We had an absolutely lovely meal there this evening. Very pleasant experience and friendly staff. Ordered the two-skewer platter with half chicken and half steak. Both were delicious. The steak especially had flavorful seasoning. I will be back to support this place. So glad they were able to open back up again. .

I love this place! This is a family owned business who genuinely cares about their customers. I've been here several times and their service and food is outstanding!!

Love this local spot and the owners. We always get the carved pork two skewer meal and it's definitely a healthy portion for two people. We pie this with the yucca fries and a beef pastel.

The pastel was good, but it wasn’t the Brazilian style more like a Porto rican style and it took way too long and too overpriced for the 3 inch size pastel they serve

Situated off the 60 fwy in a cozy Town Center, Espettos is a great place to enjoy Brazilian cuisine and ambiance. The dishes are light and airy full of rich flavors.

My wife and I are new to the area and have been slowly trying the various restaurants in the Canyon Crest Towne Centre. We eventually came across Espettos Grill and had to try it. We ordered the X-Tudo and the Kafta sandwich based off of customer reviews online. I ordered the food to-go and called the storefront to place my order. I was greeted with a friendly employee and he helped me with any of my questions or concerns regarding the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, I cannot express that enough. I was completely shocked after opening the to-go containers to find the food still looked exactly like the photos presented on their website. This tells me that they take pride in their presentation but more importantly their heritage and how they share that pride through their food. If you are in the Riverside Area passing through this quiet neighborhood looking for a place to eat, Espettos Grill is as authentic Brazilian food as you can get. It's almost like a small Brazilian oasis in Riverside County.

A hidden gem! We happened upon this place tonight and were super impressed. We ordered the two skewer plate with a bacon wrapped chicken skewer and tri tip skewer. The plate came with black beans and white rice. We also ordered the pork sandwich which was amazing. So much flavor! The portions were generous, the service was wonderful and we will be back!

Nice homey place. Quick order and good customer service. Food was OK. Would try them again to see if I like them better to up the stars.

One word to describe this place - AMAZING! We decided to dine here today for the first time since they reopened and were blown away by their stellar customer service and delicious and authentic Brazilian cuisine. I typically go into pretty good detail in my reviews in describing how tasty dishes are, but the photos I'm about to share with you taste just as good as they look! I will say, however, that their plantains are the best we've ever had! Most other places cook them before they are fully ripe. Not Espettos! If you're in the mood for amazing, authentic Brazilian BBQ and cuisine (not to mention the perfect ambience - especially when dining on their outdoor patio) then be sure to check in to Espettos and order whatever your stomach is telling you to! I promise you won't regret it!
I don't know what took us so long to try this Gem! From beginning to End the experience and food were top tier! The staff there were impeccable, and extremely helpful with menu and recommending awesome dishes with extremely tasteful sauces. We ordered a side of Yucca fries which comes with twodelicious sauces. We also order the chicken bacon sandwich......when I tell you that was the bombest sandwich I have ever had! It was way above my expectations. If you're into trying new thing the chicken heart were a hit at the table! Everything five stars!

This place is a gem! The restaurant ambiance itself is super cute. The food is phenomenal and the service is equally matched. Everyone was so friendly and pleasant it was refreshing. If you have not this place is a absolute must try!

Great food that you can't find anywhere else in Riverside. They serve Feijoada on Sunday that is delicious. Decent selection of craft beer tall cans. My only critique would be to get a couple of beers on tap!

Tastes great but the serving size could've been a little more generous. The pao de quejo and coxinha were very tiny for what you pay for.
