I am Brazilian and have been a regular at São Paulo's since moving back to Austin last January. The food is mostly good, though inconsistent, but the issue here is definitely the service. As someone who has worked in restaurants since I was 12 years old up until recently, I am understanding of the demands of the job and always leave at least a 20% tip.

The night before Valentine's Day my boyfriend took me to dinner here to celebrate, and our waiter (the chubby, middle-aged man with glasses who is always there) was not only unresponsive but outright rude to us throughout the night,...

The food is good, however, it's not authentic Bahia/ Rio/ or even Paulista style South American cuisine. The Feijoada is good...Moqueca Bahiana has the right name, yet it is close...but no cigar, (even local Brazilaras make...

This campus-area mainstay attracts graduate students galore with an "affordable" array of Brazilian specialties (peppered with a few Tex-Mex dishes) and "great happy-hour cocktails"; "friendly" service and live entertainment on weekends help most overlook the "tired decor."
