I used to live in Brazil and this is the best Brazilian restaurant I've been to in America. The food was fresh, mouth watering, very close to what I had in Brazil. Caipirinhas were the best I've had in America. I ate pão de queijo, the yuca appetizer, picanha, fries, rice and beans, sweet plantains, and vinaigrette. You won't be disappointed! I'm so sad this place is so far away from my home. For 4 happy hour drinks, 2 appetizers, and two picanha dinners, we spent $75. Always tip atleast 20%. read more

Came looking for a different type of Brazilian experience outside of your steakhouses. This place had authentic food, drinks, and music. Server did not rush is and actually stopped us from ordering our entree until we were half way done with appetizers as we would have ordered too much. Highly recommended place! read more

I like the place, but what's up with playing Spanish music versus Brazilian music, which is very different? People come to this place to try Brazilian food and ambience, and yes to listen to authentic Brazilian music. PLEASE differentiate yourselves and be unique. If I wanted to listen to Spanish music I'd have gone to the milion of establishments in Miami with the same Spanish music. BE DIFFERENT, BE UNIQUE. Brazilian music is beautiful! read more

The food here was excellent. I had the bife grelhado (grilled steak) and the portion size was more than enough. I also had a caipirinha which was delicious. Needless to say, I will definitely be returning! read more

Service was fast and good the chicken croquettes were sooooo yummy. I would recommend!!!

Food was decent, but service was horrible. Waiter was unresponsive. we waited forever to order and to get our food. We sat for a good 20 min after we were done eating before anyone came by to give us our check. They also forced a 15% gratitude for a table of two. Will not go back to that place. read more

First time at a Brazilian restaurant. The caipirinha was delicious! The cheese bread is awesome, as was the Boteco steak and eggs. Highly recommend!! read more

Fine find! The Brazilian food was sooooo good! The steak was so tasty and the special sauce was perfect. The shrimp was a good size, plantains were delicious and the yucca was yummy. Great service and the atmosphere was comfortable. So happy we found this place!!! read more

Stopped to Boteca for lunch after shopping at the outlets and before catching our flight. What a great find! The codfish empanadas were a little salty but still delicious. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my husband had the beef gratin both were fantastic. We will be back if we get back to Orlando soon. read more

I asked for medium but it was fully cooked... but it's close to outlet

Chicken dry and lunch special steak not quality meat. Almost all gristle and a few good bites at best. Service was good food not so much. Won't eat here again. read more

Impressed. And to think that I had drove around this place and not eat here before. What a mistake. This place is very good. And I was scared because of the other reviews about the bad attention. I went this past Sunday and only saw great waiters working and it was full and did not had to wait much for my food. I recommend the skirt steak and the gratin steak I believe it was called. Wow, very tasty, a little salty at the very bottom, but almost perfect and the cheese bread and the passion fruit mousse mmmm. I'll be back. read more

We were close to this place and decided to try it based on the Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed, except we had to wait a long time for our food. We were a big party but the restaurant was not full. The food was excellent but not sure about Brazilian, its more of a steak restaurant. We ordered the special of the day on other meals and they were all great! Meats were cooked great except for a couple. We would recommend it but just be prepared to wait because it seems service is very slow, although, I understand we were a party of 11. read more

We were here on St. Patty's day so the place was dead but I doubt it usually is with how fabulous the food and service was. Our server, Lucas was very knowledgable about the menu and suggested cod cakes as a starter which were amazing. They were Yucca and cod fish fried and the flavor was perfect for a starter. He also suggested the top sirloin, which was TWO steaks and he also suggested the farofa with vinaigrette and rice and beans. It was phenomenal. The steaks were tender and juicy and the farofa with vinaigrette made the beans the most delicious beans I have ever tasted. I also got grilled vegetables which were cooked well but they had a vinegar flavor so it wasn't my favorite but they were still really good! My date got the breaded beef and that was also very tasty. There wasn't a bite left on either of our plates and not because the portions were small! We just couldn't stop eating it! The drinks I cannot spell or pronounce but they were amazing. The first one was strawberries and vodka and the other was passion fruit and curacha (sp?). They were just strong enough and the flavors mixed perfectly. read more

Visited 1/2/2015: Good ribeye steak, cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the fried plantains. My wife was surprised by the beef stroganoff on the menu--Brazilian? It was very good. The manager was very accommodating for our party of 11. Only complaint was that their online reservation system was down so we didn't know whether our reservation had been made/accepted until we had to call. Nice casual atmosphere for our reunion with old friends and our families. Easy location and plenty of parking available. We all agreed that we'd return here on our next visit to Orlando. read more

