"The food was not good at all. All meat was well done. Even though I told them everything was overcooked and asked for meat not well done still they brought out well done meat. No pink in any of the steak. Couldn't even cut the pork because it was so hard and dried out. Chicken was also completely dried out. Service was also not good. Won't go back. We told the manager and she only offered $15. Discount."

"I went to Brazil Express last Friday 4/19/24 with 3 family members, it was the first time here for all of us, sadly we were not impressed. I went up to the salad bar which was small, the food looked like it had been sitting in a fridge for quite some time and then pulled out, but I decided to give it a try. From the salad bar I chose the tomato cucumber salad, beets, tilapia ceviche, mushrooms in wine sauce and tabbouleh salad. While I was picking out items by the olives I had accidentally bumped one of the food tongs that they had placed on the ledge and it fell on the floor. There was a server who was a few feet away from me and as soon as he heard the tongs fall he immediately went to pick them up for me. To my surprise he did not take them back to the kitchen and put out a new clean pair, but instead he picked them up off the floor and put them back on the ledge for other patrons to continue using!!! Can we say unsanitary! I went back to my table after that, and put up the meat card. While I waited for them to bring out the meat I decided to start trying what was on my plate. The tomatoes in the cucumber salad were old and soggy, like when they've been pre chopped and refrigerated for at least a day. I moved on to the beets, it's hard to mess up beets right? Wrong, they too also tasted old, and lack the juiciness they normally have. The ceviche had no real flavor other than refrigerator, as for the mushrooms they too were disappointing, they tasted like canned mushrooms that had also been left to sit in a refrigerator. The only thing that was edible was the tabbouleh salad. Moving on to the meats, the first cut of meat I took was the garlic steak, it didn't taste like garlic or any other seasoning for that matter, it was not enjoyable. Next was the top sirloin which was super fatty, so difficult that I struggled to cut through it with a knife, the bits of meat I did manage to get weren't flavorful. Finally to the more enjoyable cuts the filet mignon and the picanha. The filet was a little tougher than other restaurants (I got medium rare for all meats mind you) but was still very flavorful and enjoyable. Moving on to the service, the waitress was very nice, she just wasn't around enough, she would disappear for long periods of time. Everyone at the table was drinking cocktails and we had to request that someone find her on 2 separate occasions as we needed more cocktails throughout the night. The picture I am attaching, I asked for everything on that plate to be taken away by the waitress except the pineapple and everything else was unenjoyable (meats pictured and garlic and top sirloin) I do not plan on going back or recommending to any other family or friends."

"The salad bar is amazing. The food would be amazing if you ever could get it. They servers started off just fine but the visits to our table got less and less until we had to ask for particular foods. It was so bad we never even were given a chance to enjoy the ribs. Our evening got started wrong when. I learned I could not even get a Bloody Mary. That is a pretty basic mixed drink. I have no issue with foreign servers but I really had a hard time understanding our server. Given we were spending $500 for the evening, I really would have expected things to be nicer. Success ruins the best of restaurants. Here is another prime example."

"My wife and I decided to celebrate our 13 year wedding anniversary lunch at Texas De Brazil. Unfortunately, it was a horrible experience. The food was definitely not fresh, the servers did not check in much and there was at least a 12 15 minute gap in between. We raised our concerns to the waiter/servers who apologized but didn't do much to address our complaint. I was really disappointed and it's still upsetting that a great day was spoiled with medicore service. My wife suggested to call and share our experience as we spent $100 but left hungry. Spoke to the manager (I believe his name is Robert) and explained the above he basically questioned why we waited a day to share our experience and proceeded to offer 15% off one dinner if we ever decide to come back. I am a loyal customer who was celebrating a special occasion. I've had numerous dinners and business lunches at this location to be questioned why my feedback was offered a day after my meal yet alone a 15% coupon. Maybe the servers had a meeting at the time we had lunch, or something happened in the back or the meat was still being prepared....it could have been one of many reasons but doesn't change that it did happen...

