It is only a block further than the most busy block which has 4-5 restaurants but it is worth that extra block of walk. The grill chicken on the stick with tomatoes, red pepper and onion is enough for two and was delicious. We also had the beef which cooked to exactly how we wanted - medium rare.

I have to say better than many Japanese restaurants in Houston. The service was alright given we don't speak Portuguese and depend on google translate.

There are Japanese restaurants with higher ratings here, but I honestly don't know why. You absolutely have to try the chawanmushi (an egg custard), which you will not find on another menu here. It is excellent.

Amazing food, meh service…read more We were first in after they opened. The servers started out strong and rapidly faded as other patrons arrived. Not from being over-worked; they just stood near our table chatting amongst themselves commenting on the guests. Whilst serving a pasta entree, our waiter managed to land a big plop of oily sauce in the middle of my shirt and said nothing. I had to ask for some more napkins and he awkwardly offered a squirt of the alcohol used to clean their iPad screen. We poured our own wine/water after the first glass. The food was excellent however the waning service and sauce incident tempered my enthusiasm as the meal progressed. The staff seated all new arrivals right next to us on all sides and establishment grew much louder as more guests came in. Seating here is a bit more cramped than I prefer. Again, really good food, mid service.

This place just uses salt and pepper. The other place I think has some Asian influence in their seasoning. Not all the wait staff here speak English but there was one particular waiter who spoke a lot of English and was able to help us a bit. The place was fairly busy when we got here but there were still a lot of empty seats. The desserts were okay. Some fresh fruit and assorted pastries and cakes. I think some of the taxi drivers get some kickback or are friends with the owner so the drivers will recommend this place and when you come here, the drivers get a free meal. That's what happened with us. I was originally planning on going to another place but the driver recommended this place and it seemed non-touristy so we came here. There were a lot of locals here but throughout the meal service, I just felt like I was stuffing meat down my throat. It wasn't particularly tasteful and thus I did not have much of an appetite. The waiters keep coming over with various types of meats but a lot of their meats were overcooked and when we tried to ask for medium rare or rare pieces, it never came. I also have a suspicion that the local people like their meat more well cooked than us. I can not whole heartedly recommend this place. Overall, average food for an average price.

A local Brazilian spot that speaks just enough English to make English speakers feel welcome. Large…read morespace that can seat large parties. Contrary to other reviews, I thought the best thing about this joint was the salad/dessert buffet bar, which is reminiscent of Souplantation in Western United States. Some of the items include spinach, lettuce, beets, carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, chimichurri, tomatoes, and some of the fruits include mangoes, pineapples, melons, basically very healthy compared to the typical heavy Brazilian fare! And desserts such as homemade flan, jello, and pudding. Of course, there are also French fries and fried yuccas to round out the buffet. As for meat, there were about 6 different meats that came around, plus grilled cheese and grilled pineapple, and as other reviewers have said, they were all quite salty. It was only edible in our minds when paired with the salads and fruits. Overall, would recommend at $32.50 Brazilian reales on a Sunday (I think usually less than $30 on weekdays?). Great deal for us, but keep in mind my party was used to NYC and LA prices.

First of all, I'm fairly sure the location on Yelp is wrong. The restaurant is one block south,…read morethen one block west of the bus terminal. If you can find it, definitely give Gaucho a try. For those who aren't aware of the Brazilian Churrascaria format--this is basically a delicious meat buffet. And in this case it's a buffet for approximately $10 USD per person. You can't go wrong there. I really enjoyed the casual yet authentic vibe; many Brazilian families were inside, celebrating birthdays etc. The various meats were great too, of course, but I thought the unspoken hero of the experience was the side bar, where we got to sample many Brazilian dishes. For tourists looking to sample the country's cuisine dish-by-dish, we couldn't have picked a better place to try a lot without being committed to one item ordered off a menu. Eat the chocolate pie type thing! Another tip: they accept Visa.
