I have been to Brazzas, I liked it, good food, no arguing that, But like the other restaurants that claim to be Brazilian, they are not. Just becuase it uses some methodes of the cooking stages as brazilian and Poruguese people do, and carry Cachaca Caipirinha, does not make them a BRAZILIAN restuarant!! \r

The are merely showing you a very small fraction of what to expect if you go to Brazil. I am speaking like this becuase I am from Brazil, and ate at true brazilian restaurants in Modesto, CA. where brazilians and Portuguese People are abundant. SoWE know how to cook and know what we are talking about. NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG, THE FOOD THEY PREPARE IS GOOD. And, lets just say that, but brazilian, NO! And please, don't get fooled if they throw a brazilian staff member or two to make it look authentic. If you want to truly eat GOOD brazilian dishes, visit any web sites that carry the recipies, or meet some brazilian friends, or go to the few Brazilian stores in The Chicagoland area, and buy the meats there, or any other Brazilian products. I'm sure that the folks at one of these stores would GLADLY give you pointers.\r

Try to understand, if you go there, expect GOOD service, nice ambience, and good food, just NOT the authentic style you intend on getting. Like I said, I am from Brazil, my mother owned a Churrascaria in Itajai, Santa Catarina. We know Brazilian food 100%. \r

And just to WARN you!! ""Texas De Brazil"", another Downtown ""Brazilian"" Restaurant is a little below average when it comes to this review also. I mean come on...Brazil and TEXAS!!? FOGO DE CHAO, is somewhat better, BUT I still would recommend the Brazilian stores.\r
