Best Brazilian food in the Bay Area. Service is 10/10 and food is 12/10. Highly recommend coming with a group and a big appetite.

when you walk in, the smell lets you know that the food is good. My favorite thing to get here is the lamb chops which feeds up to two people. The lamb is juicy and was still sizzling when brought to me. when it first opened you could point to what you wanted and order. Now you are seated and given a menu. The menu has more options than when I came a few months ago. There is tilapia, stroganoff, Ribeye, T bone steak, and grilled Chicken. The place is bright and well lit. It is very clean. The servers are attentive and friendly. read more

Picanha Steak Meal, Steak Parmigiana, Fried Polenta were some of the food we ordered when we were the a couple of months ago. DELICIOUS!! If you are in Vacaville, this is a must stop and eat. You will not be disappointed. The price for what you get makes you feel that you are ripping them off. The food presentations makes you want to eat more. read more

I absolutely loved my dinner. We ordered the picanha steak dinner for two ( $38.90). It came with beans, rice, farofa, and a vinegrette! We also had Guarana which is a delicious traditional Brazilian soda- if you haven't had one and you like light sodas- I suggest you try it! The meat was deliciously seasoned. I don't generally eat a lot of meat but this meat was worth it- perfect cook and flavor. Great patio seating, a clean and comfortable modern interior, very comfortable upscale seating, and great attention to detail--we will be back. My suggestions to the business- updating the menu to make it clear which dishes are intended for a family dinner of two, put the Guarana on display- it is so good and we were worried there wasn't any. Also, maybe drop off promotionals at fire and police stations- once people start coming in they will keep coming because the food and service is excellent. They just don't know what they are missing! We believe and hope this restaurant will prosper. Thank you! read more

Another restaurant I wanted to like - and did like (three stars is good, not great). I ordered the chef's special, and pricing was fair, but three days later, what I remember the most was the farofa, a toasted cassava that seasoned the meat perfectly. For Vacaville, where food options are very limited, this is an excellent higher-end fast-food meal. read more

Owner was nice. We felt welcome, and respected. Clean utensils. They were fully invested in running their business. Attention to detail was excellent. The whole staff showed hard work. All hands on deck. Worth every penny spent. Will return; recommend, drive an hour and a half again just to eat here. read more

This place has mixed vibes. It tries to be contemporary with the decor and lighting, but It is basically a diner serving Brazilian food. The prices were reasonable. The service was so-so. The picanha and rib eye were both low grade cuts of meat. We ordered medium rare, and got well done. In addition, they were over salted. You could actually feel and taste the salt crystal crunch. The vegetable was basically the bits of parsley in the rice. A balanced meal it is not. This is a place you go to once and never return. read more

We are so excited to have a Brazilian restaurant in Vacaville! The indoor setting is beautiful, intimate and comfortable. The chairs are super comfy and makes dining in a pleasurable experience. The place is bright, chic and exceptionally clean! Today we ordered takeout. We had 2 steak entrees. Everything was delicious. Steak was delicious, beans with pork full of great flavor, rice was perfectly light and seasoned even the fries were yummy! The prices are a little higher than I expected but the food was packed with flavor so we felt the meal was worth it. We will be back soon to try out their buffet; everything on display looked delicious! read more

I love Brazilian food, and this place did not disappoint! From quality to portion sizes; the steak, polenta fries, bacon fries, even the rice was delicious. The service was fantastic. The owner came out to greet us and made sure everyone was happy with all of it. I did not mind more of a casual atmosphere as we were there with friends and children. I was eating leftovers for two days after the meal here. I could not recommend this enough. read more

This is Brazilian steakhouse in a fast-food format. The food options were good. I especially appreciated that you could get large platters of meat for 2-3 people for larger groups. I ordered the Picanha Steak meal for 3 which came with 6 pieces of steak. The service was really slow and inconsistent. They are probably way understaffed. The server did not seem aware of people coming in the door. The place, while it seemed to be setup well, had a bunch of broken things (ceiling, tiles, doors, lights, etc). so it was not a well-maintained facility. It makes you wonder about cleanliness. Pretty average, and probably not a good value for what you get. read more

