I know I know, your are thinking "what the hell Deldon, why are you doing a review on your Sushi/BBQ blog about a Brazilian Steakhouse?"...Well my answer is in two parts, 1) The meats are prepared over an open flame and are technically "Barbecued" and 2) This place was AWESOME and I think it deserves any Attention I can get it.

So after work yesterday Mr. Angel Febus and I went to go get him a jacket as he is from Orange County California and evidently he doesn't own any winter clothing and it got to 58 degrees so he was freezing...lol we went exploring to find a TJ MAXX(Angel's favorite store) and across the parkway from the TJ MAXX was a new shopping center with lots of Restaurants,  Angel was in the mood for Mexican so we drove around for about an hour and from a distance and at the angle we were at "Brazilian" looked like "Mexican" so we drove over and the parking lot was insanely pack, so we thought what the hell, Brazilian it is. We were a little worried at how much dinner was gonna cost since the Brazilian Steakhouse I had been to were all $48/plate+ and Angel said the ones in California were $75+, but we through caution to the wind as we knew the next day was payday..lol, when we walked up to the building the smell of fire roasted meat was intoxicating we started to get giddy like school children.  When we got inside the hostesses greeted us and informed us there was and 75 minute wait...we both looked at each other and were on the verge of saying lets just go somewhere else but the smell kept us there...we waited patiently and it only took an hour, there were hundreds of recent grads from the Air force base all out celebrating their graduation from AIT school i think and getting their first real assignments so that is why it took so long to get seated, but well worth the wait.

We were seated and our waitress Camila came over and introduced herself and explained how it works and such, my first question to her was, "How much is this gonna cost us?" her reply was "the all you can eat is $20.95"...WHAT!?!?!?!?! did i hear you correctly, and this feast is ONLY going to cost me $20.95 are you kidding me..I think I have found a new home...lol she laughed and said she had heard people complain that it was too expensive. I quickly pointed out that anyone who thought that had clearly never left Colorado Springs EVER!! So I ordered a drink to celebrate tonight's feast, i think it was called the Copacabana a Giant Pineapple fruity concoction of sheer alcohol and magic(see picture below). So we went to salad bar and got a few side dishes (Angel can't eat a meal without Rice and Beans, he says it's cuz he is a "Brownie" his words not mine...lol) then the procession of GLORIOUS MEATS (16 different skewers) started coming to the table non stop and OH MY GOD! you have to try the fire roasted brown sugar glazed pineapple , it was to die for.  the meats ranged from bacon wrapped filet mignon to BBQ'd chicken thigh, to flank steak and marinated and roasted chicken hearts(don't cringe these too were amazing)spiced salmon...this was all so delicious and we literally gorged ourselves to the point we could hardly move, We both wanted a dessert but there was just no way we were ever gonna be able to get it.  At the end of our meal Camila came back over and we chatted for a bit, she is originally from Brazil and her accent is cute and sexy all at the same time and she was amazing.  She told us that Tucanos is even open for lunch and the all you can eat at lunch is ONLY $14.95!!! this place is unreal, if ever you are in Colorado Spring, you HAVE to check this place out..you just have too. They also have locations in Provo, Utah - Albuquerque New Mexico - Salt Lake City Utah - Boise Idaho

my tasty beverage the "Copacabana"
