Sometimes nothing but a prime cut will do, and there are plenty of top steakhouses to explore in the area. Start at Agora Churrascaria, a Brazilian-style all-you-can-eat meat “buffet” where the servers come to your table—and don’t stop until you call it quits! A hot foods and salad bar, separate dessert menu, and extensive cocktail list complement the endless top sirloin, skirt steak, beef wrapped in bacon, beef ribs and so much more.
Mastro’s Steakhouse is an upscale establishment with plenty of steaks, chops, seafood and sides to choose from. The New York pepper steak, filets, porterhouse, herb-rubbed options and bone-in Kansas style cut are all favorites. However, their one-pound baked potato is a challenge many come to Mastro’s to take down.

Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse is a local favorite that features the famous two-pound cowboy steak. Their BBQ is delectable, with the cowpoke top sirloin and 16 oz. porterhouse always making the “cut.” The 8 oz. “tenderfoot” filet mignon melts instantly in your mouth, and the dessert menu with their Hot Cherry Gizmo—a cherry filling wrapped in a fried tortilla, deep fried then dressed with ice cream and cherry sauce—is a real work of art.
