After coming here for over eight years, this place continues to satisfy my Brazilian food cravings…read more The team at Pampa Gaúcho hasn't just maintained their standards; they've raised the bar in both service and variety. ​They have added grilled pineapple, which is perfect for cleansing the palate between meats, and a grilled white cheese with honey that is delicious. The polenta is no longer served at the table, but it isn't really missed. The salad bar is well-stocked with fresh greens and several savory sides that are always plentiful. ​The meats are served frequently and are always cooked to your preferred temperature upon request. For dessert, my favorites remain the passion fruit mousse and the brigadeiro cake--they even brought me the mousse with chocolate sauce when I asked! ​The atmosphere is private and cozy. It isn't ostentatious, yet it feels special enough for a celebration or a nice casual dinner. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We had a 7 pm reservation but upon arrival we were given a pager and we were not seated until 7:30 pm. 3. There is no ambiance. 4. The salad bar was less than small. 5. We asked for water so they brought us a bottle of water while we were at the salad bar and then charged us for the bottle. We would not have drank it had we known that there was a charge for it. 6. The restaurant was way overpriced. The price was comparable to restaurants on Las Olas and the quality of the food was not nearly the same.

Really doesn't look like anything from the outside, but the inside is very nicely decorated. The restaurant is a buffet style that charges you by the weight of each plate ($14.99/lb). Just come in and sit down and you'll be greeted by a server and you order your drinks, and just walk up to the buffet line. They have nice selections of salad and veggies. Starches, cooked dishes and fried banana all tasted awesome. There's also desserts too but we don't try any this time. I just wished that they have more of the meat selections in the future. When we went there they only have Picanha, beef ribs, Flank Steak, bacon wrapped chicken (kind of dry), sausage (tasted very delicious!!), lamb and that it. I wished they have other cuts too like filets and lab chops.

My experience eating at Restaurante Brasil was quite enjoyable…read more You're greeted by very friendly Brazilian waitstaff. Unfortunately, it took a member of our group to explain how the restaurant pricing worked -either $30 all-you-can-eat or the option of paying for your dish by the pound -while the waitstaff remained mum on the subject. The buffet choices were plentiful with ox tail stew being a favorite and many vegetables I experienced for the first time. Further down the "chow line" was the opportunity to choose from fresh-cut beef, lamb, and chicken. With this said, some buffet items at the dinner hour were already depleted with trays holding food that were lukewarm or cold. The salmon appeared either overcooked or perhaps cooked yesterday. In sum, I was fortunate to eat at Restaurante Brasil as it gave a good sampling of what I would wish to try again at better Brazilian restaurants in the area.

They do have an espresso machine with some type of Colombian blend, but I was in a traditional Brazilian bakery so wanted to try Brazilian coffee. The server pointed to the self-serve drip coffee machine, near the front door, which displayed a disclaimer that refills are NOT included with the low purchase of $1.79. The counter kiosk provided hot and cold milk dispensers with sugar. The coffee was roasty and alerted my brain instantly to wake up. The cup was brown with a black snap lid, imprinted with a non Casa Do Pao logo coffee theme which is much better than a bland white styro cup. On my next visit here, the beef empanadas will be on my radar. The gender assigned bathroom had a nice 3-tier wooden shelving unit with some greenery and extra toilet paper. The large dark flooring squares were augmented nicely by the matte black & white porcelain tile walls.

Lunch for the carved meats buffet which included ribeye, skirt, top sirloin, chicken rolled in bacon, sausage, and my favorite, an extremely juicy leg of lamb. There were countless delicious salad items to choose from and my favorite fried plantains. The greeter was extremely pleasant and turned down the speaker so my friend and I were able to talk. Our server was excellent at carving the meat and made the experience extremely enjoyable. The cloth napkins and glass stemware gave the restaurant a touch of elegance. The only disappointment was I had a Restaurant.com certificate for the Red Crab Seafood & Grill located at 3887 W. Hillsboro Blvd that they said was not good. I had purchased it in September 2024!!! When I went on the Restaurant.com website after I had left the restaurant, the certificate was still there. The certificate was good and should have been honored. The food and experience at Toreros Red Crab was good enough that I will return. I will just present the certificate ahead of time.

