    If you’re looking for an authentic Brazilian caipirinha, delicious food, and great music, this is the place to be! The atmosphere makes you feel right at home, like a little piece of Brazil away from home.

    Excellent efficient and friendly service. Skewers and sliders - both delicious. Perfect environment for a ultra casual dining experience. Sports TV a plus. Will return for sure.

    Great for drinks and nightlife, but the food is a massive disappointment now. ​I’ve been coming here for 13 years, and it has changed completely. It used to be a great spot to eat, drink, and have fun. Now? Only go if you want to drink. The food has gone downhill significantly, and the prices are outrageous for what you get ​We ordered the picanha for $41 because the server told us it feeds three people. When it arrived, it was the size of a standard A-down steak—barely enough for one person, making it extremely pricey. To make matters worse, the sides of rice and beans meant for "three people" were about half a cup total. It wouldn't even fill up one person. The plates are just microscopic for the price. ​On the positive side, the caipirinhas and drinks are amazing, and the vibe is lively. It’s definitely transitioned into an adult-only lounge/nightlife environment. They even charge a cover fee now just to sit to eat inside and listen to the music. ​Skip the food entirely. Go for a drink, enjoy the atmosphere, but eat somewhere else first.

    Had such a great time at Boteco Miami! The atmosphere was amazing, the service was on point, and everything just felt so lively and fun. A special highlight of the night was the incredible singer Gabi — her voice is absolutely beautiful and she brought so much energy to the place. She truly made the experience unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back again!
