One might find it a stretch to feel anything like Brazilian in this Cheesecake Factory-like environ along Excelsior Boulevard but they make an attempt. Mojito is the concentrated rum and fruit drink that will make you drop all inhabitions and quite-possibly find you standing on the table with your pants around your ankles if your not careful while vacationing in Rio. But you won't find scenes like that happening too much in St. Louis Park where instead you might find diners who keep their parkas on during dinner.
Strolling gauchos come to your table and carve endless portions of churrasco-grilled meat ($32.95 for all you can eat). A Sunday brunch rodizio consists of the gauchos and their meat but add potatoes, eggs scrambled and juice at a more affordable price. Latin dishes include carnitas, empandas and fejoada that you might like to chase with sangria. One member in our party had a lackluster crabcake with sauce but I had a delicious seafood stew. Deserts were delicious especially the passion fruit mousse.
