A Place to Meat and Greet
A Delightful Fusion: Amazon Churrascaria
Amazon Churrascaria in Fullerton, California, is a unique blend of steakhouse and barbecue that offers a memorable dining experience.
A Meaty Encounter
In May 2005, I had the pleasure of enjoying a lunch with a Hollywood friend. Our conversation revolved around movies and, notably, meat?"tri-tip, pepper steak, garlic steak, beef kabob, and top sirloin.
At Amazon Churrascaria in Fullerton, Orange County, the focus is undeniably on meat. This Brazilian-style restaurant combines the elements of a barbecue and steakhouse, with waiters circulating the room bearing sword-length skewers of steaming, freshly grilled meat.
A Brazilian Ambiance
The decor exudes Brazilian flair. A waterfall graces the entrance, while faux jungle plants and panels reminiscent of ancient ruins adorn the walls, evoking a Rainforest Cafe vibe, minus the animatronics and flashy lights.
Interestingly, the restaurant has hints of the American Midwest with its central salad bar. It offers mayo-based salads, three-bean varieties, cheesy breads, and soups. A standout is the banana frita?"ripe banana strips rolled in cinnamon-flavored flour, deep-fried, and sugar-coated.
The Dining Experience
The dining setup is straightforward with red oilcloth-covered tables, well-used water goblets, a selection of Chilean table wines, and, of course, the meat servers. Keep the tabletop spindle green-side up for endless servings, red for a pause, and sideways for the bill.
For lunch at $12.75, you can enjoy a dozen cuts, including beef, pork sausage, giant chicken drumsticks, and turkey cubes wrapped in bacon. Dinner, at $21.75, expands to 22 options with additions like skirt steak, ribs, ribeye, lamb, roasted salmon, and exotics such as alligator, duck, quail, and chicken heart.
An Inviting Atmosphere
The aroma of smoky meat is pervasive?"either tantalizing or overwhelming, depending on your preference. The experience starts as soon as you arrive, greeted by enticing barbecue scents and a large photo banner showcasing a meat server with an array of skewers.
Introduced to this “meat palace” by my friend during our Atkins Diet days, both of us appreciated the outdoor and indoor flavors. My wife, however, found it overpowering but enjoyed the dishes like skirt steak and ribeye. After several servings, she opted for a dessert served from a rolling cart by Jessica, the “dessert girl,” featuring a delightful chocolate cheesecake and pineapple sorbet served in a hollowed-out pineapple.
A Unique Offering
Restaurant manager Roman Alcaraz notes the loyal clientele drawn to the restaurant, including area Brazilians and the diverse immigrant community in Orange County. Owner Kent Choy, inspired by a client, opened the restaurant in December 2002 as the only one of its kind in Orange County.
Currently unparalleled in the area, Amazon Churrascaria offers a unique place to meet?"and meat?"a friend.
