About the restaurant

Inspired by long days on the Gulf, late nights on the ranch and the colorful creations of our abuela, our family's Kitchen & Cantina showcases the rich foods and traditions we grew up with on both sides of the border.

Nothing matches the flavor of food grilled over mesquite. Try wood-fired Texas quail swaddled in homemade tortillas, jalapeno rellanos stuffed with house-made chorizo and sizzling, family-style parrilladas - huge mixed platters of wild game and fresh vegetables, topped with pico de gallo and queso fresco - a unique spin on Houston barbeque.

Our days begin roasting chilies and tomatoes, rolling fresh tortillas in our bakery and wringing every last drop of Ruby Red grapefruit for cocktails. We hand-grind our own sausage and hand-trim every ounce of meat in our butchery, then anoint it with the savory seasonings and marinades we've honed over generations.

A few margaritas on our patio and you've found your new casa sweet casa.

Food was amazing and wine selection outstanding. Set ice was good except that our mains were served when we had only half eaten our salads. This is not appropriate at a restaurant at this level.

About the restaurant

Dress up or dress down. A bourbon, or a beer. A ribeye, or a burger. Once you're here, you'll find that "Yes is the answer!" is our culture and genuine service is the reason we are Houston's premiere spirits and scratch kitchen destination.

We’ve lived in the Woodlands for 20 years now, and for many years enjoyed Sakekawa - first in Sterling Ridge and then at the Research location. It became the birthday celebration restaurant for the kids and now grandkids. However, we were there last in June of 2024 and although we were pleased as always with the food and the “show”, but we were very unhappy with the fact that it wasn’t clean. We were actually sliding on the floor - like skating - because it was so greasy. We were very disappointed. So, now today was a birthday for our 10 year old granddaughter and she insisted it was her turn at Sakekawa, so we went again. I’m pleased to say they have it all back under control. The place was spotless and, as usual, the food was great too. Tomas was our chef and he bent over backwards to cater to all the kids at our cooking table. The rest of the staff was friendly and attentive. We are happy to have our go-to place back in our good graces!

Brazilian Steakhouse

About the restaurant

Avenida Brazil stays true to the foundations of the traditional Brazilian churrascaria. We offer a world class upscale dining experience with several of the finest cut meats, amazing side dishes, desserts and a full bar that includes red & white wines from across the globe.

The experience is split up into two parts

Part 1: Salad Bar - After being seated, guests can help themselves to our gourmet salad bar stocked with more than 30 fresh items.

Part 2: Meat - At each of our seats, we include a coaster with a red side and a green side. Once back at their table, guests can start signaling our gauchos (meat servers) by flipping over the coaster to the red side. This indicates that the guest is ready to enjoy the 13+ succulent meats, which include lamb, beef, chicken, and fish. As an accent to the meat, we provide five delicious side dishes.

The restaurant was busy on a Friday night, which is a great sign. The service was great. The food was fresh, served hot, and very delicious. I ate more than I should have, but it was so tasty I couldn’t resist. I’d recommend the fried chicken, house double pan fried noodles (crispy and not on the menu), Mongolian beef, crispy honey chicken and or shrimp, well just about anything. It is all good.
