San Antonio carnivores soon will have another Brazilian-style temple of meat at which to worship.
Bitelo Brazilian Steakhouse, which currently operates a single restaurant in Austin’s Cedar Park suburb, will spend $1.5 million developing a new eatery in far Northwest San Antonio’s Portico at Shaenfield Ranch development, state records show.
Construction on the 8,400-square-foot steakhouse will begin in December with a scheduled completion date next April, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Officials with Bitelo were unavailable for immediate comment at press time about the new restaurant, located at 7807 W Loop 1604 North.
Assuming the new Bitelo’s menu and operations mirror the original location, the restaurant will offer Brazilian-style all-you-can-eat churrascaria dining, in which staffers carve prime cuts of meat tableside. The Cedar Park restaurant also features an extensive salad bar.
Dinner at the original Bitelo location runs $59.95 for dinner and $40.95 for lunch. Less expensive salad bar-only lunches and dinners are also available.
Bitelo enters the San Antonio market amid an expansion of other Brazilian steakhouse chains.
Dallas-based Fogo de Chão opened a second Alamo City location this summer, while Houston’s Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse chain made its San Antonio debut last year.
