Churrasco is a Portuguese term referring to beef or grilled meat more generally, differing across Latin America, but a prominent feature in the cuisine of Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and other Latin American countries. The related term "churrascaria" is mostly understood to be a steakhouse or barbecue.

This is a new place but it was really tasty! The steak and meats were well seasoned, tender and delicious! Small selection of buffet items but still very good! The staff was so amazing friendly and the best restaurant staff I have ever encountered as it was my first time there! I will definitely go back with some friends. I love the atmosphere as well. Give them a try!

Food is great. You serve yourself everything but the meat and drinks. Food is $6.99 lb even with churrasco. Solid experience.

Every time I'm in the Boston area, I always find myself at Minas! Their Brazilian barbecue meats are some of the best I've had both in terms of quality and price! Our favorites are the chicken hearts, picanha, and spicy sausage - all are super tender and moist, and incredibly well seasoned! Overall this place is a 10/10 - would highly recommend!

Excellent! I'm very happy they opened here. I've been going to the one in Norwood for a long time. Food is always great and the meats are cooked fresh in front of you. You can pay based on the weight of the food you get. It is the best deal in town.

Some of the best steak and other meats I have had anywhere and for a very reasonable price. Deff need to try the bacon wrapped chicken that's the best one.

Salad bar is basic but ok.
Meats are good flavor.
I only give 2 star because the pricing is inconsistent. I asked how much for the salad bar with meat the girl told me $6.99 per lb. I have them cut the meat and put on the plate with my veggies and same girl charged me $8.99 per lb. I am writing this review as of my second visit a week later. Figured I would try again as I enjoyed the meats. Got exactly the same veggies & same meats and put on scale and different girl from first visit charged me $10.99 per lb. exact same meal and portion as the last week and $3.00 for same meal. Will try

Small family owned Restaurant with amazing food and Customer service. There is a charm to this place, the meats are always on points and the salad bar always has everything fresh. Me and my family really like going here during the week everyone enjoys the atmosphere.

This is a great spot for brazilian bbq. The meats are always fresh, hot and nicely seasoned. The chefs will even cut your steak slices into smaller bite size pieces if you want. The buffet is very clean and guests are given disposable gloves to wear while accessing the buffet. The prices are very reasonable since you pay by the pound.

Amazing family owned restaurant. The meats are over charcoal so they are very tasteful. The place is always super clean and the staff is very friendly.

We live about 10 minutes from there and try to go at least every 2 to 3 weeks, our kids really like it. Also if you have a party and you want them to cook they will do it, I done this before. Super happy to have this local place with great food.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is fantastic and the staff is super friendly. Fresh salad options and typical choices of Brazilian grill meats. You can have a very nice meal here for under $15. Not as salty as other Brazilian steakhouses I've been to. My friend and I come here twice a month!

Amazing! My friend took me here on Labor Day to get some lunch. We decided to do take out which is a pay by weight situation. It's buffet style for the basics like rice, salad, and sides. Then they have all the meat you could think of cooking in the back. I was so overwhelmed with the meat choices, I only grabbed the chicken wrapped in bacon lol. I also got white rice with beans, corn nuggets and "sweet plaintains" (they call it something different). The passion fruit juice was soooo good and sweet. This is like a cheaper version of Fogo De Chao but extremely better. Way better quality

Minas is already a favorite of mine. I've been here twice and know I'll keep coming here again. If you're looking for some vegetables with your churrasco, I highly recommend the butternut squash. It's so yummy and healthy so it balances the savory beef, chicken, pork, etc (side note- the chicken wings are so delicious - like, lick your fingers delicious) so it's a classic in my opinion. And don't forget the white rice with a side of black beans, this is good too. I love this place! I wish it was closer to Boston, but when in Norwood, this a great spot, just know that
