Seabra's Rodizio

[AlwaysCravingThai]

Ate at Seabra's Rodizio in Ironbound a few days ago for the first time. I'm not sure what kind of beef it was, but it was probably the best tasting beef I have ever had anywhere! Perfectly seasoned on the salty side. I think it was either skirt or flank steak.

Everything was very good, except for the Ostrich and Buffalo, which were a bit over done. They even served some alligator!

I believe what you are reffering to is called Picanha. It comes from the inner thigh of the cow and is really tender. If it looked like this it was definately Picanha:

Picanha is top sirloin, no? I don't believe it has anything to do with the leg....

I could be wrong, It's happened before!LOL My source was a Portugese woman who IMHO knows her food.

Regardless of where it comes from, that meat looks really freeking good.

Question for rodizio experts:

I've been to rodizio twice, the first time I was accompanied by a Brazillian friend and we were served all sorts of weird stuff I've never seen before. The second time (different joint) all we got was "standard" fares. Is there a secret to getting the more "adventurous" cuts, or is it just a matter of asking for it?

I am very tempted to take a ride down to check this place out. It looks really good. Does anybody know anything about prices? When do dinner hours start? What are the differences between lunch and dinner in terms of offerings? Finally, is there a "best time" to go to avoid the nightmarish traffic on Route 21? Thanks for any information!

You can also go to the Seabras in Perth Amboy. They're related, but under separate management: different, semi-warring siblings, as I understand it.

I work on this end of Newark, and would only suggest you stay away from Rt 21 during regular rush hours. If you're coming to the Ironbound for dinner, just make it after 6-6:30, and you'll be fine! And fwiw, I prefer dinner to lunch only b/c lunch in any of these places tends to be full of 'suits'. Plus, you can linger over dinner...
