4.7 / 5.0(17,426 reviews)
Highly reviewed location. Terrenos were better than other locations. Dobradinha was excellent. Flavor is when you want to lick the plate. But they give you a nice toasty bread. Darn!!! Carne de sol was nicely cooked. Caipirinha was ok. Maybe weak. Staff very friendly. We heeded advice from friends and arrived 30 min before they opened for lunch. Everything we had was delicious and of course we had to get the dadinhos and mandioca chips. I had the suco do dia which was graviola and it was excellent. I feel like I keep saying this but this was my 8th day in Brazil, visiting from Canada and so far this was my favourite restaurant. Food and presentation of food was amazing. Super fast service and the staff was very friendly. I got the Oxtail (Rabada) and a really nice craft beer from Rio called Orange Sunshine.

An authentic Northeastern Brazilian experience. The house caldo is rich, gelatinous and delicious; the mandioca was soft and buttery and all the pesticos were on point. Wished we could fit dessert but we were happily full of food.

The food was ok. After i was seated several server saw me seating waiting and none of them approached me. After 15 minutes waiting for someone to come to the table i had to get up and complain to the hostess for someone to finally come to the table
