Both were delicious. I opted for the stroganoff----yes, stroganoff ---a little spicy and made with chicken . Enjoyed the flavors immensely.

Amazing food! Service was awesome and food was incredible! Lili is so sweet and you can tell she cares about her guests. She made us feel right at home. Be patient as they make your food right there and then so it's fresh. This is not a fast food, fast service restaurant. This is a family restaurant where you sit down and enjoy each other's company and enjoy some food that will make you happy and full! Thank you Lili and Staff! Will stop in again when in town.

Strogonoff- Sauce smell isnt super powerful, a close sniff of it, smells mildly cheesy and tomato-y, really nice smell. Sauce is really its own thing, closest I can compare is maybe milder pasta sauce, well done. Some chicken cuts are slightly tough but some cuts are like really nice and tender. Like half and half. I would love if there were more food but for what it is, was really tasty. Im a simple man, rice, meat and some nice sauce, I'm happy. The salad existed. Extra Empty during tuesday 7pm, but there did come a family (dad, mom and baby) and for some reason waiter sat them right behind me lol Waiter very attentive Seated right next to the fan blowing wind at me so I just switched to the other side seat lol Moment ur finished, waiter will clean up and bring u the tap to pay device and tablet. Well decorated Calm music Tall glass and small cup for water Before I ordered, I asked the waiter "I want something filling and tasty, what do you recommend" and she pointed to Strogonoff and Brazilian lasagnha. Maybe I was at the perfect mood today but delicious meal, nothing crazy but it is exactly what I want 5/5 read more

The service is beyond excellent. Our server was so helpful. The ambience is cozy and welcoming. The sauces are out of this world! If only the meat wasn't so tough and chewy, I would have given them 5 stars. It was so tough, I could not eat the chicken, but the sauce on the stroganoff was so yummy, I devoured it on my rice. Lili is amazing and you can tell, she cares if you are happy and comfy. read more

My daughter has Celiac Disease and we are very limited in places we can go out and eat as a family--this is defiantly one of them!!!! VERY Gluten aware (they are actually thinking about going Gluten Free in the near future). Service--all food is fresh and it does take a bit to get your food (personally I love the time to sit and relax) but very much worth any wait you may have!! Highly recommend for everyone but especially if you are looking for a Gluten Friendly place to eat as a family! read more

We had lunch here recently, deciding to try something new before we headed back home during one of our visits to Chico. We were overall disappointed. The place seems cute and attractive and has a good location in the heart of downtown. Service was very friendly but also very slow. We were a party of three and there was only one other table with a couple people at it, but it took a very long time for any food to come. When it did, one of the plates was cold. I got the Vaca Atolada, beef-short-rib stew with potatoes, beans, rice, and salad. It looked good but was not even mediocre. It was overly spicy and otherwise rather characterless, very one-dimensional. The beans and salad were also ok, unmemorable. 2 stars. One other in our party got the Picanha plate, which was the best dish of the three (3.5 stars for me, but for the one who actually ordered it, 2.5 stars). The Picanha meat was pretty good, but not great. It was lesser quality than picanha we have had before. The other got the Picanha sandwich, which had the Picanha meat on a dry, thin roll, with a little cream cheese and topped with basic, cold, bagged shredded cheese. The item was again ok, but the whole thing lacked character and seemed cheaply thrown together. It was simply not well executed. We got a juice drink (not specified on the menu, and we don't remember what the juice was), and it was the best thing. It was quite good and went well with the food. read more

Good food, friendly staff. Love the food from my country Brazil I will be coming back many times in the next 4 years

All of the above food, service and ambience. And a wonderful woman engaging with her clients.

Disappointing experience. The takeout picanha was expensive, salty, chewy, and small. Utensils weren't provided in the to go bag. The website app claims to offer 20% off during happy hour until 6pm but then strips away the discount at checkout. Cannot recommend. read more

In reading the reviews posted here I almost feel like was in a different restaurant. I ordered the Sandwich De Frango. Open face sandwich that was supposed to be grilled chicken and mushroom. First, the bread was not fresh but what was really upsetting is the chicken seemed like stewed pieces that were so dry I only had one small bite that was it. The topping had what looked like left over pieces of mushroom, and some onion and a couple of red pepper pieces. All looked like it was cooked and leftovers nothing freshly cooked at all. The flavor was missing and it was cold. The server was kind but offered just a student discount even though the sandwich was basically 99 percent left. Thank goodness for the very small salad that came with it. Needless to say I was very disappointed. Would have been a nice gesture to maybe offer a dessert since I left hungry. read more

We used Lili to cater our wedding and the whole experience was so fantastic. Lili is a joy to be around and she made sure I had no stress or worry about anything. I was free to just enjoy the day! She went above and beyond; from scouting out the location and helping to decide how tables should look and how food should be served, to a wonderful tasting menu and dinner with the parents. Asides from her wonderful character the food is next level. It is my favorite restaurant in town, full of authentic flavors that try as I might, are never the same when I try to recreate it at home. The staff was excellent and had great attitudes. Whether you are looking to have an event catered, or just to go out to eat, you will be happy you made the choice to support this wonderful gem of a local business. Thank you Lili for being you and bringing this wonderful cuisine and vibes to Chico!!! read more

This place is amazing. I have been wanting to try Brazilian food for a while and it's hard to find a good authentic place, but this one checks all the boxes. I tried the feijoada was so flavorful and rich. Everyone loved their food. It's a very cute place with good vibes and Lili is an amazing person (she runs the place). Sometimes she's all by herself so the food might take a while, but it's totally worth it. Definitely try the mousse de limão, it's super creamy and refreshing. I will definitely come back when I visit Chico again. read more
