The many types of excellent grilled meats brought to our table made this a delicious and fun evening. They give you small samples but you can have as many as you want and it was quite an experience tasting all the different cuts of beef. They also offered chicken and pork chops but beef from Brazil was the main meat. Pricy but definitely worth it for special occasions or for beef lovers. As everyone says, don’t fill up on the salad bar but it is hard to resist with so many offerings. The waitstaff were very attentive and the servers offered great info.

We were seated promptly and our drink rders were promptly taken. However I hadto flag down a server to take our food order. At the time, a Monday evening, the restaurant was not busy with only a few tables occupied. Also, the booth seat I sat on was worn out. This resulted in back strain.

Solid “elevated” menu of Mexican cuisine favorites. The potato tacos were excellent as well as “El Govenador” shrimp tacos. The potato nachos with steak and elote were also very tasty. Nice creative cocktail list. A definite go back!

Great service and super accommodating. There were only 2 servers running the whole dining area on a busy Sunday night. One of them was Angie and the I couldn't recall the other server's name; they were really attentive to my party's needs. The food was amazing too. The fish tasted fresh in the sashimi and the rolls and the rose tteokbokki was so good. 10/10 for excellent servers and staff, great food, and great vibes. Will be back soon !
