funky f.funky flavor: Great drinks. They make a great caipirinha, and totally try the salgadinhos for appetizers. For main course you can't go wrong with the sirloin steaks.

Graylyn R.Graylyn Roose: The salgadinhos are a must if you're going to get an appetizer. The fried yucca was delicious as well. It's not super clear from the menu, but the chicken bites are not boneless.
