A grill octopus options
Reinaldo B.

Limited options at the buffet or lack of ( several of the container were empty) options were not fresh we arrived around 8pm prime diner time only 3 tables were occupied at arrival time us being the third The meat selection is limited and lower grade cuts Drinks were good Service ok I would not recommend, I rather stick to Texas Brazil or Fogo de chao if you want a churrasquearía experience There is a sub charge if you don't pay with cash , a smaller restaurant maybe can get away with this type of practice but an establishment where you are spending upwards of 300 per visit should not pass this expense to their costumers if you can't afford the processing fee of using credit cards you should not use them and make it an only cash establishment.

Came here for the $26 lunch service on a Friday. I've never been to Texas de Brazil so I don't have a point of reference but I think this was a decent all you can eat for the price. I skipped most of the buffet options, the salad did not look super appetizing. I will say the chicken soup and rice and black beans were amazing and the perfect sides for my meat. The buffet did not feel the most sanitary but I feel that way about most buffets. The meat service was great! Everything looked warm and fresh and the servers were constantly circling back with new options, more than they needed to. I was a big fan of anything beef, but did not enjoy the pork and sausage options. Our waitress however was not very attentive and I was without water for a while and struggled to ask for the check. The inside is very aesthetic, great for pictures and I'm sure the events there are fun. Would recommend for groups, especially during lunch when it is less busy and there is no wait for the buffet or meat service.

Ambiance

This place in Hialeah had very good food for the price. The meats were delicious and tender. The ambience was very nice and cozy. Staff were extremely friendly there was an amazing sauce to top our meats. The salad was ok with fresh veggies. The only drawback was only one person spoke English luckily my son interrupted. I definitely would be back because it's good and a great value lunch was $25.99. All you can eat.

I'd recommend visiting this place if you've never been to a Texas de Brazil type of restaurant. I say this because if you have been to a Brazilian steakhouse before coming here, you will be disappointed. To me, this is a cheap (not dollar amount) version of Texas de Brazil. Pros: The space is decent and decorated nice and the food kept coming with decent variety of meats. Friendly service. Music if it's your birthday. Cons: Wasn't asked how we like our meat cooked so we were unsure of what we were getting each time they came around. The salad bar was tight and unorganized. A little chaotic. The restaurant is a much more relaxed and loud version of the nicer Brazilian steakhouses. Decent time so check them out.

the guy in the picture,  his name is Ernesto,  he won't look at us or offer food.. jumping to the table behind us.. this is insane!!!

They do not offer all the meat, items they have, u have ask what kinda meat u want. service, is worst I have seem. The servant offer the food to the people infront of us, and behind of us, never even look at our table. Poor service, will never go back that place. Ernesto is the servant that won't serve our table.

Food: Delicious meats cooked to your liking! The staff walk around the entire establishment serving you the meats. This is very similar to Texas and Brazil with the RED & GREEN table coin you flip that is red for stop and green bring on the meats! Haha The quality was certainly better than the knife and Texas and Brazil! The red Sangria was fresh and made with a good quality wine. The salad bar/ hot bar has all your Cuban favorites like rice and beans, chickpeas, salads, bread, chicken, and more! *Drinks & Dessert are not included on price seen below* Lunch prices (11am-4pm) M-F: $25.99 Dinner prices (4pm- 10pm) M-Sun: $31.19 Brunch prices (11am-5pm) Sat & Sun: $31.19 Service: Was quick and always attentive of our needs. Ambiance: Feels like you're in the Amazon rainforest with the modern decor. Very cool vibes (: Highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit!

Crema Catalana
Indiana L.

This all-you-can-eat steakhouse is affordable and delicious. The couscous salad from the salad bar was tasty, and they even had octopus as one of the options. The drinks are delightful as well; I tried the passion fruit and mango caipirinha, and they were fantastic. As for dessert, the crema catalana is the one to choose. The prices are extremely fair. I would definitely visit again.

Octopus

The only place I've ever seen with all you can eat grilled octopus! Good Churrascaria! Reasonable price $50 including tip. My only complaint was the bacon wrapped filet bites I was served, we're all too well done. Next time I'll specify medium rare. I'm certain they will deliver. Lots of customers celebrating birthdays here. I'd recommend Rio Grande and it's worth the drive.

Sangría
Idsia R.

I must say my first time here and it was amazing from service to good & drinks . Let's start it is a $25.99 buffet with a 6 cuts of meats, grilled cheese with honey, full salad bar including rice, beans, soup, Potajes and mashed potatoes, specialty drinks and full bars as well as regular sodas. I will begging with the salad bar nothing else needed to accompany the 6 cuts of beef and which also includes lamb, chorizo and chicken wrapped in bacon all meats very well seasoned. Drinks I had a sangria the best one yet. Service was exceptional my server Carlos was besides very handsome (LOL) attentive , sweet and lifted my spirit making my dinner experience so pleasant I was there on a pre birthday for me and he made sure I enjoyed my dinner. Everyone else from the ones to brought the meats to the ladies with big smiles made the air feel so jolly. The restaurant has a lovey vibe and also has live music, on certain days and hours. The only negative thing I would say is the tip when they first bring you the check it says 18% tip included and when you give method of payment they bring the check with the previous amount that stated before on tip now states service charge and gives you the amounts for tip to be added. Did not question it because Carlos was amazing. Other than that all was wonderful.

FOOD WAS AMAZING! Food came very fast to the table and service was just 11/10. I recommend coming with an empty stomach.

Recently went to "El Novillo" restaurant for a 25 year anniversary celebration…read more It was a group of about 25 of us and it was spacious in the seating and table arrangement for all of us to feel comfortable and not cramped up together. It was on a Friday night and they had live music playing with was nice for the occasion. With our pre-selected menu, we ordered a glass of Cabernet, their house salad (very vinegary!!! A tad bit too much in my personal opinion), and for entree the 8 oz baby tenderloin churrasco. (Shout out to one of our waiters! I didn't catch her name but she was honest with the menu recommendations and advised us to order the baby tenderloin churrasco which was a hit!). The mariquitas kept on coming around the table and we were stuffed. Another perk was how fast the service was. Even with our large group, we barely waited in between courses. If you want good Hispanic food on the fly, this is your place.

Located in the heart of Miami Lakes - and near the cow fields - this El Novillo location was where…read moreI enjoyed my employer's Christmas lunch yesterday. Though they have a preset menu for corporate type events, our boss was generous enough to let us select off the open menu. The decor is made to look like the inside of a hacienda with the tile roofs and stucco columns (yes you tell I'm a structural engineer :) The music was mostly 80s ballads, and service was very attentive. They even brought one of the desserts with a candle for a colleague's birthday, and took our group's photo. We started with a couple of baskets of buttered herbed Cuban bread and dipping chimichurri, as well as an appetizer sampler including refried beans, fried cheese and tequenos. The fried cheese was served on a little piece of pita bread and is a must try. I also enjoyed the refried bean soup, especially when dipped with plantain chips. As far as my main course, everyone knows how much I love cows! I enjoyed a sizable piece of churrasco, juicy even at medium well, sweet plantains and moros (here they serve it with red beans instead of black beans) and crispy house-made plantain chips. The Tres leches was also very fluffy, with a lot of cream and perfect enough to send me to a nice little after lunch nap. I also washed it down with Cortadito.
