Gauchao Brazilian Cuisine

Went for dinner on a Sunday evening, place wasn’t busy. Manager was attentive and got us a table within 5 mins. There are several options to choose from . An all you can eat for $44.99 on the weekends (different pricing during the week) Self service for $12.99 per pound and Al la carte but we weren’t made aware of that. We decided to do the self service $12.99 per pound since we knew we weren’t going to eat $45 /per person worth of food. The waitress comes to your table to take your drink order. You’re then instructed to go up to get your food buffet style. Remember you’re paying per pound so be aware that you’ll be paying for everything you put on the plate. There’s a salad bar , hot food bar, rice, beans, potatoes, pork and fish. At the meat section you can let the person cutting the meat know what you want.Theres a sign above with the different cuts of beef and chicken, along with sausages. After that you get to the scale and the person weighs your food for everyone in your party. You’re given a number for your table in case you go up for seconds or thirds. The food was ok, I found the meat to be on the salty side but usually that’s expected from Brazilian steakhouses. Others in our party thought the meat was a bit tough. There was live entertainment which was fun to listen to at the beginning but then we really couldn’t have a conversation. We basically ate and decided to leave.
***Pay attention to your bill ***
When it was time to pay we noticed they included an automatic 18% gratuity for a party of 6 to the bill. I can justify paying that, if we were actually getting table service. But the only time the waitress came around was to take the order for our drinks. Everything else we did ourselves. We noticed it after paying and decided to leave the bill as is. We felt it would have been more complicated to ask them to adjust it since the music in the background was so loud. Overall, it was an ok establishment. If we do go back I’ll definitely be paying attention to our bill.

Too Good To Go
I bought 2. Delicious food and well served!

Man, this place I tried yesterday...Absolute game changer! The meat was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. If you're all about that meat life, you've gotta check it out. Skewers just kept coming and I was living for it. Meat lovers, this one's for you!

I ordered a surprise bag at this place. I was packed with terrible food that can’t be eaten. Pieces of some fish were so oversalted that I could only try one. There was also a fried chicken bone on which there was no meat and salted rice at all. None of this was edible had to be thrown away. It was a very bad experience. I don’t recommend it to anyone.

This is our first time trying out Brazilian cuisine. Food was delicious. We ordered codfish ball and tres leche cake. Both seemed authentic Brazilian foods

Was my first foray into Somerville and cycled my way in. I was greeted at the door by a burly but friendly guy and walked into patrons singing and saw a proper stage with instruments and a singer.

Walked over to see a buffet style menu with fresh meats being made and some premade dishes and a salad bar. The server got my order for pickup and filled my dish which had corn, chicken, salad, rice and beans and fried plantain. It was flavorful and not spicy and I wolfed down my order in no time. The dish did have a lot of plantains which aren't my favorite but not that they weren't reasonable.

Lovely and decent Brazilian food, buffet and cocktail drinks.

This will be the closest i can get to real Brazilian cooking!!

The restaurant works in 2 ways, a la cart or the 'buffet style's I would highly suggest the buffet style!!!! You pay the pound. The exact way you would in Brazil!

Highly recommend this place and the staff are super nice and helpful.
