    El Novillo always has great food for reasonable prices. Service is attentive and staff is really efficient. You can't go wrong with any selection, but my favorite is the Churrasco.

    Food quality good, good service nice ambiance. The Nicaraguan sampler was plenty and the best the Big Daddy. The only thing I found too expensive is the uncorked fee $20

    This is the single best restaurant on the planet. If all the restaurants In the world ceased to exist and this was the only one left I would still want for nothing. Truly exceptional. Nothing else like it in the USA and I have checked. Love it.

    Our food was not properly cooked. The steak tasted like gas which was a shame because the meat itself was tender. The rice was room temperature and the sangria was sub par.

    It was a terrible experience. We had reservation for a party of 10 . When we got there we complained of a very loud music. The manager came and gave us a very vague answer. Then we asked the waiter that we wanted separate bills for 5 couples. He said that that wasn’t possible because it was the policy of the house to only accept 3 credit cards. We asked to speak with the manager . He came and rudely stated that that was their policy and period . At that point , we decided to leave the facility . Terrible experience . Never again.
