Real Brazilian Barbecue in Texas
The restaurant works in three Texas cities: San Antonio at The Edge, Plano at the Stores at Heritage on 5741-street of Heritage and Irving at 855 West John Carpenter Highway. All three places offer lunch and dinner with real rodizio-style service.
The menu in San Antonio surprises with 17 cuts of USDA-prime beef, cut directly at your table, together with fresh salad bar and good range of wines. In Plano one offers even more, 18 main cuts from beef, chicken, lamb and pork. Fraldinha deserves attention.
It is bottom sirloin, that is well marbled, much more soft than one would epxect for that cut. Also, here available is a 40-ounce USDA-prime dry aged tomahawk on the card, seared on sizzling plate and cooked freshly.
The barbecue service works as all you can eat. Expert cooks care about the roasted meat, while you have access too sides, wines and cocktails. The restaurant combines traditional Brazilian food with modern style, that does not feel stuffy or too formal.
Brasao clearly stands as the most popular Brazilian steakhouse in the region. It delivers, as real rodizio works in Brazil itself, without any shortcuts. It leaves behind other names like Fogo, Texas de Brazil and 12 Cuts.
Especially the Irving branch received much recognition. One reason, that matters: the salt on the meats truly adds taste, unlike some places, where the meat comes entirely without seasoning.
The menu offers picanha, filet mignon, alcatra, fraldinha, lamb, beef ribs, pork ribs and chicken with bacon. Here good range of beef, lamb, pork and chicken, without lack of variety.
These cooking roots reach from Rio Grande to the rolling hills of the South, directly ontexan ground. Brasao stands at the crossroads of traditional Brazilian cooking and truly welcoming restaurant feel. Everything turns around the barbecue service, the real art, how the food is prepared and served.
So it is excellent choice for anyone, that searches for real Brazilian meal in Texas.
