PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This is a different sort of place to dine. From the over-the-top decor to the menu of dishes loosely inspired by the national cuisines of the New World, there is nothing ho-hum about dining here. On my first visit, I was a bit overwhelmed by it all, but on subsequent visits I've gotten quite comfortable with the place. When crowded, it's noisy, but the furniture is comfortable, and there are several large round booths that are fun. As with its sister restaurant, Churrasco's, one of the favorites here is the grilled tenderloin -- always a good choice. But for something more inventive, try the relleno, a boneless pork loin stuffed with the masa of a tamal, topped with a grilled shrimp, and bathed in a butter sauce with a hint of habanero chile. Or perhaps the chileno, a broiled Chilean sea bass with sweet corn and poblano spoon bread.
