Meat-eaters are in their element at Texas de Brazil steakhouse
It has the plush, woodsy ambience of a classic steak and chop house, with filet mignon, rack of lamb and the other cuts of meat meat-eaters love.
It’s the MO that makes Texas de Brazil Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse, 6533 Las Vegas Blvd. South, a bit different.
Diners are presented with a continuous array of skewered, mesquite-grilled meats tableside, and can partake of a 60-item salad area offering everything from romaine lettuce to tabbouleh and sushi.
The objective is to merge the heartiness and hospitality of Texas dining with the culinary traditions of Brazil, said David Parra, general manager of the Dallas-based chain’s first Las Vegas location.
The fixed price of $44.99 includes both meats and salads, while lighter eaters can feast on salad area offerings for $29.99. Neither price includes taxes, tips, desserts or drinks (which include selections from a 400-bottle wine cellar).
