I was staying at the Marriott courtyard down the street and needed to fill up my rental car before my flight back to DFW and stumbled on this place. I didn't really know what to expect because the name is pretty generic but when I came in I was greeted by the culture of Brazil. Friendly and courteous staff really put my mind at ease with the unfamiliarity. I ordered the #8 special. Don't ask me how to pronounce it because I won't be able to but it was great. It's a huge portion of meat with a great sauce that covers it. I would suggest one plate for two people because I couldn't finish it. I was pleasantly surprised. I would come back next time I fly back in.

The parking wasn't ideal and upon walking in you're met with a large space and seat yourself. The staff were fast and attentive. The food, absolutely impeccable. I ordered "pork cubes with rice" and received a side of bread along with it. Definitely too much food for a solo person but I definitely recommend coming here. The ambiance was giving "Spanish cuisine" instead of diner but overall really good

Met a friend for breakfast. Everything was fresh and hot. I enjoyed the food and service. Only thing that was bad was parking. I had to drive around a couple times before finding parking. Definitely will return.
