I never would have found this place without Yelp & GPS. Total score. I'm a big fan of Lomo Saltado, in fact ordered it last night at my formerly favorite restaurant in the Mission. It was way too salty. So finally found Brazuca truck. You order & pay on a screen. Of course I wanted the Picanha Saltado, which was described as better meat than the plain old Lomo. He was right. Tender strips of marinated steak, onions, tomatoes & a side of rice. Didn't notice the little red things (peppers), but the side salsa definitely added a kick. More juice please. So very tasty, I plan to go out of my way to return. No regrets, Support Local! read more

What a gem to find! It was my first time eating Brazilian food and it was delicious. I tried to beef tacos and it came with the yuca fries (highly recommend). I also tried the corn chowder and it was exactly what I was looking for. The food came out quickly. I believe there's an option to order online or on the phone as there were people picking up food. I can't wait to try more items from their menu. read more

I was hyped on the place. The burrito was very disappointing. The steak meat was tasty but the burrito had hardly any meat and mostly rice and beans. The picture on the menu is very detailed for what you would expect inside, but they put so little of each thing it's as if it was not there. The egg was at the very bottom. Paid extra for cheese but it was undetectable. $20 for mostly rice and beans, unacceptable, even for SF hipster fusion standards. My coworker also said the first time was better but he noticed how much different this time was. Sorry Brazurito, you won't be getting g any more of my business. read more

I have been to the Brazuca food truck countless times. I love Brazilian BBQ so I had to try this spot and I have been hooked since the first time. I usually get the picanha lomo saltado. Their picanha is always juicy and tender with the right amount of fat. The fries are well cooked and i love the addition of the tangy biquinho peppers. This time I also got the quesadilla which was bomb. It's surprisingly not heavy and the Catupiry (Brazilian cheese spread) is so cheesy and yummy, a bit like cream cheese. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I got the fried rice and I wasn't expecting the food to be as delicious as it was to be honest. The meat was super tender and juicy and the salsa on top really balanced out the heaviness of the fried rice and cheese. The flavors went so well together and I devoured my food wishing that I had more just because it tasted so good. I ordered beforehand and it only took 15 minutes to be prepared and be ready for me to pick up and the food was still warm. I will definitely be coming back here to try the other items on the menu. read more

Brazuca Grill is my obvious answer to lunch when I'm in the Dogpatch neighborhood on a weekday. - Bowlzuca: So much variety in a single bowl! From beans to an egg (fried to your preference) to your protein of choice, you won't get bored eating this. The garlic chicken was soft, tender, and flavorful and the accompanying salsa really brought it all together. - Taco combo: $4 extra for yucca fries, but don't underestimate them! They're sizable, delicious, and gone too soon. I think the veggie taco comes with some kind of black bean mix, but the steak taco was my standout, especially when dipped in the cream sauce. The food truck is located on 22nd and Indiana, which is near Woods Yard Park, a great place to peacefully enjoy your lunch! read more

A Brazilian food truck that has some fusion options like tacos, burritos, quesadillas and fried rice. They also have bowls which seem more traditionally Brazilian. I really liked the chef's specialty of Brazilian Fried Rice, which I never had before. Picanha Bowlzuca: Reminded me a little of lomo saltado, except without the fries. Big cuts of tasty sirloin with red onions and tomato chunks in a nice sauce. Also, there were some not-that-spicy little pickled peppers too. Really great taste. Not a huge portion though, so you'll probably end just eating rice, beans and fried egg in your last few bites. Brazilian Fried Rice: Basically everything thrown into fried rice then wrapped in a melted cheese shell. The crispy browned cheese was a big differentiator compared to normal fried rice. Lots of different meats and a bunch of black beans. And some nice sauces on top. Think I liked this mishmash here more than the bowlzuca, which had everything separated. read more

Wowww... soooo yummy. I thought this meal was good. I ordered tacos! I think the mixture and combination of flavors make for a memorable meal. Will definitely be ordering again. The truck sits right next to my apartment building and I smell the food each time I walk past with my dog. I finally ordered and wasn't disappointed. I think I'd need to try it a few more times. Although it was delicious, I feel as though I may have a few other favorites in the city. But that won't stop me from ordering again sometime. read more

Brazuca's truck caught our eye during the craft fair at Pier 70 this weekend. We got the quesadilla, a cheese bun, and the Brazilian fried rice. The quesadilla was perfectly cooked and flavorful. There was nothing that was especially Brazilian about this quesadilla but we didn't really mind since it was so good - it was something you'd expect at a top notch Mexican place. The fried rice (pictured) was being marketed as an especially Brazilian dish - it was $17 and has good portion size. We couldn't finish it one sitting and took it home. In terms of flavor, we appreciated the fried cheese on top of the rice but the mixture of meat (beef, pork, AND chicken) was a bit too overwhelming for us. Maybe we should have just asked for one meat and not the default mix. Overall a good experience and the staff on the truck were very friendly! read more

