Message from the Business
Sao Paulo's Restaurante has a unique menu. The primary Cuisine featured is Brazilian, although, some Tex-Mex items are also on hand for the enjoyment of less adventurous Foodies. During her stay in Brazil, Chef/Owner Melba Garcia experienced local home cooking and brought back a variety of delicious and savory dishes which now grace her menu. The Dinner menu has a few more exotic choices than their lunch selections. A must try is a dish that Melba named after the grandmother of one of the homes she visited....Camarao Vo Naica, which is shrimp stewed with a variety of spices and Catupiry cheese. Pair this delicious food with some of their unique wine while listening to amazing live music and you've got a pleasurable dinning experience.

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2010I can't believe the terrible service. We were ignored for a while before we got a table. Our waiter was rude and seemed put-out by our presence. He overcharged my credit card and then when I viewed my bank transactions... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2007It is hard to believe such a find as this exists in a strip center. From the second you walk in, not only will you completely forget it is in a strip center, but you seem to forget life outside of Sao Paulo's altogether.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 18, 2007I had been here a couple of times before and never had a problem, but the last time was just awful. We went during happy hour and were the only table inside, so we thought for sure with three workers hanging around that... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 06, 2007Up until today I would have recommended this restaurant much much higher, but my husband and I had to walk out at lunchtime due to the glare from the cars parked outside. An obnoxious diner would not allow the venetian... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 14, 2007I think that the review posted on 2/11/07 is talking about the wrong restaurant--Sao Paulo's is great! I eat there on a regular basis (2-3 times a week) and I have never seen "frozen carrots" with the ridges on them!?!... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2006I have been eating here for a couple of years and I still love coming here. The food is great and the fact you can order Guaraná is really cool. My family lived in Brazil for 17 years so it was fun for them to eat... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 14, 2005The food and ambiance at this place is great. They have live music frequently, but it's not "in your face" or overpowering and did I mention the food is fantastic? Everyone we take there really likes the Chicken... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 01, 2005This is a great option near campus for when you tire of dollar drafts and crappy pizza. Very nice brazilian/caribbean fare. The tex-mex on the menu is surprisingly tasty too, but it's the braizilian entrees (esp. the... (more)