"If you're looking for a high end place to go out to eat to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just a Friday night, Texas de Brazil is it! Their salad bar area has so many options for sides, veggies, etc. If you like steak, this is THE place to go. All of their meats are delicious, are served to you hot. Each person gets a little coaster that has a red side and a green side. If you want the gauchos to stop at your table to offer you the meat that they're serving, you turn the coaster to green. If you're ready to take a break and eat what you've got on your plate, you turn it to red and they won't bother you. They have a large variety of meats different cuts of beef, lamb, pork, chicken and they're all sliced for you right at the table. Everything is delicious. They do have a long list of wines, spirits, and cocktails as well. All of their desserts I've ever tried have been out of this world! I think the crème brulee is my favorite, but I also really like the Brazilian cheesecake, and had the chocolate mousse cake for the first time last night. I love going to this restaurant for special occasions!"

"The buffet and menu options at this restaurant are fantastic! Every dish is incredibly delicious and expertly prepared by talented chefs. It's the only Asian Fusion restaurant in the area, offering a taste of big city flavors. If you enjoy Asian Fusion cuisine, this is the place to be! The food, including sushi, is always freshly made and full of flavor. My family and I agree that this is the best Asian food in town. The beef and broccoli dish is hands down the most delicious we've ever had, surpassing all others we've tried across different states."

"Excellent Thai food, good price, very friendly staff. I stopped here for lunch on a Monday with my family. We had the place to ourselves and the staff were very friendly. They are a husband and wife from Thailand, they appear to be the only staff (though maybe they have helpers on weekends, I don't know) the wife took our order and also cooked the food. As a result, the wait was longer than at most restaurants. Luckily for us, they have an interesting set of decorations which kept the kids' attention occupied while we waited. The food was really good some of the best Pad Thai I've ever tasted, and I've tried it at many different restaurants. I'm sorry I don't live nearby, or otherwise...read more"

"Most disgusting meal EVER!! We had to wait to get in. Took forever to get a waiter. Got drinks fairly quick. About 10 minuted before he came to take our order. Another 15 minutes to get our salad and soup, then 10 more minutes for our food. It was sloppy. The shrimp were salad size and weren't peeled, the steak was very cheap cut, the mixed vegetables were mostly onion. We got maybe 2 bites of broccoli and 2 slivers of zucchini. The white sauce was so watered down you could have drank it like water!! The service, well it sucked too. After he brought our food he never came back."

"The meat is ambrosial. Every season to perfection. You need to tell the staff how you want to cook your meat and then let the meat coasters guide you from red to green as you are ready to enter in a tasteful trip. The salad bar is very fresh and offers a variety of options that you come for more. The staff offered first-class customer service. Recommend a visit and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere."

"I visited for lunch and really appreciated the smaller portion sizes they offer. The menu has so many options! My friend actually had to remind me to start by choosing my protein—chicken, beef, or shrimp—to help narrow down the choices. I ended up going with the coconut shrimp, which came with large pieces of pineapple, so I didn't get as much shrimp as I had anticipated. Thankfully, the lunch combo included rice and an egg roll, so I certainly had enough to eat. My friends were also very pleased with their meals. I found the service to be excellent. We were seated right away, received our drinks promptly, and the staff checked on us both during the meal and again towards the end. I’m looking forward to coming back to try another dish. Thank you, Royal Pandas!"

"I come here often to celebrate special occasions or when I want to indulge in the different cuts of meat Texas De Brazil offers. Our server, Tubijik was amazing. She was attentive and ensured the cuts of meat we desired came to our table. We also got a pitcher of lime Caipirinha. The pitcher can certainly ensure a party of 4 can have refills or more. One of my favorite items from the salad area was the, Pineapple Carpaccio. It was very good. We ended the night with dessert. Overall for a Sunday afternoon, the food was hot fresh and ambiance was perfect to celebrate my dear friends birthday. You will not be disappointed."

