Boteco Restaurant

I’m from California came here while on business and food is fantastic from the yuca to the steak. Sergio was great. For my first time eating Brazilian food this place was a great experience…

We stopped by for lunch and the place was empty. We gave it a try anyway and it was a good experience. Servers are all Brazilian and greet you in Portuguese, I don’t know if they do it because it’s a thing they have as company policy or because they assume you’re Brazilian too. Service was OK, no complaints. Food is good, nothing extraordinary but definitely much better than Camilas or any other Brazilian rip off in Orlando. Will keep it in our list for our next trip to Orlando.

Chicken dry and lunch special steak not quality meat. Almost all gristle and a few good bites at best. Service was good food not so much. Won’t eat here again.

Great steaks! Great service! The food was tasty, the portions were big, the prices were good, and everything was clean.

5 stars for customer service. waiter was very nice and welcoming. I ordered the picahna .very tender but bland. The fried yuca was delicious. I may return again to try a different steak.

I’ve been to quite a few authentic Brazilian restaurants, but this is by far one of the very best! We highly recommend the cheese bread & sauce, & my steak & eggs were perfect! The empanadas were fantastic — and definitely try the Bananas Foster! Incredible! Ask for Sergio!

I asked for medium but it was fully cooked… but it’s close to outlet

The food was good for the most part. Wish my fried chicken would’ve had more flavor or the yucca fries come with a dipping sauce.
The food came out fast but the server s aren’t very friendly and they made us feel so uncomfortable for asking questions about the menu. Didn’t like their attitude. But the ambiance was soothing, relaxing music, spacious.

I don’t normally review anything but the food is really good. I would highly recommend it.

My date and I walked in here for lunch, not expecting much but we saw the sign that said «$ 9.95 steak lunch»… OKAYYYYYY!!! :) we can’t turn that down.
We walked in and our first impression was dang this place was pretty nice. It was in a very casual looking plaza with a bunch of outlet gift stores and so we did expect it to be kind of janky, but it was not at all.
Our waiter didn’t speak English super fluently but that didn’t stop his service from being awesome :).
My date and I both got their steak special, I had salad for the side and he had rice and beans. The steak came out and the size was decent for $ 10 and let me tell you… after cutting into my steak and consuming the first bite, I had to take a moment breathe and to think about if I wanted to order 2 more of this fabulous and amazing steak because it tasted like heaven.
For $ 10, it was one of the best flavored and seasoned and cooked steak I had ever had and I am so glad we stopped by here.
I recommend the steak to everyone!

We’ve dined at Boteco about four times since moving to Orlando in the Fall of 2015. In general, the place is great — good bar, excellent Brazilian fare and great desserts. We are big fans of the pasteis (empanadas), the fritas de mandioca (yuca fries), and the picanha. We mostly come in at the end of the night (they close at 10:45), order a tableful of petiscos (appetizers) and have received prompt and attentive service, even after 10:30, in English and in Portuguese. I would award Boteco five stars were it not for my last visit there — at 2:00 PM on what must’ve been a «bad day». It was raining out. Waitstaff was scarce. Service was slow (10 minutes to get a waiter’s attention and an additional 20 to be served). To top things off, they substituted Devassa beer with Itapaiva (both Brazilian, both decent, but I really wanted Devassa). But the food was still good, so I’ll be back, just after dark.

Very impressed with this restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Plantains, empanadas, steak, shrimp skewers, and the black beans were fantastic.

Impressed. And to think that I had drove around this place and not eat here before. What a mistake. This place is very good. And I was scared because of the other reviews about the bad attention. I went this past Sunday and only saw great waiters working and it was full and did not had to wait much for my food. I recommend the skirt steak and the gratin steak I believe it was called. Wow, very tasty, a little salty at the very bottom, but almost perfect and the cheese bread and the passion fruit mousse mmmm. I’ll be back.

Stopped to Boteca for lunch after shopping at the outlets and before catching our flight. What a great find! The codfish empanadas were a little salty but still delicious. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my husband had the beef gratin both were fantastic. We will be back if we get back to Orlando soon.

I went outlet shopping in Orlando and was looking to eat dinner outside of the food court food offered at the outlet. I Unilocaled a place and Boteco came up so I decided to walk over. (Boteco is walking distance from the International Outlet). It was Friday night and the restaurant was super empty, which I thought was weird. But, I was hungry and tired so I decided to go in. I got seated right away and our waitress came over to ask about our drink order promptly. The menu was huge, so I decided to ask the waitress for recommendation. I decided to try the following:
1. Cheese Bread: These were so delicious! It was crispy and flaky with the right amount of cheese in the bread. Definitely a must-​try item.
2. Brazilian Fried Chicken: This dish was also very delicious. The fried chicken was fried just right. The chicken was also very tender in the inside. It was also not too greasy, which was a plus. Also, the had fried garlic on the dish, which I thought was unique and pretty tasty.
3. Top sirloin and fries: This was a little disappointing to me. The sirloin tasted a little overcooked and chewy. The fries that came with the dish was very good.
Overall, I would come back to this place again. I also want to give props to our waitress, who was super nice and helpful. She gave us great service. I did not park here as I walked over from the outlet. But, there was plenty of parking as this restaurant is located in a strip mall.

Fine find! The Brazilian food was sooooo good! The steak was so tasty and the special sauce was perfect. The shrimp was a good size, plantains were delicious and the yucca was yummy. Great service and the atmosphere was comfortable. So happy we found this place!!!

We went as we saw this place on an infomercial in our hotel room and since we love caipirinhas and Picanha we said why not… the place doesn’t really feel like a brazilian boteco but it was nice, clean and modern.
We had two caipirinhas each the first one was a bit too sweet but we told our waiter and they made the second one better. We ate coxinha de frango and a picanha they were both really good and our waitor was really nice and helpful. We would definitely come back next time we are in Orlando.

Hubby and I went for a quick «snack» before our movie started and we ended up with an appetizer called «Sirloin and fries» to share. It was enough for the both of us.

I walked in asking for a coffee, because I craved coffee and Starbucks was a long ways off. The warm staff made me comfortable and made sure my caffeine fix was taken care of!
I’m now waiting to have their famous YUCCA beef dish :-). They have a live band playing very fun, active music. Overall, a great little hidden restaurant on International drive!

Smilng people serve here and eat here. Why, because the food makes your heart happy so the cook must be great to work around cause you can taste the love in the preperation of everything we were served. Brazilian food has always been famous in this area of Orlando but this place would be hard to beat!
