Drinks were great Food was alright Steak was great Host were attentive Would go back again

Cheeseburger ... Zero complaints!!
Yayi U.

It's noisy. The sound system is off balance...but... live talent this Friday night was phenomenal. We were looking to go to another spot but they were closed 10pm. This place was open.. lively and kitchen was open. I had salmon dish with black bean"salad"... really good. He had a cheeseburger.. didn't last but 4 mints on his plate. So if you like the music.. the fun... the nice energy (your free to dance)... then yes! Recommended. It was a little too loud for but the food and vibe is good

Peach Sangria

Atmosphere is really nice! Came here on a Saturday they had a band playing a variety of music. Peach sangrias we're strong and delicious! All girls working the bar are sexist. Would like more women to be as welcoming as they are to the men. Overall good place to stop in for quick drinks!

Steak, chicken, sausage, chicken heart

Great food, ambiance and service at Delicias de Mincas. The meat selection was good but not extensive, the chicken was probably the most disappointing but the steak cuts were all pretty decent. Guarana soda was fantastic, first time trying it.

All you can eat - November 2019
Laiza H.

I have a love and hate feeling about this place. It's not consistent, some people are rude, and the food sometimes is amazing and sometimes not so good. It's overpriced but it's the best you can get in that area. Read my full review below: I lived in New Jersey for over a year before moving to North Carolina so I used to visit this restaurant sometimes. Here and there I visit New Jersey and I stop by to eat some Brazilian food. BRAZILIAN STYLE: if you're not familiar with Brazilian rodízio (all you can eat) here's how it works at this restaurant: if you choose the "all you can eat" option, you can visit the salad bar and the churrasco (meat) area as many times as you want. The second Option is to pay by the pound, so you add as much food as you want to your plate and pay by the weight. Remember that if you choose the all you can eat option you can't take the leftovers home, waste food or share of course. FOOD: the main thing here is the meat. I recommend you trying picanha (top sirloin steak) that's cooked over the fire. The salad bar has lots of good sides for you to choose from. I recommend white rice, tropeiro (beans with sausage and collard greens), yuca fries, salpicão (chicken mayo salad) and maybe add some salgadinhos (Brazilian croquettes). They also have good sausages and other meats and grilled pineapple. INSIDE: it has a Brazilian vibe to it and sometimes there's live music. PROS: - There's a great variety of sides and meat; - There's a Brazilian vibe; - It's mostly authentic; - The best place to try Brazilian food for the first time. But make sure to read the cons below. CONS: - Overpriced. The quality isn't that good for how much they charge you. This isn't Fogo de Chão folks. - CHECK YOUR BILL! Never leave a Brazilian restaurant without checking your bill. Trust me. - Don't go there in the first hour after they open. I went there last weekend and the salgadinhos were cold and the picanha was hard and dry and tasted like it was warmed up from the day before. - When I asked for water they brought me a bottled water by default. - My husband ordered a soda and it came when he was almost done with his food. - They charge you between 15% or 20% gratuity even though it's a buffet and you're the one going there to get your own food. - Location: It's not in a good area. Actually I got my car hit by someone and they left without leaving a note or something so I don't really like going there because of the location. I know it's not the restaurant's fault, just saying what happened to me. - The lady at the register was screaming at the poor waitress "close table x, close table x" and it was kinda rude, especially in front of the costumers. I've seen other people complaining about her attitude before. Overall: I've had great and bad experiences at this place. I recommend it to my friend and she had a great time and loved the food but unfortunately when I took my husband he didn't really like it. But it's kinda the best you can get in that area. PS: Photos are from November 2019. I had a good experience that day and the food was amazing! I didn't take photos in the last visit.

Center tables and chairs removed to open up a dance floor with a live band on he weekends.

Best Deal Hands Down!! $15.99 all you can eat picanha and other limited meats along with their salad bar but the the other meats don't compare to the other place I went to last week, plus look at the grill here...it's doesn't compare :( You don't get skirt steak, NY, fillet mignon or beef ribs. I recently dined at Churrascuria Boi Na Brasa and it was excellent (4 Stars); the meats you were able to choose from were much more than here, but it's almost double the price when comparing the two. They had picanha, beef ribs, skirt steak, chicken, sausage. 5/5 Value for this place is superb! But make sure you get the meat cooked with less temperature; the ones they cut for me were over cooked, but for the others it was fine. 2/5 Quality of the beef wasn't high; I found the meat to be tougher than than the other place we went to and unless I was eating the meat rare, I wouldn't enjoy it at all. For this place, one of the best parts was the collards. They were so delicious, I couldn't stop eating them; they needed to bring out more and I was super appreciative of that. Service here was very good too. On the weekends, this place becomes a sort of club with live music and they clear out the center tables and chairs to create a pseudo dance floor. They also offer bottle service from Black Label, to Ciroc and much more, and the prices are very cheap. I'm if you've got a table with a few bottles, it'll be your lucky night. Dine and dance on the cheap!

Been a short while since dining at Delícias, the quality is second to none and the service is top notch. The buffet options change time to time but always wonderful. The only reason for the missing star is the prices, seems more money for less but will still continue to dine here due to quality and service.

