Authentic Brazilian restaurants are hard to come by. We…read morewere in town for work, and our little family stopped by to get some tasty Brazilian food. Everything was fresh and delicious. The young man working was so accommodating and patient. We got all of our Brazilian favorites, and really enjoyed our dinner. We even got a nice little dessert at the end. Brazil was decked out all over the restaurant, that was nice TVs, and you do have to walk next-door to use the bathroom, but it's easy. I would most definitely go back there, if you're looking for Brazilian food in this area, this is the place to go !

Upon arrival, the Glorious Salad Bar is the first thing you see. it was like the heavens opened up! I was scared because I had my mind set to Carnivorous ~ was able to find some restraint. Everything offered at the salad bar was divine! When the skewers of meat started to arrive, we first tried the different sirloins, which were a little gamey. I hated to waste food but onward we went! The Flank Steak (medium rare) was by far our favorite, we even got seconds! (Still I wonder what happens to all the well done pieces we did not consume?) Beef Ribs were meh. Pork Ribs were Excellent! I could believe the crust on it and meat still so tender. Sausage on Skewers and Pineapple on Skewers also a Fave. Cheese bread arrived before we even put in a drink order. I kept thinking my adult children would LOVE that touch! The ONE thing I can't stop thinking about the next day (today) is the Candied Bacon from the Salad Bar!! Awe Man. I'll go back just for that. They have the perfect kick, too. Service was great!

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Estampa Gaucha in Raleigh. At $65 per person, I…read moreexpected much better quality and service. The food itself was just okay--not terrible, but certainly not worth the price. The salad bar was very basic, and the lettuce appeared old and tasted sour. The biggest issue was the service. The staff seemed rushed and careless throughout our visit. My husband's finger was cut by a staff member, and water was spilled all over my dad's shoes and shorts, as well as my mom's purse. The spill was never properly cleaned up while we were there; instead, a wet floor sign was simply placed over the area and left that way until after we left. The restaurant was also uncomfortably hot. Everyone in our group was sweating while eating. I overheard staff mention that it was because there were too many people inside, yet they continued seating more guests instead of addressing the issue and ensuring current customers were comfortable. It felt like maximizing profit was a higher priority than providing a pleasant dining experience. When we asked to speak with management, the general manager was unable to communicate with us in English, which made it difficult to address our concerns. The assistant manager was friendlier and able to communicate more effectively, but by that point the experience had already been disappointing. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant. For the prices they charge, I expected far better food quality, customer service, and overall hospitality. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. If I could give this place 0 out of 5 stars, I would.

The thing is, every single time I ate there something was wrong or they didn't have most of the items on the menu. The pictures on the menu look very good but that's not how the food actually comes. I took my husband there to try some Brazilian food and unfortunately I had to tell him that this wasn't what I expected. The rice was warmed up, the picanha was hard to eat and they gave us plastic dinnerware which makes it hard to cut the picanha. They didn't have brigadeiro and the coxinha looked and tasted different.

She handled all the seating, taking orders, making the food, and delivering it to the tables. I sat at the bar counter and had the pleasure of watching all the magic happen. I had a chicken breast and wing with two sides: green beans and rice. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly, as was the rice and green beans. I opted for the regular, but tried the spicy and had some regrets. Will go spicy next time! A few other dishes were made while I was eating, and I will try some other items on my next visit. They also do breakfast during the week; I will have to check that out too. I'm a foodie, and having access to this type and quality of food in town is such a nice change of pace from some of the other options around. Congrats, Little Portugal!

There were several tables when I walked in, and she got everyone's drinks, took their orders, made the food and then dropped it off! You have to have a little patience of course, this is not a fast food restaurant, but let me tell you, it was worth the wait! I ordered the 1/4 white chicken with green beans and Portuguese rice. The flavors blew me away! It was some of the best chicken I've ever had. And the hot sauce on the tables is beyond reproach. I asked her if she sold it, and she said no. But she needs to! I can't wait to dine here again.

Great birthday experience at this Brazilian Steakhouse here in Greensboro…read more It's a tough one to rate overall so let me break it down... Overall: 3.75 Atmosphere: 5 Service: 5 Meat variety: 5 Meat quality: 3 Salad bar: 3.5 As a traditional Brazilian Steakhouse, they do it all in style. Excellent service all around, with fresh and hot meat circulating the dining area all evening. They bring out steaks, chicken, pork and lamb in different styles and variations. We've been to a few of these throughout the country, and the variety here is excellent, but the quality of the meat is right at average. The salad bar was fresh as well, but lacking a bit on variety and options for those that choose not to go with the all you can eat meat dinner option. The service and atmosphere make for an excellent evening out, and our server was absolutely hilarious all night long. Give it a little love in the meat quality department and more salad bar options, and you'd have a 5 star experience no doubt.

The variety is about 4-5 different cuts and there's a lot of meat that's placed in front of you to just fill you up.

So when I saw this little bakery, I thought why not support a little local bakery? The girls were very, very friendly so of course that made me happy to spend my money there. We got samples of chocolate candy and guava juice. We ended up getting Brazilian carrot cake, which tastes nothing like American carrot cake. It was unique and not too sweet. The guava juice tasted like it was straight from the tree. It didn't taste artificially sweet or anything. The croquettes were different, but not sure that I'd order again.

I pulled up to Guasaca didn't ask…read more1000 questions this time since the young lady couldn't answer one so I took matters into my own hands. I ordered the crispy shredded beef with cheese arepa with the cilantro sauce and the chilled chicken avocado snack with chips. The shredded beef was very tender and flavorful, I tried it w/out and with the cilantro sauce, both bites were great; the price is not half bad being under six dollars. The chill chicken avocado snack with chips is another great option if you want something light. The mixture was very light and creamy. The chips were ok, they didn't have any seasoning, not sure if I got a bad batch or if they don't season the chips. If anyone goes before I visit again please let me know. I don't necessarily need the chips. The price for the snack is also under six dollars too. Guasaca has three locations in Raleigh (Lake BooneTrail, Spring Forest Rd and Hillsborough St.), I went to the Lake Boone location because that was the location I visited many years ago. This is a place I will be visiting again, I may try another location and I hope to have the same quality of food. Happy Eating!
