Rancho do Ricardinho
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Rancho do Ricardinho is an all-you-can-eat churrasco operation in Mairiporã that runs weekends only and requires a call ahead.
This is Brazilian barbecue done the churrasco way — meat and fish brought to the table, reservations essential via WhatsApp. Open Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Children under seven eat free; those seven to twelve pay half price.
Cash, card, and certain meal vouchers all work. It's a ranch setting built for groups who know what they're after and plan accordingly.
