What People Are Saying About Espetus Churrascaria

The flavors of Brazil come alive at EspetuS with San Francisco's very first Rodizio Style restaurant. The concept is simple: serve the meat straight from the fire on which it was cooked so that the flavor, temperature and texture are perfect. In the Brazilian Language, EspetuS means skewer. In a traditional churrascaria (shoo-ras-ka-ria), meat is cooked on skewers over an open fire and brought straight to the table where it is carved directly onto your plate. For one set price, you will experience one or all of our succulent cuts of meat, continuously served until you are finished eating.…

The Scene – With lilting Brazilian music, a server walking around with a big carving knife, and giant skewers of fire-cooked meat, diners are in for something different at this authentic Brazilian barbecue. Amber lighting and a festive din further enhance the atmosphere in the sleek, hardwood-floored space. – – The Food – Eating churrascaria style is definitely an event. Diners use a little metal wheel to signal green ("Bring more meat") or red ("We must pause or we will explode"). There are 10 kinds of meat carved tableside. Highlights include tender, salt-rubbed top…

Awesome!
by a12i17e
If you love meat, this is the place for you. All of the meat, chicken, pork, lamb, and shrimp selections were tender, juicy, and had the right amount of seasoning (the shrimp especially). The salad bar had a nice selection of veggies and beans and includes salmon. They also have a long list of desserts (didn't really care for the the Tres Leches cake though). As previously mentioned, our bill was astronomical as well. It's $49.50 per person for dinner. Thank god they didn't charge for my 6 year old.
- Pros: Excellent service, great selection of meats & poultry.
- Cons: Double P's-Price&Parking

Reminded me of being in Rio! Great atmosphere, and customer service
by steve2472
The food tasted great, it was seasoned great, and the service was fantastic. The first time I ever had gone to a Churrascaria was 15 years ago in Rio -- the food and experience was awesome! Espetus brought me back there. I strongly recommend taking family and friends.
- Pros: Service, and food quality, and taste
- Cons: Can't think of one at this time

Exelent food whit great smiles
by Weldera
As a Brazilian, I have being to several "Churrascarias" before. In Brazil and in few cities of America. What I want when I come to a "rodizio" it`s a good variety of tropical Brazilian salads and some of it`s unique culinary dishes and all the tender and juicy at it`s flavor meat, good meat. How about a friendly, welcome whit a great smile in an ambiance of happiness. After a long day at work or a long weak, I, for sure, can find that at Espetus. Delicious food that worth every penny.
- Pros: delicious food
- Cons: parking

To experience the magic of the meat without paying full price, visit at lunch on a weekday.
Know Before You Go:
Those in the know have their little tongs in hand when the meat approaches; use them to grab the luscious slices as they're carved right in front of you.
