5 Star Rating This is by far the most amazing lunch spot in downtown Rio. I have eaten here many times, and without fail, all the food is delicious. Despite being served buffet-style, each dish seems as if it was just-made fresh to order. The staff are super friendly, and the entire restaurant is extremely clean (and welcoming!). Most importantly, the price by weight is a bargain, especially considering the high quality of the food. Without doubt, I will continue dining here happily for the rest of my life. And when I die I'm sure there will be a place exactly like this one in heaven.

5 Star Rating From Canada. Wanted a true Rio culinary experience. So much variety! So delicious! Wonderful environment! Great introduction to Brazilian cuisine that working people enjoy every day. Highly recommended. Don’t miss this place. As close to home cooking as you’ll find in Rio. Wonderful! Obrigado Toque Carioca.

2 Star Rating Pedi uma água com gás e a mesma estava quente... A funcionária ficou de trocar, mas demorou uns 5 minutos. Nesse meio tempo meu Uber chegou e tive que levar a água quente que não bebi. Paguei caro numa água que seria um purgante caso eu bebesse no calorão que fazia.

Refeição a R$ 60,00 o Kg, já comi lá 3 vzs e meu único arrependimento é não ter estudado suficiente pra ganhar um bom salario e almoçar todo dia a comida de lá. O dono é super gente boa e virei fã!

2 Star Rating A Casa da Esfirra da Rua Buenos Aires 326, Centro, Rio de Janeiro/RJ, não tem banheiros disponíveis para os clientes a não ser a partir das 10:30 h, um absurdo. Diversas outras lanchonetes da região possuem banheiros com chaves, exclusivos para clientes, a qualquer hora do expediente. Essa situação é inadmissível para um comércio que deseja ser bem avaliado pelo público.
