Fodor's Review:

Terrific meaty entrées from Brazil's Minas Gerais region fill the menu, including a fine mixed grill and a couple of fish stews from the neighboring province of Bahia. This little place also turns out a great version of the fried yucca appetizer called mandioca. The decor is basic travel posters, but the down-home cooking itself could almost transport you to Brazil. Live Brazilian music adds further ambience on weekends.

Funky little Brazilian comfort food place, one of the few non-rodizio spots that's relatively easy to find. Certainly not bad for what it is. Please note that this place is in fact several blocks walk from the Harvard Street stop on the B branch of the Green Line in Allston, and utterly nowhere near Harvard Square in Cambridge. Best to take a bus here.
