There is a review below that said they wouldn't serve this meat to a dog, and I can tell you that review was correct. All meats were ordered medium rare, but none came that way. One order was the wrong item entirely. The photos attached I believe are supposed to be medium rare picana and churasco, but I can't tell which is which because they both look like burnt discards. Maybe it is supposed to be dried out jerky? This place is absolutely the worst. Avoid this joke of a restaurant whose business model is obviously just to get paid once, because no one would ever eat here again.

My husband got an advertisement at instagram and we were wondering to go cause it's some bad reviews. We finally went Saturday night and to my surprise it was great. The environment was clean and nice. Most of the workers are Cubans (this is Hialeah, ), and shocked NO BRAZILIANS WORKING. The food was great. Meat super tasty and farofa was incredible good. Our server Ketty was very nice and present when we needed. And gauchos very nice too. Going back soon for sure.

The very best lamb chops I have had thus far. I have some favorites and for many years, nothing has been able to come near but this place has just surpassed every other lamb chop I've had. Excellent flavor, nice char taste to it, and nice portion . 10/10 recommend.

My wife and I have dinner there and were not impressed with the meats, being rancid, dried out and over cooked.But the real shocker was tonight when I ordered Ubereats......They save the worse burnt meats for delivery thinking that the customer can't send it back. Well I did I took their horrible meat and asked them if they would feed that to their dog?Of course the manager was hiding he must be used to this.....

Location is visible if you are going North on Lejeune. Fancy inside as the colors give it a good ambiance. Music is ok but could be a bit more mixed.Some of the negatives that may need attention. Meet and Greet is a must. Water should be automatically but offer gas or mineral. Ask if it is a first time to assist any other guest.The buffet was good and the vegetables were fresh. Meats don't come out right away, so wait before indulging. Depending on how you like your meat, let the server know that way you don't have to wait a while for the next round. Fruits are fresh, and desserts looked and tasted good. Make sure you pay attention to the bill when paying.If you are looking for a cozy place, this may just be the place for you.

It looks very small, but the atmosphere is great. A LITTLE HOLE IN THE WALL. The service is great. The food AMAZING, worth every penny

Went to Porto Allegre on a recommendation from my wife's co-worker. The food was excellent. The meat kept on coming. It was soft and very tasty. Service was excellent from Heidy our server. At $36.95 you can't go wrong.

Very high price for lunch and did not tell us of the mandatory 18% tip and we double tipped. Never going back despite food being good.

I had heard good things about this restaurant but was very disappointed. The meat quality was very low and was undercooked or over cooked. Drinks were overpriced, and they wouldn't even give me a glass of tap water without charging me. At the end they charged me a service fee on my credit card without even telling me. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Do not order their food on uber eats or carry out they either burn the meat or serve it raw no in between

I got a stomach ache after eating from here. I ordered Uber eats so I don't know how the service is, but the food wasn't great. The filet I got was supposed to be medium well, and I got a bunch of pieces in different temperatures. But what was really not good was the mash potatoes. I think they were old.

Disappointing. This was the second time going to this restaurant ( not this location but same company) and I was just as disappointed as the first time. I decided to give it a second chance thinking that since this was a different location and the party was smaller this time, it would be better. Pros: The food was tasty and the service was good enough. Cons: The salad bar selection was limited. The cost for dinner ( which is all day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday ) is $34.99. For the price, it was absolutely not worth it. Drinks not included, desserts not included. Also, it is half the price for kids. Unfortunately, my son is an extremely picky eater and although this is something I am working on daily with him, he won't even try most foods that is not in his circle. He had 2 pieces of cheese and we asked the waiter if he still had to pay, which he did. To make matters worse, I had ordered a piña colada which was tasty but then needed some water. Well, they charge for water. Also, the tip was already included. I left very upset at the over all experience and will absolutely never return. Gave it 2 stars because the protein was tasty and the waiter did a decent job.

First no parking Food bar was okay However first meat was burnt Second was to Raw They are rushing for no reason place was empty Third set was salty Ten min later my family grossed out and with stomach ache Simply horrible only thing that was good was sangria

Food ok but not for price. Few side options. This is an all you can eat steak house for $32. I don't like businesses that surprise you at the bill. I don't mind if Gratuity is built in the price but to make it a mandatory add-on without informing your customers before hand is bad. Also I asked for water and waiter took a bottle water to pour into my glass and charged for it without saying it is extra. I will never come back...
