Absolutely wonderful experience. Our family of eight made a reservation so when we arrived, we were…read moreseated promptly. (Highly recommend reservations.) Every single person who worked here that we encountered were at the top of their game. Polite, respectful, and very helpful. The restaurant itself was incredibly clean and quite lovely. The food was absolutely amazing. I have never heard a bad thing about their food but I don't think anyone prepared me for how delicious every single thing was. My daughter ran up to the bar and made me a cheese plate for an appetizer. It was all perfection. When the meat started arriving at the table I was blown away by the whole experience. Every single thing that I tried was simply the best. Even a chicken leg was probably the most delicious piece of chicken I've ever had. I tried to keep up with everything that I tried, but I lost track very swiftly. (I do believe I tried everything except for the salmon because I don't care for salmon. The other people at our table did try it and loved it.) At one point I realized I had tried almost everything but not the lamb. I mentioned it to a family member who has been there before and they immediately flagged down a waiter to tell them. Turns out that you have to ask for it specially. Very soon after, lamb arrived at the table and I will continue to dream about those lamb chops probably for the rest of my life. So savory and delicious. As for the non-meat items, the grilled pineapple and fried cheese & honey blew me away. Both were items I haven't tried before but thoroughly enjoyed. The cheese puffs and the polenta sticks were also delicious. All in all, this was definitely a night to remember. I highly recommend going here.

Our waitress left before us so they had a very hard time figuring out our checks in the end. Some people overpaid, some didn't pay at all lol. It was a cluster.

From the moment we arrived, the elegant yet welcoming atmosphere made us feel special; however, what truly elevated the entire experience was the service. The attention we received was impeccable, with the staff constantly attentive to every detail and ensuring that we lacked absolutely nothing. I would like to give a special shout-out to two individuals who made our visit unforgettable: Luara and Andrew. Their level of professionalism, kindness, and dedication was truly impressive. Luara was incredibly attentive, always wearing a genuine smile and ensuring that everything at our table was perfect. Andrew, for his part, complemented the experience with equally warm and efficient service, demonstrating extensive knowledge of the menu and a constant willingness to assist. Together, they managed to create a personalized experience, making us feel like more than just customers--we felt like special guests. That kind of service is hard to come by, and it truly makes all the difference. The only point for improvement was that the drinks took a little longer than usual to arrive. Aside from that, everything was perfect. Definitely recommended!

The…read morewalk up "bar" had so much to offer and choose from, could be a little overwhelming so maybe scope it out before you start loading your plate! The table offerings were so great! The top sir line was definitely my favorite and got it a few times it came around! There wasn't just meat that was offered on the table side. There was also fried cheese, which was amazing with some honey there was also a candied pineapple that was to die for I could've just eaten that alone! Also they bring out mashed potatoes, plantains, yucca, fries, and cheese bread!! again pace yourself you could get full very quickly! I also had a Carijjio here that can be a drink that is hard to make or get right and they did an amazing job. I also asked for decaf and they were accommodating to that as well! I do think that from the perspective of it being tableside with a feel of self serve that you can overindulge too quickly so again pacing yourself is the best bang for your buck here! Definitely excited to try again with a very empty belly

I was lowkey afraid that I would never find some Guarana soda and linguica ever again...especially not in Jax. Low and behold I found the place that answered my prayers!

I didn't try the buffet cause I wanted to hurry home and attempt to make the linguica just like I remembered in Rio (I failed...like really bad) Friendly people that work there..will come back to try the buffet soon!

I love to check out authentic ethnic restaurants like this place. I've passed by it several times…read morebut never got a chance to stop by. It's a grocery store/ buffet place with brazilian customers who speak Portuguese. I came towards the end of the buffet so this might not reflect the actual experience. The buffet has a nice variety of beef, pork shoulder, chicken legs but by the time I had tried it the meat was quite tough and dry. Probably due to the fact that it has been sitting out for awhile by the portable heater. Other sides the buffet had were beans, rice, plantains which were fine. For $16 a buffet I would check it out again to see if the food was any better at the start of the buffet. You can also shop for brazilian drinks and snacks after you finish eating. The mango and Guarana drinks are quite tasty.

She is always so kind and cheerful. Besides that, they don't seem very friendly but I think that it's because of a language barrier. However, a smile and or a simple Hello would make folks feel better about choosing to spend their money there. I enjoy sitting in their spacious eating area. It is set off far enough from the food bar to enjoy your meal. I will definitely continue to have lunch there. I just love the authentic and freshly made food that they offer.

Every week our community has a food truck night, and this week happened to be Brazilicious. Since…read moreI'm a huge picanha fan, it was a no brainer that we'd have to give it a shot. We ordered the samba plate, which allows you to pick any 3 meats, so we selected picanha (cooked rare), shrimp, and sausage. Unfortunately, the steak ended up being closer to well done by the time we made it back to the house, but I think that's just the cost of taking steak to-go, and not necessarily the fault of the restaurant or chef since it's natural for it to continue cooking inside of the styrofoam box. Temperature aside, the flavor and quality of the meat was great, and you receive a very generous portion for the price. Along with the samba plate, we ordered steak fries and empanadas. Although the steak fries were pretty plain.. basically just steak plopped on top of fries, they were delicious, especially with the creamy herb sauce that is served with them. The empanadas were ginormous, and I like that the dough almost flaky rather than being super thick. We were very pleased with Brazilicious and will definitely hit them up again next time!

Got a Brazilian sausage wrap with fries. Not sure what makes it "Brazilian" sausage, if anything,…read morebut it's a good choice of sausage for a wrap I guess. It's thick and meaty and not too soft. The pita is of the very thick and soft variety, which is naturally my favorite. The vinaigrette and sour cream sauce mix also works pretty well. The fries were just okay. In hindsight, some of the other menu items were more interesting, but I just felt like getting a wrap. I'll have try other stuff if I see this truck again.

I added the sauces to add flavor and heat. All in all, it was too much in one sitting so I took it home. I would recommend additional seasoning for the seafood & a lemon to squeeze over it and wake up the flavor.
