    This restaurant has a fiercely loyal following among Brazilian ex-pats who flock here for reference quality feijoada and other tastes of home. Grilled items are also delicious. [Eater 38 Member]

    I love the feijoada and the fish stew!!! It's wonderful!! The owner is always receiving their guest making sure if they are being well treated. Very nice service, food and ambient.

    This is THE place to come in Houston, when there is a soccer 'futbol' game, especially if Brazil is playing. The atmosphere is absolutely awesome and the food is down to earth genuine! 4 Real.

    The buffet lunch usually contains feiojoada (bean stew) which is very good. On the a la carte menu, a good choice is the picanha.

    This little spot is where Houston's Brazilian community gathers to eat comida caseira, old-fashioned home cooking. Read more

    The food is really tasty, particularly the rissoles, the coxinhas, and the peixada. The seafood dishes could use better quality seafood though (shrimp look almost like tiny little canned shrimp).

    The feijoada is a must-have, and the coconut flan is great! We went on a night with live music, too! A great experience! :)

    I love their food and caipirinhas, just don't be in a hurry and pretend like you're in Latin America. Service is relaxed here.

    Authentic as you can get. Menu goes beyond that of a Brazilian steakhouse. Stroganoff is delicious

    Definitely get the pão de queijo (cheesebread). The food is very authentic. For dessert, the coconut flan is really good too.

    Must-haves are the Moqueca de Camarão, Pão de queso, Papaya Cream and, of course, a caipirinha. Saturdays they serve the best feijoada I've had outside of São Paulo!
