Choo Choo Churro, Orlando
I had dinner at this Argentinian Steak House on Lake Underhill Rd (off 436 parallel to 408) last Friday. It's slightly hidden. I had Sweetbreads with white rice for $23. It came with bread, garlic butter, salad and Chimchurri. The sweetbreads (2) were large. It was enough for two. Although I prefer them fried (melts the sinews), they were fine fire grilled. The rice was plentiful. The bread was warm. The garlic butter seemed home made. The salad was fresh. The entree came it a skillet. A very simple and satisfying meal. The service was great. It was a cute place that is mainly a patio. They enclose it in the winter. It's open now. It's decorated with little pans and nick nacks. The had a lit grill in the rear. The tables and chairs are wood. It seats about 24. It was half full. They said it was a light crowd and people tend to come later on in the evening. The inside seats about 12 more. They have a live guitar player (who may have been the owner). They played soothing Latin music over the speakers. The place succeeds in transporting you out of Orlando. I really recommend this type of place over the buffet style, all you can eat Churasscurias around town. This is more in line with what you can expect if you go to Argentina. They have a good wine list and many cattle and seafood based options.
