Food slapped, tasty & divine. The inside decor is nice. Empanadas were divine. Margaritas were weak.

Probably the best Colombian food I've had in a while. The seasoning on the steak was SPOT on. The plate was very generous and just cooked to perfection. This Brazilian girl couldn't be happier about the rice and beans too. I highly, highly recommend.

This place was amazing. I would definitely recommend. Menu: If you like to eat meat this place will not disappoint. I ate six different meats and could have more if I want. They have tons of options. In addition the buffet has a good variety of fruits and vegetables. I enjoyed my steaks with some grapes and kiwi. Atmosphere: Could be done a bit better as the buffet tables throw it off a bit. Not docking any stars as it was a minor issue at worst. Staff: Amazingly friend and helpful. Completely possible staff was actually Brazilian as they spoke with an accent but that didn't stop them from providing great service. I felt that the guy serving me food was actually concerned with making sure I had enough to eat. As I was wrapping up, he came to my table and offered some grilled pineapple, which was delicious. Next time I'm in the Boston area I'm coming back!

This place is a must visit for those looking for food that's reminiscent of a family bbq but without the fear of running out of food. The selection of meat is endless and the quality is on point. We went while a promotion was in effect and it was well worth it (9.99 w/o the bbq meat and 14.00 with). Once you stuff yourself with food they have dessert that you can purchase separately that is also well worth the extra spend. This place is definitely on my short list of places to pig out!

Best Brazilian food in Boston! The BBQ is not over salted and the buffet table has a great variety. You can purchase by the weight so it can be really cheap. However their all you can eat special is only $9.99 so it's not expensive anyways. Do not go to one of the "fancy" Brazilian restaurants because they are overpriced and won't be as good. I don't work here, just an average guy who has been too many Brazilian restaurants all over Massachusetts and beyond.

Great food for a very reasonable price (they're having a promotion where it's only $9.99 instead of the normal $25 for all you can eat). The restaurant is a bit small, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. I tried fried yuca for the first time which was pleasantly like an oversized French fry. Brazilian fried plantains are different than regular ones I've had in the past, they're sweeter and the shape is more like its normal banana-esque one, rather than a semi flat patty. The French fries (yes there was a lot of fried food) were fantastic. Light, crispy, and flavorful. The refried beans were just okay, but the freshly skewered steak was so juicy and tender, I can't recommend it enough. I think the best part of the even though, surprisingly, was the coconut smoothie. It was so sweet and creamy...It was the perfect coconut drink. I can't say I'm going to come back super often because I'd probably gain 50 pounds, but I WILL be back.
