We came here during the day, ate indoors, and had great service. It was nice and cool inside, which was perfect on such a hot day. I highly recommend the saqueroska with passion fruit. My son said the picanha burger was the best burger he has ever had. The salgados platter is a must. Those bolinhos are to die for, and it is the best appetizer if you want a little variety and a good taste of what they offer. The cheese and beef pasteis were also delicious. All of the sauces are good, but the green sauce is on another level. We have been coming here for 17 years, and it is so nice to see this place continue to thrive. Very well deserved. read more

Came to Boteco to watch the Brazil vs. Japan FIFA match. First, the positives: the service staff was friendly, attentive, and did their best. The food was good, and while it took a little longer than usual to arrive, that's understandable considering how busy the restaurant was during the game. Unfortunately, management dropped the ball in several areas. For a major soccer match, basic preparation should have been a priority. The outdoor area was extremely hot, despite having fans installed. The problem? Many of the fans weren't working because there weren't enough electrical outlets available. This should have been tested and resolved before customers arrived. To make matters worse, the restaurant was using some of the cheapest plastic forks and knives imaginable. If you're charging restaurant prices, at least provide utensils that can actually handle the food. A quick trip to Dollar Tree would have solved that problem. The staff worked hard and the food was enjoyable, but management failed to properly prepare for a high-attendance event. That's disappointing because the issues were entirely preventable. Boteco has great potential, but management needs to do a much better job planning and executing on game days. read more

Boteco - Kiddie utensils - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Fun place to hang out with friends! It's easy on the weekdays for dinner. On the weekends it truly lights up with music and game! The food is delicious. I prefer having all the appetizers and mixed plates. The cheese is the bomb. Cheese empanada, cheese skewer...it's fried, cubed and comes unskewered, with a side of honey... it's important over here. Our server Stephanie was helpful and fantastic. read more

Boteco - Bar area - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Got it Here's This place is not the same anymore. It's under new management, and you can really feel the difference -- not in a good way. The owner/manager was sitting casually at the bar next to me, acting like a drill sergeant. I ordered a limonada suíça and they didn't even have condensed milk or enough lime. Still, it cost about $9. Way overpriced. The pão de queijo wasn't fresh either -- it came out in just one minute, clearly not baked to order. Very disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Such a shame, because it used to be really good. read more

Amazing atmosphere and attentive service. Food is amazing and staff will make you feel at home

Boteco is as authentic as it gets when it comes to Brazilian food and culture. From the moment you walk in, you feel that genuine Brazilian vibe -- warm, lively, and full of flavor. The picanha is always a highlight: perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right, exactly how it's meant to be enjoyed in Brazil. Every dish feels traditional and made with love. And of course, the caipirinhas are a must. Fresh, delicious, and incredibly well made -- and even better when they're prepared by Yuni, quite possibly the fastest bartender on earth. Watching Yuni work is impressive, and the drinks come out perfectly every single time. If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian restaurant with amazing food, top-tier drinks, and an energetic atmosphere, Boteco is the place. I'll keep coming back without a doubt! read more

For a fun time dancing and laughing in Brazilian style and listen to live music then this would be the place to come. The food is like every day home style and good and not fancy but great vibes this place does have. Must try the coxinha de frango for they are delicious. And even if you sit inside and dine, you can join the party group outside and dance to the rhythm of the drums. The staff is very friendly. read more

Looking for dinner late on a Monday and this spot was open, so we decided to check it out! Was pleasantly surprised by the food and portions, our salads were incredible. The vibe was super casual, and very enjoyable! Outdoor seating that is covered, and we were able to bring our dog. Our service was quick, there is a 20% gratuity included. Free parking, but it was a weeknight. read more

Boteco - Frango Acebolado - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Another spot near me that has taken over 4 years for me to finally try. I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for some drinks and light bites. The only parking was $7 valet. It was super lively inside. Loud music was playing. Soccer was on the tv. There was an interesting mix of single guys there just hanging out and families there for the feijoada buffet. We sat at the bar. The bartender working was very friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were very good. If you're looking for a light snack, I recommend the meat skewers and garlic French fries. I'd like to return soon to try the feijoada buffet, and will update my review when I do. read more

