The young man working was so accommodating and patient. We got all of our Brazilian favorites, and really enjoyed our dinner. We even got a nice little dessert at the end. Brazil was decked out all over the restaurant, that was nice TVs, and you do have to walk next-door to use the bathroom, but it's easy. I would most definitely go back there, if you're looking for Brazilian food in this area, this is the place to go !

I was very excited when I saw that we were getting a Brazilian restaurant in Raleigh. I'm from…read moreBrazil and really wanted to like this place. The thing is, every single time I ate there something was wrong or they didn't have most of the items on the menu. The pictures on the menu look very good but that's not how the food actually comes. I took my husband there to try some Brazilian food and unfortunately I had to tell him that this wasn't what I expected. The rice was warmed up, the picanha was hard to eat and they gave us plastic dinnerware which makes it hard to cut the picanha. They didn't have brigadeiro and the coxinha looked and tasted different.

There were several tables when I walked in, and she got everyone's drinks, took their orders, made the food and then dropped it off! You have to have a little patience of course, this is not a fast food restaurant, but let me tell you, it was worth the wait! I ordered the 1/4 white chicken with green beans and Portuguese rice. The flavors blew me away! It was some of the best chicken I've ever had. And the hot sauce on the tables is beyond reproach. I asked her if she sold it, and she said no. But she needs to! I can't wait to dine here again.

Kaitlyn was great. We have dined at Nana Steak, Angus Barn, and The Library in Fuquay. The steak we had this evening was on par if not better than all the other restaurants for a much better price. I would love for the sides to be a bit more adventurous- I do love a fried brussel sprout, but what they had was good. The baked potato came loaded, which was nice. We got the 16oz Churassco to share. Cooked perfectly and the chimichurri was very good. We will come again for sure.

What was even more surprising was also how juicy and flavorful their steaks were!! I have now gone multiple times, especially when I want to have a churrasco cooked the right Argentinian way, with the chimichurri sauce and sweet potato fries. Truly recommend this place for a romantic date night in Durham or a celebratory dinner! The ambience is intimate and the service is great. The manager checked in on us multiple times and I even watched her handle a "difficult" customer very professionally ! Can't wait to continue to come back.

The entire mall here is pretty desolate...empty, abandoned shops line the walls of this place. I…read morewas literally taken aback by the lack of businesses here. So when I saw this little bakery, I thought why not support a little local bakery? The girls were very, very friendly so of course that made me happy to spend my money there. We got samples of chocolate candy and guava juice. We ended up getting Brazilian carrot cake, which tastes nothing like American carrot cake. It was unique and not too sweet. The guava juice tasted like it was straight from the tree. It didn't taste artificially sweet or anything. The croquettes were different, but not sure that I'd order again.

It came with 2 empanadas we got the boricua (beef, cilantro, green olives& onions) and the brasiliero (beef and potatoes) 2 tacos (the steak and the pork) 2 tostones, some yuca fries and a small side of guacamole. We also got the 3 empanada box which we got the Cubans (champ, pork, pickle, mustard and cheese), the tripleta (pork, steak, ham and cheese with onions and mayo mustard) and the spicy picadillo and cheese. We also tried the sauces: cilantro Lime ranch, the garlic mojo (garlic olive oil, fresh lime juice) and , roasted tomato (roasted tomatoes a d jalapeño said extra hot) and cilantro lime (cilantro jalapeño and lime based sauce said hot) If anything said hot I tried it and I believe them!! I'm not much for spicy stuff but the cilantro like ranch!!! I will get that every time. The only thing that would be negative for me is their drinks are cans and that the tostones aren't really flavorful. They are crunch and fresh heals but wouldn't order them again! My absolute favorite was definitely the cubano empanadas! I could get a box of those and be completely happy! Will definitely return if I'm in the area!

The workers seemed slightly slower than the other location I have been to. No biggie. Finally, when it was my turn to order, the guy motioned to me and said something (I couldn't understand him, but it was obvious he wanted me to place my order) so I started my order and then he mid-sentence of me saying the order, he looked down at the monitor and said "one minute" as an online order came in and he started to proceed to make THAT order as I stood there waiting to finish my order. I am not thinking the world should revolve around me at all, but I have also learned that in customer service the person in front of you should be the priority. So finally, I placed my order and moved on through to the cashier. She had ZERO smile and ZERO eye contact. I pride myself on being a cheerful, polite person who also tries to give a genuine smile. She seemed to be tired and definitely didn't want to be there. I had to WAIT to pay bc she was turned waiting for something. No explanation like, "I'll be able to get your payment in just a second" or anything of the sort. The food was delicious, nonetheless. The lighting at night inside is a little too much on the cool side. We decided to take our order to go. Will we be back? yes, but to the Spring Forest Road location instead. the staff is friendlier and way faster!

I will certainly visit this location again when I'm in the area.
