My wife's Brazilian so we love the fact this place is in town, it may also lead to a slightly…read morebiased review due to both of our love for Brazilian food. The venue itself is massive, which to be honest doesn't make for the best atmosphere as it always seems empty (how do they stay open, it really does always seem empty, the rent must be huge). My wife loves that she can talk in her native tongue as the staff are mostly Brazilian which helps, and they don't take the piss when I give my Portuguese a whirl which I always appreciate The food itself consists of a salad buffet along with a hot buffet that when u get there and it's fresh is great. Brazilian beans are a particular fave but don't overdo the carbs, you are saving room for the meat!!! The meat comes in waves of different types, carved at your table. If you haven't tried Brazilian meat, it's well worth it although some cuts are definitely better than others. The good thing is u can l try as many as you want for the £19.95 which is quite pricey but you will leave stuffed! A selection of traditional Brazilian deserts are available although I'm not massively into these, plus I'm normally too full anyway! Well worth a visit, just probably avoid at the weekends evenings as with a pretty unfortunate west street location I'm sure you have a parade of knob ends staggering past the windows!

The food was really good and there was some interesting options. The waitress told me they change the buffet menu from time to time, so I would definitely come back. I was surprise they charged that amount for a meal, since the place seems to be a fancy dining experience. Very few people during lunchtime - maybe because it was a rare sunny day in Brighton and everyone was at the beach but me?? Possibly. Anyway, the staff were friendly and the place is super big and perfect for big groups.

The building is lovely, architecturally at least. The interior decor wasn't so great. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, just nothing particularly right either. It's a great space which could have had a really nice Brazilian themed feel, but it's just got some square black tables and generic leather chairs partnered with inoffensive piped music. It could be any restaurant anywhere. The menu online looked really good buy I felt like it failed to live up to its potential. We visited on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't very busy, which perhaps didn't help. The buffet dishes would have been really good but they hadn't been refreshed, the things which should have been hot no longer were and some of the things which were meant to be cold were obviously flagging a little. Perhaps on a busy night this is better but for us it wasn't great, and as my girlfriend is vegetarian this was her entire meal. You could argue this isn't really a place for vegetarians, and I would agree. The real draw of Brazilian BBQ is the lure of endless varied meats and here is no exception. The meats were mostly pretty good, nicely cooked and well infused with various seasonings and marinades. A couple of chicken offerings were the exception to the rule, I don't know what they had been subjected to before arriving on my plate but they were hard enough to throw through the living room window of someone you don't like. Certainly more than a match for my dentistry. Full BBQ menu was £23, vegetarian option £11. We had a drink each and no dessert and spent just over £40. I left full but not feeling like it represented good value for money, nor particularly compelled to return.

The meat was good (although a few bits under-done), the salads not bad and the cocktails very well done - finally a barman who can make a decent caiprinha! - The only downside was the rice, which had stood for too long and was lacking garlic, and the lack of treats like Pão de Queijo. The service was excellent. Some of the waiting staff were clearly new, but very attentive and prompt. I'll certainly be going back - the management seem very keen to improve and I am sure they'll only get better.

Then he told me that they could not make ANYTHING without adding coriander. Does that sound reasonable? It doesn't to me. Then when I told him I was going to just eat somewhere else, he became very offended. I was going to argue with him, but he was such a dope, I decided to keep my mouth shut and just walk out. What a little prick. I can't comment on the food, because I never even got close to trying anything. But the service is $#!T

Their happy hour rocks pretty hard: 2 for 1 cocktails all day Sun-Wed and from 12-7:30 Thurs-Sat. Translation = you now have a perfectly good reason to drink at noon on a Thursday - 2 for 1! Bless you Las Iguanas. Happy hour also includes Tapas specials: 3 for £14.50 or 5 for £24. We got the prawn fajitas and enough other tapas to feed a small army or just two really greedy people.

For £21.50 it is all you can eat, really as much as you can handle so be sure to take sweat pants when you come here. The salads are lovely and fresh and the meat is bursting with flavour and prepared in front of you (almost). Very long skewers hold beef, chicken, lamb or pork and they are being cooked in a massive fireplace that has a very funny pork sculpture with an apple on its side. Vegetarians fear not, besides the saldad bar they also offer grilled vegetables skewers at a price of £12 for all you can eat.

I had an absolutely outstanding meal here tonight…read more Latino America is a recent addition to the restaurant scene here in Hove. It is in fact the first Argentinian restaurant in East Sussex, something I only found out today! We only happened to go here because we tried to go to Makara next door but it was fully booked, so we thought we might as well give Latino America a go. I'd never had Argentinian food before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but upon looking at the menu there is a lot of choice, especially when it comes to meat! I noticed there was a good selection of vegetarian food on offer too, not your bog standard 'mushrooms with mushrooms' that veggies usually get fobbed off with! We had a starter of Chipa Correntino - cheese rolls made with cassava flour with a Stilton sauce. Oh my! They were absolutely delicious - not too heavy for a starter and the Stilton sauce was delicate and not too over powering. Perfect for sharing. For the main I was going to go for a burger or a steak roll, but Scott liked the look of the Argentine meat experience to share, which was a selection of prime Argentine steak cuts: Cuadril-(Rump), Bife de chorizo (Sirloin), Ojo de bife (Rib Eye) and Lomo (fillet) with a side of rice. Our waiter recommended that we ordered the trio of sauces (Chimchurri, Provenzal and Criolla) to accompany the steak at a further £5. I'm going to be honest here and say my eyes LIT UP when the food came over. Even more so when I finally tucked in! Our waiter recommended that we eat the fillet steak first as it was the highest quality steak and best eaten hot. I am partial to a fillet steak every now and again but this one was melt in the mouth. I didn't it to end! All of the steaks were fantastic and the chimchurri sauce complemented the steaks perfectly. I absolutely would not hesitate to eat here again - and seeing as I live a 2 minute walk away I will 100% be back!

I wanted to go to Makara. Makara is my new favorite place…read more But Makara was full. I was gutted. This place is just a few doors down. Honestly, I thought it would just sell fajitas and tacos and stuff. I was well up for some of that. So we decided to go in. Then as we entered, the waiters and waitresses looked beautiful and the subtlety of the lighting suggested, "This is going to cost you". In my head I sighed. I was right, it did end up costing me. But... it was well worth the money. Sophie and I shared an Argentine Meat Platter, with rice and some a selection of sauces (Chimchurri, Provenzal and Criolla). The meat platter consists of four different types of steak, rump, rib eye, sirloin and fillet. I couldn't tell you what was in the sauces, but I can tell you that every single one complimented the meat. One was meaty, one was salsa-ry and the other was oily. We ate everything. I have never eaten better steak. I want to go back. I now have two new favorite places to eat that are only a few doors away from eachother.
