I tried the Pao de Queijo, which are Brazilian freshly baked bread and cheese rolls with mozzarella. I would give it a 9 out of 10; it was very tasty and had a fusion of flavors. However, I found it to be a bit pricey for the small serving size. The ambiance was enhanced by the arts on the lights, painted walls, and music, creating a complete theme of South American food and culture.

The décor had an industrial feel with a touch of South American charm. Our waitress, although not overly welcoming, presented the menu in a proficient manner. The food, on the other hand, was delightful. The unique flavors tantalized our taste buds and satisfied our hunger. We enjoyed a tangy salad and a combination platter of chicken, strip steak, and blood sausage served with brown rice and beans. The delicious offerings took us by surprise, and we plan to return soon with our family.

This time I went back and ordered the ones which I liked before and some which I have not tried on my first visit. Old ones which I liked: The Peruano chicken which was still good as usual but the serving was smaller than our first visit. The desmechado was still good but I appreciated it more this time because there was enough meat in it. The cobb salad is still good. This time too, the serving was much bigger.New ones that we ordered: the tacos were really good. We ordered 2 more times. The steak was good also though a bit pricey for the serving size. I prefer this over the Bandeja Paisa. Their cocktails are perfect as well.Service was good as always. There was an event inside that night but they were able to segregate the walk-in guests so they could take care of us well. It was a bit loud and noisy because of the party but we were almost finished by the time it started so it was not a big problem for us.Bottomline: I will come back but I wish they would standardized their serving size. It would help also if their prices are a bit lower.
