We very much enjoyed our birthday visit. Eric, our server, was just fantastic. The food was so abundant, flavorful, and almost overwhelming. Savanah, our main meat server, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we could possibly want. Each dish had so much flavor and unique qualities, and we had to taste every bit. I will have to pace myself better next visit and stay longer to enjoy just a small bit of each item. We very much recommend going and making sure you have room for everything they have to offer, including their well balanced cocktails and wine choices. Enjoy!
Tucanos NEVER disappoints, if it's our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. It was my husbands birthday and I reserved us a spot ahead of time. I'm really glad I did because they were only accepting people with a reservation. So fun to eat here, you put your wooden idol to green to eat and red to stop. Stop and go as many times as you want. Servers are ALWAYS great. It is an expensive restaurant but the quality of food and the amount of food you get is ALOT. Our favorites are the brown sugar pineapple, chicken hearts and the bacon wrapped steak. They being the food around on skewers and you tell them how much you want, it's on a rotation as to when they bring items out. Thank you again for another great experience. The Brazilian limeade is the best drink they have. A must have experience located across from the bus depot downtown.
This is a new and improved Tucanos. The new renovation must have put a spark back into this place. Food was great. It was always hot. Salad bar was tasty. The service was top notch. The meat server Manny was above and beyond. Made us feel welcomed.

Rustic plate of shredded Brazilian bbq brisket seasoned to perfection, juicy and perfect to make a couple sliders w the fluffy dinner rolls.
Very unique flavors, a delicious addition to my brisket plate reviews. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I picked the delicious pasta salad & creamy mashed potatoes as my sides, they went well with the meat. Very refreshing.

Went over a year ago for a birthday and went again last night. Since then they have remodeled and total revamped everything. Atmosphere and service was great. Josh was our server and they’re lucky to have him. He is amazing! Highly recommend again!
Great service! It was my birthday, and gave me an ice cream. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the buffet.
I went to Tucanos for my birthday.
I hadn't been in years, and it seemed like a fun birthday celebration to me. My wife and I enjoyed the salad celebration, and the endless delivery of Brazilian BBQ meats and vegetables.
I can't even remember all the different types of meat. There were bacon-wrapped turkey and bacon wrapped beef, and roasted chicken, and at least five different cuts of roasted beef. There was pork loin, and there were chicken hearts, and fried fish.
For vegetables there was the salad bar, and the salad bar also has a hot section. Where there are mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and soups like lobster bisque.
The salad bar itself is pretty fantastic. It's shaped like a triangle. There is a side that has cold salad fixings. So, mixed lettuce, spinach, olives, tomatoes, croutons, salad dressing, all the stuff for a regular chilled mixed salad.
And then, there is a side that has things like prepared salads, like macaroni salad, or in a pasta salad, or seafood salad, or crab salad or whatever. There are tons of these kinds of salads that are mixed and ready to put on your plate.
And finally, there is the hot foods side of the triangle. I think I described that above.
After dinner, if you have any room left at all, they have a dessert tray that they can bring and you can pick your dessert. I decided on creme brulee! It was delicious. It was very well prepared and served with every laid crust of sugar and dollops of whipped cream.
What a treat!
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The whole experience was above and beyond. The food was fresh and hot. The salad bar was unique and the variety of meats served was awesome. Can't say enough about the service, right down to the manager who was constantly watching everything. We will definitely be back!!!
Food was great. Delicious meats!! Reason I gave a four star was because service was a little slow during lunch time. That had two servers working who were working their butts off. However, you could go 5-10 mins without a server coming by with another offering of meat!

Very delicious selection of a variety of juicy meats. Salad bar, fresh & well put together. Customer service is fair. Prices, equivalent to area of the "Downtown" area. Parking is somewhat far, & remember to get stamp to waive parking fee. Could use more history of Brazilian theme. Beautiful high ceilings. Area could use more friendly environment output to community.
The restaurant was a little loud. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. Food was tasty There is no reason to go home hungry. The location is in a not so friendly area of town so plan your trip to leave by dark. Seating for 2 up to large groups.
