The…read moreservice was top tier and the pricing is incredibly reasonable for the food quality and what's included. I recently tried the executive lunch on a Friday afternoon and can't get over how affordable it was. I paid $21 for the bacon wrapped chicken which includes the unlimited gourmet salad bar and the refillable sides of pao de queijo, crispy polenta, garlic mashed potatoes, and caramelized bananas... that is a STEAL (especially compared to other Brazilian steakhouses). Usually the chicken tends to be overcooked and dry at Brazilian steakhouses from my experience but these pieces were moist and so flavorful from the bacon! It came with 4 pieces which were probably around 1.5 ounces each (6 ounces total). The sides were plentiful and the servers continually refilled them as needed... all of the sides came out hot and fresh. The salad bar was clean and has tons of items to choose from. There are multiple salad options, fresh vegetables, chicken salad, waldorf salad, tabouli, chickpea salad, cheeses, rice, beans, chicken alfredo pasta, potatoes, and beef soup. I honestly have zero complaints and would LOVE to come back and experience the executive lunch again in the future! It's one of the best lunches I've had in a while for an extremely affordable price with fantastic service. You can't beat it! Estancia is truly a gem!

I was really excited about this place because the food looked so delicious in photos. The picanha…read morewas soo delicious, the steak had a somewhat smokey flavor and was super tender with a tangy chimichurri type sauce on top. The cheese empanada was super yummy, it's exactly what it sounds like, just ooey gooey melty cheese in a crispy empanada. The owner was also super friendly and kind! Overall, a very very filling meal and I'm happy I got to try this food truck!

After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend this place for a Brazilian restaurant! We came here for a birthday celebration…read moreand they made sure it was a great experience! I am craving it days later and have recommended it to everyone I know! The ambiance was wonderful and it was really clean! The staff were so friendly and helpful and since I made a reservation, we were seated right away! They had a salad bar and let us know we could go anytime. They started us out with these amazing cheese rolls that I want all the time! I love them and will come back and be sure to order multiple orders of them! The picana was tender as were all the other meats! It was $70 pp and we added cheesecake for a birthday! We also got drinks which made the dinner that much more divine! A+ we will be returning and I am sad I didn't take pictures because I starved myself the whole day due to anticipating this dinner!

It's a medium-sized venue, and there is a private room for small parties. I enjoyed being there, and I would recommend it for families, couples, or colleagues. With an open dining room, people-watching was also fun. I mean...the service is about as good as you can get anywhere! The staff is friendly, attentive, and personable (even willing to joke around). My favorite is the lamb, so they joked with me a bit. The Lamb Chops were better (that is gamier) than the Leg of Lamb. My wife doesn't care for the lamb, but she likes the other meat offerings plenty. When we asked for specific meats...they would bring them. Competitors' staff say they will bring something, but Bitelo's staff actually delivers! My only feedback is that they didn't proactively offer to change out my dirty plate (which was quickly being overrun by lamb shop bones). Let's talk about the salad bar (which we always enjoy at a Brazilian Steakhouse). While others host larger selections, Bitelo hits all the high notes, and fewer offerings actually make it more perfect for us. The bite-sized cheese breads are AMAZING, however, I do prefer the Polenta that other places will serve over the mashed potatoes. Highly recommended!

We just spent the evening here with a party of ten as part of a triple-birthday celebration in our…read morefamily. We were originally planning on a different place, but I recently found out that this spot opened up in Bastrop. The place is smaller and a bit less fancy than the Brazilian steakhouses in Austin, but the food is just as good. I'd even argue that some of it were even better. I'm a huge fan of the parmesan pork, even though most people find it too dry, and it was better here than at any other place I've tried. The salad bar was smaller than what I'm used to, but the selection was great. Everything that I tried was delicious, and the others in my group who tried other things were very pleased, too. Everyone in our party had their own personal favorite. My four-year-old granddaughter couldn't get enough of the sausage, which was quite good. The service was outstanding, which I've found to be typical of these types of restaurants. The service staff (and I'm assuming the managers) were on top of everything, keeping our drinks filled and frequently asking if we needed anything else, but managed to also be unobtrusive at the same time Towards the end of the meal, they began asking if there was any particular cuts that anyone wanted, and they filled our last requests. I'll admit that I had more Caipirinhas than I should have, which likely made my experience even more enjoyable, but we all had a great time. We all enjoyed the experience very much, and while it was indeed pricy, it was still considerably less expensive than I would have paid in Austin. I'm super-happy that this is an option in Bastrop. I'll absolutely be visiting again, and I really hope that it does well enough to be a permanent fixture.

We were not disappointed! Frog and the Bull is a modest sized place in a strip mall, nice vibe, folks having a good time at the bar. Destiny was our waitress, she did a great job, attentive but not intrusive. Thanks Destiny! We started the meal with the brussels sprouts on the recommendation of Destiny. What a winner that dish is! Sprouts, apples, Manchego cheese, sherry vinegarette reduction and some awesome bacon bits... heaven on a plate! For entrees, we opted for the pepper-crusted filet, medium rare, and the fish and chips. Both plates were good. The filet was cooked perfectly, spot on temperature, and the pepper-crust was a bit overpowering. Not bad, interesting. We're more purists when it comes to meat, so the filet itself would likely have been even more delicious. The sides of asparagus and pasta were okay, a Basque-style potato on the side would have outshined the pasta. The fish and chips were good. The fish was fresh, nice batter, served piping hot as it should be. The fish portion was modest, especially given the price tag. At that price point ($25), the fish serving should have been twice the size. The initial serving of "chips" were room temperature at best, but that was quickly remedied by Destiny when brought to her attention. The truffle fries are darn good when hot! All in all, a good meal. A 4-star experience. The above observations are intended to suggest options for improvements, not criticize. The "Frog" portion of the restaurant's name is an homage by the owner (a former Navy Seal) to his fallen Navy brethren. (Note the Navy Seal Trident above the entrance to the kitchen). Thank you for your service! We will be back, lots of other stuff to try on the menu. Recommend Frog and the Bull, nice vibe, good food.

UPDATE: I'm so saddened by the changes here in the past 3 months. This isn't the restaurant we…read morelooked forward to taking our family to. Did they change ownership? The Spanish roots are gone. Reduced Tapas menu. Where's the Lamb lollipops, meatballs, etc we used to love? Overcooked Salmon. Where's the pride in ownership? Dirty windows. Only 1 outdoor heater working. Rotting deck. Paper towel dispenser barely hanging on the wall (husband reported in men's room). Owner working on his business at a table in the dining room. The pizza may keep them afloat, but idk. This isn't about staff not caring. (They were friendly as always). I hope the owner wakes up and brings back the passion and vision that was present when they opened a few years ago.
