  6. I'm not a huge meat person, but their meats are cooked so well that even I overdue it : ) The band and the dancers are fun to watch too.
  7. ... the price is reasonable.
  8. We think it's probably the best quality food and about half the price of Fogo de Chao.
  9. have been to many Brazilian restaurants in the U.S. and have paid hefty prices to satisfy my craving for the famous "Churrasco", but no place will have the right ingredients for the perfect gastronomic experience as Gaucho's Village has.
  10. This is THE place to go if you want to try Brazilian BBQ and it's a great value too!
  11. The staff is friendly, the drinks are generous, and the food is fantastic.

BEST PLACE to get a little bit of Brasil!!

by LadyAmor at Citysearch

This is by far the BEST place to get a little taste of Brasil's food and drinks. The samba dancers are wonderful and beautiful! Gauchos's energy/vibe has always been fantastic and every single person there treats you like family!

I have been going to this place for many years and Kevin, the owner, has always made me and my family feel special. The bartenders Soraia and Karina always take special care of me after my dinner at the bar. Mouth watering DELICIOUS drinks! I recommend the Caiperinha and Batida de Coco! Amazing!!!

The Gauchos are constantly rotating every meat they have and the servers are just as nice and at times become the entertainment themselves. It really is a Very fun place!!

The critic "AgoodCritic" obviously wasn't paying close attention when the servers, gauchos, managers and owner converse with one another. The majority there are speaking portuguese and are clearly brazilian!!

Bottom line, thier food, drinks and service are all superb and for reasonable price. For $35 you are getting top quality meats and the salad and hot dishes side bar are just delicious! Thier spinach salad they offer is phenomenal! Like thier signature meat, Picana!! Absolutely delicious!!!

  • Pros: Great great meats, amazing drinks and samba
  • Cons: Not one!!!
