Waited over an hour after ordering 2 sandwiches. The fried chicken sandwich was an old stale chicken tender ripped in half on a bun with a piece of lettuce on it. The “picanha” was served on a hamburger bun with a few pieces of ground beef on it and the the fries were so old and overcooked we basically had to throw the whole thing out. **edit: owner responded and I am updating review to 2 stars instead of 1 but I can’t describe to you how different the food we were served is from these photos. The buns, fries, meat, and ingredients are all different from other reviews on here. Maybe they were so busy this day they just had to start using completely different ingredients. Either way, hope this helps.
I got the picanha sandwich, and even though this isn’t really a common Brazilian dish (besides the picanha itself), it somehow tasted super Brazilian. I’m pretty sure it’s their sauce. As a Brazilian, I loved the nostalgic feeling that hit me on the first bite. Now I’m definitely curious to try their plates
Tried the picanha. Super nice staff and fresh bread, but somehow doesn't have much flavor. It was pretty bland and needs some spice, or more seasoning or peppers. Not a lot going on here flavor wise. Spicy Mayo worked well with fries, but the fries weren't seasoned or crispy. Tried to send them feedback privately but their websites down. Hope they dial that in at this location because the staff was really nice and Ani's is a great spot.
Cannot stress enough how amazing the picana here is the sandwich is incredible and the service is perfect. He took the extra steps to make a picana stick , no seasoning and specially plated for my dog. We both loved it , 11/10 will be back
Located just outside of Ani’s Day & Night, this food truck will amaze you with their menu. First of all, the environment and ambiance is super cool since it’s surrounded by Ani’s chill vibe… there’s wooden tables for you to sit and enjoy your food and at night it’s lighting is so cozy. I tried the meat empanada and it was fantastic… like a party of flavor in your mouth (juicy and tasteful) with fries and guaraná (Brazilian soda). Don’t let yourselves be discouraged to come and try their food just because of some bad reviews. The owners are such great people with great vibes and they’ll go the extra mile to give you a great experience. Truly, Brazilians at its finest.
I used to love Espadas de Brazil, however I understand the ownership changed hands and how the quality has gone completely down hill. The picanah sandwich and the fries I had were frankly bad and embarrassing. The sandwich didn't used to have onions, or if it did not nearly as large as this sandwich had. The cheese has changed and isn't as good either. Ratios were completely off. The fries were different (no longer crinkle cut) and tasted like they were fried in old and bad oil. Had a bad aftertaste. Cannot recommend.
Food was ok.. expected more, I guess.. we were hungry after a softball tournament.. it did the job..
The food is excellent and the service is even better! Truly authentic Brazilian food, but any Austinite will enjoy it! Low-key outdoor seating makes for an enjoyable weekday dinner or a quick but delicious weekend meal. Personal recommendation for the Gaucho plate and the lime Caipirinha. Don't be fooled by the "hole-in-the-wall" first glance impression--the food is stellar!
