    Picanha lomo saltado
    Anmol R.

    I have been to the Brazuca food truck countless times. I love Brazilian BBQ so I had to try this spot and I have been hooked since the first time. I usually get the picanha lomo saltado. Their picanha is always juicy and tender with the right amount of fat. The fries are well cooked and i love the addition of the tangy biquinho peppers. This time I also got the quesadilla which was bomb. It's surprisingly not heavy and the Catupiry (Brazilian cheese spread) is so cheesy and yummy, a bit like cream cheese. Highly recommend this spot!

    I lived in this neighborhood for a while and only tried it today. The Picanha steak + rice was very tasty. The meat was flavorful and not dry. There was a type of tiny tomato that they put in it that was tangy. I love it and will come back.

    Bowlzuca with garlic chicken Taco combo (veggies + picanha)

    Brazuca Grill is my obvious answer to lunch when I'm in the Dogpatch neighborhood on a weekday. - Bowlzuca: So much variety in a single bowl! From beans to an egg (fried to your preference) to your protein of choice, you won't get bored eating this. The garlic chicken was soft, tender, and flavorful and the accompanying salsa really brought it all together. - Taco combo: $4 extra for yucca fries, but don't underestimate them! They're sizable, delicious, and gone too soon. I think the veggie taco comes with some kind of black bean mix, but the steak taco was my standout, especially when dipped in the cream sauce. The food truck is located on 22nd and Indiana, which is near Woods Yard Park, a great place to peacefully enjoy your lunch!

    Brazilian fried rice

    I got the fried rice and I wasn't expecting the food to be as delicious as it was to be honest. The meat was super tender and juicy and the salsa on top really balanced out the heaviness of the fried rice and cheese. The flavors went so well together and I devoured my food wishing that I had more just because it tasted so good. I ordered beforehand and it only took 15 minutes to be prepared and be ready for me to pick up and the food was still warm. I will definitely be coming back here to try the other items on the menu.

    A Brazilian food truck that has some fusion options like tacos, burritos, quesadillas and fried rice. They also have bowls which seem more traditionally Brazilian. I really liked the chef's specialty of Brazilian Fried Rice, which I never had before. Picanha Bowlzuca: Reminded me a little of lomo saltado, except without the fries. Big cuts of tasty sirloin with red onions and tomato chunks in a nice sauce. Also, there were some not-that-spicy little pickled peppers too. Really great taste. Not a huge portion though, so you'll probably end just eating rice, beans and fried egg in your last few bites. Brazilian Fried Rice: Basically everything thrown into fried rice then wrapped in a melted cheese shell. The crispy browned cheese was a big differentiator compared to normal fried rice. Lots of different meats and a bunch of black beans. And some nice sauces on top. Think I liked this mishmash here more than the bowlzuca, which had everything separated.

    Wowww... soooo yummy. I thought this meal was good. I ordered tacos! I think the mixture and combination of flavors make for a memorable meal. Will definitely be ordering again. The truck sits right next to my apartment building and I smell the food each time I walk past with my dog. I finally ordered and wasn't disappointed. I think I'd need to try it a few more times. Although it was delicious, I feel as though I may have a few other favorites in the city. But that won't stop me from ordering again sometime.

    Brazilian Fried Rice (cheese bun was an add on)
    Ajay K.

    Brazuca's truck caught our eye during the craft fair at Pier 70 this weekend. We got the quesadilla, a cheese bun, and the Brazilian fried rice. The quesadilla was perfectly cooked and flavorful. There was nothing that was especially Brazilian about this quesadilla but we didn't really mind since it was so good - it was something you'd expect at a top notch Mexican place. The fried rice (pictured) was being marketed as an especially Brazilian dish - it was $17 and has good portion size. We couldn't finish it one sitting and took it home. In terms of flavor, we appreciated the fried cheese on top of the rice but the mixture of meat (beef, pork, AND chicken) was a bit too overwhelming for us. Maybe we should have just asked for one meat and not the default mix. Overall a good experience and the staff on the truck were very friendly!

    Pulled pork burger with an egg $13.00.  I'll do w/o the egg next time.
    Shaun R.

    Be expecting loads of awesome flavors from anything off their menu. The food is always cooked to your likings and never UNDERCOOKED! Most people that are not hip to well seasoned food will always talk down about any restaurant they encounter. But you won't have to worry about that here. My coworkers and I have never gotten sick or had any loose bowls after stuffing our faces with anything off the menu from their truck. The customer service is tip too. They treat all and new customers as family. The line to wait is just minutes and we'll worth it. The bad part is that you'll want to keep coming back for more. HANG OVER??? This family knows the cure to that issue. The pulled pork is to die for!!!

I think Cafe de Casa also used to make them, but I haven't been in a couple of years. The Brazilian Spot offers açaí bowls, baked goods, and juices on the menu, as well has a small, hot buffet-style section where I think you pay by weight. There's also shelves of imported, Brazilian grocery items on the left wall, which is pretty cool if you're looking for more specialized goods that aren't typically available in your regular grocery store. There's a handful of tables and chairs, but not a lot of seating otherwise. The pão de queijo was still warm in the bag when we picked them up. Their version was too salty and dense for my taste; the pão de queijo of my memories from that spot on Balboa Ave was bouncier and airier than The Brazilian Spot's (they also had fun flavors like guava). If I *really* get a hankering for pão de queijo again, I might come back, but otherwise, the search continues.

