Picanha (sirloin cap steak)
Jude A.

I ordered the picanha steak with the black bean chili and the rotisserie chicken. The steak was off the off chain, and the chicken was fantabulous. The chili had marvelous flavor and was well-seasoned. I noticed that there wasn't anywhere to sit. I snuck around back and found a spot with a table and two chairs. Definitely a good place for some decent grub.

This past Monday, wife and I discovered this spot on yelp. We proceeded to place an order, picture below, order confirmed, delivery on its way. Yay! Lets get ready to eat. Except, when the food was delivered, we only had the 2 chicken plates, and the rest of the order was missing. Call the driver several times (uber eats), no answer, call the restaurant, got an answer, was told owner will call me back. Greg called me within 15 minutes and was so quick to offer us an apology, guaranteed that the food was packed and given to the driver, and wanted to make up for it, even though they didn't have to. Basically told me to call or text for our next meal, and he'll take care of us. Awesome. We ate the chicken that was delivered, and man! That was goooooooooodddd! So not only was the food great, but the attention to detail and customer satisfaction was exemplary. 2 days later, today, we decided to take Greg up on his offer. Texted him initially and called him later, to find out later that he was on a flight and couldn't respond. His wife, Simoni, called me instead and was aware of the situation. She also offered several apologies and wanted to make it right. She basically gave us our original order for free due to the mishap. I haven't even left my parking spot to write this review, because, well, it is just such a shock to receive this kind of service and I want to give them the credit they undoubtedly deserve. This bag of their amazing food smells so good, I might just starting picking at it on my drive. Let me tell you, even if it wasn't about the food, Greg and Simoni won a customer for life. And it doesn't hurt that the food is so "mouth-watering-ly" delicious. You can feel the love they put in their craft. Check them out! Amazing! Thank you guys!

Staying at the Hilton Culver City for the first time, I opened my trusty Yelp app to find dinner. I'm a picky foodie that opts for local businesses over chains. Sexy beans? Interesting. Brazilian. Good reviews. Score. After fumbling across several streets, I finally found the "restaurant" down an alley. It's not a restaurant. My bad for not reading more carefully. One picnic table around the side. No chairs. It's designed for Uber Eats, Door Dash, pickup, etc. You're obviously meant to wait in your car. You can order on an iPad at a window. OK, just roll with it. I ordered a Picanha, beans and rice plate, and sat down on the curb to wait. I carried my order across the street to the mall food court to have a place to sit, and unveiled my food. Very visually appealing. The steak was medium rare and juicy. The beans were perfect, with good bits of meat in them. I had greens, onion, tomato and pepper to put on my rice (along with that steak juice!) So here's my verdict; it wasn't OK. It wasn't good. It wasn't great. It was next level awesome! Everything was hot and wonderfully flavorful. The excellent reviews are well earned. 4 stars for making an old man sit on the ground for 20 minutes. A few chairs would be most welcome.

Best Brazilian beans ever! I love it! It's so hard to find a good Brazilian food in the US... Obrigada por essa comida deliciosa!

Allison W.

Ok let me just say-- I lived in Brazil for six months and have been searching all over LA for food that even slightly compares to the food in Brazil. And this place has THE BEST comida brasileira (brazilian food) that tastes just like the real thing!!! :))) I mean literally- the BEANS are Unbelievably delicious!! I've not found it's equal anywhere in the states. It might even be BETTER than what I tried in Brazil itself... and that was amazing already!! But....This recipe though... it's marvelous!! :)))) the feijão/feijoada (beans), the picanha (special Brazilian steak), the frango (chicken)!!! I love it all so much and crave it all the time!!! :))) Since they opened (only a couple of weeks ago) I've ordered it four different times already ;)) I truly have deep cravings for those beans and that steak!!! :))) Thanks so much everyone at Sexy Beans for being the most authentic and delicious that I've found :))) and please be prepared for me to order from y'all *at least* once a week :)))

Does the regular order of Brazilian black beans have meat in them? The extra meaty option as well as the separate vegetarian option make me think so. Thanks in advance!

The beans have meat in them.

