Vila Brazil - Cedar Hill is a MUST TRY! From the moment I…read morewalked in, the staff was so attentive and polite. The service alone made the experience feel welcoming right away. Now the food... where do I even start? There was a station with so many different options ranging from veggies, starches, breads, and more. There was honestly so much that I couldn't try everything, but my favorites were the empanadas, the rice with beef, and the meatballs. They also had a salad section that I thoroughly enjoyed. There were so many fresh options to choose from. Next up...the stars of the show: The Meats. Once I turned that card over to begin, there was no stopping! Every meat that came around was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. OMGGG the parmesan chicken was delicious and juicy. There were still several meats I didn't get to try because there was just so much food. I also tried a few things that were new to me, like the Brazilian cheese, grilled pineapple, and a Brazilian margarita. That Brazilian cheese was sooo good that I can't even fully explain the taste. It almost reminded me of a pancake with syrup, just less sweet. The grilled pineapple put me in the mind of a cobbler but with a grilled twist. The margarita had the perfect balance of sweetness and liquor. I left feeling full and extremely satisfied. Vila Brazil - Cedar Hill is definitely Flavorchaser Approved!

I loved that the were understanding about my three year old having a meltdown! I enjoyed the pasta and other chicken dishes that were available besides the meat. I only gave it a four star because it felt a little rushed the guys with the meat sometimes would ask once and if you didn't reply fast enough they'll walk away. But everything else was really great and special, we came in on a weeknight so maybe that's why they seemed rushed?. Anyway, if you are in the area definitely check them out!

It is a traditional Brazilian steakhouse, come around with numerous kinds of meats. The lamb was very good as well as the Picanha. They offer a lot of desserts and have a good sized salad bar.

There are restaurants that survive on precision, and there are restaurants that survive on memory…read more This place -- glowing softly in the collective subconscious of Arlington -- clearly belongs to the latter category. You feel it the second you walk through the door: the low-lit booths with their little upholstered walls, the faint ghost of cigarette smoke that no longer exists but somehow still clings to the architecture, the dormant jukeboxes sitting at each table like relics from a civilization that believed Patsy Cline could solve almost anything. Even as a newcomer, you understand immediately that this restaurant matters to people. The problem, unfortunately, is the food. One reads the local lore before arriving: the cooks retained during the remodel so the recipes would remain untouched, the menu preserved almost archaeologically across decades, the reverence accorded to dishes whose flavors now seem less timeless than simply frozen in amber. There is honor in that kind of loyalty. There is also danger. On a Friday night the dining room sat strangely hollow, despite enough seating to accommodate half the city. My glass of house cabernet arrived competent but anonymous, the sort of wine whose primary function is to lubricate nostalgia. I ordered the Italian steak, partly because the steak itself has a devoted following and partly because I was curious about the accompanying pasta. The steak, to be fair, possessed certain virtues: thick-cut, substantial, lacquered with a dark old-school steak sauce that tasted faintly of another era's understanding of sophistication. I requested medium well. One half arrived medium well; the other crossed firmly into well-done territory, as though two cooks had briefly argued over its destiny. Still, the steak was fine. The pasta beneath it was another matter entirely. Its red sauce carried the uncanny sweetness and flattened acidity of canned convenience food, conjuring memories less of regional Italian cooking than of lukewarm cafeteria spaghetti or a slightly depressed tin of Chef Boyardee. Alongside this came a lonely piece of white toast -- dry, pale, almost comically austere. Not garlic bread. Not rustic Italian bread. Just toast. It felt less like accompaniment than prop comedy, a plate from a lost scene in The Blues Brothers. My wife's shrimp fajitas fared worse. The menu promised tomatoes, onions, peppers -- the lively architecture of Tex-Mex abundance. What arrived was startling in its restraint: plainly cooked shrimp beside a few softened onions, one tiny shard of pepper, and none of the promised tomato. No cumin, no char, no chile, no discernible fajita seasoning at all. It tasted less unfinished than entirely uninterested in being eaten. And yet the staff was genuinely kind. That matters. Hospitality radiated from the room even when flavor did not. Driving home, I asked my wife how many stars she would award the experience. "Two," she said immediately, with the confidence of someone who had spent the evening searching for salt. I am perhaps slightly more forgiving, if only because the place itself exerts a peculiar charm. Restaurants like this become civic heirlooms. People do not return because the food astonishes them; they return because the booths once held first dates, because grandparents celebrated anniversaries here, because the jukebox used to work, because continuity itself can become a cuisine. Musso & Frank Grill operates in much the same emotional territory: a historic dining room sustained as much by mythology as by what emerges from the kitchen. But nostalgia is not flavor. Atmosphere is not seasoning. And in a city like Arlington -- where good food is hardly scarce -- sentiment alone may no longer be enough. You leave understanding perfectly why people love this restaurant. You also leave wondering why they still eat there.

I'd give them a 3.5 if I could…read more Hibachi is hibachi and Mr. Hibachi is fairly decent compared to other places. Their portions are really generous and everything was seasoned really well. The noodles were everyone's fave! They fail with the details though. For example, the sugar and sweeteners for tea at our table was very low (like one packet of sugar for the whole table) and all of the condiment holders had obviously not been cleaned from the lunch service. We came at open so that means no one checked to make sure that all items were ready for customers prior to open. Also there was some type of ventilation issue. The smoke from the hibachi lingered and there air in the restaurant was kind of "stale". We also had to ask for little things that should have been standard (ice with our drinks, napkins, etc) and waited a long time to close put out ticket. I think it just depends on the server and chef that you get. The table across from us had great service with no issues from the looks of it. Not sure if I'd call this the best hibachi in DFW. It's a step up from Benihana in terms of quality but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it out.

This small neighborhood Mexican (not Tex-Mex) restaurant is really hitting its stride. We have…read morebeen regulars at the family's Porch restaurant next door, and after starting with a limited menu La Casita now has full lunch/dinner and brunch offerings. Our favorite is probably the parillada for two. A lot of food for a quite reasonable price. Enchiladas are also quite good, with enchiladas divorciadas being my favorite since the red sauce isn't the typical Tex-mex version. The sides are also quite good, with the rice deserving special mention as it does not taste like what you typically get at restaurants around here. The salsa that comes with the lightly seasoned chips is addictive, in part because it isn't trying to blow you away on the heat scale. This place is a hidden gem. They are doing a nice business, better than any of the previous restaurant tenants at this location. Give them a try...west Arlington has nothing else quite like La Casita.

Went back on a Tuesday after seeing their $1.25 taco Tuesday special…read more To note and not on menu: a side of rice or beans is $3.49 and small scoop sour cream is $1.79. For the $1.25 Taco Tuesday special you can choose between their street or crispy tacos. Sides separate of course. So depending on how many you are getting and if you want sides, it may be better to get their taco plate (3 tacos rice & beans. Street $10.99, Crispy $11.99)). My Mom & I shared a chips and queso ($6) and I got a crispy beef taco ($1.25) and am a good full. She got 2 tacos plus the side sour cream for the queso as she is very mild spice tolerance. Fast friendly service. Easy parking right in front. We will go back.