"I'm vegetarian and my wife is vegan. We had been looking for a decent veg/vegan restaurant and came across the Sukho Thai restaurant, which is a short walk from the French Quarter. Wow! We were blown away. They have a full vegan page in their menu and we tried several dishes on two occasions. They were all amazing. Fragrant, fresh and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I would give 5 stars if I could but the app prevents me because they also serve meat. Definitely worth a try if you are in NOLA. Best food in the city."

"texas de Brazil Tampa is one of my favorite restaurants. All the different types of meat and how prepared is excellent. Never waiting on food as the servers are constantly coming to the table with offerings. The management comes to your table to ensure you are happy with the food and service. New offering with selected red wine where they take 1/2 of the bottle and make a great sangria and you can have the other 1/2 to make more sangria, have a glasses of wine or take home. The kitchen master is awesome and came to the table to discuss how meat is prepared an if everything is prefect. It is!"
"I had a reservation at 12:15pm arrived early was promptly seated. It was 25 minutes no gaucho had come to offer any meat. My server came to refill my glass I asked when they would be around to offer meat. The server apologized said he would go see what the issue was. A server came by shortly after dropped off an absolute burnt piece of meat. I advised the server that I had requested medium well the meat on the plate was past well done. Again, he apologizes leaves to go ask for meat prepared to my preference. The manager comes to the table states that she is sorry for the service the meat should be out momentarily. The came out again it was cooked to death, dry burnt. I was beyond mad at this point. The server came to my table I requested my check. He again apologized. The manager brings my check to the table says she took 10% off for the poor service. I show her the burnt meat that was dropped off to me she apologizes says “a couple of people are going to get written up for this”. So i paid almost $60 for a coke, some rice, 2 sausages. Horrible dinning experience is a massive understatement. A total waste of my time my hard earned money."

"Having been to Texas de Brasil before and many chuchasterias in Brazil, I knew what to expect. Salad bar was great. Meats and even shrimp was awesome! We were rather early on a Friday night and only a few tables were full. Unfortunately we were seated right next to the servers station where it was loud and busy. We asked to move tables (there were many many open) and were told no. Meats were delivered fast and furiously. My mom wanted to finish her salad before meat then didn’t get much Desserts were great."

"Wow what a disappointment! As a Texas resident and huge fan from the one time we visited the Dallas restaurant I was excited to find a location in Carlsbad and introduce my family to the wonders of Texas de Brazil. Sadly it started poorly when the hostess refused to seat the 6 of us even after I told her my sister and nephew would be joining us in about 30 minutes. After contemplating a venue change she got her manager’s approval to accommodate us. So we sat and our waiter introduced himself and we asked for water. And then he disappeared for a while, brought us water, then disappeared. After about 15-20 minutes of sitting there I got up and went looking for him to ask if anyone was going to help us and when do we get food. He apologized and said he thought we had been there before because he spoke to my 13 year old autistic son who all are toy told him we had? So I was informed we just needed to go grab plates from the salad bar are to get started. Good to know after sitting around for 20 minutes. Then once we sat there for another 10 minutes the first offering of meat came out. Finally! Only it was well done and not the best intro to what I believe is good quality meat. We would finish our meat and be waiting for a good several to 5 minutes before another offering. It seemed much slower than what I remembered from a previous experience. Once every 5-7 minutes? We definitely were not overwhelmed with food and pretty much ate the entire time. My son and I never turned over our green token and yet got skipped on a couple occasions. Seems like green/red tokens didn’t really matter. We arrived at 7:15 but my 9:30 I had to ask our waiter to bring the check because we had a movie at 10. I asked him how dessert works because I saw other servers going around with a big plate. He just pointed the dessert bar behind me and listed all the desserts and offered to make it to-go. So I ordered one but was surprised to find a charge on my bill! That was never explained to me!"
"We have been here at this location for many occasions and always enjoy it. This time we were there with our two year old toddler and really enjoyed it. They gave us booster and high chair options as soon as we walked up to our table. The service was wonderful and a manager walked to our table making sure they are aware of our preferences. The salad bar never disappoints and we we be back!"
