Amazing food and service ! We had the chicken croquettes as an appetizer which were also delicious. I had the classic Brazilian drink which was like a mojito but very strong (which I loved)! read more

I was told about this restaurant from a gentleman at Bass Pro shop. My wife ordered the Beef Hump with mashed potatoes, salad, and mixed vegetables. She absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. I ordered the Feijoada. This was incredible. Fresh, with rice, vegetables, orange slices, and fried pork bellies. They were all incredible. Next time I am here I would love to come back. We also ordered Bolihno de Mandioco. This was basically a fritter with cream cheese and beef in it. Our waiter was Dalison and he gave us incredible service. If you are in this part of the Orlando area, stop by it is incredible. read more

I have no idea where to start. First & foremost I am so glad I came here versus going to some chain restaurant nearby since this is historically a tourist trap area. Boteco Restaurant absolutely nailed it. Great vibe, and despite it being a quiet Tuesday night I got to really enjoy my meal. For my appetizer I got the Codfish Fritters and WOW, the flavor and portion size is perfect. It doesn't leave you full before your main meal. Speaking of the main meal, I had the Tuscan Sausage w/ Brazilian Rice, Fried Yuca & Chimichurri seasoning (made in house). The FLAVOR was absolutely more than I expected. Between the sausage, the rice, the Yuca and the seasoning I was lost in pure bliss. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS PLACE. Stray away from your usual go to establishment and come here. Boteco, I will be back. Thank you so much for your authenticity!!!! read more

Horrific experience. I hated every minute. Food took over an hour. It was bland dry and our rice had a mystery item in it. We asked two separate servers what it was and they bothe guessed. Dry and overcooked. read more

So I ended up with a voucher/coupon to eat here. I said why not coupon is going to expire. Immediately entering we were welcome and could sit anywhere we want. For the time we went it wasn't as busy but as the night went the crowd started to show up. My food was very good and flavorful. At night they have live music on the weekend. Would definitely hit this place up again. The only thing I didn't care for was the price of the churros. 13 bucks for what seemed to be one churro cut up in six pieces with dulce de leche. read more

The empanadas are very flavorful. We ordered beef and cheese empanadas and we ordered another order of cheese ones and shared. We also ordered fresh lemonades. Entrees were: steak for two...lots of flavor and it came with rice, beans, and we asked for side of steamed yucca. All delicious. Steak is on the thinner side...juicy though. If you are thinking a big fat steak...that isn't it. Know that before you order. But plenty of it to go around. Hamburger that my son had he said was juicy and delicious and the tilapia was fried crispy and the sauce over it was a good compliment. French fries were crispy and delicious! Nice ambiance...it was empty when we arrived around 8pm. Definitely worth a try with the family if in town! read more

Boteco Restaurant - Brazilian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Date Night Experience @Boteco R. It's tough to recommend a place these days. We asked many friends and no one ever sat. I dislike long rants- I try to be specific so others can choose for themselves. Some have the same experience- some do not. The cost is respectfully challenging today. So, it's important to understand other experiences. Here's the highs & lows of a dinner date. Entered @9pm. Nicely lit; nice area on I-drive by fun spot; music playing. No greeter; someone sat us down and gave us menus/ No questions asked. (1) There was no true greeting: no hello, is this your first time? My name is (waiter)? Do you have menu questions? Would you like a drink... took nearly 15 min to get a drink. The man walked us past a large ground to sit but "we squeezed awkwardly behind a man in a chair instead of going around the table properly..." truly unprofessional. Only 5 tables and plenty of space to walk around... (2) The prices for a skirt steak- I had larger steaks for that price. The rice came out HOT - nice! The fries came out hot! The empanadas- tasted great! The steak was corpse cold! So, the main part of the meal- that makes the meal, the meat- was cold. (3) They added gratuity. I would not give past 18% for the service. The place temperature was on and off with cool to warm. Food was B- bc of the steak, service C+. (4) If you have money to spend, it was chill with the music (did not recognize any songs but dude sang well). We just didn't feel that true "welcome to our Brazilian spot, please come again". It felt like "we got your tip included..." read more

