Espadas Brazilian TOGO - Mesquite

It’s not often you have a meal of this quality! Chef Raul, and his family, are serving up great Brazilian-style foods for catering across the Metroplex at Espadas Brazilian TOGO.

Do yourself a favor, and give them a call before planning your next event, wedding dinner, graduation, or work get-together! Don’t just take my word for it, they’re happy to arrange a tasting at their Mesquite location, where they also serve up delicious sandwiches and carry-out.

My meal began with a very flavorful Caesar Salad with a fresh, house-made dressing and crisp Romaine, Parmesan and Seasoned Bread Crumbs, with Brazilian Bread Bites that are light, cheesy and chewy, and a delicious, refreshing glass of their Limonadas Estilo Brazil – which I would describe as a liquid Key Lime Pie.

Then, a delicious plate of Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Vegetables which were grilled with Salt and Pepper in Garlic Olive Oil – simple and delicious!

Then comes what Brazilian food is known for. Skewers of fresh, sizzling, delicious meats – which began with their classic Picanha, then Ribeye, Copacabana Sausage, Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, a little more Picanha, Chicken Leg, Grilled Pineapple and again, more Picanha and Ribeye!

The beef is juicy and tender, with a nice crisp char on the outside. Don’t be shy about the fat, because it packs a flavor bomb that goes off in your mouth. The sausage is good and the chicken very tender. The leg meat is absolutely incredible! They serve a very good Chimichurri and Hot Sauces, which I tried, but used sparingly because I didn’t want to cover the flavor of the meats.

When I finally tapped-out, a fresh Flan arrived. I’m not normally a huge fan of flan, but this could change my mind. Firm but moist with rich caramel and custard flavors is something you really shouldn’t deny yourself when you come to Espadas.

I want to thank Chef Raul for inviting me. He, his brother Joaquin, and their family were terrific, and I can’t wait to stop back!