I would recommend requesting for one of their tables instead. The restaurant has very dim lighting, but you can still appreciate the beautiful interior/decor. The servers are extremely nice and gave great descriptions + recommendations. We ordered the ceviche de pescado, artichoke, pulpo, croquetas, roasted cauliflower, yuca fries, Ojo de bife - ribeye steak, Bife con papas, and gaucho. The ceviche was everyone's favorite appetizer, with fried corn was unique and balanced out the acidity of the ceviche. The yuca fries and cauliflower were basic dishes that I wouldn't order again for the price. The artichoke was a bit of a disappointment as it was more difficult to eat than expected. The char on the artichoke was a bit too overpowering as well. The main dishes were great! All the beef was done to perfection and melted in your mouth. The fries that come with the bife con papas were extremely flavorful and had a good crisp that made it very addicting. For dessert, we ordered the churros, apples crostata, and chocolate cake. The churros themselves were average, but the side caramel and chocolate sauces were surprisingly not overly sweet. The chocolate cake was decadent and moist -- would recommend if you like a dense cake. The apples crostata had great flavor from the apples and the sweetness from the apples were nice with the ice cream on top. Personally, I would just get the chocolate cake again.

The dishes were between $15 - $20, and the kabob plates allowed you to select two sides from 3 selections (yucca flour, yucca stew, and beans). I've had yucca, but not in flour or stew form. I thought the stew would be a soup, but it was a steamed piece of yucca, which was not bad. I learned what it was after ordering it. Also, yucca flour is literal flour that is in a small ramekin that you would sprinkle on all your other food items. I am pointing this out to anyone who is a first-timer at a Brazilian restaurant. I experienced, got schooled, and passing the knowledge to you. As the previous reviewer said, the pot of chili in oil on the table is fire, so eat in moderation. It has fantastic flavor but is very, very spicy. All the dishes were unique and tasty except for the beef kabob, which was overcooked steak on a stick.

Matt had been talking about Brazilian steakhouse every time he saw something that reminded him remotely of Fogo de Chao, so I figured this opportunity might be of interest to him. Come to find out that the day after I make the reservation he asks if I'd be willing to go a Brazilian steakhouse for the long weekend, so I got to surprise him with the fact that I already had a reservation. I'm not the biggest fan of Fogo de Chao based on my prior experiences there. I do believe that I have been to a Show de Carnes location before and had another great experience, but also Show de Carnes's Memorial Day promotion was slightly better than Fogo's and I much preferred that their location was outside of the city even if on the other side of the bridge. I did have to call the morning of to delay our reservation slightly, but it was taken care of for us without hassle. We even got seated closer to the original reservation time when we ended up running early. There isn't much space to wait in the front lobby area especially on a packed night, but everything looks very upscale from the wine bottles on the wall to the crystals above the self-serve side buffet. As far as mandatory meats, I have a couple of personal rules when it comes to Brazilian steakhouse, including go light on the sides and only go for the beef. Picanha is my favorite, extra rare too, so I made myself a whole pincanha meat salad while probably giving the guy cutting the meat a good scare. The grilled pineapple is also a must, followed by the cheese and honey. Matt got a lot more variety but it takes a while for the guys to come around with meat that has already been sliced up some so I can get to the parts that I like. We got a papaya cream and passion fruit mousse for dessert, which we probably really didn't need but enjoyed thoroughly as we are both dessert people. As it was a busy night, it was not too easy to flag a server down. I saw picanhas skip our table left and right so I'm not sure there's an established route for them to bring the meat around. The staff did seem to work together with great teamwork, and someone always stopped by to make sure we had more water and our choice of sides. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone that is a protein or all you can eat fan. The regular price per person is definitely steep in my humble opinion, but if you can catch a promo it'll be a great time. Also, don't choose between still or sparkling, ask for tap. I will not be getting got again next time.

My party of 3 dined here on a Saturday for a little girls night and snagged a reservation on short notice (just a day prior). Honestly, the experience was underwhelming. We ordered a pao de queijo to start with two entrees to share. The pao de queijo, coming with just three measly balls, was dense, dry, and far from worth the hefty $8 price tag. The pao de queijo at Fogo De Chao is far superior which is not saying much, but at the very least, the famed Brazilian BBQ restaurant chain offers their bread gratis. The two entrees we ordered were the seafood stew and half rotisserie chicken. I'll admit the chicken was wonderfully cooked with every morsel succulent and juicy. But, the bed of rice was a tad too overcooked and the scant vegetables left the cohesive whole disappointing. Again, the seafood stew was underwhelming and the pilaf-esque rice seemed to make up the bulk of the "stew." I'm not sure if I'd dub seafood atop an oz or two of gravy as stew but perhaps stew is a subjective term.
