Taurinus Brazilian Steakhouse

Oh man, so good! And this visit was perfect timing, because the beef rib came around 5 minutes after being seated! It does not come around very often, trust me. It's the best meat they offer.

Second best is the top sirloin, which was also very nice. They didn't have a rare piece this time, however, but that's ok.

Chicken wings and pork ribs are delicious!

Shrimp is the next best. Garlicky and well-cooked. Kind of messy since you peel it at the table.

Pineapple is usually very sweet, this time slightly sour, but not their fault.

Other items good, but not as good: parmesan pork, Brazilian sausage, ribeye.

Oh, and can't forget about the multiple servings of cheese bread (pao de queijo). Hard to stop at one!

Didn't even have room for dessert this time. Or salad.

Atmosphere was very nice, the servers were, for the most part attentive. The salad bar was okay but some of the heated foods were cold. The wine selection was very nice, cocktails were decent. The meat selection was very very good. Over all very enjoyable although could use some extra training to servers who skipped some people in our party, reason for 4 stars not 5.

We hit up this restaurant when we were trying to find a nice place to eat near Hyatt House San Jose Airport.

After we stepped in the restaurant, we were immediately happy with the ambience. It's spacious, relatively quiet and they have a large salad bar in the middle.

When we started eating, they offered a variety of meat very quickly. The steaks were pretty juicy, and chicken and lamb were pretty flavourful. The service was great as well. They kept offering different kinds of meat without any repetition while we flipped the card to green.

Towards the end, they offered pineapple and it tasted very delicious. It was fresh and the cinnamon flavour was right on point.

Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Although it might be on a more pricey side, we felt the experience was definitely worth it.

In A Nutshell:

-Taurinus Brazilian Steakhouse is a top-notch restaurant.
-You will enjoy all of the premium meats: sirloin, flap, ribeye, beef ribs (my fave), bacon wrapped chicken, shrimp, lamb, sausage + more.
-The chocolate lava cake is especially delish for dessert, its very rich & big enough to share.
-I like the ambiance & cozy size, not too big or small.
-The salad bar is good too which balances out the yummy meats.

Overall, the staff is very kind & food was mouth-watering!

We were early birds, first to arrive when they opened. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Crowd started to come in around 6-6:30pm. Selection of meats were exquisite and generous. I did not take advantage of their excellent salad bar and side dishes because I wanted to enjoy the meat. Definitely the best Brazilian restaurant in town❤
