Texas de Brazil—a churrascaria that started as a family-owned joint in Addison, Texas in 1998 and grew to over three dozen restaurants throughout the U.S. and abroad—has now opened in Irvine at the former location of On The Border. As one does at Agora, Irvine's other churrascaria, a meal at Texas de Brazil is all-you-can-eat, whereupon servers will continuously swarm your table to carve you cuts of 16 different grilled meats as long as you have your place card set to green. Texas de Brazil also has a bar, a wine cellar, and a 50-item seasonal salad area that includes appetizers, gourmet vegetables, soups, and salads.

Tustin Marketplace's Wokcano has also opened. Like all the other Wokcanos in Burbank, L.A., Santa Monica, Valencia, Santa Ana, and Long Beach, this Wokcano features a menu of sushi and sushi rolls. But because of that “Asian” catch-all, you can also expect Sweet and Sour Pork, as well as a Thai-style curry, or Teriyaki chicken, and then add Singaporean noodle to your meal.
