About By Brazil Restaurant - steak house in Torrance, California

Vibrant spot for set-price Brazilian grilled meat, salad bar selections & caipirinhas.

Customer Review Summary

By Brazil Restaurant has received mixed reviews. Customers appreciate the variety and quality of meats offered, along with a salad bar that allows unlimited visits. The roasted pineapple with cinnamon is a highlight, and many praised the attentive server who ensures guests have plenty of food. However, criticism arises regarding the limited non-beef and pork options, long waits for specific items, and inconsistent service across tables. Takeout experiences were particularly disappointing, with reports of dry meat and salty sides, and a decline in value for the price paid. The restaurant lacks air conditioning, and closing hours in the middle of the day can be inconvenient. Overall, while some customers find it a hidden gem with excellent food and service, others express dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the dining experience.

They need to make more non beef and pork options readily available! Everyone pays the same price for food. For anybody to have to wait a 1/2 hour for chicken is ridiculous. Also, everyone should be offered the same options at all tables. I don't care how close it is to closing time. I had to ask for something I saw at another table and was never offered another item I saw at other tables. Wait staff also needs to work more. I had to get up and fill my own glass.

Walk in and talk to the hostess, who will take you to your seat. We came at 4:30pm on a Saturday. No reservation or wait, we were seated immediately. There is a salad bar that you can visit an unlimited number of times. Servers will come to your table with skewers of different meats! There were hardly any repeats in the time we were there. Each one I tried was cooked to perfection. They also had a pineapple on a skewer, which was a welcome surprise! After your meal, they also provide a small complementary coffee. Would definitely go back!

By Brazil lives up to all the hype and I am highly impressed. I went for the lunch buffet and enjoyed all the meats presented. First time having roasted pineapple with cinnamon and brown sugar infused, locals next to me told me it’s great after eating all the meat for the palette. I would definitely come back again to eat at this churrascaria.

Am going to be completely honest is not 100% Basil food it’s just rice, chess bread and pieces of meat every 10min and the crazy part is 50$ per plate 😩😩

We grabbed food to go around 1 PM on a weekday and it was popping. They used to let you fill up the boxes yourself but now they pack if for you so you don't have as much options for the sides anymore. Was disappointed by the flavors and maybe we were getting the last pieces as lunch was over soon :( Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - BBQ to go with side of plantains. Unfortunately the chicken and pork were really dry and the beans were salty. Ambience: NA - got food to go Service: 2/5 - lady told us to wait a moment and never got back to us. After 15 minutes, we asked the server at the front for assistance and he asked us to wait and walked off. After around 3 minutes she came back to assist and gave us a menu to look over. Value for price: 3/5 - price has gone up and the food isn't as good. Amount of food has decreased heavily as well

Ok, this place is literally a hidden gem. First flavor, Everything is delicious, the variety of food is amazing and everything is cooked to perfection from the beast dragon off the rice and beans and a great variety of steak cuts. Second, Is the service, the person bringing you the meat is super friendly and he’s always making sure you have something on your plate, and it’s something that you really want. Third is the value it’s for the least expensive Brazilian steakhouse for the amount of food you get in the quality of food. If I could give this place six dollars I would.

The place is awesome and the food is really good. They offer different cuts of meat, different types of meat and everything is very good. The choices at the buffet are also pretty solid. A few tips. We came on a hot day and they don’t have AC, just ventilators. When you take grilled pineapple, the waiter interprets is as if you were done and brings you the check. Maybe it’s a standard practice, but I didn’t know it. So if you plan on keeping on eating, don’t accept grilled pineapple.

Food was pretty good (average), everyone working there was really nice and I enjoyed my time. I consider this to be a casual restaurant where you go with family on sundays kind of thing or friends after school. The one thing that would keep me from coming back is that they close in between the day so you have to be aware of what time it is and all of that.
