Description

At this fabulous Cordúa brothers enterprise, it's easy to revel in the signature charcoal-grilled tenderloins, garlicky chimichurri sauce, plantains and extracurricular vegetables. Unusual South American-inspired pork and chicken dishes, great appetizers and bargain lunch specials all provide lots of bang for the buck.

  • 2005 | Best South American Restaurant

    Self-taught, Nicaraguan-born chef Michael Cordua was the first to introduce Houston to South American cuisine when, in 1988, he opened his first Churrascos. This culinary pioneer showed us the flavors, aromas and dishes of lands such as Nicaragua, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, expanding our vocabulary with words like plantains, ceviche, empanadas, churrasco, yuca, chimichurri and, of course, tres leches. The trail he blazed has inspired many other Latin cuisine concepts, broadening our... More »

  • 2003 | Best Plantains

    In Latin America, plantains -- raw, mashed or fried -- are what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So it's no surprise that they show up all over South American menus in Houston.

Throw in the amazing dipping sauce, and it's a good thing the... More »

    The taquitos de brochetta ($15) appetizer at Churrascos (2055 Westheimer, 713-527-8300) always goes fast. At first glance, it appears the tacos are made with chorizo, but the small flour tortillas actually contain thin slices of bacon-wrapped shri... More »

    The rain was coming down in buckets when we left the Latin American Film Festival at the Museum of Fine Arts, but we managed to stay dry enough to enjoy a nightcap at Churrascos (2055 Westheimer, 713-527-8300). With most customers already seated a... More »

    Legend has it that former Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips was so impressed with this appetizer the first time he tasted it that he proceeded to order two more platters for his main course. I can understand why. The Marineros ($14) at Churrascos ... More »

    Great stop after a night in Deep Ellum, since they're open late and have terrific salsa. Try the spinach enchiladas - so very, very good.
