Terra Brasilis Restaurant – Union Avenue

Coming from Texas these gems don’t come around so often unless you want to pay an arm and leg at Fogo! Amazing homemade Brazilian food and the price is even better!

Terra Brasilis is my favorite place to get a quick bite to eat. Well stocked buffet with a good amount of variety. Meat spins on swords over coals all day imparting a nice grill flavor.
You can eat there for $ 10 or less a person and walk out full. I wouldn’t call it health food but if you stick to meats, rice, and veggies it’s a lot healthier than many restaurants.
You will most likely be greeted in Portuguese but the staff all speak enough English to serve and check you out without any confusion.
Overall, great buffet with tasty meats at a great price.

I came here for an Easter Lunch and the buffet is one of the best in Boston. The food here is very fresh and the choice of meats is spectacular. Im so happy to have stumbled upon this amazing restaurant !

Food is not good at all. Dull and bland in flavor. feels like they aren’t even trying. Not to mention it’s super expensive…$ 7.99/pound? Way to rip people off

Excellent food buffet style (you pay by the pound), friendly service, good prices, too! We stopped for dinner off the turnpike, then bought more for dinner the next night. Customers were all Brazilian.

Fantastic! This place is great. Nuff said.
Ok, some more detail. This is a real deal Brazilian restaurant. This is no silly chain, gimmick shop. Enter Terra and all you will hear is Portuguese being spoken. When a place is full of locals — that is a good sign in my book.
You walk in and straight to the back where you grab a plate and get in line, cafeteria style. You walk by an array of food items from rice and beans to fried shrimp, salad, pasta, etc. until you get to the main event…
Oh, the meat. The meat. The meat. The meat. They have beef on big skewers on a rotisserie that they slice off for you. They also have a few different kinds of sausage on the rotisserie as well. I got my meat medium with some spicy sausage as well. Oh, and don’t sleep on the dessert counter either. I got a slice of the chocolate cake. It is off the charts good, made with what seems to be condensed milk. The staff here is super friendly as well.
We stuffed ourselves for about $ 12 per person. It truly was fantastic.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience here today! The staff was very friendly (they explained exactly how everything worked when I walked in), the food was delicious (so much variety, delicious tender meat, and yummy desserts), and the restaurant was very clean. Staff was very quick to clean off tables when people were done. Best of all, the meal only cost (for two people) $ 18! Absolutely going back again. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Oh my, this is my favorite place. I love to get ribs, lamb, and kielbasa. Also excellent is the chicken wrapped in bacon, beef wrapped in bacon, sirloin, chicken wings. I don’t remember ever getting anything that I didn’t like. They always have beans and rice and fried plantains plus other vegetables. My wife loves the fried fish from the buffet. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. And don’t worry if you get too much, it’s great the next day!

The place is definitely a moms and pops kind of restaurant. I went here with my husband a couple of weeks ago and the food was so delicious! I would definitely come back here to eat for good and quick Brazilian food versus the pricey Brazilian restaurant in Boston. Good price and good food!

I have never had Brazilian food before and today was my first time at this establishment. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I will most definitely return soon!

Like most of you Unilocalers, I came here at night for the discount. The food still really adds up because of the heavy meat, but that isn’t why my rating is only three stars. The meat was very overcooked and dry. I also thought it lacked flavor. This was really disappointing as I tried out many different cutlets. The sides did no favors either. I thought the selection was just OK.

Bring back 40% off after 9pm and MAYBE I’ll re-​review with a 5 star rating. Other than that the food is good. The prices are just ridiculous unless you get the take out special after 9pm

Probably I am a horrible customer who come here after 9pm for 40% off discounted price for the to-​go option. But it’s difficult to resist this option. I am often surprised how similar the Brazilian food is when compared to Korean dishes. For example, this place often have intestine soup, fried pork skin, or salted dried fish dishes, which are very similar to the comfort food in Korea. The okra, fried plantains, fish soup, potato salads, and pork dishes are my favorite too. But the highlight is the meat. I always get medium-​rare. I am glad that this place is in Framingham. Oh and make sure to try their desserts. Flan was good and I am trying different cakes every now and then. My friend likes the cashew juice so I tried it once and it was very interesting taste (In a good way). The chocolates and snacks near the counter is almost impossible to resist.

I’ve been working in area for 2 weeks and decided to try this place. Wow! The fish was absolutely amazing. The stew meat soup was fabulous. Also had some steamed spinach which was very tasty. Pleasantly surprised by the place. Great to grab a quick meal on the go.

Not a very clean place, Brazilian restaurants are famous for their bbq this one was not good at all… Very dry meat, overcooked, no flavor, buffet food looks like it’s been sitting there for a long long time… We got there and nobody was helping us… not good for a first impression. If you like to eat meat the taste like a piece of rubber… Feel free to go there.

My wife and I had to be in Framingham, my old home town, for a function. We found this on Unilocal and gave it a try. Great food! Atmosphere is casual, clean and comfortable. The service was friendly and attentive. We had the beef empanadas appetizer, carne asada, and a chicken dish. Plus a passion fruit and milk smoothie which was wonderful. Very reasonably priced.

This place is great! The food is all very authentic and it’s always ready, so there’s no wait. The best part is the meat — all authentic Brazilian steak and sausage. The waitresses were nice. One tip, learn a few phrases in Portuguese as that’s their default language. Enjoy!

I love Brazilian buffets. This place is very good. I would consider it similar to most other Brazilian places I have been. Their cold/​hot buffet is larger then most, but similar stuff.
The meat: Sirloin is absolutely to die for. Kielbasa is very good. The pork and chicken wrapped in bacon can be hit or miss though. Sometimes is very dry, others is very good.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this spot.

Outstanding food at reasonable prices. If you don’t like salt it’s not the place for you. Pick and choose what you want to eat from the buffet table and large array of grilled meats.
The only down side is once in a while the meat gets a bit well done.

Here for a week and staying with a good friend and fellow capoeirista in Framingham and before I came here to visit constantly told me how Brazilian Massachusetts is and I didn’t realize it until the numerous stores!
This place is cut and dry «por kilo» meaning per pound in which you pile up your plate, they weigh it and everytime you come back for more whether it be desserts, drinks or more food, you pay at the very end.
The sides are typical Brazilian: salad, rice, beans, some sort of a casserole, fries, etc. Their meat is at the very end and is fresh, well prepared and very good. (you really can’t fuck up Brazilian churrasco. It’s just rock salt)
They honestly should invest in a beer/​wine license. I would have loved to have a Brahma or a Skol alongside my pichana e arroz but it’s all good. Second time in one week I’ve been here.
The staff is nice and the food is delicious. Beleza!