Friendly staff, restaurant's parking $10 . The food is mediocre, the picana was though . They charge an automatic 20% tip and 8% tax on top. Not budget friendly. Like many restaurants in Miam, they to get rich with one (1) customer. read more

Such a fun place! We were looking for food at 11pm on a Saturday night and found this place which delivered on food and music! While we didnt understand the music (all in Portuguese) we still had a ton of fun watching the singer bounce around the bar dancing with the crowd. The coxinhas were a lot smaller than I am used to, but they were very tasty. Apparently the oven for the pão de queijo was not working that day so I unfortunately did not get to try this :( and went with the bolinhas de bacalao instead. It was pretty fishy and wont be my first choice next time. The chicken skewers were so flavorful and juicy with the onion and green peppers complimenting the chicken. The rest of the table's entrees were very seasoned, sometimes being a bit too salty. I would be willing to go back to try more of the menu. P.s. music was very loud so if you don't enjoy that sort of stuff, you can always sit inside. It was pretty mild in there :) read more

Boteco - Steak thingy - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Extremely nice ambiance and amazing server Giovanni. Thank you for everything. Food was also great.

This is a nice Brazilian spot. There's only valet parking available but they accept both cash and credit cards. Once you're in you can seat yourself. I prefer their outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and the food is good. They've had a live DJ both times I've come in. They also have a pool table. It's a very nice atmosphere. Here's what I've ordered: Pbolindho do boteco (Yuca and cheese croquette) - Comes with three. Good and cheesy but small. 3/5 ($4.95) Bolinho de bacalhau (Fried codfish croquette) - Comes with three. Also good but even smaller. Would most likely not order these again. 3/5 ($4.95) Picanha fatiada na chapa (13 oz grilled sirloin steak) - This was GOOD! Nice size and quality. Really well seasoned and has a lot of flavor. I like that it comes on a sizzling skillet. It comes with your option of two sides. 5/5 ($24.95) Beef Stroganoff - Sautéed beef served in a sauce, has mushrooms and a few olives. I had tried some of my friend's the first time and it tasted great. Unfortunately on my second visit it was dried out and tasted nowhere near as good. First time 5/5 second time 1/5 ($14.95) For sides, the feijao tropeiro (Traditional beans with yucca flour, fried sausage and eggs) is delicious. Their fries are also really good and I think I tried their fried mashed potatoes before which were also great. This last time I came a few things went wrong. My entree came out pretty late and it was scorching hot, it was probably forgotten under the heating lamp. My friend's entree didn't come out either, the server forgot to put the order in. I think those are two big annoyances that would warrant the staff to alert the manager to swing by the table and check in. Perhaps offer a discount or dessert on the house, but nothing. We just sat there and waited for the second entree and I ate my dried out stroganoff. If it weren't for this experience, I'd have rated them between a 4 and 5. I think this place has a lot of potential but customer service is extremely important. If something goes wrong, I believe it should always be made right. If you're in the area and are considering coming here you should do it, they're worth the try. I don't live close to here so coming back would require me going out of my way. Unfortunately, after my last visit, I don't foresee myself returning. read more

Come on, the food was good, I just thought the meat could have been seasoned better, but other than that it was very good. The attendant is super friendly and helpful Now the environment left a lot to be desired, people smoking inside the establishment where others are eating? I had never seen this before If you tell them it's not appropriate to take children to lunch I don't think it's ethical or even clean and I also think that estalencioaneto should improve the quality of the space the sound is extremely loud I've been to better places As a Brazilian I won't go back and I also don't recommend it Better management is needed! on many points definitely I wouldn't go with family and children in a completely closed environment where there are people smoking indignant read more

Rustic Brazilian restaurant/bar, second time we visit, we like the picanha beef they use. This time we were there for the X-Burger, nice thick burger, the garlic french fries add extra taste. We had shredded beef and codfish croquttes as appertizers...both YUMMY! I wish I was more daring and try the typical Brazilian food (next time). We went early on a Saturday evening and could tell it was going to get really busy and LOUD, as a band was setting up a few feet from us. Service was good, but servers tended to stand around talking to each other a lot, I hate when I have to call servers over. We had the 2 appertizers, 3 X-burger meals, 2 beers..total came to $92, including the 20% tip they automatically included. They have onsite $10 valet parkin. Overall good experience. read more

