“We dined on September 4, 2026. The food at Avenida Brazil is really good. I will absolutely go back. We went during Houston Restaurant Week and took advantage of the special - and I'm glad we did because the quality was there. A couple of things to know going in, especially if you're on a budget, which most of us are in this economy: Our waiter Felipe acknowledged the restaurant week special but then brought over a second meat card for the table - different from the one included in our special - without really explaining what it was for. I caught it and kept ours flipped down, but if you're not paying attention that could cost you extra. Also, the guys serving the meat would offer meat outside of the special and still come over even when our card was flipped to say we were done. My husband wasn't a fan of that. Just be mindful. There's valet out front but parking in the back is free. The problem is there's no signage telling you that. The valet guy was genuinely kind though. When we asked he informed us. He also opened my door going into the restaurant and my door again on the truck when my husband pulled the truck around. We were on a budget that night and I genuinely wished I had cash for him because he earned a tip without being asked. He didn't ignore us because we did not have the budget for Valet. I will come back for celebrations and special occasions. Even for their specials. It's a great place overall. You just have to know how to navigate it.“
