    Stopped by for their buffet style Sunday brunch. It's a nice place with a lot of options to choose from. Along with the numerous buffet options, they also had an omelette station which I loved. Only con was that that the eggs had no flavor so I definitely had to add my own seasonings to the omelette. All the other food was great and filling. Took off a star bc we felt like for it to be a buffet, we had to wait pretty long each time we wanted to go get another plate. Also because when we were seated at the table originally, there was a long hair across the menu and one of the water glasses they gave us was a bit dirty so that needed to be replaced. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would come back.

    This was some of the best food! Everything was flavorful and fresh! This was my first time here and it was a great experience. The welcome plantain and sauce was amazing. The bread pudding was awesome and I typically do not like bread pudding

    We came in with our family on a Sunday night . The restaurant is located up the stairs. The place was a ghost town when we came in around 6:30pm. We ordered ceviche, empanadas, and guacamole for appetizer. All were delicious and fresh! We ordered steak and fish, which were also delicious and perfectly cooked. Our waitress barely spoke English and got our order wrong, but otherwise the food and drinks were fantastic.

    12/4/2025: From start to finish, I had a wonderful experience with Churrascos. I worked with Marsha to book our staff Christmas luncheon for a group of 55. Marsha was prompt and clear on her communication, pricing, and details. We booked a private room for our event. The room was spacious and the setup was perfect for our group. Upon my arrival the day of the event, the Churrascos staff were all very accommodating. We needed a small table for raffle items and we requested the speaker to be turned off for us to talk. Marsha and her crew were happy to help and make everything perfect. The tables were set with plantain chips and salsa. The red and green salsas were so bold and zesty. They had a smokey flavor that was delicious! We had an abbreviated menu for our event. A choice of soup or salad to start, chicken, beef, or pork for the main entree, and a choice of tres leches or flan for the dessert. Everything was so delicious! I started with the Caesar salad. It was good with a light drizzle of dressing and a large crisp crouton. The bean soup that was also available was apparently very good. Even non-bean people were impressed with it. My friend and I wanted to try both the chicken and the beef, so we each ordered one and split. The chicken was my favorite. I loved the rice and gravy bed it was on with delicious cap mushrooms. The beef was good too. There was a nice grill flavor to it and it was very tasty. The space is beautiful and they offer several types of seating in an intimate lighting. Very impressed. In the 6 years I have been planning the staff Christmas luncheon, I have never received so much praise and good feedback. Everyone loved the meal. It was the best meal I've arranged for my company and the best meal I've personally had in a long time. I will be back with family and friends soon.

    Red Sangria

    I came here for a friend's birthday brunch on a Sunday. I ordered a red sangria and we had the buffet. The food and drinks were excellent, but unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. Drinks took an unusually long time to arrive, and when it came time to pay, we were only given tip options of 18% or 20%, which felt restrictive. Typically, restaurants either allow you to enter your own tip amount or automatically include 20% gratuity for larger parties, which would've been understandable. What made matters worse was that it took about 40 minutes just to get the bill. When I asked the server about the delay, he explained that their system is outdated and very slow, something they've apparently brought up to management several times. Overall, while the food and drinks were great, the service experience definitely impacted the visit.

    This was my HRW stop #3 and it was amazing! It's located on the second floor above State Fair. You have to take the stairs as there is no elevator. Parking is limited but complementary valet is available. As you walk in you are greeted by the host and seated. I chose to sit at the bar on this visit. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. I also had servers stopping by to ask if I needed anything. I ordered off the dinner menu. My first course was the crab cake, which was amazing! The jalapeño remoulade was just right. It elevated the flavor profile and was just the right amount of spice. My second course was the Pollo Azteca. Thai chicken was super tender and very juicy. The chipotle crema was a perfect pairing with the mushrooms and bell peppers. The final course was desert and I picked the Flan. Hands down the best flan I've ever had. I'll be back again before HRW ends!

    Food is very good and the waiters are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant could use a bit of ambience music though.

    It was fine. We stopped by for brunch yesterday. Water and beverage service were impeccable, however I'm not sure if they and the waiter communicate effectively. Our bill was off and when it was fixed, they added auto gratuity. Stinks because the tip would have been higher bad they not done that. When it comes to the food, Smash: Prime rib Made to order crepes Made to order omelets Salads Pass: Frito mixto Chicken options Plaintains - I love these normally but they weren't worth the cals here Valet parking is free- make sure you tip the drivers tho!

