    Churrasco, Papas Criollas, Southwest Salad
    Kelly T.

    This is, hands down, my favorite food truck! It's located off of 301 in an area with a handful of other food trucks. The staff is friendly, always gloved, and prompt with their service. There is ample parking, but can get a little tight when the food trucks are busy. There are plenty of tables to sit outside. The food is so good. Since so many people follow low carb and keto diets, it should be noted that this is the perfect spot for y'all! They have a wide variety of meat and side options that makes eating low carb easy. As for me, there is no low carb going on so I went with tequenos, which were fresh and fantastic. Even though I have stopped by many times, I pretty much have tried the churrasco every single time. It's just so good that it's hard for me to get anything else. All of the sides we have tried have been great. This is a hidden gem. Literally one of the best places in Riverview!

    This was a rockstar of a discovery on our Friday night. We ventured to Riverview and what brought us to this area were the Colombian Cholado's(fruit salads) at Frutella. This truck caught my eye and I knew we had to try it. I asked a couple who was eating their food about this place and they loved their churrasco and picanha. We chose the churrasco because the guy who worked there said both are excellent and the difference is the churrasco is very juicy and has less fat. The churrasco was a great choice. Ordered a 1/2 pound with two sides - papas criollas (mini yellow potatoes) and fried yuca and split this w/ my hubby. We loved it and it was sooo sooo good. Still dreaming of this meal here and happy too that we split it. Everyone who worked here was very nice. They have picnic tables here and green turf. They don't have shade here. We ate our food at Frutella and ordered are cholado there as well!! This area has four food trucks - a place with sandwiches, Frutella, this truck, and a Mexican food truck. Don't hesitate stopping here!

    This is our second time ordering from this place and it has been positive. Their meat is always tender and juicy. Their sauces are fire and must- haves. Their sides are also really delicious but the portion is a little small. Out favs are def picanha and chorizo. It might take some time to get your food but it's totally worth it. Will return for sure.

    Picanha, beans, and maduros
    Nick T.

    What a fun little area with multiple food choices and what looked like a dessert spot. I personally only went for Vacunos but there were tacos it looked like and a couple other choices. I was hungry one night and didn't feel like cooking and this little hidden gem was about a 10 min drive from me. I really wasn't sure what to expect but I saw charcoal and meat and I was sold (from Yelp). Was not at all disappointed!! I ended up going with the picanha (1/2 lb) with a side of beans and of course, maduros (sweet plantains, my favorite). I took this to go, but they do have outdoor seating, like little patio benches that was pretty spacious. It is right next to a gas station but the ambiance was still very inviting. Service was quick and friendly! The meat was cooked to absolute perfection as I had asked for medium rare and got just that. The maduros were insanely good and the black beans were seasoned perfectly. I will say it's slightly pricey for the portion of meat, but the sides made up for that and really, the meat was perfect. I would definitely come back here to try some other cuts of meat in the future!

    Picana white rice

    Great food and service!! The food was absolutely delicious and very casual atmosphere since it's outside. I had the bowl with churrasco (skirt steak). My husband had the picana (sirloin) with white rice and black beans. Lunch or dinner the food was delicious and not heavy. We will be back!

    Great food at good prices. I have been here at least 10 times in the last 3 months. The meat platter is my fav.

    After our previous visit, we honestly weren't sure if we would return. We had concerns about how…read moreour last experience was handled, and while those concerns still linger somewhat, we also believe it's important to recognize outstanding service when it's deserved. Manager Danny took the time to listen, treated us with respect, acknowledged our previous experience, and encouraged us to have a fresh start. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine commitment to customer service completely changed the direction of our evening into a wonderful experience! From the moment we were seated, the staff was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely outstanding. It reminded us why we've enjoyed dining here over the years. We understand not every experience can be perfect, but great leadership can make all the difference. Danny demonstrated exactly what exceptional hospitality looks like, and because of him and the wonderful staff who took care of us, we left feeling appreciated as customers. Thank you, Danny, and the entire team, for restoring our confidence. We look forward to returning and hope this level of professionalism and customer care continues.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, loved the esthetics. The service was exceptional! My glass was always filled and I appreciated the attention. I wasn't too fond of the hot/cold salad bar. While the selection was large, the quality wasn't there. For instance, the meat in the fried rice was overcooked. The pork belly tasted as if it was sitting there for a while. Shrimp salad had good flavor but too many shells in the salad. Roasted garlic was still crunchy/not cooked through. Few of the signs were mislabeled. The bacon covered jalapeño poppers were labeled as brown sugar bacon. That completely took me by surprise because it was quite HOT! In conclusion, I was expecting the same level of attentiveness for the food selections as I received with the service.

