You have a choice between AYCE or by the pound. I know last time I came I got AYCE but honestly I don't eat that much anymore, so by the pound is more cost effective for me. There also are two different prices based on whether you want BBQ + sushi with your buffet. (Sushi??? I'll stick to BBQ when going Brazilian.) I tried to sample small amounts of the dishes on the buffet and then got some picanha and another steak cut (maminha). Both BBQ cuts were very good - I liked the maminha more. (Fraldihna is my usual favorite, and it's kind of similar to the maminha.). They had a chicken with capers that was probably my favorite of the buffet dishes. The stroghanoff wasn't bad. Some of the other meat dishes on the buffet were a bit dry. I got a mystery empanada which turned out to be guava & cheese, if it had been warmed it would have been better. I love guava, but there was just a little small rectangle of guava paste in the very center; probably 80% of the empanada had no filling. Similarly, the cheese bread balls were cold and hard. Those need to be right out of the oven to be worth it. It's a shame, they probably were good when they were first made but they weren't by the time I got to them. The potato salad was ok but the balance of mayo to potato & other veg was off (too much mayo). I had some fresh fruit too. All in all, I'd definitely come back (I love the steak!) but I'd focus on the things I know are good rather than trying a lot of things.

We ordered pizza, and when it arrived it was cold. After the food was delivered, we again had difficulty getting anyone's attention to ask for water and later the check.

There are other places to enjoy Brazilian food where customers receive much better attention and better food.

There was a self-serve area for customers to get rice, beans, and other items. Behind the counter, there was a display with pastries and another with empanadas. I ordered one chicken and a ham and cheese. I also ordered two churros. Once I saw how cheap they were, I asked to add two more. I was accidentally charged for two more empanadas. I told the lady behind the register what happened and she denied that I was charged incorrectly and I had to explain a couple of times before someone else told her exactly what I already told her and she finally fixed it. Overall, I don't think I would go back to this particular location. The empanadas were good but the churros were cold and the customer service wasn't great.

I have been to this establishment every week for over 5 years. I loved bringing my 3 young children, husband and friends here. However, today I came here with my elderly, injured mother and my young daughter. A young Brazilian cashier with dark, curly hair spoke so disrespectfully to my mother! When I asked her to show some respect to elders (and injured elders at that), she refused to serve us and take our money. What kind of cashier speaks ill to their customers and refuses to take their money!? I feel really badly for the owner of Brazilian Bakery, because he hired a cashier who refuses to sell to his customer. She literally turned our $30 away. And only because I asked her to show some respect to my elderly mother. I was flabbergasted! I asked what is the problem? She said, "The only problem here is your annoying, stupid mother." Inside I wanted to punch her in the face, but because I have class and was raised better, I told her that she is what she called my mother! I promised her that I will inform her manager and other patrons about her awful customer service and disrespect. If you are Brazilian and crave Brazilian food, go to "By Brazil" or the cafe around the corner (Americas). Not only is the food there spectacular, their staff is so respectful and warm, and they never refuse to take your money! Be advised my fellow Brazilian neighbors!

The vibe was…read morenice, but I felt like service fell below what I had expected. 3.5/5 First and foremost, parking is either self parking in the garage for $8 or valet for $3. We had a family event of approximately 36-40, and 4 waiters to attend to our party. I think it would be better if they split the waiters by section- I felt it was disorganized - I had to ask for the drink menu 3x and waited 20 minutes. They also took our dessert order but then my mom and I never got ours- but the waiter said he brought everything out (there was nothing served to us), and he did eventually bring it out about 25-30 min later when we were leaving. It seems like they bring around the meat selections speedily for about 30-45 min (it's like one immediately after the other) and then it's finished- so make sure you get the selections within those first 30-45 min. But they did bring some meats back when people asked- so that was nice. The ribeye and filet were the best, I'd skip the chicken- super dry. Desserts were average to subpar. Cosmo was watered down but the espresso martini was good! I think I'll try again as just a smaller party/regular dining guest and see how that goes. Overall, felt like it was ok but room for improvement. Service was the biggest thing that overshadowed the experience.

Laury our server was on top of ensuring we knew what to expect as well as informing us to let her know if we had any special requests. She offered a pitcher of lemonade instead of single servings which was needed since we wanted to consume as much of this wonderful dinner feast as possible. The buffet style salad area was very different than your average salad bar; so many great selections you are sure to fill your plate. The huge variety of meats were cooked to perfection; as you like it, and the side dishes were perfect, everything seasoned so well. When we finished our meals, Laury brought out the sample selections of desserts, How I wished we could but we ate so much and truly enjoyed it all. We will certainly be back to Texas de Brazil and I'll try not to attempt to consume Every Meat (lol). Thank you Texas de Brazil for such wonderful service, food and a very memorable evening.

The buffet is decent, the steak cuts are arlight - the cook and temperature of the meats is inconsistent. The biggest thing I have is that they always seem to skip us with the good cuts like lamb chops. The drinks are really good and the staff is very friendly. Finally, I don't like the fact that the manager always has to come when we use gift cards that we bought from Costco or were gifted to us.

