The only (and I mean only) downside was my waiter brought me a second espresso martini when I didn't necessarily ask for one but honestly- I didn't mind. I really enjoyed the amount of windows so you could still see the palm trees outside. It was clean, not too noisy, or overcrowded with tables, and it seemed as if the manager ran a tight ship. Come for the food and drink but stay for the key lime pie.

This was my first time at Texas de Brazil and it was exactly how people describe it to me…read more Unlimited meat and salad buffet until you're stuffed! I did go during lunch time so the menu might've been limited but nevertheless still great. The restaurant was busy at its lunch hours but we're still accommodating. It was a dark moody vibe there. The server comes and ask if it's your first time dinning and also asks you how you want your meat cooked. The servers then come around with different types of meat to choose from. Our server was really nice and made sure our group was take care of. The salad bar was amazing and full of different choices. I really liked the churrasco cooked in medium. Desserts is served À la carte if you're up to it. Now were the steaks great? I think they're great for the price point. I recently just started having a thing for steak and I would say that it's worth it coming here if you are a meat lover.

First time visit - wife's birthday dinner and sister in law's anniversary - 4 of us total. The food…read morewas absolutely amazing. We started with the cheese bread and pork belly guacamole - both delicious. Drinks: wife got Pina Coloda and I got the Caipirinha, both made well. We order the 3 lbs of meet and the premium meet tray with mash potatoes (garlic and great!), asparagus, sautéed vegetables and caramelized bananas. This dinner was wonderful and we came away with take home box with some left over meat. Service was prompt and took excellent care of us. Only negatives: small area, we were lucky wasn't that busy but tight accommodations. Drinks: zero refills, unless you get tap water. We will return? Absolutely. If the owner keeps this up he will soon be able to expand his operation into a larger setting.

In the manner of all Brazilian style steakhouses, ALWAYS, ALWAYS OVERPRICED! The food is good, the…read moreservice is mediocre to nearly good service. I have no idea how they "get away" with charging such prices for their beef, chicken, lamb served with "sticky rice" (by the way on my trips to Brazil, I do not recall EVER getting lousy sticky rice - normally it is a Jasmine variety that is delicious and never sticky!) Also Black beans and a small assortment of side sauces that were decent. Oh and very soft Pao de Queso... one of my all time favorites, very much UNDERCOOKED - but I still liked it, due to the difference in cooking style. I have always had Pau de Queso well baked, with a hard crusty outer shell and a soft inner cheesy delightful center! Ani was the waitress, she is Cuban, while the remainder of the staff appears to be Brazilian, not sure, did not have the opportunity to ask. Ani worked her butt off, while the 4 others stood around watching. I hated that I had the sense of prejudice, maybe my "American" sensitivities were set off? I am a conservative, usually not looking for such BS, but this just seemed to be a bit obvious. Albeit the initial amount of people dining was 5 tables with an average of 4... she was able to do her job, but at the sacrifice of timely service to tables. The "ambiance" is fine, nothing truly distinguishes this as a Brazilian restaurant; I have been to Brazil 6 times, there restaurants do not really have anything distinguishable. Except the road side Churrasco - or those inside wayfaring gas stations... always loved those set ups! After sitting and being served for 1.5 hour, the people started to come in... and the place was full of families having a good meal! The other staff finally stepped up and did a good job! All of the staff were congenial, engaging and proactively serving, once the crowd showed up. Do I recommend this place? Yes, but only for an event where you seek a casual ambiance, decent food, pretty good service and you want a less expensive (albeit still expensive) alternative to the "high falooting" Brazilian Steakhouses like Rodizio or Texas de Brazil... those are off the charts!

She welcomed us in with a warm smile, and explained the items on the menu. The restaurant was clean and decorated for the World Cup. My partner and I ended up ordering the pao de queso, Picanha that comes with 2 sides - we opted for the corn and the cous cous salad. Everything was 5/5 - the cheese balls were delicious - and the sweet sauce that comes with it paired with it tasted surprisingly well. The meat was flavorful and tender, and paired well with the waitress' side recommendations. Even though I could have eaten more of the delicious meat, it was just the right amount of food to not make me feel too full. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you're in the area!

