    X Galinha
    Chris K.

    We were looking for breakfast after we dropped our dogs off for their grooming appointment and Santana's was recommended. It was a short walk and there was lots of parking spots available around the cafe. I had the X Galinha sandwich which was very enjoyable, the soft bread was a nice contrast to the crispy chicken and vegetables.

    I've been here a few times and I love this place! I gave it a 5 star because of how much food they give and its quality/ authenticity according to my Brazilian boyfriend. I always get the pão de queijo for an appetizer and the açai bowl was SO good (not too sweet). The plate is so good but I decided to get the omelette and steak this time, which was a lot of food/was worth it. The people there are always busy but super friendly especially to a non-Brazilian like me! There's a bunch of tables and it feels so local/popular within the Brazilian community so you know it's good. I would recommend this place especially for bread!

    Yeahhhh that is oil, a lot of!

    I normally do not do bad reviews, but this one I need! Order an pickup from this place, stop by pick up my order and my fettuccine alfredo was oil Alfredo, I try to remove most of it and still a lot on the plate! Also, the container, come on! Make it better! Little of oil is ok, but the whole can is to much!

    Great food. A lot of variety and they are open pretty late, 6am to 11pm. They serve all meals of the day.

    That's not what you're supposed to do with Brazilian cheese bread bro

    So if you wear a pink bandana And your penis is shaped like a spanner Then get your ass to Boston Cause it's weirder than Austin And it has the yum drinks at Santana! The Acai here is very Smooth, as served by the waitress (Maria Maria), who is a bit of a Black Magic Woman, especially when it's Stormy. But she often drops orders, she's a little Carlos and clumsy. This awesome Cafe makes Brazilian juices and all kinds of delicious delights. I wasn't expecting it to be so completely friendly and awesome. They also have the cheese bread - Pao de queijo - and they make it hot and warm and fresh and it could not be any more delicious. Now bear in mind there's tons of Brazilian stuff around here. Yet this is - unequivocally - one of my favorite Brazilian places in a very Brazilian area.

    Worst service ever! I ordered a bday cake with white chocolate shavings and bonbon pieces on the top. One white layer with bonbon and the other one was milk chocolate layer with dark bonbon pieces as well. Guess what? It came totally different! But the worst is about to come, when I called the bakery to report it and see what's going on about it they talked with the MANAGER and said " I'm sorry, you've cut the cake already and the only thing we can do is put a 10$ dollars credit under your name so you gonna be able to spent it here!!! Bullsh** place, must be a joke! Bday cakes involve feelings, people and celebration!

    I come here at least one a month and I love all the food here. Downside is that it's literally always packed. Which is expected when the food is amazing. They have a glass display of tons of pastries. I'm not familiar with Brazilian pastries so I wish that they had signs labeling what they are. It's a very casual cafe. You wait in line and order up at the counter and then you seat yourself. When your food is ready, someone will come out and call out your name. You have to listen extra carefully because the workers are all Brazilian and they will most likely butcher your name. I get their plate specials every time I come. Love their steak and chicken plate specials. The meats are seasoned really well and the plates come with a LOT of food. Meat, rice, beans, plantains, and Eggs or salad. I'm obsessed with their rice. I'm pretty sure all they do is just salt it but I'm obsessed. I could literally just eat a bowl of their rice and be happy. Their acai bowls aren't the best but they're still pretty darn good. You can pick up to 4 toppings. Any additional toppings are an extra $1

    Amazing! We were lost looking for a place to eat and decided to stop! Let me tell you!!!! It's amazing! Employees are just as amazing!

    Cant complain. The food is always amazing.

    The food is great it has extremely good flavors. I love the avocado and banana smoothies. I live an hour away but it's worth the trip.

    The only negative thing about this fantastic buffet was their subjective pricing. As other…read morereviewers mentioned they sometimes change you more per pound (if you're paying per pound) if you have "more meat than buffet items." I tried to balance out my plate to be half and half and scored the 14.49 rate but if the staff thought I had too much meat I would have paid 19.99 per pound instead. lol. Otherwise I was a fan, the meat was tender juicy and flavorful (especially the steak) and the buffet items were really good as well (polenta and fried plantains were standouts) The wait staff were just okay, my waitress was just standing near the front and I tried to get her eye contact but that didn't work so when the manager came by to check on me (she didn't) I asked him if he could send her to pay. Overall a decent experience but because of their pricing model I won't likely come again.

