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. Churrascos's unusual South American-inspired pork and chicken dishes, great appetizers and bargain lunch specials all provide lots of bang for the buck. The Montrose location features an elegant, though not too fussy, dining area.

    Looks Like Sausage, Tastes Like Shrimp

    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... More »

  • 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. One of the best uses for the banana's big brother is the plantain chips at Churrascos. Known for its tender steaks and divine tres leches, Churrascos secures its loyal following with bottomless baskets of perfectly cut and lightly fried plantain slices. Throw in the amazing dipping sauce, and it's a good thing the... More »
