“ Stopped in on a Saturday night to see a friend play. Had a wonderful time! Staff was very friendly. The steak was honestly one of the best I've had which is saying a lot for a place that isn't a steak house. It was juicy and flavorful. The roasted veggies are hard to make exciting but they were garlicky and delish . Atmosphere was really fun. The drinks were just ok. My margarita nothing special, but my husband had the fruity drink with vodka that was kind of their specialty and he liked it. Would definitely come back! ”

“ Went here with Brazilian friends who miss home and wanted to introduce us to their county's comfort food. Everything was delicious and our friends said it was as good as home. ”

“ Excellent food, service, and ambiance!!! The best Brazilian restaurant around SB with delicious portions and cold beer! I love both restaurants, Redondo and Hermosa ”

“ Nice hidden gem tucked away in a North Redondo quiet neighborhood near my work, good Brazilian food and a nice vibe inside and very friendly team running things inside. Also some cute tables outside for dining al fresco! Note they do close early (7pm this Saturday evening) so thinking they do more business day/week traffic. The food was good, although the beef was over cooked despite them asking us our preference (medium rare and medium for the two of us) - all seemed to just be cooked to well done so something they need to keep an eye on. Also were out of cheesy bread so also disappointing and a miss. Overall a decent option and one of very few in the area if you are in the mood for Brazilian and don't want to go to one of those expensive AYCE places! ”

“ If you want excellent Brazilian food, this is the place. It's the best Brazilian food I've had outside of, well, Brazil. I can't believe I've lived walking distance from this place for years and didn't even know it was there. That's how tucked away it is... on a little side street, nestled behind a park, in Redondo Beach. I've been there several times now and it's consistently amazing. The staff is super friendly, the dining room is clean, and there's something on the menu for everyone. The feijoada is my favorite, probably because I find it's hard to get really good feijoada elsewhere, but everything we've tried, including the banana cake dessert, was great. Parking - there is free parking in the adjacent lot. Prices - reasonable for the amount of food they give you (portions are big). ”

“ Saw this place on an LA Times food list as an authentic Brazilian spot so was super excited to try it! Panelas is tucked away in a neighborhood in the South Bay, with a really cool vibe, and super friendly staff! Tried the cheese balls, coxinha, and the BBQ plate with Picanha, chicken and sausage. Food was good, Picanha was cooked a perfect medium rare, chicken was tender and the coxinha was sooo good! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try great quality Brazilian eats. ”

“ A lovely little cafe in a strip mall in a place you'd never expect to find a strip mall. I don't know much about Brazillian food but I'm glad I got to learn about it here. The staff are extremely helpful. They have an ipad with photos and will offer to explain things to you. And they only explain if you ask which is also very appreciated. The only thing I do know if I love that Pao de Queijo, the impossibly addictive, chewy cheese bread. These are on the bigger side, but the texture is great. Feijoada is a bucket list dish for me, and this one is my first. A heart stew of black beans, so savory and salty, full of chunks of beef, bone-in ribs, chunks of pork, and slices of sausage. It's a dense dish, and even a few bites can be filling. The Brazilian Plate has picanha or a protein of your choice, and it's a pretty good cut of meat. A bit of chewing required but a nice mix with a little fat. Break the egg yolk across the top and eat with all the sides. Nice neighborhood, really nice experience for a casual lunch if you can afford the food coma that is sure to come. ”

“ This is the best kept secret in Redondo Beach. It's tucked away on the edge of a residential neighborhood but worth seeking out. The food is always fresh and consistent in quality. I love the flavors and textures of the plaintains and the rice and beans and the fluffy little breads. When I was eating meat the steaks are something I still dream about. Now I stick with the salads (and will add salmon sometimes) and they are just as hearty and filled with amazing flavor and texture. I highly recommend this spot! ”
