Churrasco in Miami usually means Latin American grilled skirt steak or tenderloin-style steak served with chimichurri, rice, beans, fries, or salad, while chivito is the Uruguayan steak sandwich version with ham, cheese, egg, and toppings. Order **"churrasco a término medio con chimichurri"** (medium steak with chimichurri) or **"un chivito canadiense"** (loaded Uruguayan steak sandwich) when the restaurant is Uruguayan. Expect $22–45 for churrasco plates and $14–25 for chivito sandwiches, with lunch specials sometimes cheaper. The trap is ordering steak at a generic South Beach Latin menu where the grill is secondary; go to Nicaraguan, Argentine, Colombian, or Uruguayan specialists.
