| telling you about the brazilian | | | | will serve, but the experience is similar.In San Diego, |
| cuisine and the brazilian restaurants available in San | | | | there is two different Brazilian BBQ restaurants, both |
| Diego.One of the most tradicitional kind of restaurant | | | | in downtown |
| cuisine in Brazil, is what | | | | and actually, very close to each other.One is called |
| we call "churrascaria", which would be a bbq | | | | Rei do Gado, or the king of the cows. It's a good |
| restaurant, but different | | | | restaurant, |

| that fool you, the fun is yet to begin.At your table, | | | | map search.The other great choice is Samba Grill |
| there is a 'sign' with two sides, one red and one | | | | Churrascaria, also in downtown, and like |
| green. You | | | | they like to call, It's an endless parade of skewered |