1 Star is too much -- Very disappointing experience…read more We were really excited to try this restaurant because we were hoping for an authentic Argentinian dining experience. Unfortunately, it was nothing like what we expected, and the food was extremely disappointing. Then I found out the owner is Bolivian not even Argentinian. The chimichurri was red and had a very different taste than what we expected. The green hot sauce was basically like eating raw jalapeño--extremely overpowering. The mashed potatoes were watery and very salty, and the broccoli was literally sitting in so much water that almost half of the bowl was full of it. The rice tasted like microwave rice, and the French fries were just ordinary fries. The biggest disappointment was the meat. It was extremely fatty, chewy, and had almost no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. For an Argentinian restaurant, the quality and preparation of the meat should be one of the highlights, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. Honestly, we could barely eat our food and ended up leaving most of it. What made the experience even worse was that, despite barely being able to eat the food, we were still charged half of the meal. The total bill was over $85, and that included $5 for a small cup of what tasted like microwave rice. Just in case the food looks half-empty in the pictures, we did put some of the food onto our plates to try it. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat it, so that's why some of the containers look partially empty. As someone who was genuinely looking forward to trying Argentinian food, this experience was incredibly disappointing. In my opinion, this restaurant does not represent the quality or flavors that people expect from Argentinian cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would not return.

The service was excellent and accommodating. I was impressed because I know large groups can be difficult to wait on, so was very pleased with the service and how quick they were to get our orders in and us served. We ordered a variety of appetizers, such as the the empanadas, calamari, and garlic shrimp. My favorite items were the empanadas and calamari, which were extra tasty with the accompanying sauces. We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

The restaurant serves authentic South American dishes. You can choose from dishes from Brazil,…read moreColombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. I went here because my mom wanted to eat food from her home country of Ecuador. My mom was craving the tripe stew (guatita). My mom enjoyed it but said it could have been better. Something about boiling the tripe. My wife and I ordered the Kumbia Parrillada. Wow! The portions of meats was overwhelming. We enjoyed it. We had leftovers for 3 people. I'm not a big beef eater. But I'm sure if you like steak, you will definitely love this dish. But the star of the meal was the Marranitas. My wife and I greatly enjoyed this dish. My wife love to eat anything with corn. This appetizer was my favorite dish. It is a little pricey but it's probably average prices of most restaurants. If you enjoy Latin cuisine, I definitely recommend Kumbia. After 10pm, it turns into a dance club. They have live bands or DJs. I didn't stick around for the music. But I'm sure its like any Latin club atmosphere.

I overheard another server telling the table next to us that the restaurant was not making mac and cheese until 4pm for dinner- so there would be no Mac and cheese for brunch. The customer was upset- and so were we. We definitely love trying Mac and cheese from different locations- we love cheese!! That was upsetting, especially when you're paying a nice amount of money. It seemed like the rest of the food was in stock so we leaned on that. The omelette station was great! They had a lot of variety and the chef was nice. She spoke to me in Spanish so I spruced up on my skills !! I did need to ask her for a plate because the plates were missing from the buffet and I wasn't sure where to find them. Finally someone from the staff brought plates- so I was in business! They had a hot bar on the wall near the omelette station which included fried chicken, bacon, eggs, potatoes, caramelized bananas, I might be missing something- it was pretty good and they kept it stocked most of the time. Made to order was shrimp and grits (not great or flavorful in my opinion) but the waffles were okay. The staff walked around with different cuts of meat and pineapple and shaved it off for us to try. I enjoyed the pineapple and the chicken wrapped in bacon... I just unwrapped it. I don't eat beef or pork, so yeah. They also had skirt steak and another type of pork. Babe tried all the meat and it looked like he enjoyed it, but he didn't really go back for seconds when they came around again. I thought it was good, but not excellent. I was just looking for something more for the experience. Then gentleman busser did a great job of clearing the plates and glasses to ensure we had space at the table and it looks neat and clean so we could continue to enjoy our food. The cold bar has a LOT of variety! But some of the food looked a little dried out like it's been left up there for a while. I knew it couldn't have been there for too long because brunch had only been open for about two hours prior to us arriving. Maybe pairing foods with the right environment to make them look and taste their best for a Buffet would make it look more appealing (example: the mussels- looked really dry, and I wanted to try them but it didn't look appetizing. Maybe put them in a sauce so they can look more appealing)... they might have tasted good but they looked old so I didn't try them. All the drinks were really good so that is def a win!! We tried the strawberry mimosa and the peach Bellini! Our server Chiquera did a wonderful job! She was super polite and attentive... she is the reason I would return to the restaurant. She also gave great suggestions! She gave me her specialty blueberry mojito - and it was fresh and just delicious! I think if the menu was reworked a bit to give the buffet food a fair chance and actually having what is on the menu available (Mac and cheese).. this place could do even better!
