    Interior, menu
    Jason B.

    I'd only peeked through the glass at this place, but, finally decided to give them a go. The place is cozy, with ample seating, with a nice vibe, but not too loud, though I had a bit of trouble hearing the guy behind the counter, who was preparing a bowl for another guest. He greeted me, and asked me over the noise of the ventilation, and the music playing if it was my first visit. I told him it was, and gave me a quick rundown of their ordering menu kiosk, which I had zero issues with. I made my choices, paid, and waited. The place is lively, with a purple theme of sorts that represents the Açaí they serve. The music isn't that loud, compared with Subculture next door, and the inside has a welcoming feel. I ordered the São Paulo, and added honey and agave both, with collagen added on, as well as PB crumbles. Presentation-wise, my bowl was well-crafted, with banana slices taking up roughly half the bowl, and strawberry slices taking up the other half. Granola, honey, and agave made up the second layer(if the PB crumbles were in there, I didn't notice), with the base consisting of chilled, almost to ice cream consistency, Açaí. As a whole, it was very good. I found myself digging straight in, after eating away at some of the top layer. The blend of granola, honey, agave, and Açaí made for a nice combo. My one issue is, while I could taste the Açaí, which was not flavorless, mind you, but, chilled to the point where I couldn't get a good read on the flavor. I think what I'll do the next time I come here is let my bowl sit for a while, or, order takeout, and eat it at home. I'll definitely try some of their juices out, as well. All in all, I like this place, and I'll give them another go, for sure.

    Great service here, first timer. They offered me samples of the different flavored açaí but I had my retainers in lol so I was grabbing items to go. I went with the classic Acai, with some berries and almonds. It was tasty. I also got the small spinach empeñada which was good but a little salty. I appreciate the nice bag it came in, I can definitely reuse it lol. Nice and clean facility, some seating available and a couple tables outside.

    Solid acai spot. They have a pretty good variety of toppings and the bowl was tasty. Service is pretty quick and the place was clean. I was curious about some of the pastries they had up front, so I'll have to go back again to try them!

    Já foram melhor. Sempre que vou lá, parece que o lugar está abandonado. Comprei duas coxinhas com catupiry, e elas estavam com aspecto e gosto de velhas, craquelando, certamente requentadas. Para piorar, não vendem mais o brownie delicioso que tinham nem guaraná. Perderam um cliente fiel depois de hoje. They used to be better. Every time I go there, it seems like the place is abandoned. I bought two chicken croquettes with cream cheese, and they looked and tasted old, cracked, certainly reheated. To make matters worse, they no longer sell the delicious brownie they used to have, nor guarana soda. They lost a loyal customer after today.

    Great customer service and options of Acai bowls. 10/10 would recommend. Anna was great and efficient with all the customers.

    Build Your Own Bowl ( Hawaiian açaí base, almond butter, granola, strawberries, and pineapple

    It was my first time trying this place. I've heard great things about the açaí bowls, but I was pretty disappointed. I went during closing time ( around 7:55ish ) but the staff was sweet about still taking our orders. I built my own açaí bowl with the Hawaiian açaí base, strawberries, pineapple, almond butter, and granola. They ran out of chia pudding, which makes sense because it was the end of the day. But the fruits were hard to eat because they were sour and some felt like they were going bad. Regarding prices, it's more expensive when you make your own bowl because of the add-ons I added. For example, adding almond butter was $1.49 extra ( I barely got any almond butter on my bowl ) as compared to other açaí bowls where I ask for extra almond butter free of charge. The Hawaiian açaí base was delicious though. It had açaí, pineapple, strawberry, and mango; very flavorful! I won't be trying the açaí bowls again, but will come back to have the Hawaiian açaí base as a smoothie.

    Delicious! Good variety and selection. Loved the friendly service! Easy to use payment. Looking forward to coming back!

    Ordered The Cali Bowl! I modified it to my liking and it looks so good! The staff is also super friendly and even offered help with anything I needed. I'm usually more of a fan of the "create your own bowl" experience but it is very easy to modify your order if needed. Thank you to Maya who was also very kind to me :)

    My daughter and I love coming here because they have such delicious bowls and I love that my daughter is having something that is actually nutritious. The place is so clean and they have great customer service. Thank you Edwin for your great service!