The Picanha here is sooooo gooood! It was so much that we brought it to go as well. It was my first time trying stroganoff, it was good but it wasn't a favorite of mine. My Brazilian coworkers love stroganoff so I think it was just a me problem. They have a full bar here with Caiprinhas and other beverages. The service was really good, everyone was so kind and helpful. The food took quite some time to arrive but the picanha was worth the wait for sure. Great ambiance too! read more

Had a really stand out lunch here when I was on vacation. Low key profile with a giant projector screen (they were watching sports when I was there) and friendly servers, it's a chill and laid back kind of place. Admittedly I haven't had too much experience with Brazilian cuisine but every time I get a chance to try more I take it. Boteco was definitely another great foray into the land of cassava flour. I highly recommend the Escondidinho de Camaro appetizer -- a beautiful mix of mashed yucca, gooey cheese and shrimp with delicate and flavorful spice. For an appetizer it's incredibly rich but oh so amazing. Then I had the Shrimp Bobo for an entree, which wasn't too unsimilar but much less heavy and also succulent and delicious. Brazil is the original flavortown. Would absolutely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Good authentic food and ambience. Service was very good. I keep returning when I am in town they are consistent,

When I walked into the restaurants the ambiance was a very relaxing and calm setting. The server was very respectful and good at explaining items on the menu and very assuring.

Really good food and service. Loved the plantains! Order beef stroganoff and it was really good. Nice and comfortable inside.

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy lunch at Boteco with a relative from Brazil. She was excited to show me some Brazilian cuisine, and Boteco did not disappoint. We were seated in a booth with plenty of space to park a stroller at the end. Since my dining companion spoke Portuguese, we were served by Portuguese speaking staff, but there were also staff who spoke English. I started my meal with the beef jerky pasteis which were definitely a highlight. I also enjoyed a well made caipirinha. For my main, I had the sanduiche de picanha which was a nice mix of familiar and unique. It was very large, and I ended up eating the picanha with a fork since I couldn't finish the whole thing! I also had the opportunity to try the feijoada which was excellent, and I would definitely order it next time. I'd recommend Boteco for a casual Brazilian lunch, whether you are Brazilian yourself or just interested in trying a new cuisine! read more

Horrible dining experience! Waited 1hour for a steak and fries in which the meal was not properly cooked. I asked if the Chef could please cook my meat for additional time and was denied that simple request. Worst experience at a restaurant on Idrive. F+++ 0 stars You don't deserve to be on I-Drive. read more

The food is amazing! Every time I come here, I always eat well! The nights with music are great! Today we came is playing brazilian songs ! The picanha is great! We got the Escondidinho and it was also good! The other time I came and had the BBQ plate! It is a great choice ! And also the parmegiana ! The Passion Fruit Caiprinha was great! I love caipirinha ! There is free and lots of parking outside! Guilherme was out waiter and he was great!!! read more

We found this place by random and decided to give it a try after looking at their website. We arrived around 2pm. They handed us a dinner menu...when we asked if they had lunch, the server says they eat the same thing for lunch as dinner...great. Then he finally gave us the lunch menu. It's two different prices. If you are offering lunch, why not give people lunch menus... The steak was delicious and cooked to our liking. The 'lunch' portion was decent for us and just right. Compliments to the chef. It was such a cute, nicely decorated restaurant to serve water in plastic clear cups was weird. No refills were offered. read more

