 Churrascos Restaurant Review: Owner Michael Cordúa is credited with bringing South American cuisine to Houston, and his menu --- like the colorful and polished décor --- reflects all of its flavors. All diners can start with fried plantains and garlicky chimichurri sauce. Consider moving on to the elegant corn-smoked scallops appetizer, served with mushrooms and a huancaina sauce. The signature entrée is the grilled churrasco steak, marinated beef tenderloin, so moist and tender you don't really need a steak knife. For variety, try the achiote grilled shrimp with avocado, queso fresco and pico de gallo; or the exotic cerdo marinero, marinated pork tenderloin with lump crab meat, avocado, yucca and shrimp. Vegetable side dishes that accompany entrées are innovative and rich with smoky flavor: snappy grilled yellow squash, zucchini and potatoes, along with garlic spinach, sautéed mushrooms and fried yucca. It's filling fare, but we always save room for the tres leches cake; the dense vanilla cake is laced with three creams and smothered in a rich meringue topping. |
