The staff was attentive throughout our visit, making sure our drinks stayed filled and the table remained clean. They even had a cute little photo backdrop set up for guests, which was a nice touch for Mother's Day. The food was buffet-style with a large variety of options. There were several protein choices including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood, all of which were well seasoned and cooked nicely. They also offered a variety of sauces to pair with the different proteins. The buffet was constantly being replenished, so everything stayed fresh and hot. My mom especially loved the root salad and lamb chops, while my favorites were the crème brûlée and the osso buco. Overall, there was a huge spread of food with plenty of variety for everyone. My only recommendation would be to have better labeling on what everything was as sometimes there wouldn't be a label otherwise My mom loved it, and we'll definitely be back.

The lunch menu came with a choice of either soup or salad, which I got the lentil soup. The soup was thick and hearty. It was very good. My steak was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The sides were well-seasoned too. The size of the steak, to me, was sufficient and considered big for a lunch menu. I had a triple chocolate tres leches after my steak. It was the perfect ending. I received warm and excellent service throughout my lunch. The restaurant is big and suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant, so that is a plus point.

Outstanding server with quick service as well.

This Argentinian grill and market has been on my radar to stop by for the past few months…read more It is easily located in Spring Branch off Hammerly and Gessner. We came for the specialty market to buy some items from Argentina. This place was packed with every table taken and several people waiting on a Sunday at 3pm so it must be really good. We saw homemade alfores which I absolutely love and they even had the crackers we love at their small market. With pictures of Argentina and Messi on their walls you tell the warm friendly atmosphere although busy. Will definitely return for lunch or dinner after reading the Yelp reviews. This place looks legit !!

Oh.my.goodness. I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more To be honest, we discovered it by accident since we were in an area about 30 minutes from our home. Needless to say, those 30 minutes are worth it and I've already been twice! There is free parking which is always a plus. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are in Latin America. The decor is pretty neat and they sell traditional Argentinian candy, snacks and chocolates. We tried the Argentinian empanadas (because of course we had to) as well as the choripán and they were good but my favorite by far was the Chinchulines (small intestine a.k.a. chitterlings). Yum! Service has been great both times. If you are interested in having an alcoholic drink, call ahead of time to inquire as you are able to bring a bottle of wine but there is a corkage fee. I will DEFINITELY be back!

Only downfall was a bit of a hiccup with the food but it worked out in the end.

The restaurant has a good family vibe to it also. I really like businesses like these. 5/5

Each one is packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made with love. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime Houstonian, Marini's never disappoints. A must-visit...and revisit.

The place was tucked off in plaza I had to get up in there and was so pleasantly surprised. So cozy and cute. They have a great selection of empanadas and all the ones I had were sooooooo good. The spinach was a little juicier than I anticipated but everything was made so fresh. The Tia Maria and eggplant were my favorites and the sauces were a great addition in flavor. The dessert empanada sweet potatoes was top tier. The filling was just sweet enough, definitely want to taste the others, especially since they make their own fruit fillings. I can see how they've been around for so long. New customer alert !

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.

During our first experience, in which we were the only table in the restaurant, the food was amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly, my wife's chicken dish was juicy and full of flavor - the experience was exactly what we hoped for. It was such an experience that we made the decision to dine on New Year's Eve. This decision proved to be a mistake. My steak, ordered medium rare, was served with inconsistent temperatures throughout the steak that featured medium rare to medium well. The wait for our food and the general service left much to be desired despite the lack of people in the restaurant. Overall, Churrascos features a pleasant and intimate atmosphere, and I'd choose to eat here again during a slow time to ensure the quality of my food. However and due to this previous experience, I am unable to provide high praise for a restaurant that prices itself as one that deserves it.

This time I called in an order for tallarines saltados and two whole chickens for my family. They told me it would be ready in an hour, which was fine. When I arrived to pick it up, the owner handed me the food and casually said he replaced my tallarines with lomo saltado -- without asking me first. He said it was "a better choice" and that they were out of tallarines. I told him clearly that I did not want lomo saltado, but he kept insisting, so I just took it to avoid arguing. When we got home, the real problem started -- both chickens were undercooked, tough, and hard to chew. It was so bad that I told my kids and family not to eat any of it, and I ended up throwing everything in the trash. I paid good money for this meal, and we didn't get to eat at all. Changing an order without consent and serving raw chicken is not acceptable. I won't be coming back.

The only thing I regret is not telling them how to prepare the egg. My egg came out well done, but I prefer over-easy. I especially enjoyed the unexpected complimentary appetizer of a cup of stewed lentils. I will be back! :-)
