Cafe Brazil has several locations, and the original is on Central Expressway at Mockingbird. When it comes to local popular chains, the original is usually the best (as in this case), but the Richardson location offers some benefits of its own. First of all, this location is not open 24 hours like the original location. On the weekdays, it's open until midnight, and on the weekends (Friday night through Sunday night) it's open 24 hours. The Mockingbird location is usually always crowded, which may appeal to social people who want to see everyone and be at a busy place. The Richardson location is almost never crowded and you'll almost always get seated right away, which is good for people who don't want the hassle of a wait. Both locations have indoor and outdoor seating, and their menu is identical. The quality of the food is pretty much the same. I honestly haven't had anything bad on their menu at either location, but my personal favorites (which seem to be popular with others as well) are chips & queso or artichoke spinach dip for appetizer, any of the quesadillas with sweet potatoes or any chicken dish for entree, and the pancrepes or the french toast for dessert. They also have a large variety of their own gourmet coffee if you're into that. Overall, I highly recommend Cafe Brazil at both the Mockingbird location for a more exciting atmosphere and at Richardson for low-key (and more convenient if in North Dallas) late-night dining.

Both places have pretty good service, but I would say the service is better in Richardson probably because they are able to take their time. It always seems that the servers are pretty rushed at the Mockingbird location, but if you're out with friends late at night you probably won't even notice.

I love eating here. It has a nice atmosphere, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicous. I typically order the migas, which is a traditional meal of eggs, tortilla strips, and I can't remember what else. It's delicous, hot and fast. They serve their breakfast menu all the time. They also have a nice selection of coffees and teas.
