Churrascos, located at 9705 Westheimer Rd. in Houston, is a South American restaurant that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue, known as churrasco. Owned and operated by Cordua Restaurants since its founding in 1988, Churrascos is one of their seven award-winning restaurants in the Houston area, including Americas and Cordua Catering. Churrasco is the term used to describe a barbecue in Brazil, similar to the Argentine and Uruguayan asado. In this style of cooking, a variety of meats, including pork, sausage, chicken, and the signature skirt steak, are cooked on a purpose-built churrasqueira, a barbecue grill with spits or skewers. The skirt steak, which comes from the beef plate primal cut, is incredibly flavorful but known to be a tougher cut due to its connective tissue. At Churrascos, guests can experience the authentic flavors of Brazilian churrasco in a vibrant and lively atmosphere. Alongside the mouthwatering assortment of grilled meats, the restaurant also offers a range of other South American dishes, including ceviche, empanadas, and seafood. With its commitment to quality and a true taste of South America, Churrascos is a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors in the Houston area.
