Juarez and Alda came to Texas to share something from home. They never stopped.

In 1997, Juarez DeConto and Alda Boiani left Brazil and came to Addison, Texas with one purpose: to help introduce the gaucho tradition to America. They spent the next 20 years inside that kitchen, that dining room, that culture — learning what it means to make a guest feel genuinely at home far from their own.

Then in 2019, quietly and without fanfare, they opened something of their own. Not a concept. Not a brand exercise. Just a single dining room on Dallas Parkway where they could do things their way — with the cuts they believe in, the hospitality they grew up with, and the kind of personal attention that only happens when the owners are there.

"We came here to offer authentic Brazilian cuisine and gaucho experiences to North Texans with the highest quality meats, vegetables and customer service. The most important thing to us is our customers." — Alda Boiani, Co-Founder & CEO

"The owner came and talked to us, which is something I had never experienced before. For the price, it is a wonderful steakhouse." — Tripadvisor guest — 5 stars

What an evening at 12 Cuts actually feels like

The green card sits at your table. When you're ready, you turn it over and the gauchos begin. Skewer after skewer arrives — picanha rock-salted and fire-roasted, filet mignon carved to your preference, lamb, sausage, and seasonal cuts that rotate with what's best. You eat at your own pace. No one rushes you. The salad bar is restocked quietly throughout the meal. When the grilled pineapple comes around, it's worth saving room for.

It is, in the best possible way, the kind of meal that makes you forget what time it is.

Everything included at the table

• Picanha — fire-roasted Brazilian top sirloin cap, the signature of gaucho cooking
• Filet mignon, rack of lamb, garlic sirloin, chicken wrapped in bacon, Brazilian sausage
• Organic salad bar with charcuterie, artisan cheeses, smoked salmon, fried plantains, and Brazilian sides
• House-made desserts — papaya cream, chocolate brigadeiro, crème brûlée, grilled pineapple
• Full bar: caipirinhas, imported wines, craft cocktails, beer
• Complimentary valet parking

"Absolutely the best Brazilian steakhouse I have ever been to. The meat was cooked to perfection. At one point I made an offhand remark and the waiter walking by heard and brought it right back." — OpenTable verified diner — 5 stars

A Brazilian Steakhouse for Special Occasions in North Dallas

The beauty of a Brazilian steakhouse is that everyone gets to enjoy the meal their way. Meat lovers can savor the fire-roasted cuts. Guests who want something lighter can enjoy the salad bar and fresh sides. Families can share the same table without asking everyone to agree on one entrée.

That is why 12 Cuts works so well for this season. Mother’s Day, graduations, and Father’s Day may each have a different guest of honor, but they all need the same things: warm hospitality, flavorful food, and room for people to connect.

If your calendar is filling up with family celebrations, do not wait until the last minute. Reserve your table at 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse today, or call the restaurant at (956) 505-5942 to plan your next gathering.
