In a word - finally, some good açai in Berlin. A bit…read moreexpensive, but it's a treat. Longer version (for the brave) - after getting a tip about this place from our lovely CM Anne, I had to try out this place, I've tried twice and it was closed or closing, but this time I made it! Got here with a friend whose a big açai fan, almost as much as I am, and I still have the taste of the bowls of Brazil on my tongue. So this place has the Brazilian vibes with a Berliner style. Vintage furniture and lack of connection between the items - but my biggest problem is that there's no atmosphere in this place. Also, the service was weird- it felt like they were open, but weren't too eager on having costumers. And now for the main issue- Açai, a proper one, served in a bowl, with some bananas on top. The only thing that was missing for me is the granola on top like they serve back in Brazil. The texture was thick, and very purple- definitely a treat! Once we were done we went paying - 5.60 for a bowl, that's quite a lot. If you put the service and the price aside this place would get 5 stars for sure. But you should try it, at least once :)

Our server didn't stop by to check on our water to refill. I definitely appreciate Fogo de Chao back home in Chicago. Even though it maybe pricey, the quality of service and food is top notch. Villa Rodizio may meet the standards of the locals but having eaten other places similar to this I don't recommend to those visiting Berlin. This restaurant caters to more of the locals but having pallet. The server that brought our meat was also cleaning our table and others. He was all smiles the entire time. He is busting his butt off and doing well at his job with the best attitude you can ask for.

I was expecting delicious, well seasoned, tender cuts of meat but nope; I got none of that. I was expecting big things when they said they would be offering 10 cuts of meat. Sadly these were the cuts of meat that were served (many repeats and counted as a separate cut of meat): ham, dry roast beef, chicken drumstick, chicken breast, chicken heart, pork ribs, lamb, dry sausage, plain roast pork, and some other not so great cut One thing that bothered me the most was that we were constantly served the very edge of the meats which basically were super dry and over seasoned. I was trying to ask for more of the inner part of the meat but the server was saying how he wouldn't be able to cut it due to how it was positioned. Also there was no option of choosing how I wanted my beef (like medium-rare), it was whatever he felt like cutting which was most of the time well done and super dry. Thank goodness I have had great tasting Brazilian steakhouse buffets before to know what kind of expectations I should have and this place was so far off that I would not recommend anyone coming here. It was pretty bad. Just when you think no one could screw up a Caesar salad, this places messed it up real bad. This place made me hate Caesar salad and I love Caesar salad. In their steam tray aisle and cold bar which was included as part of the buffet they served one black soup which was nasty. For 24 Euros, I much rather have ate elsewhere. It was the biggest disappointment in terms of food quality I had on my trip. No idea why one would waste money here.

This wasn't my usual Maredo (typically hit the spot in Ku'damm), but it's a chain so the food is…read morepretty much exactly the same. I always had veggie fajitas, since I was traveling with a vegetarian companion, and pina coladas, since we liked to get our drink on. I'm pretty sure it was at this location where I had my first Maredo experience, which involved sangria that was definitely spiked with something. I ended up on a park bench next to a dog I called "Hundie" after wandering around drunk at 3 in the afternoon. That's not really relevant, though, and what is is that this is your standard chain Mexican food, with decent ingredients and an easy-to-understand menu (fajitas, steak, and the like). Nice outdoor seating available at this location. And if you try the sangria, consider yourself warned!

This is the dish for those who want to meet a month's worth of recommend daily allowance for sodium in one sitting. The chicken I could use to make icy roads safer in winter. The beans were less salty. But still a sodium lover's dream. Even the rice succumbed to the salty siren song. No flavor could fight it's way to the taste buds through that assalt (had to do that, sorry). Thank God for the salad. That was kind of a safe space for healthy eating. The salt thing can be fixed easily. That was really the only problem. Service was great and the staff are super nice--salt of the Earth kind of folks (had to do that, too). The atmosphere is also superb in more ways than one; No smoking inside. Cozy place with great live music which is too loud. The place is so small, you have to go outside to change your mind. Why then, do you need to amplify anything and why so loud? Go for drinks, bring earplugs and have a very nice time surrounded by very nice staff.

Pro: Das Essen scheint .. bodenständig authentisch .. aber…read morenicht "raffiniert" oder höhere Küche zu sein. Die Portionen waren SEHR großzügig (ich war im Prinzip nach dem Vorspeisensalat bereits satt) und die Getränke genretypisch. (Cocktails waren schlicht aber gut) Contra: Es war spürbar kühl im Restaurant (wir waren im Winter da) und die Speisen waren eher auf der lauwaremen Seite, als auf der heißen Seite - bzw. kühlten sehr schnell (zu schnell) aus, da die Teller nicht vorgewärmt waren. Das Angebot für Vegetarier war sehr eingeschränkt und die Ausführung der Speisen (die wir hatten) waren eher schlicht. Mein Fazit: Wer keine raffinierte Küche erwartet und damit zufrieden ist eine Stufe über "Fastfood" zu essen ist hier mit akzeptabel gutem Comfortfood recht sicher. Persönlich würde ich es vorziehen, wenn die Portionen kleiner wären, dafür aber ausgefeilter. Qualitativ befindet sich das Paracas im Mittelfeld meiner Erwartungen. Für den großen Hunger, ohne besondere Ansprüche empfehlenswert .. ansonsten eher zu vermeiden.

The restaurant is very warm & inviting. Yellow & orange hues on the walls, beautiful large Latin American oil painting & also a nice bar inside. When we arrived, it was pretty empty (weekday, before happy hour :-)). My son ordered chicken wings, which came with fries & a salad. I got the Brazilian coconut-fish soup. The food arrived relatively quickly, tasted fresh & the waiter was super attentive & kind. The portions were decent & everything tasted great. I also had a vodka lemon with my meal- yum. The prices are reasonable for the quality & the menu looks amazing. I'd def. come back with a bigger appetite next time, to order a "real" Latin American main course & enjoy the happy hour.