Great food. Lovely service. Sat at the bar to watch a football game. Drinks were outstanding, especially Brazilian rum! Loved fried yucca. Steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Variety of menu items and traditional selections - perfect for the whole family. Clean, friendly, great music, easy parking! read more

From the outside this place looks not to great, but the food is amazing. I got the Filet and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Very affordable and delicious is my kind of place! read more

The whole family stopped by here on a chance. Boy are we glad we did. The appetizers are all spot on. The wife had the grilled beef and I had the top sirloin. Both were fantastic. The fried yucca was light and tasty. The service was fantastic. I highly recommend. read more

Went there last night. Our group of four had two orders of pao de quiejo, with six per basket, we needed two orders. The coating was a bit different from what I had seen in other Brazilian places, more of a deep fried outside, but tasty nonetheless. We had the beef with yuca purree and the grilled beef, both of which were tasty. One of my dining companions loved the cairapinhas. Service was attentive. If you are looking for a more budget priced option for Brazilian food while visiting the Universal area, this is a good choice. read more

Great service,great food... Skirt steak was amazing... Fish cakes were good as well...

I've been to quite a few authentic Brazilian restaurants, but this is by far one of the very best! We highly recommend the cheese bread & sauce, & my steak & eggs were perfect!! The empanadas were fantastic - and definitely try the Bananas Foster! Incredible! Ask for Sergio!! read more

Great steaks and awesome food. I've eaten here 3 times and very good every time. My wife never had Brazilian food and she loved it. Look forward to coming back soon. read more

Boteco Restaurant - In Orlando what I am eating for lunch ... a little taste from Brazil Steaks :) - Brazilian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great food. I highly recomend. Great service ,Marcela was very helpful . One of the best Brazilian restaurants I ate in U.s

Dinner was amazing!!! We especially loved the ribeye steak & mashed potatoes! Our waitress, Danila, provided excellent service! I also enjoyed the house Pinot Noir. Would return in a heartbeat!!! read more

Tasty Rib Eye and New York Steaks, cooked to perfection. Great service! Plan on going there again.

Very impressed with this restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Plantains, empanadas, steak, shrimp skewers, and the black beans were fantastic. read more

5 stars for customer service .waiter was very nice and welcoming. I ordered the picahna .very tender but bland. The fried yuca was delicious . I may return again to try a different steak. read more

Wow, this was a great restaurant if you're looking for excellent food without overpaying for ambiance. The flaming chorizo appetizer was delicious. At our table we had Brazilian sausage, shrimp gratin, chicken empanadas and steak and eggs. All were tasty and good value. The staff was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable for a gluten allergy. I definitely recommend this for a great meal. $100 for 4 people with a bottle of wine and desserts. read more

Delicious! Ate here twice in a week while in Orlando. The service and the food were quite good, and the restaurant was very clean. Was the only non Portuguese speaker the first time I was there, so it's nice to know Brazilians themselves frequent the place. read more

Great food! You can taste the chef's passion for cooking and the service is great. Affordable price

I'll never order or eat in this place again. Used to be really good, it's not anymore. Tonight we ordered Uber eats two Picanhas steaks and one grilled chicken. We ordered the Picanha medium well they sent well done, it was practically burned, so hard to eat it was disgusting. And usually is two BIG slices of picanha (well they charge almost $20 for it) it was two extremely small pieces. Terrible, we didn't eat. The grilled chicken used to be two pieces of chicken, with a choice of rice and beans, fries or salad. I know for a fact you can substitute the sides with an extra charge, so I asked if they could substitute the fries for a side of mashed potato. We got ONE piece of thick and burned chicken, with ONE side of mashed potatoes. No rice or beans! It is extremely frustrating to order dinner and wait to get such bad food. It used to be a very good place to eat, not anymore. The prices are the same and the quality of the food is terrible. Wasted my money and my time. Will never eat there or order food from there again. I don't recommend this place. read more

