Local-favorite Portuguese grill with generous portions and low prices; best for mixed grills and takeaway, but expect waits at peak times and occasional service hiccups.
Our take
Churrasqueira Central de Francos delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong grilled meats and Portuguese comfort cooking paired with exceptional value and warm, helpful service. However, quality control slips during busy periods—overcooked steak, cold plates, occasional fryer issues—and service slowdowns at peak hours prevent grade A territory. Best experienced during off-peak times when the kitchen's strengths shine.
One caveat: Service can slow drastically with only one server on the floor at times
