Tourist Trap & Thieves
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/1/08
A cab driver convinced us to go here instead of Porcow, likely due to a kickback. This was the worst restaurant I've ever been to and grossly over priced. The food was mediocre at best, the seafood looked and smelled horribly stale. Largest bill I had the entire trip for such a disappointing trap.
And they had the decency to steal my credit card number (only place I used that card because they didn't take AmEx).
Not sure if there is a Barbacoa in Rio, but the one in Sao Paulo was by far the best restaurant in Brazil.