Boteco Restaurant - Top Sirloin with garlic rice and yucca fries - Brazilian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Dear Miss Server Lady (the one that is not to be named like Voldemort). You had a really pretty scorpion tattoo on your arm. Two arm sleeves? That's pretty Slytherin of you. Are you...a Death Eater. Or a Dementor? You sucked all the soul out of the food and service, so I refused to eat. My Ron Weasley guy remember? He doesn't have a soul, but I saw you were just 'soul'-ly focused on him and for reason pretended I was a 'Nearly Headless Nick' ghost and treated like I didn't exist. Do you discriminate against nearly headless people? To clarify things in muggle terms (yes, I am sarcastic), I didn't appreciate the fact that I received very poor service with said server due to her adamant refusal to recognize my average existence. She read the entire menu to him comprehensively (yes Ron Weasley, I know she's a fan, while I'm just a mere muggle) and literally treated me as a nonexistent entity. P.S. Sorry I was just at Universal Studios! Highly recommend Harry Potter World, five stars! read more

Way overpriced & food was average. I'm not wasting 85 characters describing further but do not go

I'm giving them a 1 star review only because I can't leave a 0. I was charged $17 plus a mandatory $3 and change for gratuity on a PICKUP order and received an unreasonable portion of food. I generally do not mind paying a higher price for better quality, but this is neither. When I complained about the portions, all they did was check with the chef and bring me back my order and go on their merry way. I wasn't offered a single thing to compensate or anything. AND I had to pay a mandatory gratuity for something that I went to pick up myself. I AM FLOORED. I will never recommend this place to a single person. I would rather go to the Pollo Tropical across the street and get the same quality and quantity of food for less than half the price. This is UNREAL. read more

estive com minha familia nesse restaurante e fomos atendidos da pior maneira possivel. Ao pedir os pratos das crianças pedimos para trocar a batata frita por pure de batata ou salada, qualquer coisa, pois as crianças nao comem fritas, e o garçom de forma ríspida disse que nao poderia trocar e era assim que a casa funcionava. Pensei em me retirar do local, mas como estavamos com fome e minha esposa gravida decidi ficar e finalizar. Ao pedir a conta, solicitei que retirassem a gorjeta, e um tal de atendente Marcelo disse que nao iria retirar, que eles sempre cobravam. Eu disse que não iria pagar, e que não há obrigatoriedade em pagar, e que não há lei que ampare o estabelecimento em obrigar o cliente a pagar, e que eu não iria pagar ainda mais ele falando de forma grosseira com todos nós. Ele simplesmente disse que era cultural e que era para eu pagar sim ou que eu nao voltasse nunca mais, um absurdo ! e uma atitude contra a lei ! Mantive minha posicao e nao paguei. Ele simplesmente pegou a conta e retirou a gorjeta e jogou a conta nova em cima da nossa mesa, e disse que numa proxima vez nao era para voltarmos mais pois nao eramos bem vindos. E realmente nao voltarei nunca mais, esse Boteco ja foi bom hoje o atendimento é pessimo por isso vive vazio e o movimento caiu bastante, tratar uma gravida e uma familia dessa maneira é um absurdo, esse Marcelo deveria aprender a respeitar os clientes e nao fazer esse tipo de coisa. hoje temos outras opcoes em Orlando bem melhores e principalmente que tratam bem os clientes e nao essa falta de respeito , vergonhoso ! tenho certeza que o dono do local nao compactua com esse tipo de situacao desses funcionarios sem escrupulos e nocao ! Visitei restaurantes em varias cidades dos EUA e do mundo e nunca vi nada igual. Ainda que fosse "cultural", o cultural nao está acima da lei, e se voce quer ganhar gorjeta deve fazer por onde e tratar bem seus clientes ! Estamos no spring break e temos mais de 30 familias de amigos em orlando que pedem indicacao constante de restaurantes e pode ter certeza que esse local pessimo nao iremos indicar para ninguem ! Aos donos do local: revejam esses pessimos funcionarios mal educados, ou irao afundar cada vez mais o seu restauranre ! I was at this restaurant with my family and we were treated in the worst possible way. We ordered for the children and asked to change the fries for mashed potatoes or salad, anything, because they don't eat fries, and the waiter said rudely that he couldn't exchange them and that was how the restaurant worked. I thought about leaving the place, but since we were hungry and my wife was pregnant, I decided to stay and finish. When I asked for the bill, I asked for the tip to be removed, and a waiter named Marcelo said that he wouldn't remove it, cause they always charged it. I said I wouldn't pay, there was no obligation to pay, and no law protects the establishment to forcing the customer to pay, especially since he spoke rudely to all of us. He simply said it was cultural and that I had to pay or I would never come back again, what a f*** ?! And it's against the law! He simply took the bill and removed the tip and threw the bill on our table, and said that next time we should not come back because we were not welcome. And I really will never go back again, never ! This bar was good someday, today the service is terrible, that's why it is always empty and the business has dropped a lot. Treating a pregnant woman and a family this way is absurd. This Marcelo should learn to respect customers and not do this kind of thing. Today we have other options in Orlando that are much better and mainly treat customers well and not this lack of respect, shameful! I am sure that the owner of the place does not agree this type of situation from these unscrupulous and clueless employees! I have visited restaurants in several cities in the US and around the world and I have never seen anything like it. Even if it was "cultural", cultural is not above the law, and if you want to earn a tip you have to do what you can and treat your customers well! We are on spring break and we have more than 30 families of friends in Orlando who are constantly asking for restaurant recommendations and you can be sure that we will not recommend this terrible place to anyone! To the owners of the place: get rid of these terrible and rude employees, or they will keep making your restaurant worse and worse! read more

