Their Portuguese steak and eggs is one of the best I've had -- perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and served with that authentic Portuguese touch that makes the meal stand out. Not to mention the papo-seco to absorb all of the yolk and steaks juices. The portions are generous, the food is fresh and delicious, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. It's the kind of breakfast that leaves you completely satisfied and already thinking about coming back for more. The waitress was super kind and attentive and genuinely felt like family. Next time you're around the way be sure to snag a seat near the window for some natural sunlight dining, it's good for the soul.

It was our first time to Fall River so we googled for a place to stop for lunch. We found…read moreMarisqueira Azores Restaurant closed for vacation, so we googled for another Portuguese option, and headed off to Caravela Family Restaurant. They have a limited menu, so two of us ended up ordering the same thing - the Surf & Turf $23 (our signature thin pounded steak in our house sauce with garlic and a red pepper. Served with 5 shrimp Mozambique, 2 fried eggs, rice and fries.). While the third went with the steak plate. The menu stated a $2 plate sharing fee, but we don't remember being charged for a mom and child sharing an order. The sandwich sized rolls that arrived as a bread course were room temperature and came with butter. Service was great. Portions were more than enough, though the seasoning wasn't to my taste

I've eaten at Fogo de Chão quite a few times over the years, and what stands out most is the…read moreconsistency. Restaurants can have off nights. Service can slip. Food quality can vary. Somehow, every time I've come here, the experience has been excellent. I honestly cannot remember a single bad meal. This isn't a place I visit every week or even every month. It's more of a special occasion destination every few months. Part of the reason is that every visit turns into an event. We always go for the full experience, and by the time we leave, we're completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about when we'll come back. The quality of the food is outstanding. Everything arrives hot, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Whether it's one of the signature cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, or something from the Market Table, I've yet to find an item that disappointed me. Usually, by the end of the meal, I've lost track of how many different things I've tried because I'm too busy enjoying all of it. One thing that always makes me laugh is the famous red and green card system. In theory, you flip the card to green when you want more food and red when you need a break. In reality, after a few visits, the staff seems to remember what you like. I've had servers and gauchos walk by with cuts they know I enjoy and offer them before I even have a chance to flip the card. That's not a complaint. It's actually one of the reasons the experience feels so personal. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed warmly. Throughout the meal, someone is always checking to make sure you're enjoying yourself, asking if you need anything, and making sure the experience lives up to expectations. It never feels forced or scripted. The staff genuinely seems to care that you're having a great time. We usually arrive around 5:00 or 5:30, before the dinner rush really gets going. That timing has always worked well for us and allows for a relaxed, enjoyable meal without feeling crowded or rushed. Fogo de Chão isn't inexpensive, but that's because you're getting an experience, not just a meal. Between the quality of the food, the attention from the staff, and the overall atmosphere, I've always felt like I got my money's worth. At this point, if someone asks me where to go in Providence for a memorable dinner, Fogo de Chão is always near the top of my list. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and a level of consistency that is surprisingly rare these days. Five stars without hesitation.

Visited Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill on Saturday night and we had an awesome dinner experience…read more Our party of four was seated promptly at our reservation time. The dining room is very attractive and nicely decorated, and the servers were polite, friendly, and attentive. Our drink orders were taken quickly, and the caipirinhas were both delicious. We made our first trip to the buffet and bar and there were so many choices! Hearts of palm, stuffed grape leaves, everything you could want for a salad bar, cheeses, hot sides, traditional Brazilian meat dishes, cheese rolls, fish, clam chowder and much, much more. While we were enjoying these items back at our table, we also turned our cards to green and strted experiencing the freshly sliced meats. Such a variety of beef cuts, lamb, chicken, sausage, and more. It was all super high quality, very tender, well seasoned, and I honestly don't know which were my favorites. Meat service was frequent - we were never without food and really never had to wait. They just kept coming and coming, and we kept trying more succulent meats. We finished our meal with the most delicious grilled pineapple and also the cheese with honey. Yum! Although there is a lovely dessert menu, we were too full to partake, and the pineapple and cheese hit the spot. The price for the unlimited buffet and meats is just under $50 per person, which at first seems a bit pricey, but when you look at all of the options and the quality of both the buffet and the meats, it is really a great deal! this is the third Brazilian restaurant I've been to, having been to one in Providence and one in Ogunquit, and Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill is by far the best out of the three. I will definitely be back!