    What happened! This was once a favorite but recently I hosted a large party at this restaurant and was so disappointed. Service was amazingly incompetent. Drinks were not served for some until multiple requests, some food orders were missed and then delivered five or more minutes after everyone else, some orders confused and plates botched. I never saw the like. The food was not the quality I remember either. I get it, large parties are hard but if your going to be this bad about it then limit your tables to size you can manage. Finally, when it came time for me to pay the check the server became confused. First he came out with an bill for $52 which of course was wrong. Then he offered one for $3100 and though correct was much to high for what this place offered; and the amount didn't match the itemized breakdown. I had to get an explanation and after further confusion decided the included a gratuity. I'm ok with an automatic gratuity for large parties but the restaurant needs to list this as a line item and not be sneaky about it. That's untrustworthy. Never again

Nothing to want to have again, I've had better. The lamb ossobuco with polenta was tasty and a big portion. My husband's beef brochettes weren't cooked to his liking. The rice that came with it was delicious. Good wine pairing for both entrees. Figs and mascarpone dessert was not to my liking. The mascarpone was heavy on the lemon. It took over the whole palate. Chocolate ganache cake was good. Was the quality worth the price? Not for me.

I had a steak cooked to perfection with sweet plantains, and it was absolutely delicious. They offer an extensive menu featuring flavors from Argentina to Venezuela, with plenty of options to choose from. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and in a timely manner. If you are in the Spring Branch area and craving grilled, savory, authentic food, this is definitely a place to check out. I will absolutely be coming back. A true hidden gem!

As I got older, I would pass by it myself and always wanted to stop in...but life kept being life and I just never seemed to have the free time. I was finally able to stop by yesterday! I absolutely loved how the decor starts from the outside...it immediately draws you into the experience. The inside is vibrant, full of life and just feels welcoming. I was warmly greeted as I walked in. I headed toward the register and on my left I saw something that immediately caught my eye: Alfajores. Now, Alfajores are these wonderful sandwich cookies that are especially popular in Argentina and Uruguay. They're unique because they're traditionally made with cornstarch rather than just flour, giving them that wonderfully tender texture. They're filled with dulce de leche and often coated in shredded coconut. Some are even perfumed with lemon zest, depending on the region. I knew immediately that I'd be getting some. I ordered the Gaucho and the Chicken Diablo. The service was cordial and sweet: big smiles and a genuinely warm demeanor. The young lady told me my order would be ready shortly. She gave me an exact number of minutes, but I honestly forgot how many she said! I then turned around and, lo and behold, it all clicked. It was called "Marini's" because of the owners. To my surprise, there was a painting of a face I recognized. Years ago, my family and I attended a church called Centro Familiar Cristiano. Marcelo Marini! He has the kind of face you don't forget--very recognizable and distinctive. I thought it was lovely to discover that he was one of the owners. I only wish I had known years ago that this was his family's business. I absolutely loved how the restaurant is decorated. The writing that guests have left on the walls gives the place so much heart and personality. I've never been to Argentina, but Marini's gives me the impression of being a little getaway...a small glimpse of what it might feel like to experience Argentine culture. The young lady who took my order brought everything out with another smile. The Gaucho was fabulous. It was well seasoned and I loved the added detail of the olives. The chicken was shredded, tender and well seasoned too. The crust was crispy without being greasy. I also really enjoyed the chimichurri and the red sauce, which had a pleasant little kick of heat. And the Alfajores were spot on: tender cookies, rich dulce de leche filling and that coating of coconut that gives them such a wonderful finishing touch. I really enjoyed my visit to Marini's. Next time, I need to eat inside so I can fully enjoy the atmosphere while I eat-maybe with a glass of Malbec.

I'm pleased to report that the food lives up to the name and most everything was quite sabroso and very Venezuelan.

There are some refrigerated items for grab and go while ordering is done at the counter. I'd recommend calling ahead of time for faster pickup. If you're able to order in Spanish, do it. The food gets a thumbs up. Much of the menu is Venezuelan specific which includes cachapas, arepas, tumbarachos, patacondes, and tequeños. While they have a "menú Mexicano" that features quesadillas, tacos, burritos, and tortas, I'd avoid it if at all possible. The arepas might appear to be smaller, but they're packed. I personally loved their jamón y queso guayanés, in which the latter is a thick slab of gooey cheese.

The pelua (beef + cheese) and reina (shredded chicken with avocado) will be my perpetual favorites and the cachapas with tequeños are also particularly hearty.
