Tasteless overpriced food
I ordered the lunch special Ropa Vieja. Tiny tasteless portions of meat and rice. Genrous portion of beans, but they were plain black beans straight from a can. The plantains were decent, but 4 bites could hardly redeem this meal. Defintely not worth the $10. Perhaps eating in or ordering differently would have helped.

Good food, but too small
The food was good. And the price was very reasonable. But it was too small. A bit uncomfortable

Sadly Gone Way Downhill
Years ago Rice-n-Beans was consistently excellent. But we just ordered takeout, and it was truly bland. The arroz con pollo was tasteless, both the red and black beans were straight out of a can, and the yellow and white rice were also tasteless. It was all very disappointing, and I won't order from them again.

Rip off!
We chose this restuarant because of its close proximity to the New World Theater and its strong rating on menupages. We ordered "cheese rolls" as an appetizer and we were so dissapointed. Five lukewarm, miniature rolls filled with cheese were delivered to the table on a small platter. They were gone in ten seconds and we were not satisfied in the least. We ordered "A Brazilian Traditional Specialty - Feijoada." This casserole consisted of black beans, one small piece of the following meats: pork loin, sausage, bacon, spare ribs, and cubed beef. For $22 and one person you might be able to get away with the small amount of meat but for two you have to pay $8 more. For $30 we ate glorified rice and beans which I could've made at home with a can from Goya. To top it off we had to sit right by the door, which provided a freezing draft every time it opened. The waiter did not check with us after he dropped off our ridiculous meal - he must know that this restaurant is a complete rip off. Please don't waste your hard-earned money here!

Amazing food at a great price!
This is a very small, hole-in-the-wall type place, but that is why it is such a gem. The food is amaaazing and the price is very affordable.

The food was mediocre, the service poor. Overall dissapointment.

A Gem in Hell's kitchen
Whether authentic Brazilian or not, this place offers outstanding platters for good prices. Much better eating in, then taking out. ENJOY!