    Beyond disappointed about this location. Was coming here once a week for a long time and last couple times the quality has been horrible! And they even raised the prices. The last visit i got a ham and cheese empanada and a smoothie, I have no idea what they served me but I took one but and instantly spit it out I have no idea what I even took a bite of. Will not be going back to acai republic anymore

    Bowl + 2 additional topping $16.

But my husband reassured me that the food looked good, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt fancy without being over the top. The staff seated us right away and explained how everything worked. I chose the salad bar option, while my husband went with the full meat option. As soon as I tasted the food, I was immediately sold. The rice, beans, and mushrooms were all cooked perfectly. Everything had great flavor and the right amount of salt. Their salads were so good, and they had an endless supply of delicious cheeses and olive oil. They also served one of my favorite coffee brands, Lavazza, which made me very happy. On top of that, they brought out some amazing appetizers, including fries, cheesy bread, and plantains. The only downside is that the restaurant does not allow you to take food to go. I was honestly bummed because this is one of those places where the food is so good that you want to take some home and enjoy it later.

When we arrived, we were helped by a very kind server named Vivi. She was attentive and even changed the channel so we could watch the baseball game we came for. When her shift ended, we closed our tab with her and waited to open a new one with Katie, who was starting her shift. Unfortunately, once Katie began her shift, the music and the television channels were changed, even though we were clearly there to watch the baseball game. In hindsight, that may have been a sign that the experience would not go well. It took approximately 23 minutes for her to come and take our order I asked for a michelada and a ginger ale. This was extremely disappointing service. I would understand a delay if the place had been busy, but as you can see, the establishment was fairly empty at the time. Because of this, there was no clear reason for such a long wait. Overall, this was the worst service we have experienced here, which was surprising given our previous positive visits. That said, I would also like to highlight one of the servers who consistently provides excellent service. If possible, I would recommend visiting Thursday through Sunday when Naidelyn is working. She is always attentive to customers, provides great service, and greets everyone with a smile.

The parking is easy in a small shopping center,, we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car to fit into a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so we chose outdoor seating, so we could dine in alfresco and the service was excellent. Both the main server and her assistant consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled. Service is very friendly and they basically had Spidey-sense for exactly when we needed refills. We ordered their chef special steak, which is an Argentinian grilled ribeye, but with an Italian sauce. We also ordered the shrimp, which is also a fusion of Argentinian and Italian. The flavor team-up was so good it felt like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together in the lab. For an appetizer, we got an empanada. This is one of the best empanadas we've had, as the crust was very airy and crispy, but not heavy and overly dense. Excellent texture and flavor,, honestly mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer tbh. Also, ordered Argentinian sausages. Excellent texture and bold flavor. It may not have a spicy kick as an Italian sausage, but quality meat and insides. Dr Strange would happily take us on a tour inside and out of this sausage with his yellow portal openers. Oh wait, we are the sausages, so guess he can't. Interestingly, enough, we didn't think that bread could be so excellent! We are big fans of French and Vietnamese style baguettes that are slightly crispy on the outside, but very light on the inside. The bread here was crispy on the outside, but also light and a little chewy on the inside, but in the best way possible. So it has its own flare and flavor. We asked, and they indeed bake this in-house, and you could definitely tell! They mentioned that they make their sandwiches with this baguette bread that is baked on premise and in-house, so we will definitely have to come back and try it again. That bread is basically the reality Infinity Stone of the menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent ambience!

We ordered the Parillada Mixta for two (comes with side choice of fries, roasted potatoes, salad, or sauteed vegetables and we chose vegetables), as well as the Risotto Don Juan de Marco. The parillada came with a substantial amount of meat kept warm on a grill, accompanied by a chimichurri. The short rib meat was a bit tough but still tasty. I felt like the risotto was good but not outstanding. We finished with a creme brulee for dessert and someone also ordered a coffee (cortadito). The meal was solid though came out to $150 after tax and tip.
