The decor reminds me of a Dali painting or Tim Burton film. Ask about the coffee beans. Delicious cuisine. Perfect for biz & romantic dinners. Top the evening off w/ table side flamed tres leches!
Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Don't miss: Churrasco steak; grilled beef short rib with aji glaze; corn-smoked crab fingers; chupe de langosta (Peruvian lobster bisque with smoked panela cheese); tres leches. Read more
Houston PressNovember 13, 2014Sit at this South American hotspot's bar, lounge or patio to enjoy a happy hour with Latin flair. The "social hour" menu features a selection of $2.50 brews and $6 cocktails and wines by the glass. Read more
Susan GFebruary 14, 2017Had beef empanadas, a house cobb salad and tres leches cake for dessert. Everything was delicious!! And the decor alone deserves a visit.
Ian MohammedFebruary 15, 2015Good was excellent and for Valentine's Day night we didn't feel stacked on top of each other, however I wish we got the service from our waiter that he gave the table next to us.
Daniel OrozcoDecember 1, 2015Had the sea bass. Plantains were okay. Had better. Fish was excellent. Love that jasmine rice. Decor is pretty dope. Will return. Tres leches is pretty cool for a show...not that good on taste.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012Bold flavors and foods from North, Central and South America and dramatic presentations and new dishes like the ceviche flight as well as old favorites such as the tender churrasco steak.
NicoleJuly 7, 2013By far, the best South American restaurant in the city...The food is superb, the Mojitos are delicious and the décor is fabulous!
Brittany WaltersApril 21, 2017The empanadas and the chicken wings as starters! A must have is the Tres Leches cake for dessert.
Houston Press Street Team ManagerMay 7, 2013From 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., Américas will serve a buffet brunch featuring classic dishes from Cordúa, and endless mimosas and Bloody Marys.
Henry's Hungry HoustonSeptember 12, 2010Give it to the Cordua family. They've done it again with this much needed addition to River Oaks. Get the all-time customer favorite: churrasco. Finish it off with the best tres leches in town!
Randy GoswickMay 7, 2017All the food is excellent but my highest recommendations go to the lobster corn dogs and the Churrasco steak- Christy LandesJanuary 24, 2015Bar review only. Good: pretty space, great happy hour food and drink values. Bad: slow service and valet. Would try again. Empanadas and ceviche quite good!
- Lisa MckelveyFebruary 22, 2014Great place to eat Al fresco (weather permitting). Love those plantain chips and the different dips. Yummy.

- Patrick HaleyFebruary 22, 2015It's pretty hard to go wrong here. Great service and top quality food. I'll go here for the plantains alone.
- Elizabeth SmithMarch 29, 2015The food, the wine, the cocktails.. All amazing. Sit on the patio for a great experience!
Andres ElizondoJanuary 11, 2017This is the sister restaurant for Churrascos. My advice is to stick to the happy hour servings, unless you got the money or the coupons.- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Inside track: The bar here makes a fabulous Pisco sour, and there's an interesting bar menu to go with it.

- Henry's Hungry HoustonDecember 12, 2010Crawfish taquitos are to die for! Get the mouthwatering Ceviche too. Nobody does Latin like the Cordua family.
Absolutely Amazing. Incredibly Vibrant. Delicious Cuisine.
Jessica H.September 25, 2010Ask for Marlon and try their version of key lime pie. Everything was delicious!
Ron Grant, Realtor®November 6, 2011The decor is super cool! Like no other place I have seen...you gotta see it!
DavidOctober 22, 2011The corn smoked crabfingers are the best!!! Add "The Churrasco 10 oz, & you're in business!!!
Meagan GAugust 21, 2011The staff is an embarrassment to the quality of food served. Found a piece of plastic in the bread pudding & manager did nothing but insincerely apologize. Needless to say, I will not be returning
