We discovered this wonderful restaurant too late in our trip to be able to return but if we ever travel back to Orlando in the future, we will definitely be back. Really good service to accompany good food and outstanding value. As mentioned in previous reviews, two menus; one at $20, one at $40. Both menus include access to a hot and cold buffet including desserts. The higher priced menu allows access to the different meats carved at your table, the lower priced menu gives you sausage, chicken & steak. Drinks including Goose Island IPA all reasonably priced. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted as good as it looked. A really good meal at exceptional price. Thank you

Cafe Mineiro was a real depart from my regular vacation eating places. It was right down the street from our hotel, we passed it every day not paying attention. When I booked online and look at the distance I found out how close it was. The restaurant was packed which is a good sign. The food choices were excellent. Our waiter was the best, he made us feel like we were regulars. The food was excellent.

Walked past this place a few times and decided to give it a try tonight and really glad we did. We were told a 5 min wait or we could take a smaller table and be seated straight away - the table was perfectly fine nice little 2 top with plenty of room for 2 plates and 2 drinks. Server came over and explained the 2 options. First is then $19.99 option - all you can eat buffet which also includes steak or $39.99 option which is exactly the same but you also get to try extra cuts and types of meat brought round to the table. We opted for the $19.99 one and it was brilliant. Really good selection of salad including lots of individual salad items and mixed salads. Nice vegetable soup and bread rolls Good hot selection which included black and red beans, rice, noodles, chicken in creamed corn, breaded fish, beef in mushrooms, jerk beef, fried plantain, cheese balls and steak cooked to your preference. Dessert is a mix of fresh fruit (melons), rice pudding and sweet shredded coconut and a cake. Everything was delicious. Server was attentive - removed plate, refilled drinks, checked in if the food was good and made sure we didnt miss out on getting the steak as well. When we were done the bill was brought promptly, was accurate and when I was ready to pay it was run quickly - such a nice change as have found this trip its taken ages to get the check and pay! Check for 2 buffets and 2 coke zeros came to $48.80 excluding tip which for what we had was fantastic value and well worth it. Restaurant itself was very busy with lots of people from all backgrounds eating there, plenty of servers plus the carvers with the meat for the extra walking around, staff were refilling the food before it had time to run out. All staff from hostess at checkin, to the waiter and the chef in the steak window were pleasant and helpful. Will definitely visit again when we are back in orlando in the new year.

Opted for the 3 meat option. Some of the sides could have been better or offered more types. Restaurant was very busy and loud but would try again.

This is a Brazilian steakhouse where the meats come to you as and when you want them. You pay one price. It was good to be able to try lots of different meats and they were delicious.

The place is amazing, server are great and the food is a real Brazilian Steakhouse. Best meat today was the beef ribs, so tender, juicy and tasty!!! The dessert are incredible specially the Mouse of Maracuya

Awesome little buffet paid $19.95 for the buffet it had several salad options, a great cream and shredded coconut dessert, rice beans, plantains, yucca and if you got kids or someone who doesn't like what they see ,they have spaghetti and meatballs or chicken lasagna. Then there is a meat window where the guy serves you steak,chicken legs and sausage you tell him the quantity of the meat you want. All three meats are filling and great taste. If you are a big meat lover for $40.00 you get the buffet plus a guy brings out about ten other meats on skewers for you to choose from. Well worth the money and food my favorite on the buffet was the pork in soy sauce gravy.

Well, I should’ve known it… You get what you pay for. And all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse for 20 bucks… That kind of says something. The restaurant was very clean. The server was very nice. But the food was mediocre at best. I had a sad Salad bar with either ranch or Caesar dressing only. It was not worth the 40 bucks that we ended up paying.

Please bear in mind this review is for a family visit. I would recommend this place if you were going out for a meal with friends or a date and you had selected the more expensive option, at the time of writing two options, one $19.95 buffet or the better option by the looks of it where the servers bring you your meat on a stick and cut it at the table just under $30 I believe. We selected the first option and had two children who had the buffet at $8.95. The food for the adults was great meat was cooked to your liking and very tasty, for kids I feel there could be more catered towards them maybe some chicken nuggets, fries etc. There wasn’t a great deal of choice for children. Other than that we left and we didn’t leave hungry or disappointed just that I wouldn’t recommend it for children based on my person experience. Also some other downers the servers are sat watching, this could be that they are waiting on plates but it makes you feel a little un easy eating, also a sign on the table to encourage you not to waste food has you panicking about food waste too (see attached pic). Can be worrying if your budgeting each day and don’t want an un-necessary cost added, we were worried to try new things because of waste and a charge being added to our bill.

We had a great meal with great service! Taty was hospitable and attentive. Great food and ambient. We will be back soon!
This place is a disgrace! The waiter junior is rude and unhelpful, he also spits all over the place when he talks. The food is disgusting! Not fit for human consumption. Not fresh or tasty, the meat is like boot leather. The manager is rude and unhelpful. Our night was totally ruined. The place is dirty inside and not a good vibe either. I would definitely NOT recommend this place.

Nos as fancy as other Brazilian Steakhouses in Orlando, but the meats are good, not as many options as others, but if you are looking for good value and good meats it is a good place.

Very good selection of meats brought to your table and served direct off skewers. Go for the full experience and the buffet is free, and our waiter threw in a bottle of wine. Staff were friendly and attentive, and at no time where we rushed. This was our first time going to this type of Brazilian restaurant and we loved the experience.

Absolutely stunning and beautiful food served by the nicest waiters who are happy to help at anytime. The value for money here is absolutely out of this world. You have your meat cooked exactly how you want it and the salad is so fresh and overall just amazing!

This was our first meal out post-Hurricane Ian after eating in our hotel for two days. It was busy in the foyer area and we were told it would be a 40 minute wait for a table for 2. We were happy to wait given we had been stuck in the hotel. We grabbed a drink at the bar and were seated within 10 minutes. Our server was Taty who was very pleasant and helpful. It is a buffet restaurant with the option to pay extra and have carved meats served to you at your table. Good choice of salads, pastas and the served meats were very good. Only downside was it was very noisy in there so difficult to hear server's when they were telling us what meat they had to carve for us. Would recommend and would go again. Thanks to the staff for reopening so quickly after the hurricane has hit.
