   Everyone’s food was delicious and presented beautifully. I got the scallops and substituted the side to be their mushroom risotto and it was amazing.

   Showed up at 7 on a Thursday. Basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. There was a large party in a private room but they had doors closed and another table in the main dining area. Services was good but not great. The waiter barely spoke English. He didn’t understand what we asked for and brought us extra food we didn’t intend to order. He said he would remove it from our ticket. We were offered a free desert as a birthday gift since it was my birthday dinner but that also was on our ticket at the end. They did remove both items at the end with no issue. We waited over 30 minutes for our food even though we were the only table eating. But that could just be expected for steakhouse. The food (NY strip medium and Paella) was fantastic and will be going back again.

   People are missing out if they are not enjoying Churrascos on a regular basis! We celebrated the kick off of Spring Break 2025 with our family and enjoyed everything about our meal. From the plaintains to start to the tres leches for dessert, what delicious food coupled with exceptional service. I expected to see the dining room full…unfortunately it wasn’t; but it should be on a regular basis. Come on people! Go to Churrascos NOW!

   I booked a reservation thinking this was one of those Brazilian steakhouses where they walk around slicing off meats for you. And it is NOT that lol. So don't go here if you're looking for that!!! It was a little confusing because the Brazilian barbecues that do that are called "Churrascarias" so I kinda assumed this place was like that. Otherwise, the food was really good! We went on Valentines and they had a separate menu from their normal menu, I believe. It was $75.99 per person and you choose one appetizer, one main, and one dessert (per person) with options for sides that cost extra. For apps, I got tiritas and my partner got the smoked lamb lollichops. The tiritas were very crunchy and had a sweeter taste because of the plantain crust on the calamari and they gave us a lot of them that I needed help from my partner to finish them. The lamb lollichops were really small lol. There were 3 and 3 yucca fries in total on the dish. I guess we shouldn't be surprised at the portion since this restaurant is considered "high end/fancy." It tasted nice, a little tough to get off the bone, but maybe that's just me cause I'm not a lamb person but my partner likes it, so... yeah. For the mains, my partner got The Churrasco (8oz steak, medium) and I got the Churrasco Argentino. I tasted his and it was okay, but mine?? WOW. The sauce that comes with the Churrasco Argentio was heavenly and the potatoes were so flavorful! The steak filet itself was AHHHH!!! Sooooo delicious! They didn't ask for how I wanted it cooked, it was already cooked to medium maybe because it was butterflied (I'm not a real food critic lol). And the flavor!!!!! SOOO delicious!!! I wiped my plate CLEAN. So did my partner, lol, but I liked my dish much more in terms of flavor and contents (I'm not a big fan of vegetables lol). For dessert, we got "The original tres leches" and the "Delirio de chocolate." The tres leches was very moist but too sweet for me and the chocolate cake was DELICIOUS! 100/10.

    The hostess greeted us warmly & promptly seated us at the table of our choice. Ambiance is warm, welcoming, with many areas of the restaurant that can accommodate privacy or larger groups. Our server team was amazing, very attentive & knowledgeable. The food was amazing, served in a perfect timing & temperature. Flavors were bursting with the freshness of ingredients & ingeniously crafted to blend together. I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet date night or an evening with a larger group of family & friends.
