The service was great they were very helpful. The food was a little too oily for my liking. The price was decent if you really enjoy eating a lot of meat. I would give this place 6 out of 10.

The restaurant was good ,the food was hot and tasty. We think our server was new because she didn’t explain things to us in regards to the menu and wine list which was frustrating. The guy serving the Rodizio was great. PARKING NEAR THE RESTAURANT WAS HORRIBLE, I circled three times before I got a spot
The Taste of BrazilResponded on April 26, 2025

We’re sorry to hear that the service and parking situation caused some frustration during your visit. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, especially if your server was still learning the ropes. We’ll be sure to use your comments as a coaching opportunity to ensure all team members feel confident guiding our guests through the menu and wine list. As for parking, we’re actively looking into better solutions to help improve that part of the experience. Thanks again for your feedback—we hope to have the chance to welcome you back soon and provide an even smoother visit.

Date night at Taste of Brazil in Newark was AMAZING. Madu our waitress was AWESOME. She was very attentive and helpful. She did everything with a smile 😊. The food was DELICIOUS everything was well cooked and seasoned. The rounds of meat coming around was my favorite part. The meat was cooked to our liking and the staff was amazing. We had an over all great experience. We will be returning very soon.

Overall, it was a nice experience. The salad and sides menu was amazing, the drinks were very good, and the service was excellent. The Rodizio experience was just okay—there weren’t many cuts to choose from, and they kept repeating same meats, chicken, and sausages. Some meats were overcooked, and in two hours, we saw picanha only once, even after asking several times. I'm not sure if I would return unless I start seeing reviews that this has improved. It's unfortunate because the place is nice, they had a great live singer, and, as I mentioned, the service was excellent. Lastly, parking is a bit difficult.

Olá, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the salad and sides, the drinks, and the service.

We’ll definitely be addressing the consistency of our offerings with our team to ensure that guests receive the full experience they deserve. We also appreciate your feedback on parking, and we are always looking for ways to improve convenience for our guests. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a more satisfying experience in the future, and we truly value your input as it helps us get better. Best regards, The Taste of Brazil

I will not recommend this please to anyone, the server only came to are table 1 time & i ask him for the check 3 times and he bought back 20mins later then he never came back to get the money so i got up and paid on the front
The Taste of BrazilResponded on April 24, 2025
Olá, We are truly sorry to hear about the experience you had during your visit. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we deeply regret that you felt neglected. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for the check and have to go to the front to settle your bill. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be reviewing the situation with our team to ensure this does not happen again in the future. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the service and experience you deserve. Best regards, The Taste of Brazil
