We'd never been to a Brazilian BBQ restaurant and decided to try Texas de Brazil during Denver Restaurant Week. We were seated fairly quickly since we had reservations, but then the chaos started. The tables were all crammed extremely close together, so it's basically one-way only when you're trying to walk around. I was pretty impressed with the food. I'd agree with other reviews that it was salty, but that's the way I like it. However, it took me a good 15-20 minutes just to make 1 trip around the salad/side bar. It was extremely unorganized, with people just jumping in anywhere and taking a lot of time in selecting their food. By the time I finished, anything warm that I had went cold. We never had too many problems getting the meat carvers to come to our table, but our waiter was pretty slow in bring drinks. Serving soda with ice in a wine glass is a sure way to run out of your beverage fairly quickly, particularly with the saltiness of the meat. Overall, I thought the food was really good, but didn't enjoy having to wait so long and being herded like a bunch of cattle to get our salad and side dishes. I think we'll try Rhodezio Grill first before we decide to go back to Texas de Brazil.
Pros: Good food and good selection
Cons: Crowds and service
