Literally just got back from Rio and have been trying all the stores around to find some good acai…read more This place has the most legit tasting acai blend between SF and SJ by far! I'm pretty sure I came here 3 days in a row. This shop seems pretty new, but if I was to make any suggestions I would recommend getting a soft-serve machine for dispensing to keep the acai texture smoother. The ice cream tubs seem to encourage the formation of larger ice crystals which can make the center a bit crunchy.

My wife found out about this place when looking for some Açaí in the area and I'm so glad we came…read moreacross it. We haven't had Açaí bowls in a long time and this was the perfect way to reintroduce our "addiction". You start out by choosing your first base, it is filled up half way and then you can put your first layer of toppings. From there you add in your second layer of açaí and top it off with more toppings. I didn't think that a soursop base would make that much of a difference, but now it is my new favorite. The açaí was delicious and I'll have to come back again to try some of the other combinations.

From the outside, this is a very unassuming neighborhood store. I've stopped by here before but…read morewalked right back out because the front just looks like a liquor store but I was on a mission to find Brazilian food and Yelp led me back here. There are some Brazilian snacks sold here but the real gem is the fresh savory pastries they sell in the back. These are made daily and brought over from Cafe de Casa! I placed a special order and the price per item broke down to $1.10 per piece. I had to pay through Zelle 2 days ahead of time for the preorder and the results were phenomenal at pick up. This was meant for an office party I was organizing and everyone, including my Brazilian boss, was super impressed! I have been to Cafe de Casa in SSF many, many years ago so if you like Brazilian food, do go check it out. I have tried: Kibe, Coxinha, Enroladinho de Queijo, Disco, Rissole de Presunto & Queijo and Rissole de Carne e Milho -- these are all very similar to a croquet: meat stuffed with vegetable and fried or baked.

Make sure to check the expiration date on everything here. Last month I told the owner the cough drops are 2 over the expiration date and today I saw the same ones on the shelves. You can also tell no cleaning has been done inside for a long time

The setting of the plate, with fries and beans and rice and meat is very welcoming. The rice was ok, the chicken was not that good, but the beef was delicious. The beans also was not that tasty, and who can complain about the fries. Overall good foos, and will order again.

Great food and service! Loved the steak and the chicken! I recommend trying out the picanha!read more

The ceviche was absolutely delicious, very fresh and wonderful flavor. We also got the classic lomo saltado and bisteck. Both were very well prepared and it was an overall great meal. It is low key vibes with attentive and friendly staff!

Food below par. The "Chaufa con mariscos" or "Seafood fried…read morerice", the seafood had a leathery texture, Overcooked. The rice itself no "chaufa" taste. The "Tallarines verdes con bistec" or "Spaghetti with creamy pesto and NY steak", we send the NY steak back as it was very wiry and hard to cut. Subbed with meat from their "Lomo saltado", ir was OK. The creamy pesto sauce missed the flavor profile, too garlicky. The "Papa rellena", The potato was OK, the filling overcooked.

I was really in the mood for an acai bowl and decided to come check out Cafe De Casa. It has a hole…read morein the wall feel to it and that's how you know it's going to be good. Inside, there is only enough room to place your order - the few tables they have are outside in their garden area. I got the peanut butter acai bowl. They also have an assortment of Brazilian pastries that all looked amazing so we got an assortment of savory pastries to try. They brought those out nice and toasted and they were delicious and cheesy on the inside. My acai bowl hit the spot - beautifully arranged with a great ratio of fresh fruit, granola, and chilled creamy acai with the flavor of peanut butter mixed in - it made for a sweet, yet healthy lunch. Would definitely come back.

Wow when I got the pastries here they were still warm, like they had come out of the oven, and this…read morewas past lunch time! Let's get to it--friendly staff, warm pastries, careful boxing of the items. Items tasted freshly made. The beef empanada was warm and had a good amount of flavored beef. My coworkers hot dog one was also warm, and my other coworker had a different empanada one that I forgot to ask about, but I'm sure it was fine. I'd recommend this place if you like these kind of savory pastries!

Came here hungry and left very happy. Service was great from start to finish -- our waitress was…read moresuper friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The salad and side bar had a lot of good options and was way better than expected. But the real star was the endless selection of meats. So many different cuts coming around and every one we tried was juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. One of my unexpected favorites though... the grilled Brazilian cheese with honey. OMG. That alone is worth coming back for -- sweet, salty, warm, and ridiculously good. Drinks were solid too -- had both the sangria and margaritas and enjoyed both. Finished everything off with dessert and it was the perfect ending. Great food, great service, and a fun experience overall. Definitely coming back.

I've been wanting to try Show de Carnes Brazilian Steakhouse in Sausalito for a while, but never…read moregot the chance. Since they opened a location closer to us in Palo Alto, we finally made a reservation for dinner. Overall, it was a good experience! The salad bar was decent and even included sushi. If you're a fan of salmon sashimi, just ask your server, they'll happily bring it to your table. The meat selection was good, although I felt it wasn't as extensive as some other Brazilian steakhouses. My favorites were the Spicy Top Sirloin, Picanha, and Beef Ribs, all were incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. While we enjoyed our meal, Espetus is still my favorite among all the Brazilian steakhouses I've tried. From the variety of meats to the quality of the salad bar, it continues to be my top choice. That said, Show de Carnes is still worth a visit, especially if you're in the Palo Alto area and craving a Brazilian steakhouse experience.

My boyfriend and I came here again for dinner, and it definitely did not disappoint. We absolutely…read morelove the food, service, and atmosphere here. It's such a great spot to enjoy good food, great vibes, and even conversations with the staff. We ordered the Avenue Cut and the San Mateo Prime Rib Cut, both with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach on the side. SO good and super filling. The last time we came, we were with a big party, but this visit was just the two of us and it was still amazing. The owner, Shaw, and his staff are always so kind, welcoming, and friendly. When we walked in, the restaurant was pretty busy with large parties, but Shaw kept reassuring us that our food was coming and continued checking in to make sure we were doing okay. That level of hospitality really stands out. I also ordered the margarita and let me tell you... the bartender does not play around with the pours. Definitely not complaining because it was delicious. I also love the horseradish sauce they serve on the side. It's the perfect complement to the prime rib and helps cut through the richness so the meal doesn't feel too heavy. This has honestly become one of our go-to spots for prime rib. It's hard for us to try other places because we love the food and atmosphere here so much.

This is my first time dining here, and I heard all the things of "not as good as hopr" or "you come…read morehere if you can't get a hopr reservation". Honestly, all true. I would say 3.5 but I'm very generously rounding up. We made a Friday night reservation a week out but honestly I'd say you can very easily walk in. There were only maybe about 6 or 7 tables seated. Service is very attentive and very friendly, no points deducted. Their bar island drinks aren't the best so minus points. They can't make an espresso martini and my friends old fashioned seemed like it was more of a mixed drink made with seltzer? It was good but def not an old fashioned. There wasn't a dedicated bartender, the host made the drinks. To be clear, the prime rib was very good. I think it was really tasty and really tender. I finished my 16oz! The sides are where they are lacking. The salad tasted a little too sweet, the popover was a little too eggy, the creamed corn wasn't creamy enough. The free bread in the beginning was very good tho lol and they kept it coming! If you're craving prime rib last minute I'd say San Mateo prime will die just to scratch the itch.
