Note that it costs $3 more to get the sandwich on ciabatta, from the regular $10 on cheese bread. However, we were told that it is also more sizable (see the picture for our order , so we upgraded to share. The textures were all on point. The picanha steak was sooo tender and delicious. They could've run an excellent steakhouse instead! It rests on a little bed of salad made of kale, arugula, and sundried tomatoes. The yucca fries were perfectly fried and crispy on the outside, with a delicious punch of garlic flavor, and they include just enough ketchup for all the fries (at our rate of dip-page . I will say that the sandwich could have used more flavor. We drizzled balsamic vinegar over both the sandwich and the salad (didn't come with any noticeable dressing once we got home, but sorely missed the flavorful, creamy, green sauce we usually get from another local Brazilian establishment. Additionally, although we loved the taste and texture, we thought that the price for the fries is ultimately not worth it. You could get the same bomb flavor from garlic fries at any Super Duper chain, for half the price, and comparable quality. Note that their kitchen closes half an hour earlier than their posted hours! We made the mistake before of coming just a bit under that timeframe and tragically getting turned away. They also have a clean restroom in the back. 5 stars for the textures, assembly, and staff! They can definitely cook well. : That said, due to the distance for us, cost, and general flavors, we will personally probably not be coming back anytime soon. If we lived in the area, the sandwich would make a seriously great occasional meal!
