Barbacoa is a very nice Brazilian steakhouse, and the ambiance and service were solid. It's the…read moreclassic churrascaria experience -- similar to Fogo de Chão -- with a full buffet, salad bar, and endless cuts of meat brought to the table. Here's the thing: I don't eat steak, pork, or most of the meats they specialize in, and I'm not a big fan of buffet or all‑you‑can‑eat restaurants in general. We came here because a coworker invited us, and she was being really kind, so I didn't think to check the price beforehand. I ended up only eating the salad, and with dessert my total came to about $66. For someone who doesn't eat the main attraction, that price felt a bit high -- honestly, I felt a little ripped off, LOL. Not the restaurant's fault at all; this is exactly how churrascarias work. It just wasn't the best match for my eating habits. Next time, I'll politely turn down the invite or suggest a different spot that fits my preferences better. But if you do enjoy steakhouse-style dining and want the full Brazilian churrasco experience, Barbacoa delivers exactly what it promises.

Wow is all I can say! In a city full of Churrascarias, this one is the absolute best! The food, the…read moreservice, the ambiance- all top shelf! I love several other Churrasacarias in São Paulo, but this one is a real standout. We had a group dinner with friends and coworkers, and we were led to a large table, and the staff fawned all over us. They were very accommodating and friendly. The food and wine were all top-notch, and they brought whatever cut of meat you asked for, instead of waiting for the "good stuff" like the Picanha. The salad bar was great as well, although I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any Feijoada, which is usually a staple at any Churrascaria in Brazil. Again, there are several good Churrascarias here, but if you want the best, you won't get any better than Barbacoa!

I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!

Their famed "baby beef" was amazingly tender and flavorful. All sides were delectable and their service is always top notch. While considered very expensive from a local perspective, A Figueira Rubaiyat offers great value for those coming from abroad and thinking in dollar terms. We paid roughly $75 per person (R$ 360 in local currency, no alcohol, no dessert, only water, bread service, one entrée, and one side). You can't go wrong with A Figueira Rubaiyat!

The evening I decided to go, I arrived on a weeknight at about 6PM. We were the only people in the restaurant, and they almost appeared to not be open yet, but they welcomed us in and sat us. Because we were early, not all of the self-serve bar/salad bar items were out yet, but they were populating it as we were there so it wasn't an issue. They were very accommodating with bringing out meat just for us even though we were the only ones in this restaurant at the moment. By the time we left, a few couples had come in and been sat, but even at 7PM it was still not busy. All in all though, it was an excellent experience with excellent food and I wouldn't hesitate to come here again if I was in Guarulhos again. (It was my first time having duck hearts too! They weren't bad, but it isn't really a food I'd ever get excited over).

Definitely recommend dining here!

I grew up in São Paulo, and have been to many churrascarias over the years - this was one of the absolute best! Like all churrascarias, you need a strategy, however. Because the meat is probably the most expensive part of the meat, the salad and appetizer bar is amazing. If you want to, dive in, but go slow with the cheese bread (pão de queijo) because it will fill you up in an instant! It's probably a good idea to enjoy a little salad with hearts of palm, and even a little sushi, but save room for the picanha, which is the best cut of beef you can have at a Brazilian steakhouse! Apparently, their feijoada is to die for, so if you are in town, keep that in mind as well. It's quite expensive, even for São Paulo, but in my opinion, and many, many others - it's well worth it! Enjoy!

World class service begins the moment you walk in as someone opens the door for you. The service gets even better from there. Food is brought immediately as many servers offer different cuts of meat.

For about $25 US dollars per person, you can have as much meat as you can eat. The lamb was honestly, hands down, the very best lamb I have ever had. Every cut of steak, chicken, and sausage just oozes flavor. Besides the main meats, the sushi and pasta bars produce amazing flavors, but I come for the meat, so I eat very little pasta and almost no sushi. Their salad bar was well stocked with tasty cheeses, olives, and other great tasting distractions. The service was amazing. Five star. The cleanliness was also five star. Motion opening doors keep everything hygienic. Love it and can't wait to go back.
