    One of our favorite family places to dine and celebrate adult birthdays. Delicious food, great service, and live music on Saturday. Noise level is generally lively and jovial. Can get a bit too loud if you’re seated near a large table/party. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. Their baby churrasco is delicious and I especially love all the sides included with your entree and the tray of sauces. Thank you again for a great meal!

    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.
