Churrascaria do Gaucho

A local Brazilian spot that speaks just enough English to make English speakers feel welcome. Large space that can seat large parties. Contrary to other reviews, I thought the best thing about this joint was the salad/​dessert buffet bar, which is reminiscent of Souplantation in Western United States. Some of the items include spinach, lettuce, beets, carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, chimichurri, tomatoes, and some of the fruits include mangoes, pineapples, melons, basically very healthy compared to the typical heavy Brazilian fare! And desserts such as homemade flan, jello, and pudding.
Of course, there are also French fries and fried yuccas to round out the buffet. As for meat, there were about 6 different meats that came around, plus grilled cheese and grilled pineapple, and as other reviewers have said, they were all quite salty. It was only edible in our minds when paired with the salads and fruits.
Overall, would recommend at $ 32.50 Brazilian reales on a Sunday (I think usually less than $ 30 on weekdays?). Great deal for us, but keep in mind my party was used to NYC and LA prices.

I am not sure of the earlier great ratings given to this restaurant. I found the meat selection to be minimal for a churrascaria restaurant. At one point during the service, at least while I was there, dinners were waiting for the meat to be served. Unlike other similar restaurants in the Brasil and elsewhere, servers were randomly selecting tables where to go. In addition, I agree with an earlier review that their meat was salty. It seems like salt was the only added flavor. I will go elsewhere and will not recommend this restaurant.

Unlike the other review, I’m kinda cross cross reverse about what I liked about this place. The salad bar/​sides were mostly meh, but the 10+ types of meat were excellent!
If you are in the area, stop by. It’s like 30 Reals for this massive dinner with a lot of enjoyable meats. Not top notch fancy steakhouse cuts, but still done very well and flavorfully.
Desserts could use a little work, but the chicken lasagna and rice with meat were good! Worth a stop if you are hungry and nearby.
PS… They also take credit cards!

First of all, I’m fairly sure the location on Unilocal is wrong. The restaurant is one block south, then one block west of the bus terminal.
If you can find it, definitely give Gaucho a try. For those who aren’t aware of the Brazilian Churrascaria format – this is basically a delicious meat buffet. And in this case it’s a buffet for approximately $ 10 USD per person. You can’t go wrong there.
I really enjoyed the casual yet authentic vibe; many Brazilian families were inside, celebrating birthdays etc. The various meats were great too, of course, but I thought the unspoken hero of the experience was the side bar, where we got to sample many Brazilian dishes. For tourists looking to sample the country’s cuisine dish-​by-​dish, we couldn’t have picked a better place to try a lot without being committed to one item ordered off a menu. Eat the chocolate pie type thing!
Another tip: they accept Visa.