How to introduce friends to Brazilian food? Take them to Pampas! They offer 35+ hot and cold…read morehome-style dishes alongside an excellent meat selection. Best of all, it's pay-by-weight, so everyone can try exactly what they want at their own comfort level. Located in a plaza one block from Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, the restaurant is quite spacious, with inside seating for 60+ guests and a covered patio for 70 more. The food selection was phenomenal, featuring everything from garlic rice, pasta, cassava, pão de queijo (cheese balls), and salads to stroganoff and the famous feijoada. For meats, they offer the iconic Picanha, plus garlic chicken, sausage, lamb leg and more. The price was reasonable, the service was friendly, and food was great. Highly recommended.

After waiting in line with others who were anxious to dive in to what this glorious place had to offer, we got several meats and were able to sit in an area where we could listen to both the beautiful live music and the exciting Dodger game. We sat at a table that was in the middle of all the entertainment and we did not regret it. As everything else was drowned out while we conversed with each other, we continued to share our thoughts after tasting the different items. We stayed till it got dark outside and enjoyed our time there while experiencing another Dodgers victory! Thinking about it makes me want to go back to grab another plate, but it will be worth the wait once again prior to our next visit.

I had a fantastic experience at Cafe Brasil on Washington Blvd! I ordered the steak with basmati…read morerice, a side salad, and plantains, and everything was absolutely delicious. The steak was flavorful and cooked just right, and the combination of the rice, fresh salad, and sweet plantains made for an incredible meal. Washed down with a bottled carbonated Brazilian beverage. So satisfying. The steak was bursting with flavor, the atmosphere was über authentic, and service from the endearing owner, Fatima, made the experience literally chef's besos! You can tell there's a lot of pride and care that goes into this well-heeled operation. If you're looking for delicious Brazilian food and a great dining experience, I highly recommend Cafe Brasil. I'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience…read more At first, the place looks really nice and the prices don't seem bad at all. But once the food arrived at our table, everything changed. Almost everything we tried was extremely salty. The empada ($4.50) was honestly one of the worst I've ever had. The coxinha and risole tasted like they had been fried in old oil and were so overcooked and burnt that they were barely edible. As a Brazilian, this was especially disappointing. When you go to a Brazilian café, you hope to enjoy some of the flavors and foods you grew up with, but unfortunately, this was nowhere close to what we expected. Our bill was around $50 for: 1 pastel, 1 coxinha, 1 risole, 4 pão de queijo, 1 orange juice, and 2 guaranás. Then came another surprise: we ordered a passion fruit dessert for $4.50, and the portion was less than half of a small cup. On top of that, you could barely taste any passion fruit. I normally understand that restaurants can have an off day, but there were simply too many problems with the food to overlook. For around $50, the quality and portions were extremely disappointing. Based on our experience today, I unfortunately cannot recommend this place. Save your time and money and look elsewhere if you're hoping for good Brazilian food.

Our experience at their Pico location was so good that we decided to try their Hawthorne spot…read more The restaurant has its own 10-space parking lot in the back which can fill up quickly, but street parking is available. Inside, with its casual eatery vibe, is spacious enough for 80 guests. Since we arrived early, we were seated right away by the very friendly staff. For this visit, we ordered their pastel appetizer, churrasco combo, and a side order of collard green. Food started arriving within five minutes. The pastels in a set of 3 different fillings were perfectly fried with crispy outer layers. The beef filling was well seasoned. The cheese was nicely chewy. And the guava cheese one was quite exquisite with its tangy sweet flavor. The Churrasco Combo (serves 2-3 people): The sides of cheese balls were pleasantly chewy, and the French and cassava fries were lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The rice was perfectly seasoned, and the black beans were rich and smooth. Now, the stars of the combo, the meats: the Picanha steak was perfectly medium rare with a buttery soft texture, the chicken thighs were super tender, and the pork sausage was juicy and savory. The collard green side order was perfectly prepared. Beautifully braised, leaving them incredibly tender and packed with flavor. To wrap up our dinner, we ordered a bite-sized Brigadeiro dessert. Just enough sweetness to satisfy our sweet tooth. Great food and service, reasonable price. Highly recommended.
