Our waitress left before us so they had a very hard time figuring out our checks in the end. Some people overpaid, some didn't pay at all lol. It was a cluster.

Every week our community has a food truck night, and this week happened to be Brazilicious. Since…read moreI'm a huge picanha fan, it was a no brainer that we'd have to give it a shot. We ordered the samba plate, which allows you to pick any 3 meats, so we selected picanha (cooked rare), shrimp, and sausage. Unfortunately, the steak ended up being closer to well done by the time we made it back to the house, but I think that's just the cost of taking steak to-go, and not necessarily the fault of the restaurant or chef since it's natural for it to continue cooking inside of the styrofoam box. Temperature aside, the flavor and quality of the meat was great, and you receive a very generous portion for the price. Along with the samba plate, we ordered steak fries and empanadas. Although the steak fries were pretty plain.. basically just steak plopped on top of fries, they were delicious, especially with the creamy herb sauce that is served with them. The empanadas were ginormous, and I like that the dough almost flaky rather than being super thick. We were very pleased with Brazilicious and will definitely hit them up again next time!

Got a Brazilian sausage wrap with fries. Not sure what makes it "Brazilian" sausage, if anything,…read morebut it's a good choice of sausage for a wrap I guess. It's thick and meaty and not too soft. The pita is of the very thick and soft variety, which is naturally my favorite. The vinaigrette and sour cream sauce mix also works pretty well. The fries were just okay. In hindsight, some of the other menu items were more interesting, but I just felt like getting a wrap. I'll have try other stuff if I see this truck again.

I'll definitely make this a regular lunch spot for my work weeks moving forward.

We had dinner at Rustic Bistro 21 on the Southside of Jacksonville, just south of Arlington…read more They're at 3980 Southside Blvd, just south of Beach Blvd on the west side of the road. We've been here once before. We really liked it but it's been a while since then. We started with the Pao de Queijo, which is the cheesy bread you usually get at a Brazilian steakhouse. We both love this kind of bread and theirs was fantastic. I ordered the Pinanha Rustica and I am so happy that's what I settled on. I ordered the beef medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The Chimichurri sauce was good but honestly, the beef didn't need the help. The thing that surprised me the most was how much I loved the Biro-Biro Rice as a side. It was a really unique combo of things I've never had together before. I would probably go back and order an entree of just that if they offer it! My wife ordered the Costela Ao Molha Madeira Com Risotto de Parmesao. She really liked how the risotto was super cheesy. She said it actually reminded her of the cheesy bread. The beef short rib was very tender and juicy. She said it was a simple dish that added up to something special. We rarely order dessert but decided to split the Petit Gateau de Doce de Leite. It was so rich, dense and delicious. The pecan ice cream with it was great as well. It was small but enough for us to split. I'm bummed I forgot to get our servers name because he was fantastic. We really need to not go so long between visits because this visit was just as good as the last one. This review originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

What really sets this place apart is the personal touch--the chef comes out to greet guests, makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal, and takes the time to get to know his customers. His kindness and passion for the food create a welcoming atmosphere that is hard to find. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and has great vibes, making it perfect for an intimate dining experience. If you're planning to come with a larger group, I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Families with young children will appreciate the thoughtful touches as well. They provide crayons and paper to keep little ones entertained while waiting for their meal. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a warm atmosphere--I highly recommend this place!

It's a grocery store/ buffet place with brazilian customers who speak Portuguese. I came towards the end of the buffet so this might not reflect the actual experience. The buffet has a nice variety of beef, pork shoulder, chicken legs but by the time I had tried it the meat was quite tough and dry. Probably due to the fact that it has been sitting out for awhile by the portable heater. Other sides the buffet had were beans, rice, plantains which were fine. For $16 a buffet I would check it out again to see if the food was any better at the start of the buffet. You can also shop for brazilian drinks and snacks after you finish eating. The mango and Guarana drinks are quite tasty.
