The "salad" bar has all sorts of options, from salad, vegetables, fruits, and many things I forget. I'd say at least two dozen different offerings there, and everything was very tasty. Even the basic veggies were very fresh and it was all quite appetizing. The rodizio here was great with many different meat options brought around. Different style steaks, roast beef, pork, sausages, chicken, and lamb. All very juicy and seasoned nicely. And then the pineapple was also perfect, definitely save some room for that!

The Picanha is my favorite along with the garlic steak. They cook it to your preferred perfection. I used to go Friday's for lunch with my husband but my schedule changed and we now go about once a month for Friday dinner. All the servers there are great. The gentleman at the counter where you order your meat (when you pay per pound) provide great service. This place is an all you can meat place. Same concept as Fogo de Chao but with better sides. They recently made some upgrades and the place looks really nice.

Once they are out of a dish, it's over, so get there early or call and ask for it to be put to the side. They now have more English speaking employees, so good for non Spanish speaking customers.

Such a nice take on Puerto Rican cuisine and I'm left wanting to try even more dishes!

Came here for dinner on a Thursday evening. I didn't realize until after booking that there would…read morebe live music. The idea of it sounds nice but in reality, the music was too loud which made it difficult to chat and communicate with the server. The problem is the small space with a whole band. The music wasn't disruptive but just loud. I think it's nice to listen to if I wasn't trying to chat. There's happy hour menu 5-7PM with items from three large categories: ceviche, skewers, and fried starch. They don't post their HH menu online. We ended up ordering: caderas skewer, bacalaitos, short rib carne guisada, seafood asopao, vaca frita The server was nice about pointing out how our order of one regular appetizer with an entrée is already more expensive than going with their prix fixe with comes with an extra dessert. She allowed us to only have one prix fixe for the table, and she applied our most expensive entrée to it. Appreciate that! Skewer - I thought we ordered steak but it came out to chicken. Slightly frustrated about the language barrier. I legit tried to google and translate to find out what's what, and the quick search turned out wrong. bacalaitos - This was solid. The crab dip wasn't too creamy and filling. The chip was a bit oily but it was sturdy in holding up the dip. Kinda cool how the fish is in the chip. Short rib - It was tender. The red wine sauce was earthy. I think they gave too much sauce and it's a little too thin for what it is. A piece of food dropped from my fork and it created a big splash on my white shirt....I know it's my fault but I do think they can provide less sauce especially when there isn't bread or starch to soak it up. The variety of potatoes was pleasant. There were purple and yellow ones which all had slightly different tastes. Since we got the prix fixe we ordered the flan dessert. The server gave us complimentary buñuelos because we were celebrating a birthday. They only had three desserts on the menu, and my group struggled to decide which one to pick. Two of them didn't like coconut, so it was easy to eliminate one of them. I'm glad the complimentary dessert wasn't that one. The flan was the denser side with obvious air bubbles inside which indicates too high temperature and overcooking. The pickled papaya wasn't additive in terms of tartness or sweetness. The buñuelos came out warm. It was kind of bland without the sauce, but the sauce itself wasn't unique either. Overall my friends like the food. I think it's solid but could use some fine tuning. I was more bothered by the environment. I'm open to trying this place again but I might prefer to try new restaurants when I visit Philly next time. Also I think they're a bit pricier amongst nearby options. They have a 3% credit card surcharge which is added to the food subtotal, and tax is applied on top of the surcharge as well.

They serve great late night after club Dominican food like chimichurris (Dominican hamburgers), pica pollo (Dominican style fries chicken), Yaroas (French fries with cheese and other toppings), frituras like longaniza and masa de credo frito, tostones, fries and more. I order a $10 order of chicken and longaniza with fries and it was a large portion for the size. It tasted good and traditional. It's a good spot to visit if you have the munchies after a night of clubbing at Tierra.