All hot and fresh tasting. You literally can't eat all of what they have to offer as there is so much to try. Definitely hard to get pics of the food here as it just keeps coming.

Stopped by here after finding my other favorite local place was closed on a Sunday afternoon…read more Walked in and was immediately charmed by the cute diner interior with small tables as well as stools up against a tiled counter area by a grill. There was a lady putting together puzzles on one of the back tables. There was a simple typical diner menu up on the wall. The man who owned the place came up to us and said they'd stopped serving breakfast but they had a buffet available for $9.99/plate and walked us over to the place and showed us what the options were. It was a terrific arrangement of things. There are daily specials. Sunday's specials were chicken lasagna [delicious and cheesy] and a pork and bean entree with rice and another one that I can't remember (they will give you a menu to take home). There were also standard rice and beans and a few other meat dishes all of which were different and tasty. You could also make yourself a salad but I suspect the place would not be very satisfying for vegetarians. There is a cooler full of local and esoteric sodas including pineapple and regular and diet guarana sodas. We filled up a few platefuls of food while we were there and ate and talked to the friendly owner about why he did or did not stock certain brands of soda and what he suggested for dessert. We were full so we went with a few containers of take home rice pudding which were sweet and cinnamon-y and amazing. I'm not even entirely sure what I ate at this place, but I really enjoyed the variety of foods, the neat decor and the friendly atmosphere. It's across from a storefront library and otherwise not the sort of place you might think you'd find food this good.

Again, limited variety for lunch, but they change up their specials everyday.

You can order a la carte and they have a variety of Brazilian desserts like flan and brigadeiros (chocolate truffles). Will definitely be back!

And the other food court options were extremely busy. I'm glad I did. I ordered their Option 3, which was Picanha Steak plus rice and beans. The picture might not give it justice but there was a hefty amount of meat. It was a little salty but also savory that it melted in your mouth. I got a heaping pile of white rice with pinto beans. Both were very tasty and complimented the meat with every bite I took. There were other rice and bean options, but I'm not the biggest fan of black beans. For a regional mall chain, it definitely was good. Plus, I had to have a can of Guaraná to wash it all down! All together with tax it came to roughly $21 but it was worth it. I'll definitely try other option they have next time I'm in the area or at another location.

I just remembered having amazing ceviche in RI back then, and randomly stumbling upon them again made me realize it was the same spot, and it's still just as delicious! Ceviche Mixto (5/5): Hands down one of the best ceviches I've ever had. Churrasco al Gaucho with Mashed Potatoes (4.5/5): Tender, delicious steak and great mashed potatoes all around. Andina Empanadas (4.25/5): Super meaty, perfectly puffy, and nicely crisp. There was a slight hint of sweetness I wasn't expecting, but I still really enjoyed them. Jalea (4/5): A generous portion of fried seafood. Good overall Classic Paella (4/5): Solid paella, though nothing super standout. Calamari (3.75/5): Good flavor, but the pieces were a little too small for my liking.

Jalea: I don't usually like fried seafood, but this was really good! Besides the usual oysters, quahogs, shrimp, mussels, and squid, they also had South American specialties like paiche and pota. The batter was just the right consistency, not too thick, so it was crispy but not hard, and not too greasy, allowing you to taste the natural flavor of the seafood. The best dish was the fried shrimp; the thin, crispy shell concealed incredibly smooth and tender shrimp inside. The yucca fries were thickly cut, crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside, very satisfying. I recommend ordering an extra side of chili sauce; the waiter called it "extra spicy," but it's actually a salsa-like sweet and sour sauce--refreshing and mildly spicy, very refreshing. 903 Tasting: A platter of three signature dishes, perfect for first-timers. Ceviche Mixto had a milder sourness, making it easy to put in mouth, but it was a bit monotonous, and the scallops were a little mushy. Jaleita was basically a smaller version of Jalea. Arroz con Mariscos was similar to Spanish paella, but it was noticeably more tomato-based in sourness, with a hint of cheese. The rice wasn't too soggy either, making it the best of the three. Lomo Saltado: A classic Peruvian dish, and well-made. The beef is very flavorful, emphasizing the tomato's acidity rather than the soy sauce's saltiness, and the gamey taste was well removed. Although it was a bit overcooked , it was generally acceptable. By the way, their backyard was really beautiful!
