Fodor's Review:

It's easy to overlook this Brazilian restaurant because of its generic, unimpressive exterior—but make no mistake, it's the best steak restaurant in the Zona Hotelera. The waiters here walk among the tables carrying different mouthwatering meats that have been slow-cooked over charcoal on skewers (beside Angus beef, there are also cuts of pork, chicken, and sausages, as well as crocodile, ostrich, and quail meat). Simply point out what you'd like; the waiters slice it directly onto your plate. Obviously, if you are not a true carnivore, you won't be happy here.

For a fixed price, you get to go through a buffet and get steak fries, followed by a never-ending wave of savory meats. It's not the cheapest place ever, but it's worth it if you save room.

A little off of the beaten path of the hotels (about a 15 minute cab ride), but worth the trip. Super succulent meats are cooked to perfection. I was full after the fourth type (there are twelve!!). There is a seafood and salad buffet which is fabulous, and great if your dinner date is a non-meat-eater. The service was better than any NY restaurant that I have been to! You will leave this restaurant full and very satisfied!!
