    Salad bar
    Maritza R.

    Came here on our trip to Cancun this pas weekend. Price is very reasonable. It's a Brazilian Churrascaria and it's worth every peso lol. The salad bar had tons of cold and hot options. You most likely will be seated right away. It wasn't very busy for a Friday night. We were a large party of 8 and didn't have to wait no more than a couple of minutes. They have several different cuts of meat. We had beef, chicken, pork. They also had pork ribs. If you don't see a meat that you would like just ask your server and they will make sure to bring it over to your table. We also ordered the specialty drink that the server recommended it. They make a show out of the drink by lighting it on fire. We also got a bottle of wine. They have tons of wine options. Everything was great! Enjoyed our time here we will be coming back.

    Food was great. They had so many different cuts of meats and even seafood to choose from. They also have a very wide variety of different appetizers, snacks, and desserts. So many options! Service was also great and staff were friendly. My personal favourite was the super tender octopus.

    Amazing food !!!

    We have been in Cancun about 4 days and we have not been impressed. So we went to see what is off the beaten path and this place struck a cord. We walked in around 4 pm the restaurant was 1/2 full and the noise was manageable . We ordered the full menu 385 pesos and it was fit for a feast My favorite is the lamb so salty and juicy ! The tomahawk steak was medium .... not well done almost rare ! This is a bright family clean fun restaurant and some one had a birthday and they put a giant hat on them ......delightful Our main server Roberto spoke excellent English and explained everything.

    Last meal stop before we came home. Nice lil buffet. Plenty of meat options, nice complimentary sides at the bar. Staff was friendly and the environment was clean and comfortable. Mango and coconut ice cream was home made and came frozen in their fruit container-pretty cool. Decently priced for one of the few buffets in the area. Wouldn't mind revisiting.

    30 different cuts of meat

    This was a recommendation from our Concierge, Sergio at the Westin. I am so glad we came here. This place was AMAZING!!! Let's start out with menu. It is a Brazilian Steakhouse. If you are not familiar with this type of cuisine, it is like a buffet and then add the fact that they come around to your table very frequently with 30 different cuts of meat (inc steak, chicken, pork, prawns, seafood). All of the meats were really good, but I especially liked the ribs (pork and beef), sausage (chicken and chorizo), and several cuts of the steak!!! There is a ton of variety in the buffet. Some of my favorites, the plantains, ceviche, fresh fruit, salad, and of course the chocolate chip muffins. Service was EXCELLENT, our waiter who did speak english, made sure we received everything we wanted. At one point we had not seen any sausage, he had it brought out within 5 minutes. The buffet includes all of the meats. With their after 7pm special it averaged out to about $20 per person, which is a great price, especially compared to the US. Beverages and their specialist desserts are a separate charge, but there were so many sweets in the buffet, we didn't need to order a separate dessert. Have children, they actually have a play area in their restaurant just for children, I would say it is geared for children 6 and under, but I am sure you can stick them in there at any age. Valet parking is FREE!!! I also read on-line that they will actually pick you up from your hotel too!!!! (We had a car, so we just drove) I have been to several Brazilian Steakhouses and hands down this is the best one I have ever been to!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    After reading reviews on here about this place, my husband and I were quite hesitant. In fact, we were planning to go to a different spot but decided to give this place a try. Good thing we did! The salad bar here has the biggest selection out of all the brazilian steakhouses we've ever been to. They have basically every type of salad you can imagine -- mixed greens, romaine, collard greens, macaroni, carpaccio, etc.. And of course they also have some mexican staples of rice, beans, chicken, beef, and cheeses as well. They also have someone going around to make fresh capirinha for 75 pesos as well. They come as two options - original lime or strawberries. They tasted good, but could be a little stronger on the alcohol. The meat selection was very vast as well. Our two top favorites were the picanha and the grilled octopus. This doesn't come lightly from me because I usually hate octopus and squid. But man, this octopus was different. It is amazingly tender and I bet you could cut it with a butter knife if they gave you one. I'm usually not a fan of octopus for its chewiness and strange texture, but this one melted in your mouth and not one bit chewy at all. A must try, even if you usually hate octopus, like me! The picanha was cooked to perfection. I'm not sure why all the reviews on here say the meats were overcooked because they weren't. And if they were, just tell the staff, they can understand English and was happy to make it to our liking. The flank steak was also really good as well, but doesn't beat the picanha's crispy charred fat in combo with the meat. So so good. They also had a dessert bar with fruits and baked desserts that were great as well. Overall, a great experience for us and I'm glad we came here instead of our other option (which would have costed us 3x as much). Dinner here for ladies is a bit cheaper than men BTW. And for reference, my husband and I had 3 drinks and 2 water bottles along with our meal and the bill came out to be 960 pesos, which is only $53!! What a steal.

We also ordered beer & tropical drinks (Paloma & Pina Colada's) which were very good. The restaurant decor & ambiance is what you would expect from a typical Brazilian Churrascaría very tasteful. It wasn't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. Service was above & beyond from all the staff. Super attentive to your every need! Make sure you ask for the specific type of meat that you like & they will bring it over. Never feel bad passing on meat that doesn't sound good or asking for more servings if you specifically prefer a certain cut. Would highly recommend giving it a try at least once. *They also have Valet parking included if you have a car.

The Window was what made us go in as we saw the meat slowly turning on the spit over flames. We went in to find out what the deal was and were greeted by several very friendly and attractive staff, who were more than happy to show us the place and tell us all about it. Here is how it works you pay 480 MX per person and you get access to a really spectacular buffet filled with amazing salads, imported cold cuts and cheese, shrimps, octopus and even snow crab, and mashed potatoes, all the salads (beautifully prepared (ceazar, wedge, green, etc) and a whole lot more. I have to pause here to say that just the buffet is a bargain at that price but wait, it gets better. As it is a Brazialian Churrascaria, you also get the meat servers, who will come to your table (very often (tip: make sure you turn your card to red or you will be asked every 2 minutes if you want more), with even more tasty treats to try and savor to your hearts content. The meats were very high quality and the choice is vast so your are sure to find one or more you love. The wine list is very good (a rare thing in many places in Mexico), and the friendly sommelier will guide you well. I have to say that the service is above and beyond any expectation you may have and they are sincerely looking to make this a memorable in a good way, and do just fine. As if that was not enough the decor is stunning, do yourselves a favor and try them out, you won't be sorry.

Lunch was OK. They have a meat grilling and fish grilling station. You can never go wrong with grilled to order steak. They have a small sushi cart but I stayed away from it. It didn't look too appetizing. Sometimes they had a ramen station as well. I preferred to eat lunch by the pool where they grill different things everyday. I had 2 dinners here. Once I came around 8:30pm and another time as soon as it opened. Wasn't too impressed the first night but the 2nd time they had all kinds of seafood. Seafood is my jam and so that was the best dinner during the entire stay. We enjoyed fresh oysters, tuna sashimi, different kinds of ceviche, crab legs...the works. I'm not sure if they rotate items on a daily basis but their seafood night is legit. Other family members loved the steak grilling station and the fish grilling station. Definitely recommend.