It was our first time and we just got in line, luckily, someone let us know we had to go up and leave our name with the guy holding the tablet ; there were no directions/signs or staff to direct. Despite the crowd, we were seated in about 20ish minutes. We did the per pound option instead of AYCE and that's what most folks were doing. Service, once we were seated, was attentive, food was good. They could have done a better job at keeping the buffet options stalked, they were out of 3 options. This is definitely a more casual place, no frills and closer to an everyday Brazilian churrascaria. Overall, it was fine, if I were in the neighborhood and looking for a bite, I would stop in again.

I should have just ordered la carte rice, beans & yuca knowing I wouldn't be dissatisfied. I couldn't decided between the chicken and okra or the baked cod with potatoes. Went with the cod; only for when it arrived they gave a menu and it had said Friday's was their salted cod. Let me tell you this was probably the saltiest meal I've ever had in my life. Fish did not taste fresh and ended up picking out and throwing out. They do give a variety of rice and I chose the pasta that had some kalamata olives and would have been ok if not so fishy/salty. I've also had better yuca before... The meal portion (if all tasted well) was a lot of food, which I'd hope for the price. But due to the taste I would absolutely never order the fish again. Also to save extra pennies I would order in person vs delivery app. In the picture below Yuca/salad mix of the day (tasted like potato salad)/baked cod with potatoes (but the Friday special was salted cod and that's what they definitely gave me)/brown - pasta aioli

The beef stew has a tasty, flavorful "stew," but the beef is just plain dry and tough. The chicken is the only saving grace - small little breasts and thighs, slightly crispy skin with light seasoning. The black beans are good, the vegetables, cauliflower, carrots sliced and steamed a bit too long. Rice was cooked well. A piece of deep fried fish was too fishy. Third trip and same results. For $10 (they weigh your plate to determine price), lots of food but questionable quality.

So I went to their website to order - they use a site called ChowNow. I placed the order but it wouldn't update with an ETA. About 10 mins later I got a text my order couldn't be filled and I"d be refunded. I ended up calling in to order - the phone number does bring you to an outdated "covid" type call talking about social distancing. I then had to click 1 for english. When they answered they seemed confused with what I was trying to order and went silent. I hung up and called back a few minutes later and they said they started making the order. I got a small cheese pizza, good size for a small. Pretty decent for price too. I think had the good amount of sauce, I prefer light cheese. Though I usually like thicker crust - I thought it was good crust even though on the ride home it smelled like cardboard pizza. I wouldn't say the dining room was really a place to sit would prefer to have it delivered. No parking lot so it can be complicated finding street parking. He did explain why the order didn't go through on the app said the machine was off and apologized for it a couple of times. He was friendly - not sure if he was the owner.

I assume she (Christina) was either the owner or a relative of the owner because she was telling the girls what to do. I explained to her that I wanted to sample some of the most popular treats in their pastry case. Within seconds she handed me a basket of 4 pastry. One with queijo/cheese, another with guava jam, which resembled a thumb print cookie, another braided cookie and one with a glaze on top. The latter two were a little dry and crumbled too easily for my liking but you could easily eat the guava cookie with tea and the queijo with soup or cut it up into quarters and saute the pieces with a little fresh garlic, olive oil, and parsley and put them in your Cesar salad instead of croutons. Mmm Their pastry case is separated into two categories, salt and sweet. I brought home 4 quiejo ($1) and 3 shredded chicken pastry ($1) and a "donut" filled with caramel that tasted closer to dulce de leche. That was very good. I don't know how authentic this place is since they serve American food, but what was most intruging was their extensive Brazilian sandwich menu. Just look at some of the choices - and they come with french fries. X-Broadway - Steak, Hamburger, Chicken breast, Bacon, Buns, Corn, Peas, Ham, Cheese, Tomato, Lettuce, Egg, Potato Sticks, and mayo. With French Fries on side $7.75 X Chicken - Buns, corn, peas, ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce, chicken breast, potato sticks and mayo $5.50 X- Turkey - Buns, corn, peas, cheese, tomato, lettuce, Sliced turkey, potato sticks and mayo $5.00 Christina said they've been open for 18 months and in that time she has never eaten one of these sandwiches because she confessed, "They're too big." After sampling a bowl of the chicken and yucca soup and the plate of the day, my friends, I must refer you to Oliveira's down the street. The soup was microwaved and contained a ball of unheated protein and starch in the middle, was tepid, and waaay too salty. While the majority of tables seated Brazilians feasting on the plate of the day (large enought for 2 to share), it was not so memorable. Go to Oliveira's down the road and get your churrascaria and buffet on.