Yummy! Their steak is good especially with the chimichurri sauce. Unfortunately, they don't provide this sauce with each steak dinner. You have to request it and they will charge you. Our favorite dishes from here are the Chef's Special and the Picanha Steak (has 5 pieces of steak...so family size shareable). If you order the Chef's Special, I'd recommend you order your steak one below how you normally like it done because they serve it to you on a sizzling skillet, which means your steak will continue to cook when it's brought out. My medium well steak pieces eventually became super well done =( FIRST IMPRESSION: nice clean restaurant in the Nut Tree area. Not too big but they do have an indoor and outdoor seating area. DISLIKES: chimichurri sauce is not a staple with every steak dish. LIKES: they do offer a military discount for my military families out there. read more

The steak dishes are nice, seasoned and marinated well with skilled char-grilling. The seafood dishes are, well...honestly not very good, and extremely (yes, EXTREMELY) salty. Service is excellent when available, but they don't have enough servers. My wife and I were there with our toddler and it was highly inconvenient to have to wait a half hour for water and an hour for entrees with a child that young. Ambience is excellent in warmer months if you can sit outside. Inside is very loud and cramped. A nice restaurant, overall. Wish we could have given it five stars. We were delighted with the steak dishes but disappointed at the saltiness of the seafood entrees and disappointed with having to wait so long (and were not given priority with a young child, as well), thus we have given 4 stars. This restaurant should hire more servers and improve the quality of all entrees to the level of quality that your steaks are. Attain this and you will be five stars. read more

Vacaville's Gem! My long overdue review about Show de Carnes Express. Me and my husband has been coming here since the restaurant opened. The food and service is ALWAYS excellent. We brought our family here for mother's day and a of couple birthday celebrations. Last weekend, I've made a last-minute reservation with them. We arrived 15 minutes before their closing time but we still felt very welcome. As usual our food came promptly. Our server was a great. Their picanha steak plate, ribeye for 2, black bean feijoada side, fried plantain and red chili sauce are delicious. I can't wait to come back for more!! Here is one of my videos from our many past dining experiences with them. read more

My brother introduced me to this place the other day for lunch and I am so happy he did! Being at the Nut Tree on a Sunday I expected a long wait time, but we were seated after 5 minutes of checking in. Our party of 6 (4 adults + 2 kids under 10) ordered the Pichana Na Chapa and the Mixed Grill. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures because I was so caught in the moment of family time. However, the pictures provided on the menu is exactly what you're going to get. The meat was cooked to perfection - juicy and well seasoned. Also the sides that came with it (rice, beans, chimichurri, etc) were the perfect compliments! And, the portions were perfect for the 6 of us. My favorite part of the meal was their house hot sauce, because it tastes almost exactly like my late grandma's homemade hot sauce made of habaneros and other chilis. Almost don't want to post this review, because next time they'll be too busy for me lol. But, they absolutely deserve all the business!! Ohh! Also, for the 6 of us our total (with drinks) was only $112! Which at the usual Brazilian steak house would barely cover 2 people (granted they are normally AYCE), but you would also leave in a meat coma. At Show De Carnes Express, we didn't leave feeling heavy/stuffed with meat. read more

Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 5/5 We went on a Saturday around 3p and it wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately. We ordered the chefs special which is a platter of sliced picanha with rice and fries for $32.95 I think. It was more than enough food for my husband and I and leftovers. We ordered medium well but I think we'll do medium next time because of the sizzling plate. It taste similar to a Brazilian steakhouse just for cheaper and without the meats on a stick. I enjoyed my meal and I will be back! read more