The food was amazing & very authentic but a little pricey. The service was kinda slow but I feel I came at a time it wasn't as busy & more servers showed up as I was leaving. As I said it was definitely overpriced for what I was given. The inside was pretty plain. I would expect more culture shown through decorations since it is very authentic. Also they don't let you swap sides. read more

Boteco - Always a pleasure. Thanks for the memories. This is a gem of place in North Miami. I always miss it when I'm not here. - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is a very nice Brazilian spot. Casual atmosphere with indoor and patio seating. Full bar service that includes the famous Brazilian Caipirinha. Small menu, but everything they make is very well done. Also, they offer the traditional "Feijoada" on saturdays. This is what I had on my last visit, and it was excellent. The name of this meal comes from the name for "beans" in Portuguese... feijão. It is a feast for the senses, if you eat red meat. The beans are the black type and are cooked with lots of different spices which makes them super tasty. The buffet is served in clay pots and it includes sausages, ribs, dry meat, pork loin, white rice, plantains, fried pork, black bean soup. In addition to the meats and beans, the buffet includes ingredients to make your own salad. Their regular menu includes different types of meats, but also has some fish options like Mahi Mahi. It is a casual place with great service and fun atmosphere. They also have a few large screens to watch sports, or like this weekend, they were showing carnival festivities directly from Brazil. read more

We were invited to the free salsa night on Sunday. First parking was hard to find, we weren't sure about the neighborhood and they charge valet parking for $7. We walked in and this waitress chewing gum with her mouth open , never in my life that I have been served by someone chewing gum. Honestly, what the f*ck hahahaha We ate before we came and we just wanted to dance so we had water. I mean we could order something but they don't have anything Vegan. The waitress can't even guaranteed that it's vegan and we ain't going to just eat beans & rice. On the menu it said water $2 . When we got the bill $5 per water because " salsa" night. Yooooo that's steep and without any warning and the gratuity is included? Good thing the salsa class was fun. Otherwise, we ain't going to have it. read more

Boteco - Beef stroganoff and conxinha de frango!!! Soooo good!! - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Vergonha! Not surprised to see the low rating and all the complaints here. As a Brazilian, I'm embarrassed to have this represent us in Miami - a greedy, low-rent spot. I took a group to watch a Brazil match in the Copa America and got attitude and rudeness from the get go; they simply couldn't handle the amount of reservations they took up. Then we saw the rudeness came straight from the top: with 15 minutes left in the game, we got kicked out of our table by the manager herself, who was desperate to extract more money from other people when she realized nobody told us there was a minimum consumption (we spent plenty anyway), since it was booked through opentable. Imagine booking a table in advance, spending hundreds of dollars - and getting kicked out at the climax of the event. read more

I had high hopes for this place but I must say that our entire party was quite let down with the food and the service. Pros: The bolinhos de bacalau were very tasty and the mayonnaise that they included with this appetizer were great. The pitcher of caipirinha we ordered was GREAT too, they were not stingy with the alcohol. Cons: The service was terrible, we ordered our entrees and they bought out one of the entrees and the remaining three entrees arrived almost 20 minutes later. The person that got their entree first wound up eating ice-cold skewers of beef and chicken. There was almost no follow-up from the server nor did she bother to tell us why there was such a delay. I understand if the restaurant is rocking and rolling but it was pretty empty. The food was disappointing and quite expensive considering the poor quality. I ordered a picanha burger cooked medium but it came out very well done. My wife ordered the palomilla and it tasted quite bland. This is supposed to be a Brazilian establishment yet none of the workers were Brazilian from what we could tell. Not that this matters but we felt it was quite unusual. They use valet parking - I do not have an issue with valet parking but the place was literally empty except for a few folks sitting at the bar. Not sure why they charge $7.00 for the valet parking when both the restaurant and the parking lot were empty. This will be my first and last time visiting this place. There are a lot of other options out there offering better service, reasonable prices, and way better attention to servicing and taking care of the clients. The fact that the 20% tip is automatically added to the check speaks volumes. We were a party of four with a child and they tacked on 20% automatically? read more

Great flavors, but too much salt on everything we ordered. Service is really bad since 20% service charge is included and if you pay with credit card there is a 3% surcharge. In other words we left 23% tip for bad service and raised my blood pressure with all the salt I ate read more