This was my first time having Brazilian food. We were in the neighborhood to tour the Cable Car Carpenter show which was very cool if you get a chance to go. This truck was parked in nice area and my husband and I both had tacos. I had steak and he had garlic chicken. I even bought a jar of the red peppers. The tacos were very good and fresh. Meats were juicy. We will be back when we are up in the city again. read more

Be expecting loads of awesome flavors from anything off their menu. The food is always cooked to your likings and never UNDERCOOKED! Most people that are not hip to well seasoned food will always talk down about any restaurant they encounter. But you won't have to worry about that here. My coworkers and I have never gotten sick or had any loose bowls after stuffing our faces with anything off the menu from their truck. The customer service is tip too. They treat all and new customers as family. The line to wait is just minutes and we'll worth it. The bad part is that you'll want to keep coming back for more. HANG OVER??? This family knows the cure to that issue. The pulled pork is to die for!!! read more

I'm very surprised to see Brazuca on the road, during COVID-19. I found this catering truck on 20th and Michigan ST in San Francisco. I have not have any food out of a taco truck, since COVID-19 started. I was afraid of cross contamination. I decided to order 3 Brazilian Spicy Chicken Tacos and of course, the Brazilian soda. They were delicious down to the last bite. It was loaded with juicy chicken pieces and highly classified pico salsa. All on a toasty corn tortillas. Exactly how I like it. read more

There are floor-to-ceiling windows in the main dining room, revealing a slice of life on Market St. in the City, with the antique F Trains, modern Muni buses and people making their way in this cozy city. Beautiful buffet. I was literally eating like a king, so I took my time and appreciated each bite. The buffet dishes are enough to get full on, so I always restrict myself here, just getting some butter lettuce to do wraps, some preemo guac, some brocc, the bean soup is great, I'll get 2 french fries and 1 yucca and 4 caramelized plantains. There's so much more. You've got a whole mess of delicious greens to keep your meal balanced. I typically don't eat any meat from the buffet, I prefer my salmon to be a little more undercooked. Did I already say cheesy bread, because I will have another refill, thanks! When you're ready for the meats, you turn the little wheel on your table to green, the staff comes over with some steaming goodness and you ready your tongs to catch a fresh slice of meat (thank you, glorious cows), then turn that wheel to red when you have the portion you need. My friend and I practiced some spirituality and had to say a respectful "no" when the chicken and such came around. We came here for the meats! Tonight, the customer favorite meat was favorite-ing, that's the top sirloin. Not dry! The beef ribs they rolled out on the cart were a welcome spectacle and the fall-off-the-bone meat was melty and succulent. While I love the Peanut Butter Thing for dessert, we decided to listen to our bodies and throw in the towel. That was until the staff came out with a scoop of prime vanilla ice cream and a birthday candle and a song in Portuguese. Staff were super attentive, responsive, warm and generous. I recommend it for a special event or for a meal treat.

You can ask for more honey on top if they circle back around. One of the best side dishes! 5/5 - Key Lime Pie - Soft and sweet! You'll enjoy choosing this as a dessert to top off your dinner experience. It might not look like a big slice, but you'll still find it quite filling! 5/5 - Cheesecake Brulee - Same with the key lime pie. The strawberry sauce was not too sweet or strong. Looks very aesthetic and also comes with great flavor. 5/5 - Caramelized Pineapple Old Fashioned - The strongest tasting cocktail that we tried. Still tastes like the classic old fashioned you've had but definitely one to sip while you chat at dinner. Highly recommend this drink! 5/5 - Premium Caipirinha (Traditional) - A great lime-flavored cocktail that is also fun to drink at lunch or dinner. If you like Cachaca, I recommend trying this out! It's not a cocktail you typically get at other bars. 5/5 - Yellowbird - Fruity flavor profiles complement the Blanco well and the design of the drink matches its name. If you like passion fruit and pineapple, you won't be disappointed.

After…read morelanding from my flight and walking down along the Fisherman's Wharf to see the piers, we stopped at Cafe de Casa for our first bite and a place to cool down. The interior is honestly gorgeous. There's a lot of seating and fun decor all around, and it feels like a place you'd want to sit and hang out for a while. The menu is displayed on the wall and offers Brazilian style cafe items like cheese breads, sandwiches, pastries, and specialty drinks like matcha, coffee, and seasonal beverages. Right away though, the service felt off. The workers came across pretty uninviting and seemed more focused on chatting with each other than interacting with customers, which is always a red flag. The prices are also pretty steep, which might be because of the location. I ordered the pistachio matcha and the Brazilian cream cheese sandwich. I don't like my matcha too sweet because I want to actually taste the matcha, so I asked for less sugar. Instead, I was told they'd just add less pistachio cream. The drink ended up being really disappointing. It tasted super flavorless and almost watery. The pistachio cream itself was nice and had real pistachio pieces on top, but it didn't save the drink. For almost $10, it just didn't make sense, especially when their regular matcha is around $7.60. Also, there were no prices listed for seasonal drinks, so you don't really know what you're paying until checkout. The cheese sandwich was good and warm, filled with that Brazilian cream cheese. It was enjoyable, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. It's about the size of a McChicken and priced at $7.60, which feels a little high considering there's no protein, just cream cheese. Overall, I'm not sure if this is just a tourist spot because of its location near the piers, but I left more confused than satisfied.

