    We were so wowed! Everything was great— attractive decor, great service (helpful, attentive— Gladys was super!), and the food was terrific. For an appetizer, we had the smoked oysters (really good- what oysters should be) and for our meals we had the octopus and the elote tamale with shrimp. Both large portions were attractive and delicious. (Chips and tomatillo salsa were great, and our fancy beers— were also yummy— salt lined mugs). Highly recommend and look forward to coming back. Although we Uber’ed from our hotel, there seemed to be ample parking.

    Still a Favorite for the traditional Sunday Brunch, plus! Churasscos' offers a nice selection of some traditional Brunch selections (i.e. Made to order Omelettes, mini pancakes, waffles), along with Churrasco specialties. Everything is prepared fresh, and looks inviting. Plenty of staff on hand to assist, all of which makes for a wonderful Brunch experience.
