to visit any bar, which could lead to excessive drinking -- and a final shag. We suggest breaking up at Amazón Grill. The atmosphere is clean, bright, loud and decidedly neutral; the walk-up service casual; and the Latin cuisine, especially the corn empanadas... More »
