Santa Picanha

This is a great addition to the Lafayette food scene. We shared the sampler platter, and its a great way to get to know the food here. The meats were all juicy and very good. The croquettes were excellent as well. Great atmosphere, and they fixed the place up nicely. Five stars. We'll done!

Went on Friday night for dinner with a reservation. A few groups tried to walk in while we ate but were turned away because the dining area was maxed out, so I recommend getting a res for weekend dinner. It's a pretty small and intimate dining room. I love that you can see the chefs preparing the food right behind the counter. The flank steak was perfectly grilled and marinated. The cod bacalao special was excellent. Can't wait to have a nice glass of red wine to pair with my steam once they get alcohol license - currently BYOB til then.

Amazing place to try the real Brazilian barbecue! You will love it.

Wonderful restaurant Downtown in Lafayette! I went once so far for lunch. The lunch menu is great, affordable but filling, and most importantly very authentic. The ingredients were well selected and the meet cooked perfectly. I have to try the rest, but I am looking forward to a great experience. And it is nice that one can bring your own wine, which definitively add value to the place!

Take out portions were so insanely small that I had to pray. Here are the rankings: 1) Picanha (8oz): Ordered medium well and got rare. VERY tender but lacked flavor. I should have weighed it because it didn’t spiritually feel like 8oz. 2) Croquettes de Picanha: Not sure how many per order you’re supposed to get, but we got 3. 3 of those guys…$10….it was very delicious, but the PRICE? 3) Coxinha: Also got 3 of these for $10. Again, tiny. Also, it was put in the same take out container as the Croquettes de Picanha. BUT! Was also delicious. The sauce was really good as well and saved me until it ran out. 4) Salsichão (with extra link): What is this. Be so fr rn. It tastes okay. Another victim of criminally small portion size. 5) Garlic Bread: Garlicky. Yum. Good size. 6) Black Beans: Better
