So, if you like your meat fire-roasted and on a stick, Doral’s Brazaviva Churrascaria is your spot. Here, you can choose from a whopping 18 meats along with a […]

Camila’s Restaurant

Camila’s Restaurant is a casual eatery located on a busy downtown street corner. The big, open room with white tile floors and wooden tables does not provide much in terms of ambiance. But the all-you-can-eat buffet ($11.45) offers a large selection that includes sautéed chicken, beef stew, rice, black beans, roasted pork, steamed vegetables, salad, […]

Varanda’s Brasil Cafe
