Too long waiting; I sat for a long time until get my orders; no water served and I needed to ask for it about three times. No utensils served until asked for. I ordered a plate of Cod but wasn't amazed by it. A bit dry and not much flavor. The juices are great (I have the "cajá " and it was super delicious). The plate of picanha and creamy cod were really good - definitely worth it. The place is ok, clean and no fancy. Very casual and cozy with live music on some Fridays. Price for the plates were good, but not for a one small single rissole that cost $3.00

Alert!: They have recently renamed to 'Show De Carnes'…read more The ambiance is nice and chill. The staff was amazingly attentive, ready to get you meat, drinks, what ever you needed!

We recently visited Show De Carnes Brazilian Steakhouse in San Jose, which has taken over the…read moreformer Taurinus location, and it was an incredible experience. When we first went, the restaurant was running special promotions--$49.99 per person for the dinner buffet and a Wagyu steak for two (with the full all-you-can-eat buffet included) for $155. We tried both during two separate visits, and the food was so delicious we couldn't resist coming back the very next weekend. (According to the restaurant, these promotions have since ended, but the quality of the food makes it worth visiting regardless.) The service was equally impressive. Felipe, the manager/host, was welcoming, patient, and very thorough in explaining the menu. Our server, Lays, was outstanding as well--she made our anniversary dinner feel so special and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Food-wise, the ribeye, sirloin, filet mignon, and garlic shrimp were my favorites--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The grilled pineapple and fried bananas added the perfect sweet touch. On our second visit, we ordered the Wagyu steak, and it was phenomenal: tender, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Even as I write this, I find myself craving it all over again. I highly recommend Show De Carnes under its new ownership--it's one of the best dining experiences we've had in San Jose!

Then I waited and saw some workers inside and tried again around 11:45. I needed toddy to make brigadeiro. And so glad that they have it here! They also have some other Brazilian goodies that are hard to find at other stores. The employees were very kind. I was first greeted by a woman, and then a man came out and helped me. He was very welcoming and talked me into getting a pastry. I got the bauru de Frango and it was very good. Flavorful. Similar to the filling of a coxinha but with a pastry exterior. I already had breakfast, but I will definitely be back to try their lunch specials!!!

Who knew there was a little taste of Brazil in a random Sunnyvale plaza? They serve hot lunch and…read morehave a small market of Brazilian goods. Chef Dina was so cool and nice. She gave us free chocolates! White or dark. Complimentary hot Brazilian coffee too! Louis is normally there managing the front. They have such nice staff here! My favorite item is the Pão de Queijo-- Brazilian cheese bread 5 for $4 and they can warm it up. If you go early enough, they'll have fresh batches straight from the oven. They have lunch specials per day. So if you miss a specific item on say Tuesday, they'll have it again the following Tuesday. Entrees I've had: Chicken Stroganoff over rice: very comforting savory sauce enrobing chicken chunks, comes with a small side of leafy greens. Steak Picanha with rice, cooked well done, also comes with greens Feijoada: black beans, short rib, pork, sausage, white rice, greens, mashed yucca topped with Brazilian toasted yucca flour, orange slice. *ask for a stamp card when buying lunch Dessert: Carrot cake with chocolate cream OMG it's more like a ganache with a dash of chocolate sprinkles. The fruit mousses are very sweet though since they sweeten it with condensed milk. I tried the guava once. Mango juice was like elevated sunny delight. They sell lots of frozen items like the cheese bread to enjoy at home. Check it out!

The lamination and butter was spot on. The filling was just a touch too sweet for us. Had the original and the apple cinnamon. Didn't except the apple to be a fave, but it was. Think of an elevated apple pie or even an elevated McDonald's apple pie. Don't skip out, try it ! Also had the coconut brioche, very light but not much coconut flavor. I would come again if in the mood !

I wanted to like this place, but I just don't see the hype…read more The pastries were stale and lacked flavor. Even the malasadas were underwhelming and if you think they are similar to Leonard's, then this does not come close. For the Portuguese tarts, they were served a bit cold. I'd recommend reheating them. The crust was so oily it seeped through the napkin and the filling was overly sweet. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. Overall, the texture and flavor didn't meet expectations. Service was decent but the staff were not friendly. This was a bit of a letdown. If you can, I'd suggest driving or taking the train to SF for this better spot, Holy Nata. It was so much better.

You Guava be Kidding Me…read more A bakery and juicery that has been serving up delicious Colombian specialties since 1999 in Colombia, before emigrating to the US and opening up shop here in Cambrian Park in 2014. Milohas (mil hojas) means a thousand layers in Spanish, and one taste of Milohas' pastries will make you understand why they picked that moniker. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Friendly service * Covered outdoor dining * The crust of the empanadas was buttery, flaky, and delicious. All the fillings were good, but you have to try the Hawaiian filling! It was truly fantastic and had us wishing that's all we'd ordered. * Guava Finger has the same perfect crust and tasty guava jam--I could eat a dozen of these and come back for more. *oink oink* * Carissa really enjoyed their lentil soup. I didn't try it, so I can't comment. The Meh: * I kind of prefer the chunks of meat in Peruvian empanadas to the ground meat in Colombian ones, but that's just a personal preference. It was still delicious, so at the end of the day, it's all academic. The Ugly: * No indoor dining, and outdoor dining is limited to only a handful of seats. Conclusion: We've been on the hunt for the best empanadas in the South Bay, and we finally found them.

Finally tried Milohas as they've been on my list for a while and have a lot of great reviews. Oh…read moreman, was I disappointed. Ordered two empanadas: Spinach & Cheese and a Chicken & Potato. I wanted to get some desert items but they seemed to have very few things to choose from. I would have asked questions but inside the store was strangely loud and the woman who helped me was a low talker so I couldn't understand anything she was saying to me as it was. The empanadas are pretty large, as are the prices. $17 for the two. At this price point I was glad I decided not to buy more. Each comes with a tiny side of aji green sauce. They could have been more generous here. I found the spinach to be very salty and more breading than filling. The chicken one was a letdown. Chicken was lacking any flavor. For both the pastry was dry. Was only able to eat half of each and threw the rest away. Not really the kind of place you dine in for. You order at the counter and there is limited seating inside (in a way that makes you not want to dine in), and a few seats outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. This visit and subsequent review makes me feel sad. I want to support these unique, independent eateries but they make it difficult when the quality doesn't meet the high cost. Improvements would be to reevaluate their recipes, make the pastries less dry and dense, and maybe don't be so skimpy on the fillings.

The quality of the meat is honestly on another level -- super tender, rich, and full of flavor. You can really tell they focus on premium cuts and attention to detail. Service was also top-notch. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and made great recommendations without being pushy. It's definitely on the pricier side, but for the overall experience -- food, ambiance, and service -- it feels worth it.

Paired with the horse radish and the au jus, it was the perfect combination for bringing out the maximum flavors of the meat. Caesar salad- Can never miss! Perfectly savory and really opens up your appetite when you're hungry for what's to come. Popcorn crab- I liked this dish the most. The crab was perfectly fried and was accompanied with an extremely creamy aioli that I can still taste. The batter was nice and light and the chunks of crab were huge and sweet. You don't even need a sauce you can just pop it in your mouth on its own and it'll still be delicious!

Definitely make a reservation though, since the wait can be a little long!
