Best steak ever. Esquire, Urban Spoon, City Search agree that this place is phenomenal.Churrascos is an upper-scale South-american inspired restaurant that can be found in two locations in Houston. They specialize in
They started us off with plantain chips with two sauces: light, crisp, salty chips paired with a tangy red vinagrette and a robust pesto-like sauce.
Then we continued with taquitos. Soft, airy tortillas filled with shrimp rolled in bacon, avocado, and more.
I ordered the churrasco (clearly, since this place is named after this dish) - center cut beef tenderloin, aged and seasoned with chimichurri. I'm definitely not a steak eating type of person. But I ate every single piece of my steak. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I don't think I'll ever eat an American steak again. Brazilians do it so much better.
We definitely had to top off the meal with dessert. 'Delirio' is a dense chocolate cake
layered with chocolate ganache and topped with flan. It is paired with a raspberry sauce and white chocolate. I will attempt at making this. (I'll keep you informed of the day I succeed.)More info: http://www.cordua.com/
