The true star, of course, is the food. Tucanos’ menu is a parade of enticing options designed to delight every palate.

Each slice arrives perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, teasing your taste buds with smoky, caramelized edges and rich, satisfying depth.

Complementing the meats is an impressive salad bar featuring fresh, vibrant selections such as the signature Tucanos Salad and a variety of salad bar options, ensuring lighter, garden-fresh balance alongside the hearty proteins.

Desserts at Tucanos are a decadent finale. From the velvety Pudim de Leite Brazilian Flan to the luscious Raspberry Cheesecake and fun Brownie Sundae, the dessert offerings are tempting and artfully presented — particularly the dessert sample display, perfect for those wanting a taste of several sweet sensations. And if you’re in the mood for a refreshing beverage, try Tucanos’ own Brazilian Bellini, a graceful cocktail that perfectly rounds out the meal with its fruity effervescence.

Tucanos also shines in their catering options, perfect for bringing authentic Brazilian flavors to any event. Whether you’re picking up a pre-arranged catering set with crowd-pleasing entrees like brown sugar-glazed ham and teriyaki beef, or assembling your own do-it-yourself spread featuring fresh pasta herb salad and a gourmet cheese & cracker platter, the team ensures quality and flavor remain consistent beyond the restaurant walls.

Brandi Holaday praised the welcoming and accommodating staff, noting the spotless environment and attentive service that made even a slightly late arrival effortless and relaxed. Kenneth Castillo was transported by the nostalgic, comforting flavors — especially the black bean and beef stew — enhanced by lively music that brought an authentic Brazilian spirit to Boise.
