Texas de Brazil - Carlsbad

Never-Ending Grilled Meat on Skewers Comes to Carlsbad | Eater San Diego

"Landing tonight in North County at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, I note that the family-owned group's 61st location brings Texas de Brazil Churrascaria, the world's largest Brazilian-American steakhouse brand, to town; founded in Texas, it celebrates churrasco with a rodizio-style, fixed-price dining experience. I describe the drill: flip the placard to green and servers bring a steady parade of slow-roasted meats carved tableside — including picanha (sirloin), lamb chops, filet mignon, leg of lamb, Parmesan-crusted pork loin, bacon-wrapped chicken breast and more — and flip to red to stop the onslaught. Also included is a salad bar with more than 50 hot and cold items, including bread and cheese, sushi, and some Brazilian specialties. Adult meals are $47.99 (or $29.99 for just the salad bar); at lunch, dessert and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages are included. The restaurant features an extensive wine collection from California and South America and a bar that mixes several varieties of caipirinhas. Hours: open for dinner Monday–Thursday 5:00 p.m.–9:30 p.m., Friday 5:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., Saturday 3:30 p.m.–10:00 p.m., Sunday 3:30 p.m.–9:00 p.m.; weekend lunch noon–3:30 p.m.; weekday happy hour 4:30 p.m.–6:00 p.m." - Candice Woo
