“ Absolutely amazing food, incredibly warm and attentive customer service, and an atmosphere that instantly transports you to the heart of Brazil. Every detail -- from the flavors to the music -- made the experience unforgettable! ”
“ The Picanha here is sooooo gooood! It was so much that we brought it to go as well. It was my first time trying stroganoff, it was good but it wasn't a favorite of mine. My Brazilian coworkers love stroganoff so I think it was just a me problem. They have a full bar here with Caiprinhas and other beverages. The service was really good, everyone was so kind and helpful. The food took quite some time to arrive but the picanha was worth the wait for sure. Great ambiance too! ”
“ Had a really stand out lunch here when I was on vacation. Low key profile with a giant projector screen (they were watching sports when I was there) and friendly servers, it's a chill and laid back kind of place. Admittedly I haven't had too much experience with Brazilian cuisine but every time I get a chance to try more I take it. Boteco was definitely another great foray into the land of cassava flour. I highly recommend the Escondidinho de Camaro appetizer -- a beautiful mix of mashed yucca, gooey cheese and shrimp with delicate and flavorful spice. For an appetizer it's incredibly rich but oh so amazing. Then I had the Shrimp Bobo for an entree, which wasn't too unsimilar but much less heavy and also succulent and delicious. Brazil is the original flavortown. Would absolutely come back next time I'm in town. ”
“ I recently had the opportunity to enjoy lunch at Boteco with a relative from Brazil. She was excited to show me some Brazilian cuisine, and Boteco did not disappoint. We were seated in a booth with plenty of space to park a stroller at the end. Since my dining companion spoke Portuguese, we were served by Portuguese speaking staff, but there were also staff who spoke English. I started my meal with the beef jerky pasteis which were definitely a highlight. I also enjoyed a well made caipirinha. For my main, I had the sanduiche de picanha which was a nice mix of familiar and unique. It was very large, and I ended up eating the picanha with a fork since I couldn't finish the whole thing! I also had the opportunity to try the feijoada which was excellent, and I would definitely order it next time. I'd recommend Boteco for a casual Brazilian lunch, whether you are Brazilian yourself or just interested in trying a new cuisine! ”
“ This place was delicious. We were staying at the Townplace Suites around the corner and found this place via Yelp. It was delicious. Everything was very fresh. The steak was cooked perfect. Also, everyone was very friendly. ”
