Brasaylena is a Spanish chain of Brazillian Churrascarias - a buffet offering where freshly cooked meats are sliced at the table. We like this format, and were interested to see what the spanish twist would look like. The restaurant interior was clean and simple, with a chain restaurant feel. Staff were friendly and helpful, but generally in a bit short supply - when we wanted extra drinks or sides, it took a while to find someone. Many similar restaurants have a high quality salad bar with Brazilian offerings. There was no salad bar here, but instead a few sides with free refills (contrary to another review here on yelp). These included green salad, fried bananas, french fries, mashed potatoes and a few others. They were fresh and basic. A wide range of meats were on offer, and the selection was quite diverse including pork, chicken as well as beef. There were less cuts of beef than some similar places offer. At the start of our meal meat supply was good, but after a little while the restaurant seemed to be struggling to keep up with everyone as there were few skewers passing around the room. This is one of the hardest challenges of running these restaurants. Meat supply is the reason I dropped to 3 stars. Cost of food was less than other similar places in the USA. Overall, this was a satisfying but not great experience. I would try a different restaurant next time we wanted Brazilian.
In most restaurants, presentation is important. I really hate the expression "you eat with your eyes", but it's true that the look of the plate is important. Not so much at Brasaylena. A bowl of salad to share is provided to start, and that's the last you will see of vegetables for the rest of the meal. That is, unless you count the fries. My wife asked for chips, thinking she was getting tortilla chips. Oops. But, they were tasty, so no loss. After that, you get a succession of meats brought to your table, and sawed off the shank onto your plate. You will see no pictures of food on the plate here: Brasaylena is all about substance over style. And, there is a lot of substance. There were 9 or so different meats brought to the table: beef, chicken, pork, prime rib, ham, chicken, chorizo...the variety was incredible. And, you could ask for as much off the skewer as you wanted. And, the "meat waiters" came around again to offer more as the meal progressed. Quality varied somewhat from meat to meat. The beef on the first skewer was a bit dry, but the second round - after we had 8 other meats delivered - was better. But, by then I had eaten what felt like several pounds of meat. If I had wanted to eat more, I could have: the "meat waiters" kept going from table to table, offering more. The ham was excellent: smoky, salty, and flavorful. The chicken was nicely roasted and succulent. The tiny chorizo were flavorful. The pork was fatty, but a good kind of fatty, where the fat adds to the flavor. Very tasty. The prime rib was a bit dry, but the char on the exterior was gloriously salty. I lost track of how many different things we had here. Portions are as small or large as you want them to be. I advise starting small, and waiting for the next round of meat if you want more of something. And, no need to flag down the "meat waiters"...you never have to wait long for the next one to arrive. Dessert seems absurd after eating all this meat, but you may as well try it since it is included in the price. The quindim de coco is a Brazilian coconut custard with a hint of sweetness. The grilled pineapple with coconut ice cream, though, was magical. Even though my stomach was hurting, I wanted to eat more. And, the price is incredibly reasonable: 22€ each for meat, meat, meat, a drink, meat, a dessert, and more meat. After another round of drinks, the total bill for 3 of us was 70€. Come here with an appetite. You will not have one when you leave. read more

Came across this place with my Brazilian friend after a quick internet search. I am grateful I got the opportunity to try this place while visiting from the US. My friend was raving about Brazilian food so we came. Unfortunately, they didn't have any of the traditional sauces you would have at other Brazilian restaurants but besides that, the service was great and the food was good. It kept coming and coming but at one point we realized the best-tasting meats hadn't hit our table yet. Fortunately, we remembered and asked for them. Everything tasted so delicious and for the cost of the whole experience, it was worth it. read more

This may be the best meal we've had in Spain. Prices are very reasonable for very tasty and generous servings of beef, pork, chicken, ham, salad, rice, beans, vegetables, bread, plantains, caipirinhas, beer, wine, juice, etc. The service is excellent! This restaurant is very clean. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. read more