Garlic shrimp
Zahiyah R.

The food was delicious. I stopped for a drink but after seeing meals come out I decided to give it a try. The calamari was a 10/10 perfect crunch and the cocktail sauce was amazing. The garlic shrimp very tasty. The steak with sweet potatoes fries and spinach was better than I could imagined. Cooked to the perfect temperature, juicy and flavorful. Also loved the hot pepper sauce they brought out but be careful lol.

$15 all you can eat buffet including bbq, dessert, and a drink
Seems U.

This place is awesome, and definitely one of my favorite places in the Ironbound. You can pay for food by the pound, but if you are eating there, I would recommend the special. For $15 (I think it might be a dollar more on weekends), you get all the food you can eat from the buffet, any barbecue/churrascaria items from the grill, a drink (canned soda or Snapple), and a dessert. This will most likely be cheaper than paying separately, and is definitely a good value. The buffet has a bunch of different salads as well as hot foods. The menu varies, but they normally have empadas (similar to empanadas), mini pao de queijo (cheese bread), different meat stews, various veggie dishes, fish, chicken, creamed corn, pasta, and more. The menu is typically not labeled but you can ask if you want to know what something is, and I would just suggest trying everything and seeing what you like. I have especially enjoyed the chicken, fish, and veggies (in particular, I had this amazing butternut squash thing recently). The barbecue is all excellent and well cooked. If you get the special, it excludes the top sirloin but you still have tons of other options. The linguica (sausage) is very tasty, as is the sirloin (tender and flavorful) and the ribs. You can also get anything you want to go and pay by the pound. Most of the meats i have tried have been really good (I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken wrapped in bacon) and I recommend trying a bunch of different stuff. Every dessert I have had has been amazing. They have different fruit mouses, chocolate mousse (which is my favorite),brigadeiro (chocolate balls), flan, and some other stuff. Huge dessert selection and it is all pretty good. There can be a little bit of a language barrier at times, but the staff is super nice and makes it work. I would suggest keeping an open mind and trying everything if you are unfamiliar with Brazilian cuisine. They recently renovated some parts of the restaurant and it looks great as well and is also nicely decorated. It is also BYOB!

They need bigger plates! Lol

I will preface this rating with I am rating this restaurant against 2 Brazilian restaurants. Texas De Brazil and Gauchos Do Sul. The only Brazilian food I have had that my wife hasn't cooked (she's Brazilian and cooks amazing). I have no understanding how this restaurant has a current rating of only 3.5 stars. Yes, it is not a dress up and candle light dinner type atmosphere; however, the reason I go to restaurants for food is because I want EXCELLENT food. This place did not disappoint! Wow, the food was fantastic and it was a very clean atmosphere. The ambience was perfect for filling every inch of my stomach with excellent Brazilian food. This restaurant is an absolute must if you have never had Brazilian food. The food was exactly how my wife cooks it with plenty of food that I have never tried. My wife was over the moon happy to have what she called the most authentic Beazilian food she has had since moving to the states. We will be going back for more!

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

The Mixed Meat option had several different preparations of beef and a sausage served with a salad, french fries, and white rice. It was a generous portion of meat in a large plate. For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party. There is lots of space in the restaurant with different rooms. One room seemed specifically set up for large parties whereas another room was set up like a typical restaurant. Our party was able to relax and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling any time pressures from the staff. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

The meal also came with rice, beans, plantains, and pico de gallo, which were all delicious and complemented the meats really well. We also ordered mashed potatoes on the side, which were fantastic. We brought our own birthday cake, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. They cut it for us, came over to sing, and really helped make the celebration feel special. We had such a lovely time.

This is a typical…read moreself-service buffet type of restaurant which is very common in Brazilian communities in Newark-NJ, Astoria-NY and many other locations. You make your plate, weigh and pay about $10 per pound. My feijoada plate from the attached picture had a little less than a pound so I paid around $9 which is a great deal especially if you compare to other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is somewhat small, simple, but there are enough tables for everyone even during lunch hours. Staff is friendly, they give you privacy to pick your food without anyone bothering you, food is tasty and the variety is ok. I wish they had Brazilian barbecue similar to other restaurants in the area but I can't really complain because the food and price were great. Compared to other Brazilian restaurants in the area this place has a big advantage because the process is very simple. Other restaurants such as Casa Nova, Cantinho Mineiro, Delícia de Minas also offer a buffet option but their process is very complicated. They have a prix fixe option for a set price and then if you add meat it's a different price, if you want to take something to go you need to pick a prix fixe container for a different price. It's just too confusing and I don't really like that, hence my preference for this Brazilian buffet restaurant. Don't expect any luxury or lots of variety. This is a practical restaurant offering food for a fair price. I definitely recommend it. Note that there's just street parking and the Wilson Ave area tends to be busy so keep that in mind.

I really loved the service and how attentive our waiter was; he gave recommendations and explained the whole rodizio experience. They have a small salad bar with a selection of cold pasta salad, Caesar salad, arugula salad, white rice and different sauces. The waiter brought sweet plantains and cheesy bread balls to the table which were both absolutely delightful.

The meats were delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The server asks how you like your meats cooked prior to the service starting.
