(Most cooks tend to cook it Medium rare anyways) Had to take it to go. Steak came out damn near well done. I told myself if it's good I'll come back. If it's not...I'll just go somewhere else. Looks like I'm going somewhere else next time.

I went through the salad and hot side bar and tried a little of everything--black beans and plantains were especially good. Before checking out, I stopped at the grill for sausage, picanha, and brisket. The meat was perfect: well seasoned, tender, and clearly the highlight. Portions were generous, and the whole meal (including a tall passion fruit juice) came out to about $25, which felt like excellent value. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is casual and functional rather than fancy. Pro tip: pay attention to timing--when Mass lets out nearby, it fills up fast. Highly recommend, especially for meat lovers. Come hungry. I'd absolutely return.

The attention in the place is regular, they are not very helpful (except for the gentleman who cuts the meat) and what disappointed me a lot about the place is that there is a lot of mosco and it is really annoying to eat in such an environment, just like seeing the cashier killing them. Un lugar muy tranquilo, la comida estaba buena aunque el arroz con verduras estaba un poco duro tal vez llevaba mucho tiempo en calor. La carne estaba muy buen término. La atención en el lugar es regular, no son muy serviciales (excepto el señor que corta la carne) y lo que me decepcionó mucho del lugar es que hay mucho mosco y es realmente fastidioso comer en un ambiente así, al igual que ver la cajera matándolos.

Ambiance is cozy, frequented by locals that are treated like old friends by the staff. Menu is packed with traditional dishes I tried the San Rafael Parrillada, comes with a little of everything: churrasco, sausage, white rice, beans, salad and farofa. Very good and recommended.

Owner Manuel Teixeira went out of the way to help out, suggesting good choices of food to bring to the event and even gave us a delicious special of Carne de Porco alentejana. The food was ready right on time and a staff member even helped get everything into the car. The food was delicious and enjoyed by the Portuguese family members back in NYC. Terrific experience - will go back some time and eat at the restaurant itself. Obrigado Manuel!

The coxinha balls (made from mashed potato filled with chicken meat and the Brazilian version of a cream cheese) are da bomb! 1 is enough to fill you up and much more nutritious and cost a lot less than the price of a happy meal from that chain fast food at the end of the block. Picked up some corn bread/ pudding/ cake, freshly made at its clean premises and it was a hit at work. Would definitely return here to pick up more if in the area. Staff is friendly.