I decided to try this place out. The restaurant is located in the Nut Tree shopping area. Once I walked in I was immediately greeted by the super nice lady. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff which came with these awesome sliver fries which were crispy in texture and very tasty. The Stroganoff came with a very nice gravy. The meal also came with rice. I really enjoyed the food. I would definitely come again. Try them if you are in the area. I think you will like them too. read more

I heard about a new Brazilian restaurant opened in the area recently and just had to try it. So I took a friend and we went there immediately! The restaurant is small and clean while the staff were all very friendly and efficient! I ordered the chef's special picanha and my friend ordered the grilled shrimp. Both came out fairly quickly and sizzling on hot skillets! The sounds and smells were mesmerizing! The picanha was tender and well seasoned. The grilled shrimp were plump and also seasoned very well! We found ourselves scraping up every inch of the skillet with the veggies to soak up all the flavor! There was a lot on the menu and it all looked very delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try more that there is to offer! Highly recommended! read more

Ate here for my birthday. First time as well. Upon entering the restaurant, it was very hot and muggy indoor. No ac and hot air blowing on you. We chose to eat outside where it was shaded and a bit less hot. Food here was delish! We got the steak platter which came with all the fixings. Steak was flavored just right. For dessert we got a passionfruit mousse dessert. So refreshing for the hot weather and to end the meal with. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Went there tonight with my son... our server was very friendly and great the rest of the staff was all smiles.. food was delicious, we got the rib eye for 2 and they were cooked perfectly!

If you've lived in Brazil or spent some time there, you understand what a real almoço is. When the family gets together and enjoys a real home cooked meal. Im not talking about waiters coming around with an espetus. No this is real authentic sit at the dinner table type food. Delicious. Fresh Picanha delivered on a hot cast iron skillet. The staff speaks portuguese and the ambiance is fit for families. The service was great. Ananda was the best! She made sure we were constantly looked after. Highly reccomend read more

Cristiano the owner he's very nice guy. Also, his kids same. They have very delicious steak and the super friendly

Although it was a warm day, no AC running, just fans, it was bearable. The place -- even the loo -- was very clean and the casual furniture was comfy. We had the ribeye steaks, rare, which were indeed enough for 4 meals. The steaks were perfectly cooked and had that umami. These were almooost as good as the beef we eat when in Mexico. $55 was actually quite a bargain for both quality and quantity. The sides of rice, black beans and polenta were just meh. I did like the sauce that accompanied the meal. The waiter was informative re the cuts of steaks and efficient. read more

This place is so cute & clean. It gives old school, mad men-ish vibes. It's located in the Nut Tree plaza & is kind of small so you might miss it if you're just passing through but I highly recommend paying a visit. I love eating at Brazilian steakhouses but the prices can be outrageous. Show de Carnes is the perfect remedy to this! The prices are so reasonable & the food is exactly what you would hope for. We ordered the picanha platter that serves 2-3 for 3 people (less than $40), a side of mashed potatoes & plantains (both $4 each) as well. The steak was perfectly cooked, I loved the rice & beans, mashed potatoes were good & so were the plantains. I also enjoyed the sauces that came on the side. Everything was so good we ended up ordering another platter & taking it to go! Our waitress was so sweet & friendly. The food came out quickly & was sizzling on the cast iron platter when we received it. This is a true gem in Vacaville as there aren't many great food spots here so please support if you want to keep good food in the area! If you're craving a Brazilian steakhouse meal but want to pay a reasonable price I highly recommend this spot! Everything was wonderful. read more

Super pleased with this place! Food is well priced, good quality and taste! Shared the Picanha Chef's Special and it was $50 out the door for two people with drinks. Meat was tender and seasonings and onions were on point! Rice and fries side were tasty too! Will definitely go back and try the different meat options. There was one waitress there for lunch time but it's not a huge place so she was able to handle everyone for the most part. Love the changes to the space to give more ambiance from what it used to be. Drinks were a bit watered down but all in all a really great experience! read more
