Always top notch everything - food, service, and atmosphere. The best of the 3 Brazilian churasco restaurants in Jacksonville. Most folks keep it classy casual, but there are some folks coming in with workout clothes. The food is the most delicious. There is something for everyone's diet preferences. The owner regularly visits tables and serves things to your table at times. He genuinely wants your experience to be the best they can provide. Oh, and the crème bruleé is to die for. My favorite restaurant in Jacksonville, hands down.

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!

I ordered the short rib, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and served over a rich parmesan risotto that struck the right balance of creamy and savory. The red wine demi-glace brought everything together with a deep, refined flavor that you'd expect from a much more upscale spot. The crispy pork belly, though, completely stole the show. Easily the best I've ever had--perfectly crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. I travel frequently and dine out often, so it takes a lot to impress me--but this place did exactly that. The atmosphere was relaxed and authentic, and despite the "hole-in-the-wall" feel, every dish was executed at a high level. I was there with coworkers, and every single one of us walked away impressed. This is the kind of spot you almost want to keep to yourself--but it's too good not to share.

We decided to try this restaurant for my husband's birthday. It's such a pleasant and elegant…read morerestaurant with cute decor! Kind of like a first date atmosphere. The restaurant was super clean and our waiter was nice and attentive. We ordered the following: Appetizer - Torresmo (Crispy pork belly with smoked guava sauce and lime) - 7/10 - The pork belly was salty, crispy, and had lots of flavor but it was a tad dry. The star was the guava sauce! It was sweet, smokey and paired so well with the pork belly. There was not enough lime and the pieces we had were dry and not juicy. We could barely get juice out of them. Regardless, the appetizer was good. A bit heavy though on the stomach. Entrees: Costela ao Molho Madeira com Risotto de Parmesão (braised beef short rib with madeira sauce over parmesan risotto) - 8/10 - The short rib was super tender and fell off the bone! It was pretty hefty piece too and plenty of meat for the dish. The flavors were good but I didn't really like the taste of Madeira wine (personal preference). The parmesan risotto was really delicious, creamy, and had a strong cheesy taste! Reminded me of elevated mac and cheese and it went so well with the braised short rib. Picanha Rustica (steak served with fried rice with bacon, eggs, onion, and potato stick, chimichurri sauce, and fried yuca - 8.7/10 - my husband had this and he enjoyed it very much. I had a bite of his steak and it was cooked perfectly, medium rare. The fried yuca was hot, crispy, light, and airy. The chimichurri sauce was so fresh and went well with the well seasoned steak. I tried the fried rice and it was delightful as well. We would definitely get this dish again. Overall, it was a pleasant evening and the food was delicious. A bit pricey but the quality was great. I personally won't get the braised short ribs again because it was a bit wine flavored heavy but if you're into wine sauces, you would absolutely love it! Service was good and we were taken care of. Can't wait to try other things on the menu!

The attention we received was impeccable, with the staff constantly attentive to every detail and ensuring that we lacked absolutely nothing. I would like to give a special shout-out to two individuals who made our visit unforgettable: Luara and Andrew. Their level of professionalism, kindness, and dedication was truly impressive. Luara was incredibly attentive, always wearing a genuine smile and ensuring that everything at our table was perfect. Andrew, for his part, complemented the experience with equally warm and efficient service, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the menu and a constant willingness to assist. Together, they managed to create a personalized experience, making us feel like more than just customers--we felt like special guests. That kind of service is hard to come by, and it truly makes all the difference. The only point for improvement was that the drinks took a little longer than usual to arrive. Aside from that, everything was perfect. Definitely recommended!

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.