The only (and I mean only) downside was my waiter brought me a second espresso martini when I didn't necessarily ask for one but honestly- I didn't mind. I really enjoyed the amount of windows so you could still see the palm trees outside. It was clean, not too noisy, or overcrowded with tables, and it seemed as if the manager ran a tight ship. Come for the food and drink but stay for the key lime pie.

    This was my first time at Texas de Brazil and it was exactly how people describe it to me…read more Unlimited meat and salad buffet until you're stuffed! I did go during lunch time so the menu might've been limited but nevertheless still great. The restaurant was busy at its lunch hours but we're still accommodating. It was a dark moody vibe there. The server comes and ask if it's your first time dinning and also asks you how you want your meat cooked. The servers then come around with different types of meat to choose from. Our server was really nice and made sure our group was take care of. The salad bar was amazing and full of different choices. I really liked the churrasco cooked in medium. Desserts is served À la carte if you're up to it. Now were the steaks great? I think they're great for the price point. I recently just started having a thing for steak and I would say that it's worth it coming here if you are a meat lover.

The steak tartare was exquisite but I will say if you order a steak you do not need apps since it does come with steak, potato, salad, French onion soup, veggie, and onion straws. Good bang for your buck! You will spend a lot but it is more than worth it. The kitchen and wine tour just gives you an idea of the production of this magical place. The history and authenticity is just amazing.

I suggest you do not sleep on the escargot. It was perfect and the gazpacho style soup was wayyyy better than their,in my opinion, burnt French onion soup. (We came at the end of the night, so chalk that up to being literally one of the last guests). Wine list was INSANE and the cellar tour was one of the highlights of my year it was amazing to see so many old and relived bottles and some of the rarest in the world. This experience alone is why I give it 5 stars. I don't think my waygu filet was waygu- no marbling and it was not buttery at all we actually boxed it up immediately because it was not cooked med rare, but we were sharing a plate so, whatever. Kitchens seem to hate when people share but I have a special need and cannot eat large portions like that so, it was not us being cheap. We wanted to go to the dessert room, and so I wanted to save my last few bites for that. Food was basic in my opinion- but it was a grand experience and the server and very attentive and kind It was strange but they add 13% (didn't seem enough in my experience) to the bill, we added more, but didn't understand the feez?? I want to always leave a good tip but I didn't know if it was a "service fee" or if it was for the server it was not fully explained. (Hope he got the full tip.) Upstairs was the dessert room, the nostalgia of this was heavenly. A phone on the wall you can call the pianist and request a song. It was amazing. The flourless chocolate sundae---- OMG so good. The tiny but tasty brandy Alexander for the price it should have been much creamier and more than 2oz of whatever it was it didn't have all of the ingredients in it as described, but hey I still give this place 5 stars because it is kinda like a brothel meets the haunted mansion meets/ your grandmas house. So it was definitely unique and worth the over 400$ bill I just wish they would explain what their "service fee is" and when you order waygu- don't send out a regular filet to a person, who is a chef. It's insulting and really not what a company should do. Again, we were the last guests of the night we booked late on purpose, and start to finish this place was fascinating. The truffled tar tar was also very good. We had apps, wine, drinks dessert, steaks, salads, soups our waitstaff made up for the kitchens error on the cut of meat and we still at it next day. Fascinating is the word I think of for this Tampa favorite. I will go back but skip the meal and have appetizers, wine, and dessert. Hope they don't mind that.