Visited on a weeknight and this place was pretty empty. The restaurant itself is nice inside and…read morethe waitress quickly came over to bring menus and get us situated. We ordered an appetizer and it came out super quick. The ham croquettes had good flavor and the sauce it came with was also good. They were kind of small but I think one order brought 8 pieces. We ordered the 2lb parrilla (mixed grill) and this came with all the meats; chicken, pork, sausage and two types of steak with two sides. We opted for the rice and beans and added an extra side of fried yuca. We were a party of 4 and this was more than plenty because we still ended up taking leftovers. Overall I wasn't to impressed with the meat I feel that it was lacking seasoning. Even the green sauce on the side was kind of flavorless. I was really expecting more flavor from this since this is what they are known for. They did cook it perfectly how we asked. The yuca fries were ok but I've had better. Our bill came out to a little over $100 without tip so for the price range I was expecting a little more. We had one app - one 2lb grill - 3 sides and 4 can sodas. Our waitress was very sweet but I probably would not be going back.

For some reason, I was thinking this was going to be one of those brazilian steakhouses where they…read morewalk around with meats on a stick and you eat and eat and eat... NO, this is not that. This is better! A non-assuming place on Hillsborough, plenty of parking, we sat in a booth before the place filled up. Ordered and had a lovely meal! I had the churasco and my friend had the filet. I would come back any day... Funny thing, I saw they have a food truck and it was parked in a parking lot not far from me, but a little far from the restaraunt... I might be able to go sooner rather than later! Not sure the food truck has a separate page, but when I visit it, I will either update this review or get a chance to review their other page. Good food! And the service was really nice as well. Gave me a chance to practice my spanish, which is extra rusty!

It was good but the description needs to be changed so there is no confusion. Black beans and the garlic rice were spit on good. I personally did not like the Fried Yuca but everyone else loved it (2 orders) so maybe don't trust my taste buds in that. I ordered the 1lb of meat and only ate 1/2. Everything was well seasoned and cooked to my desired temperature. The ambiance was casual so don't expect to have a romantic dinner. They have inside and outside seating but are located right in Hillsborough Ave so outside will be a little noisy depending on the time of day. The service staff was spit on. Very attentive.

The steak tartare was exquisite but I will say if you order a steak you do not need apps since it does come with steak, potato, salad, French onion soup, veggie, and onion straws. Good bang for your buck! You will spend a lot but it is more than worth it. The kitchen and wine tour just gives you an idea of the production of this magical place. The history and authenticity is just amazing.

I suggest you do not sleep on the escargot. It was perfect and the gazpacho style soup was wayyyy better than their,in my opinion, burnt French onion soup. (We came at the end of the night, so chalk that up to being literally one of the last guests). Wine list was INSANE and the cellar tour was one of the highlights of my year it was amazing to see so many old and relived bottles and some of the rarest in the world. This experience alone is why I give it 5 stars. I don't think my waygu filet was waygu- no marbling and it was not buttery at all we actually boxed it up immediately because it was not cooked med rare, but we were sharing a plate so, whatever. Kitchens seem to hate when people share but I have a special need and cannot eat large portions like that so, it was not us being cheap. We wanted to go to the dessert room, and so I wanted to save my last few bites for that. Food was basic in my opinion- but it was a grand experience and the server and very attentive and kind It was strange but they add 13% (didn't seem enough in my experience) to the bill, we added more, but didn't understand the feez?? I want to always leave a good tip but I didn't know if it was a "service fee" or if it was for the server it was not fully explained. (Hope he got the full tip.) Upstairs was the dessert room, the nostalgia of this was heavenly. A phone on the wall you can call the pianist and request a song. It was amazing. The flourless chocolate sundae---- OMG so good. The tiny but tasty brandy Alexander for the price it should have been much creamier and more than 2oz of whatever it was it didn't have all of the ingredients in it as described, but hey I still give this place 5 stars because it is kinda like a brothel meets the haunted mansion meets/ your grandmas house. So it was definitely unique and worth the over 400$ bill I just wish they would explain what their "service fee is" and when you order waygu- don't send out a regular filet to a person, who is a chef. It's insulting and really not what a company should do. Again, we were the last guests of the night we booked late on purpose, and start to finish this place was fascinating. The truffled tar tar was also very good. We had apps, wine, drinks dessert, steaks, salads, soups our waitstaff made up for the kitchens error on the cut of meat and we still at it next day. Fascinating is the word I think of for this Tampa favorite. I will go back but skip the meal and have appetizers, wine, and dessert. Hope they don't mind that.

Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. If you're into both savory and sweet, you have to try the Nutella French toast. It was amazing. I also loved the pork belly benedict. We ended up ordering a side of house potatoes, which were really good, though it was a bit odd that they don't come included with the dish. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back!