This was my second visit here. Like my first visit last year, I initially was the only customer…read morewhen I arrived around 12:45 pm. on the Monday after Easter. Also like my first visit, this place found a way to shoot itself in the foot. "Gisela" warmly greeted me. She sat me in the same first booth as last year. No sign of my waitress Jennifer from last year. The first thing I noticed different was a nice salad bar. Gisela asked if I ever had been there previously. I replied "yes." She then said I must know how they do things there. As it turned out, I did not. Later, she informed me that they now are under new management from my first time there. They no longer have a traditional menu. Unfortunately, I had read neither their website nor the recent reviews since last year to know of the changes and stupidity. So now it's a Brazilian steakhouse. Since I never had experienced a Brazilian steakhouse style of service, I had difficulty understanding Gisela trying to explain to me how it worked. I requested more time to analyze the menu. I also should add that the ambiance is pleasant but a little dark as is the menu in certain places, making it difficult for me to read. I think I had left my reading glasses in the car. So Gisela waited on a couple seated behind me which had arrived after me. They ordered the Brazilian meat all-you-can-eat and helped themselves to the salad bar. I saw no "salad bar only" option on the menu. Gisela said I could order only salad bar. However, I had a feeling I would be charged the same as the combo with the meat service. I decided just to go along with the program by ordering the same thing as the couple behind me for $24.99. She brought me a glass of water. I have zero complaints about the food. The salad bar included meatballs and noodles and enough variety to order just salad bar if they encouraged it. I wouldn't see Gisela much more until time to pay. Within minutes of returning from the salad bar, a guy emerged from the kitchen with his first of many skewers. I accepted a piece of chicken with bacon as did the couple behind me. So my best analogy is a Chinese dim sum place. They come around every couple minutes to offer you another item. You pay à la carte for dim sum as the waitress checks off any item you accept. However, Toreros is all you can eat for one price, not à la carte. The man speedily emerged every two minutes with another type of meat. It was fast service considering I was one of only three customers. I felt like I was eating fast to race him so I could have room on my plate before his next return! I prefer to take my time and not be rushed. I didn't think to ask for an extra plate. By the time he emerged at the end with a rack of lamb, I felt I should pass as I was getting full. I returned to the salad bar for some tasty asparagus, watermelon, and other stuff. Some reviews allege their food was not fresh. My food tasted fresh. I did wonder whether the meats had been prepared a while ago since the guy began serving me quickly after my first trip to the salad bar. They must cook it ahead of time on the assumption that they will have customers eventually. The guy put the traffic light sort of thing on the table. He tried to explain what each light means regarding service requests. I missed the part about which light meant "check please." So I found Gisela bored at her podium. She asked me cash or card? I had cash on me. I did not know the price would be cheaper paying by cash. I replied, "card." She brought me her portable machine. The usual screen popped up with the tip percentages. I was a little puzzled when she said that was the screen to tip if I wanted. Like, why wouldn't I tip? I assumed she just was being humble and courteous. So I tipped 18%. She hadn't done much but the place had few customers, she seemed nice enough to, so give her some money. The total popped up at $40 plus change. Initially, I declined her offer of the receipt. I returned to my car. I sat in my car in the parking lot. I tried to calculate in my head how the hell my tab came to $40 for a $24.99 buffet, maybe a $4 tip, and $2 tax? Reluctantly, I walked back in and asked for a receipt. Gisela retrieved her machine and printed it out for me. I returned to the parking lot. Only then did I read and learn what many reviews have mentioned. They charged an extra $1.18 for paying by card. They added a whopping $5.03 service charge of 18% for my party of one! All that without really telling me before I thought I was being generous by tipping the girl who brought me a glass of water $5.38.

With a Brazilian spouse as a connoisseur, the authenticity of the food is guaranteed; it caters for a niche but very discerning person.

My experience started with a fresh baked corn muffin, testifying to the restaurant's commitment to freshness and flavor. The restaurant is small but there were a few people waiting in line to order.

It makes for worthwhile dining experience... if you're wanting to try something new, this could be a place to achieve that; we waited a good 10 to 12 minutes before we could order not due to slow service, but because there were many people ordering, which is always a good sign. I would be inclined to go back and try something different on the menu.
