Barbacoa is a very nice Brazilian steakhouse, and the ambiance and service were solid. It's the…read moreclassic churrascaria experience -- similar to Fogo de Chão -- with a full buffet, salad bar, and endless cuts of meat brought to the table. Here's the thing: I don't eat steak, pork, or most of the meats they specialize in, and I'm not a big fan of buffet or all‑you‑can‑eat restaurants in general. We came here because a coworker invited us, and she was being really kind, so I didn't think to check the price beforehand. I ended up only eating the salad, and with dessert my total came to about $66. For someone who doesn't eat the main attraction, that price felt a bit high -- honestly, I felt a little ripped off, LOL. Not the restaurant's fault at all; this is exactly how churrascarias work. It just wasn't the best match for my eating habits. Next time, I'll politely turn down the invite or suggest a different spot that fits my preferences better. But if you do enjoy steakhouse-style dining and want the full Brazilian churrasco experience, Barbacoa delivers exactly what it promises.

Wow is all I can say! In a city full of Churrascarias, this one is the absolute best! The food, the…read moreservice, the ambiance- all top shelf! I love several other Churrasacarias in São Paulo, but this one is a real standout. We had a group dinner with friends and coworkers, and we were led to a large table, and the staff fawned all over us. They were very accommodating and friendly. The food and wine were all top-notch, and they brought whatever cut of meat you asked for, instead of waiting for the "good stuff" like the Picanha. The salad bar was great as well, although I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any Feijoada, which is usually a staple at any Churrascaria in Brazil. Again, there are several good Churrascarias here, but if you want the best, you won't get any better than Barbacoa!

My exact thought was "wait...we have these in the US....I want something else, more local." HOWEVER, when I learned that THIS is the OG, the original Fogo, my thoughts changed. I have zero pics of my food....as soon as it hit my plate it was quickly devoured. The flavor was noticeably a grade above other Fogo's I've visited...no question at all. It was spectacular! Service was excellent, the place was clean and classy, great experience all around.

This particular night was my first night in town. I was jetlagged but hungry, so I came by myself to have an easy dinner and some good meat. I have been here several times before, but I always enjoy walking in and taking in the ambiance of the restaurant. Something about Fogo. I was seated immediately and ordered a Caipirinha and the buffet. I waited for my drink, which was excellent, and then headed to the buffet, starting with the salad bar. I headed back to my table, trying to keep my salad to a minuimum as to eat more steak! I turned my disc over to green, and the meat started arriving. I love Picanha, but I know they always hold back, so I have to ask to make sure they bring it. As I ate, the place filled up, and I noticed that every table was full. I ordered another Caipirinha and started to get full, as one does, eating this much meat! I finally turned my disc back to red and asked for the check. Pricey by Brazilian standards, but still cheap to an American. Yes, there are many Churrascarias here, but this one never fails to impress.

My waiter disappeared for a long time and I had nothing to drink until I was finally able to get another waiter's attention. The desserts were nice but the steaks were a huge disappointment.

The quintessentially Portugese name for this place could not be pronounced by American tourists so they changed it to "south's place" to attract more non-Brazillians (jk). The salad bar is endless and offers a nice collection of sliced tomatos and salmon sashimi. "Pekeno" is the word you need to use to ask for smaller cuts because they will try to stuff you within your first 5 minutes of sitting down. Take your time, keep your bites small and think of the children and you just might survive this experience.

Needless to say, meats are all very good and salad bar are all fresh ingredients with some salmon sashimi (honestly I would go to other place for sushi). I guess garcons are all very well trained and the chief guy (he wears jacket of different color) commands his team pretty well. They are all friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for tourists also. After your stomach is so full, you can walk around in Shopping Morumbi till you feel comfortable! Oh. don't forget to ask for Papaya cream for desert. This will help digesting tons of meat.

We dined on a holiday, so there were very few patrons. The buffet was good and most of the food was hot. You can also order grilled meats to your liking. The salad bar was quite varied and included a few soups. The main bar was extensive and I tried to sample a bit of everything. I loved the okra! Because of the holiday, they didn't have any cakes out, just a selection of puddings. Some were good, others were...interesting. There is also a kind of tequila with little plastic cups for shots. We had all had 2 each, a nice way to end the night. There was a cherry liqueur, but to me it was too much like cough syrup, so I didn't enjoy that. I had to caiprihanas, and while good, they were over $8 each and I wound up spending more on drinks than the meal! If I return, I'd not order the drinks. It's not the best buffet I've been to in Sao Paulo, but I was not disappointed in the food.
