"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."

"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!"