Love the window logo decal.

After a workout, I stumbled across this gem- The Brazilian Spot. What caught my eye was the…read moreoutside sign stating that they offered açaí bowls and smoothies and I felt that would be a perfect way to refuel after exercising. The cafe is down the street from Royal Gas and nestled between two residential buildings. Across from it, is a school where buses drop off children in the morning. Anyways, the cafe is cute and reminiscent of a good ol' neighborhood cafe with its modern twists (neon signs, nice coffee menu wooden lettering, a glass case displaying authentic brazilian pastries, which I believe most are savory and much more). To the left of where you stand they have refrigerated/ frozen goods that you can buy to take home which I thought was pretty neat. Instead of an açaí bowl, I ordered the Ipanema- (I love the song Girl from Ipanema, but I digress...it consisted of açaí, banana, and strawberries) I chose to have almond milk as the base instead of coconut and I loved it! The açaí berries was more dominant than the other ingredients, but I didn't mind because I never eat açaí. I also ordered pao de queijo to enjoy while seated- it was so delicious, the cheese inside mixed with the bread was so filling and spongy like). I ordered two beef pastries to go. This was my first time at this establishment and am excited to try more items in the near future!

I think Cafe de Casa also used to make them, but I haven't been in a couple of years. The Brazilian Spot offers açaí bowls, baked goods, and juices on the menu, as well has a small, hot buffet-style section where I think you pay by weight. There's also shelves of imported, Brazilian grocery items on the left wall, which is pretty cool if you're looking for more specialized goods that aren't typically available in your regular grocery store. There's a handful of tables and chairs, but not a lot of seating otherwise. The pão de queijo was still warm in the bag when we picked them up. Their version was too salty and dense for my taste; the pão de queijo of my memories from that spot on Balboa Ave was bouncier and airier than The Brazilian Spot's (they also had fun flavors like guava). If I *really* get a hankering for pão de queijo again, I might come back, but otherwise, the search continues.

The restaurant has an upstairs as well. Our server was very nice and pleasant to speak with. Gave us some recommendations on the menu as well as drinks. We started with a cocktail and a glass of red wine. For our appetizer we had the Pulpo, coliflor and Hueso Asado. The pulpo which is octopus was nice and tender. Really delicious. The coliflor was okay. It was a little dense for me. The Hueso Asado was scrumptious, buttery and full of flavor, but half of a bone marrow was too small for an appetizer and only served with 4 small thin crostini. For entree we had the Ojo de Bife and Malbec short ribs. The Ojo de Bife which is the rib eye was delicious and grilled perfectly. The meat was not as tender, but the meat itself had a lot of flavor. The short ribs were excellent! Very tender and scrumptious. I would order this again. They should bring back the beef tongue or Lengua. I heard it is a must try. Anyway, we had a great time. It was a great atmosphere and love the vibe on this place. Would definitely come back!

The dishes were between $15 - $20, and the kabob plates allowed you to select two sides from 3 selections (yucca flour, yucca stew, and beans). I've had yucca, but not in flour or stew form. I thought the stew would be a soup, but it was a steamed piece of yucca, which was not bad. I learned what it was after ordering it. Also, yucca flour is literal flour that is in a small ramekin that you would sprinkle on all your other food items. I am pointing this out to anyone who is a first-timer at a Brazilian restaurant. I experienced, got schooled, and passing the knowledge to you. As the previous reviewer said, the pot of chili in oil on the table is fire, so eat in moderation. It has fantastic flavor but is very, very spicy. All the dishes were unique and tasty except for the beef kabob, which was overcooked steak on a stick.

It has all my favorite elements! Crispy Mini Fries, Juicy Succulent Shrimp, Cheesy Rice with Ham & Peas! The Fresh Acerola (Brazilian Cherry) Juice was also a little bit sweet and tangy!

My party of 3 dined here on a Saturday for a little girls night and snagged a reservation on short notice (just a day prior). Honestly, the experience was underwhelming. We ordered a pao de queijo to start with two entrees to share. The pao de queijo, coming with just three measly balls, was dense, dry, and far from worth the hefty $8 price tag. The pao de queijo at Fogo De Chao is far superior which is not saying much, but at the very least, the famed Brazilian BBQ restaurant chain offers their bread gratis. The two entrees we ordered were the seafood stew and half rotisserie chicken. I'll admit the chicken was wonderfully cooked with every morsel succulent and juicy. But, the bed of rice was a tad too overcooked and the scant vegetables left the cohesive whole disappointing. Again, the seafood stew was underwhelming and the pilaf-esque rice seemed to make up the bulk of the "stew." I'm not sure if I'd dub seafood atop an oz or two of gravy as stew but perhaps stew is a subjective term.
