Stephanelle JonesApril 15, 2012The need robs are fantastic. Buttery melt in your mouth food. Almost identical to Fogo de Chao. the service was exceptional and not over salted. Thank you. This is my new place.
The managers Mauricio and Eric are awesome! Ask for Jorge as your server when you walk in, and tell him to make you the bananas with condensed miles and cinnamon. So good! Perfect way to end your meal
Onur OksuzMay 2, 2017i have been to this locatin a lot of times, i'm really love the meats here. they are always fresh and delicious, they are making a lot of unique and deicious salads as well.
Rodger DodgerAugust 11, 2019This place is so incredibly good - it is beyond words! The salad bar is specular, the meats are perfect & the cheese buns are a tiny fluffy piece of heaven!!
Marc SJanuary 3, 2016Excellent churrascaria, better value than some alternatives so recommended. There is a private room that seats ~16 good for group events or business meetings.
Danae DehoyosMarch 22, 2014This place is amazing. Service is fantastic, and there's nothing to complain about. Had a wonderful dinner and would definitely go back! Still dreaming about the delicious meats.
Rebecca TranNovember 10, 2012Delicious. Lamb chops are to die for. Side dishes are subpar, plantains/tajadas & cheese puffs were the most outstanding. Salad bar: smoked salmon, artichoke hearts, & potato salad were highlights.- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Don't miss: Marinated shiitake mushroom caps; baby pork ribs; giant beef ribs; picanha (bottom sirloin); double lamb chops; fried polenta squares; flash-fried plantains.

Rebeca MijaresJune 11, 2014It's a MUST ! The food is amazing and the service is e ven better! Gorgeus salad bar and my favorite picaña. Don't forget to order a caipirinha!- Serra CMarch 9, 2019Best brazilian steak house ever. Salad bar always fresh and delicious. Special ask beef ribs. You should ask more cheese bread.
Mystical GentFebruary 3, 2017Delicious food, excellent service and a cigar friendly patio. Top notch and easily one of the best restaurants in Houston.
KrisAugust 1, 2013The service here is awesome! Skip the salad and just go green for meat! And be sure to get a caipirinha! You won't be disappointed with this restaurant.
Alexander BüchJanuary 20, 2018It’s just a great Rodizio. The meat is fantastic, the only downside is the place is so huge that it’s quite noisy when busy.
Adel MahramMay 9, 2022I love how they serve the meat.. Fresh and right from the grill.. Make sure you are starving before visiting this place!!
One of the best Brazilian Steakhouses in Houston - the quality of food, service and atmosphere. Reasonably priced for a churrascerria. Be hungry and enjoy the splurge.
Melba CoffeeAugust 17, 2013Love this restaurant!!! The waiters are very attentive. My plate was never empty. We will definitely be returning here!!
Zulema PlascenciaAugust 2, 2012The sevice is amazing and the food is even better. I'm impressed every time I come. Strongly recommended! Try the Picana meat and papaya desert!
Annie WangFebruary 10, 2013We had our family chinese New Year's Eve dinner gathering here tonight. Thanks to Eric, the manager, and his team's great service, we truly enjoyed the food and the service.
Houston PressOctober 23, 2014Would you like to try our picanha? It's our most prized cut of meat," says the server dressed in a tan-colored shirt with a red scarf around his neck. Read more
Alex S.October 18, 2012Ask for tea with fresh mint and lemon at the end of the meal. Helps to alleviate the 'stuffed' feeling after indulging on the plenitude of their great meats.
Eric came straight from Fogo de Chao and he's making sure Chama Gaucha is as good or better than Fogo but costs less. Welcome back to Houston!
Jonathan CorcuttNovember 13, 2012Great food and great value! Just make sure you arrive hungry! The salad bar is pretty good with a wide selection.
This is the new modern fogo de chao. The quality of food & service is impeccable. Try the top sirloin & the prime rib...it's excellent!
- Wait staff is absolutely amazing. Their lemonade is also extremely delicious! Lamb chops are freaking awesome.
Servers make you feel ROYAL. The quality of food is amazing. A must for every meat lover.
Chris StaplesNovember 10, 2013Try the lemonade! Delicious! If you want to make it a cocktail add a shot of vodka.
Andrea GonzalezJuly 27, 2013The bar salad is really god. I love the cheese bread!!! I love the Food and service of this place.- Ahmed AlkaabiAugust 15, 2015I could't stop eating ,, they have the best meet in town ,, ask for beef ribs and Filet mignon
Jeff WagnerFebruary 20, 2014Amazing; best quality selection & service of all the Brazilian steakhouses I've tried.
Alejandro MenocalApril 29, 2015Great place for a nice dinner date with your significant other! Great meats!
Crystal GomezAugust 24, 2013You NEED to try the lemonade! It's very, very good. Plus they have free refills ;)- Service is superb. Eating cheese bread and having a drink while you wait is great.
- Oh yeah! They've added grilled jalapeños and onions to their table sides.
- This place has the same and better version of the meats than Fogo de Chao but better prices and service. The spacing of the tables doesn't make you feel like you're at an upscale Golden Corral.
Michael MarchisinOctober 11, 2014Gauchos running around like crazy. However Filet and Ribeye steaks are delicious
Abdulla KuwariMay 19, 2015Come here and make sure you bring your appetite good food and upscale service- Alex S.October 18, 2012Excellent service and great food. Beats Fogo de Chao. The prices are cheaper, too.
Dyana L.October 10, 2012Amazing food and awesome service by everyone that works there.. Will be back
- The salad bar is a complete clone of Fogo de Chao. Right down to the presentation of the cheeses, rice and beans. IDENTICAL.
