    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!

I ordered the Signature Cut Special while my husband ordered from the regular menu. When the bill arrived, I politely pointed out that I had been charged incorrectly. Instead of simply checking the order, our server, Talis, told me that other meat carvers had supposedly seen me eating the regular menu item and implied that I was being dishonest. I was shocked. Being publicly accused of lying over a dinner order is completely unacceptable. I repeatedly explained that I had ordered the Signature Cut Special, yet the argument continued until I firmly stood my ground. Only then did he back off. We brought the situation to management's attention. While Manager Paulo has always been professional, courteous, and customer-focused, our interaction with Manager Michael left much to be desired. Rather than immediately addressing the seriousness of a customer being falsely accused, the situation was handled in a way that felt dismissive and unprofessional. The issue was never about the money. It was about respect. Long-time customers should not be treated as though they are trying to deceive staff over a menu item. What should have been an enjoyable evening turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. Sadly, this was one of the worst customer service experiences we've had here, and it has made us seriously reconsider this establishment.

    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.

    It's expensive, but delicious…read more Costco usually has a deal on gift cards where it's $180 for $200 worth of GC, so you save $20. You may think will I really spend $200 there? Yes, yes you will. My younger son is 4. It's only $5 for kids between the age of 3 and 5, which is an insanely good deal. My older son is 7 so his cost is half the price of the adult. With the adult price being $60 that's not worth it to us (I'm sure I'd feel differently if he was a big eater.) It used to be the just salad bar price wasn't that much less expensive than the full price. Now the price is like half. So since I love mainly the salad bar, I stuck with that. This means for lunch on a Sunday for me (salad bar), my husband (full price), my son ($5) and two non alcoholic drinks ($9), plus tax and tip it came out to close to $150. I'm not usually one to shy away from expensive meals but this was a bit pricey to me. Since my younger son loves meat and thoroughly enjoyed the experience I'll do it, but this is a treat, not an every day thing. The salad bar was spectacular as always. I love the scalloped potatoes and lobster bisque. I also eat my fill of smoked salmon. My husband and son enjoyed the meat. Parking is always a pain on the Texas de Brazil side, so I parked on the Kona grill side and walked. Service is always great here. They come by to make sure you got all the meat you wanted. I would recommend this place for a special occasion. It is good, but expensive.

    We decided to try something different since we were in Tampa and made reservations for 8:15 PM…read more When we arrived, the entrance was packed and there was no host or hostess in sight. Several couples were waiting. While standing there, we heard a woman tell another patron she did not have a reservation, yet when the manager came out to seat guests, he seated a large group and then that party of three before the rest of us who had reservations. Shortly after, he loudly announced, "Reservations first," which was confusing considering what we all had just witnessed. When we were finally seated, we were initially placed at the worst table in the room by the kitchen and bathroom but were accommodated after requesting a move. We then waited 10-15 minutes before the manager instructed Daniel to take care of us. Daniel ended up being the highlight of the evening--professional, apologetic, and attentive despite circumstances clearly outside of his control. We ordered empanadas, only to find out the flavors we wanted were sold out. Daniel brought cheesesteak, four-cheese, and shredded beef instead. The cheesesteak had decent flavor but was dry. Overall, the empanadas were very doughy and the meat lacked moisture. We then ordered the All Beef Parrillada. When it arrived, my wife checked the temperature and tasted a small piece. Immediately after, a server returned and said the dish wasn't ours and took it back. We watched her walk into the kitchen and then bring the same tray out to another table seated two tables away--who had been seated after us. That was extremely concerning. To make matters worse, we were then informed that mashed potatoes were no longer available and needed to select another side--yet the table that received the dish we had touched was served mashed potatoes. We ended up with extra rice and spinach. The spinach was oily with no noticeable garlic, salt, or seasoning. The rice was plain white rice with peas and carrots and little flavor. The steak itself, however, was well-seasoned and prepared nicely. During our visit, we also noticed another Black couple seated next us who waited at least 30 minutes without being greeted or even served water. They eventually left. Shortly after, the table was seated with white males who were greeted and attended to within 10 minutes. That observation was very difficult to ignore after talking to them. Daniel did not charge us for the empanadas, spinach, or the sangria (which he made promptly so we wouldn't experience another long wait). The sangria was very good. His professionalism and sincere attitude were the only things that salvaged the evening. Overall, the service inconsistencies, food execution, and handling of dishes--especially serving a plate that had already been touched--were disappointing and extremely concerning. We came for a different experience, but unfortunately left questioning whether we would return. 2 stars for steak taste and season and Daniel's effort.

My…read morewife thought the atmosphere and ambience looked and felt as if it were designed by John Gotti's interior designer. XD I personally thought it was fine. The physical building itself is very unique, very old school... lot's of hidden hallways and tucked away rooms. Almost like a dungeon-exploring adventure (not a bad thing). The food was good. My wife enjoyed the foie gras ($34) tremendously. I enjoyed the lobster bisque (+$11 from included French onion soup with steak) moderately. (had a non-traditional "spice" to it) My wife orders the 8oz filet mignon, and I ordered the 14oz Delmonico (a.k.a. ribeye). The filet was very good, and the Delmonico was good. Neither were out-of-this-world (certainly not enough to warrant the exorbitant price). The baked potato (which mine included butter, cheese, and bacon) had a "bite" to it, something that I did not expect (or enjoy). It might be the butter... they say it was a sweet cream butter, but there was a tartness to it all that was off-putting. I also ordered a thrice-baked potato, just to try it out. It was awful! Bern's has often been rated as the #1 steak house in Tampa, but I just don't get it. Perhaps my unrefined palette is lost on all the Frenchy froo froo stuff. I feel like I could make everything they offered better myself... for a FIFTH of the price. Everything is just so expensive there, and at those prices, I need to feel like it is the best thing I've every had in my life. It was far from this. Additionally, the time it took was very long. I get it, this is a multi-course situation, and you're supposed to take your time and not be rushed. But I personally don't generally take 90 minutes from start to finish to each my food.... I'm just not that guy. The atmosphere and intimacy were great for special occasions, but all in all, I don't think we will be going back, ever.
