Flama Azul Brazilian Churrasco — Restaurant in Castroville

Located at the 1604 Cantina Food Truck Park, Flama Azul is a hidden gem I stumbled upon while scrolling TikTok—and let me just say, it’s bomb. Seriously, if you’re ever in San Antonio, forget the overpriced food on the Riverwalk and put this place on your foodie bucket list instead.

They have several options to choose from, but tonight we decided to go with the Picanha—and it was hands down the best steak I’ve had in a long time. Juicy, tender, and packed with so much flavor. It also came with a side of chimichurri that took the dish to the next level, plus black rice and beans (the beans were hearty with what I believe was ground meat and bacon), and a Caesar salad that balanced everything perfectly.

If you’re in San Antonio and want to skip the overpriced touristy spots, Flama Azul is where you need to go. We’ll...

Originally I planned on getting the rack of ribs, but they were fresh out, so the attendant who was super friendly and helpful suggested the Picadha or Picahna? I can't be sure how it's spelled, But she even described it to me, so I said sure, I'd try it. And OMG I am SO GLAD that I said yes! The meat was juicy, moist, tender, perfectly cooked, and delicious! The little chimichurri sauce that came with it was a delicious addition. Absolutely 5 stars. Glad they're in my neighborhood!
