Rio Churrascaría Steak House

Rio Churrascaría Steak House Review

It's easy to overlook this Brazilian restaurant because of its generic, unimpressive exterior—but make no mistake, it's one of the best steak houses in the Zona Hotelera. The waiters here walk among the tables carrying different mouthwatering meats that have been slow-cooked over charcoal on skewers. Besides Angus beef, there are also cuts of pork and chicken, as well as crocodile, ostrich, buffalo, and quail. Simply point out what you'd like; the waiters slice it directly onto your plate. If you are not a true carnivore, there's an all-you-can-eat salad bar and refreshing caipirinhas (made with Brazilian rum and lime) to keep you happy.

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!!
