"A highly-acclaimed Dallas restaurant built around his Afro Brazilian cooking; Borges departed from there before joining forces with Nicholas Yanes." - Courtney E. Smith
"A Dallas restaurant that brought the chef significant acclaim and helped land him on the James Beard 2023 semifinalist long list; it thrilled diners with his approach to Brazilian cuisine and established his national reputation prior to his departure in October 2023." - Ashok Selvam
"This modern Brazilian restaurant has a seasonal moqueca with seafood that is always a must-order. And the Xtudo burger, created for happy hour, has become a staple." - Courtney E. Smith
"On a weekend trip to Meridian I had pork medallions served on a bed of purple hull peas that weren’t quite creamed but headed that way, accompanied by various charred peppers and a smattering of nasturtium; the dish was full of big flavors yet light enough for summer." - Courtney E. Smith
"What a pleasure it was to return to dining out! I still wasn’t able to as much as I would have enjoyed, so I probably only hit most of my go-tos once or thrice.
