If you're looking for authentic, bold, real-deal linguica, Michael's Provision absolutely delivers! The flavor is incredible--perfect balance of smoky, savory, and just the right kick of spice. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. We've grilled it, added it to breakfast plates, tossed it into pasta... it's amazing no matter how you cook it. Fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Definitely my new go-to linguica brand. Highly recommend! read more

What a joke. I just sliced into some CHOURICO that I picked up at Stop & Shop. This is disgusting. Loaded with fat. This will be the last time I will buy this. I should've listen to my brother and got Gasbarros. In the photo you can see why I had to remove the fat. read more

Michael's Provision - A delicious Michael's chourico sandwich - Meat Shops Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Always in stock of what you need and always great service. When the crazy hoards depleted meat departments, produce departments, dairy, and grocery store shelves Michales was fully stocked and ready to help. Their meat counter is first class and they even have a decent wine selection! Their prices are very fair and if we lived closer we would certainly visit them more frequently. read more

My family and I absolutely love it here! Not only do they make the BEST chourico in the area, they also have the best selections of meats and their prices are very affordable. Their 1/4 lb. hamburg patties they make are really delicious too! Make sure to try a chourico roll... They are fresh and always yummy! read more

I go to this store quite often, however I cannot overlook this issue that has occurred. I normally purchase hamburger in 2 separate orders, either 1.5 lbs each or 2lbs each and once in a blue moon 3lbs each. I just pulled out my hamburger from the freezer. The counter person tied both together and placed the price on the one bag. I noticed it stated 6.61 lbs with a sticker price of 32.98. I knew something was wasn't right because from looking at it they were not consistent with the weight stated. I brought my scale out and sure enough it was just a hair over 4 lbs. for both bags. I wouldn't have noticed this error because typically I buy a large amount of meats for the freezers. Please people check the weights. This is not a good way of making extra money. They made over $10 for this mishap. From now on, I'm weighing everything same day before it gets frozen. Very disappointed that there is dishonesty occurring at this well known store. read more

Old school goodness. The only chouriço or linguiça that compares to the homemade sausage I took for granted growing up in Massachusetts. These days, I veer off to Fall River whenever heading up to Boston or Maine and buy enough to last me until My next trip up from DC. Spicy Chouriço is my favorite. read more

Excellent butcher shop! I was not disappointed with anything I bought there. It's a drive for me but definitely worth it.

Fantastic small local market filled with fresh produce and beautiful meats. If you're looking for friendly local business this is the one. They're in house meats are what they're known for and for good reason give them a try if you haven't! read more

The best Chourico in the area. I grew up on Michael's Provision meats.....entering their market is a smorgashboard of culinary delights. I highly recommend Michael's Provosions for all of your Portuegese delicacies. I am a customer, a fan, but not affiliated with this company in any way. This is truly a heartfelt, happy belly reccomendation. If you want or need Chourico or other Portuegese foodstuffs, Michael's Provisions should be entered into your GPS, and you should be planning a visit soon. Once you try their products, you will not need the GPS, you will know how to get there by memory! read more

i Leave in artesia california and it is very hard to find morcela blood sausage, so I was so excited when I saw it on Shopportugues .com, can't wait to try it with some portuguese wine and corn bread, I was born in Terceira Azores so this types of food have been a tradition in my family for years, my mom who is 88 still cooks home made bread god bless her. read more

Hands down best Chourico in New England .. and since New England is the only place that makes it .. the world.. I've had the rest and Michaels is so much leaner without the fat and bone you regularly find in competitors product. read more

I was born in Fall River, and most of my relatives live in MA. The only chourico we eat is Michael's! Nothing else compares; I may be biased because this is what I grew up eating. Chourico & peppers, chourico & egg sandwiches, portuguese soup (chourico, kale & potatoes), chourico & fava bean stew, etc. Whenever I or my parents go visit, we always bring back a cooler full of their hot chourico, marinated pork, finger peppers, pork marinade, and such. The chourico used to be a little bit fattier years ago (which I liked), but that's ok. It's still the BEST!!! read more

Stopped in here on a recent visit back to the east coast. Chaves is awesome, but nobody beats Michael's torresmo. We also purchased about a dozen and half papo secos and brought them home on the plane. Once again the service was incredible, and they knew us by name based on our phone orders. read more

Best prices on Portuguese products. Chourico and linguica are much cheaper here than the grocery stores. They have an extensive selection of Portuguese meat products, wines and other food items. I had them ship chourico and linguica to a relative that recently moved to California with no problems and he really appreciated the taste of home. The staff here has always been super friendly. Although I am a quarter portuguese and know the basics, I don't have an extensive knowledge of Portuguese products and they have been very helpful. It's definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

Ive been going there for a couple of years now and the service and knowledge of their staff is second to none !! The freshest meats's packaged to order no matter how big or small you may need! Great job to the staff and management read more

I just love Portuguese food and at Michael's you will find the best in the States. Been going there since the early 90's and have tried every place in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and you won't find better period. read more

I love this place!! I come here often. The meats are so fresh and so much cheaper than the regular market. Way better quality too. Great Portuguese specialty items to experiment with. I love the pre made cacoila makes a easy dinner. The staff is so friendly and I really like the frozen section. Good deals on shrimp and veggies. I hope they stay in business forever. read more

My family and I lived in Fall River for about a year and a half. We fell in love with this place. The chourico and linguica are superb. We moved away a few years ago and this is one of the places we miss. My trips to New England are always punctuated with a visit to pick up a carry-on bag full of sausage to bring home. read more

Probably the best chourico I've had. Can't say enough about their Portuguese sausages and fresh cheese...and they make their own cacoila (pork roast)! We also get all of our Portuguese tinned sardines and tuna in oil here. Wonderful place and the staff is really great. read more

I have been been driving from cape cod to michaels for years. Nothing can compare to their fresh lean chourico meat. I have had gaspars and it's loaded with globules of fat. No thanks. Michaels is lean and fantastic They also make the best chourico sliced meat. It's lean and tender. I ve tried many other places. The o their places use low end grade and it's tough. Not michaels theirs is tender and cannot be beat. If you think I'm wrong. Prove it. Try everyone else's. You ll be back there for more I guarantee. read more

I grew up in the neighborhood and been shopping here for decades. Moved thousands of miles away, yet, I still shop for my Portuguese goods when I am in the area. Chouriço dogs and hot chouriço top my list. read more

I just recently purchased two packages of chourico. I lived in this area all my life and enjoy my chourico. I tried to fry both packages and found nothing but fat. Any meat feel apart. the fat was totally hard fat. I have read a lot of the reviews and I am sorry I can't agree. Maybe this was a bad batch but expensive loss. read more

I love to shop here online because I live in Florida and it is impossible to find good Portuguese food.
