It may sound costly, but you will never want any other carne asada in the entire WORLD. After cooking this meat on the grill many, many times, I've realized that I have never found any other carne asada that comes close to this meat in quality, tenderness, or flavor anywhere. It is amazing and well worth the price you pay for it. Try $3/lb carne and $6/lb carne and you'll definitely taste the difference. That is, unless you've been drinking all afternoon before you ate... in which case, everything magically tastes great and you'd probably be too inebriated to make any sort of judgment at all. Kennedy's Market and their alleged "best carne asada in Imperial Valley" will never compare to El Sol's carne asada. Ever. It's one of very few things I miss about the Valley.

There is also a large food bar with MANY options. I do recommend brushing up on your espanol though, it'll make the experience mucho mejor. Another cool thing is that the have a waitresses with different alcohol beverages (at additional costs). Also there was a decrease in price after a certain time but I'm not sure if this is a normal special. Now to the comparisons, the meats are cooked medium from what I could tell. Some Brazilian steak houses tend towards the medium rare side but not Pampas although you could probably ask. All the meats felt a little more fatty than some of the other steakhouses I've been to, not saying they don't have those better cuts of meat but I also never asked for them so I was eating based on requests from the other table. The food buffet was quite good and honestly I would've enjoyed eating more of the buffet if I wasn't focused on the meats. They brought out a pitcher of sangria that was really good. Overall I had a really good experience. It's comparable to a good Brazilian steakhouse and the price is really affordable. The ambiance is nice, the servers are all polite and friendly. Some of the guys serving the meats seemed a little ready to get off work but overall I had a great time. Worth checking out if you're visiting Mexicali!

There were abundant cuts of meats that made their way around the restaurant, and the service here easily bests and rivals the kind you would find in some high-end restaurants in Los Angeles or New York. One helpful tip: It definitely helps to bring a Spanish speaker with you, or to brush up on your own Spanish skills. There are limited instructions in English, but most staff only speaks Spanish. I look forward to my return! ******************** ¡UN RESTAURANTE DESTACADO EN MEXICALI! Fui con un grupo grande en un sábado por la noche. La comida era fresca y absolutamente deliciosa. Habían abundantes cortes de carne que se repartieron a través del restaurante, y el servicio aquí fue excelente y rivaliza con el tipo que encontraría en algunos restaurantes de alta gama en Los Ángeles o Nueva York. Un consejo: Es bastante útil llevar a un hablante de español con usted, o mejorar sus propias habilidades con el español. Hay instrucciones limitadas en inglés, pero la mayoría del personal solo habla español. ¡Espero regresar!

We had a parillada. The chicken was good, the beef ok and the little ribs and tripas weren't very good. A couple people in our party order a dish off the menu (not part of the buffet) and they were not happy. The restaurant put very little meat in it and it was a waste of money. I left feeling full but disappointed with my dinner for the most part. The service seemed ok. Overall I'd eat here again if invited. I've actually eaten here twice. It wouldn't be my first choice for steak in Mexicali though.