If you're looking for a traditional Brazilian restaurant that's the place. You can order the famous picanha in most of the plates. Good customer service. They have live Brazilian music on Sundays. The reason for my 4 stars is because they include the tip on the bill, not as an option. That's a no. What if you're not satisfied with the service? We are in the USA not Brazil. read more

Great restaurant to chill and grab Brazilian food in Orlando. Located no too far from Universal Studios in an area where there are lots of Brazilian establishments. But this Boteco particularly caught my attention. The food was fresh, made to order and deliciously made. Their lunch specials and drinks were reasonably priced and the staff was great. My server offered prompt service and a delicious caipirinha. This time I tried the shrimp empanadas and chicken stroganoff. They were equally amazing. Will go back to try more delicacies. read more

I've been going to Boteco for years. I drive all the way to Tampa and just about every time I try to visit Boteco. I used to say they made the best caipirinhas and the food was amazing. I don't know what happened in the last year. The place just went downhill. I visited last weekend and OMG, that was probably the last time. My server never even paid attention to us, his girlfriend or wife or whoever she was, was sitting at the table in the middle of the restaurant and this man just kept going there and kissing her.like, you're working have some respect for people that are there paying for a service. - I ordered my drink (caipirinha) and a water. He never brought me a water. I asked a second time in the middle of dinner and he still never brought it. - I ordered my steak strips done medium, and my dates steak well done. It came wrong, mine was well done and his was medium. - when he brought us the food, there wasn't even silverware on the table. He left the food there and we had to ask for silverware....by the time he brought us the silverware our food was cold. - I asked for lime, never brought it. I had to ask a second time. - while all of that was happening he was still just watching some soccer game on tv and making out with this girl. Super unprofessional. - even the caipirinhas weren't good like they normally are. Maybe they don't use velho barreiro anymore, I don't know, but mine came with a piece of mint of top of it and if you know anything about caipirinhas....thats a no. - worst service I've ever had there, and one of the worst I've had in any restaurant - to top if off. I got an appetizer as a meal ($30), $30 for an appetizer? My date got a meal with steak. Rice beans, $45 if I'm not wrong. 2 beers and 2 caipirinhas for a total of $150. $150 for bar like food, with all of it cooked wrong, awful service. I could've went to the best rodízio restaurant in Tampa, left extremely full and paid less money for 2 people. What is happening with the world? Needless to say, don't go there. It was my last time. read more