Sorry to said this but it was an awful service from the waiter Lucas, my sister is on vacation so I wanted to take her to a nice place and different. We got there and after we order everything started going down the hill. First the appetizer Chicken croquettes, he brought them without the sauce that is part of it according to the menu. I had to asked him for the sauce and he never brought the sauce and the restaurant was not busy just 4 tables with customers and there was 2 waiters. After the main dish came my order should had beans and Farofa well he didn't bring the beans until I had to ask the other waiter for the beans and water which Lucas forgot to ask if we need water or something else oh and the Farofa don't ask me because I never knew what it looks like or taste like he also "forgot" to included in the meal. By this time I was really upset finish half of what I ordered, and to end my "wonderful" night he brought me the check with 3 desserts that I never ordered, I waited until he decided to look at my table and he said it was a mistake that was the order of other table, I didn't know they ordered exactly the same as we ordered plus 3 desserts.( yeah right) so no I didn't leave any TIP. But I let him know why because the tip is to get a good service not to be ignored the whole time and bring the food without half of what it suppose to be served with. I have never been treated like that in any place and I'm the person who always leave more than the 15% of the Tip. But this was an insult. And to finish this he saw the bill and yelled "pillo" in English is Thief and follow me outside and started do like reverence movement saying thank you. I didn't want to pay attention and just got in the car and left. What a great night for my sister. Never go back to that place while Lucas keep working there. Very rude. read more

This place was fantastic! It was so very hard to find and we almost gave up driving around in circles as for some reason we didn't notice the sign and we thought it was a free standing restaurant, not in a strip mall. The place isn't fancy inside but it's nice and clean and the bar looks cool. I don't eat a lot of meat so I ordered the salmon and it was amazing. My boyfriend ordered the steak with eggs on top which he thought was pretty good. I ordered the traditional lime caipirinha cocktail which I highly recommend. It is much like a mojito. I also got the Brazilian cream for dessert which is a cross between a chocolate ganache and a chocolate mousse. I still crave it! Our waiter was so nice and he explained everything to us. He had a wonderful accent and helped me to say : Obrigado (thank you in Brazilian). This place is authentic and wonderful. If I ever go back to Orlando/Kissimee/Walt Disney World, I will eat here again. read more

We've dined at Boteco about four times since moving to Orlando in the Fall of 2015. In general, the place is great - good bar, excellent Brazilian fare and great desserts. We are big fans of the pasteis (empanadas), the fritas de mandioca (yuca fries), and the picanha. We mostly come in at the end of the night (they close at 10:45), order a tableful of petiscos (appetizers) and have received prompt and attentive service, even after 10:30, in English and in Portuguese. I would award Boteco five stars were it not for my last visit there - at 2:00 PM on what must've been a "bad day". It was raining out. Waitstaff was scarce. Service was slow (10 minutes to get a waiter's attention and an additional 20 to be served). To top things off, they substituted Devassa beer with Itapaiva (both Brazilian, both decent, but I really wanted Devassa). But the food was still good, so I'll be back, just after dark. read more

My Family and I went there for Mothers Day Dinner , six of us , We had 3 Groupons I called first to make sure that they would Honor the Groupons first before we left and the Manager said no problem so we made a reservation and showed up an hour later The place was full and we thought we would have to sit at 3 different tables with the groupons but the manger was so Very Kind he let us sit together , We order 3 Apps , Calamari,Chicken wings were great and Cod fish cakes were just OK "Not enough fish in the cakes for me" the Manager / Our Waiter heard us talking about the cakes and offer us another App for Free so we couldn't make up our minds and told him to Surprise us and He did with Crock of shredded beef with mash potatoes on top . It was the Winner of the App. 5 of us got the Filet and 1 got the Salmon they were all Good and you know the Service was Excellent ... If you plan on going there with more than one groupon ,I would call first , They are a Very Nice Restaurant and more than Likely will Accommodate ... read more

Great food and customer service, nice chill spot to check out. The drinks could be a little bigger though, but still good.

I tried this out with a group of ladies from my Portuguese class and we were all impressed with the delicious food and attentive service. The caipirinhas were great and the menu offered a variety of Brazilian foods representative of a few of the regional differences of Brazil. The pricing is modest and the meals come in decent sized portions. I highly recommend Boteco! read more

My boyfriend and I are on vacation and in an interest of saving money we decided to buy a Groupon to this place. I was a little nervous when I walked in as it was empty but the food was amazing. We both ordered New York Strip steak and it was cooked perfectly. The Marsala mushrooms and onions is a must add. You didn't need any steak sauce! If I had any complaints it was that it was too much food and we couldn't take the leftovers with us because we are out of town! read more

The food was great. Service was good. I will definitely be back. The caipirinhas were delicious and the bolinho de bacalhao were amazing
