Panela De Barro - Waltham

Staff was extremely friendly and the food had great quality. For the price per ounce I will have to say, Panela De Barro is an excellent affordable choice. With a meal in the $10-$20 range, I'm certain you will leave full and satisfied.

This is sort of a brazilian churrascaria though it's not the traditional green/red card system where you get served at your table. This one, i am still confused about the pricing model, and it feels pretty disabling. I didn't check what tier thecashier put me in and the signage is confusing. My best guess is that 4 pieces of meat from the hot buffet puts you in thenormal $10.99/lbs pricing. If you get 4 pieces of meat from churrascaria you get charged $15.79/lbs. And if you get meat only, ithink it's $20.99 from memory. We decided to share a big box and got 4 pieces from buffet as well as 4 from churrascaria, andwe paid $22. Drinks are $2-$4 for glass bottle of cashew juice or guava. Overall, it was good and there's option to take outor eat in the back room set up like a restaurant. Quality was good. We'll go back, paying more attention to pricing.

I leave in Waltham for more than 20 years I?ve been going into this restaurant since they open but I won?t come back anymore, NEVER, first reason is,right now food does not taste like a real Brazilian food plus a Spanish lady who works there, a small andchubby lady who serve cut my meat, she was really mean to me,she called me a liar, she screamed at me only because I asked herto change the meat she was cutting because was not cooked enough for my test , I was so embarrassed, the worse experience lever had,never no one called me a liar only because of piece of meat. I will never come back, I used to know the owner he usedto be Carlos but I?m not sure. Don?t recommend employees is horrible!!!!!!

I'm a Gringo and don't speak a word of Portuguese, but this is one of my favorite restaurants in Massachusetts. It may not look like much from the outside, but the buffet is amazing, and the variety of meats is exceptional. I always load my plate with fruits, vegetables, and meats, and it usually costs me around $20. Whenever I'm in the Waltham or Newton area, this is my go-to spot for lunch. The staff is incredibly friendly. Parking can be a bit tricky, so you might need to circle the block a few times to find street parking, but it's definitely worth it!

The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is consistently friendly! Parking can be challenging, especially during the busy lunch hours. I also appreciate that there are different specials every weekday, which adds some variety.
