Well, on Tuesday nights, if you bring in a current college ID, you can get the dinner churrasco for the lunch price. If you haven't tried us yet, this is a great time to do it. We still have the bacon wrapped filet, as well as for a limited time, flame-grilled, High Plains Bison, at no extra cost. Of course it's one churrasco per ID, and you cannot use it with other offers, or discounts.
