One of my absolute favorite places to visit every time I'm in TJ!!!!…read more The meat there is not even comparable to any of the places here in the United States. They have much more open food selection with much wider variety either Mexican or regular American style food. They will literally always at all times be passing by with meat, you would literally get sick of it and just have to turn the sign off (even then they still come with meat lol) The service is absolutely top notch and they made sure that we have everything we needed! Even come by all the time to see if there's any meat we would like to request so they could bring it for us!!!! That's just never happened with us before!!!!!!! We had a birthday there, and I tell you they really know how to do a celebration right, you will get the very much loud and fun birthday shoutout. Also they will make you chug a shot and shake your head like they do over there. It was so special and to be remembered. Parking structure is small there, but they do have valet and they'll take care of it for you. (I believe it's only valet parking there, I could be wrong. But we got the valet parking) Price can't be beat for the quality and amount of food. Absolute steal. 2 people on a weekend with a birthday celebration and couple soft drinks and water came to be about $80ish-$90. Which if you know how much Brazilian steakhouses in the US cost, you'd know how good of a deal that is!!!!!!!! Overall, it really sucks that this place is far away, otherwise I'd have been there every weekend :) But it is a stable to go to every time I'm in Mexico.

This is an all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse in Tijuana's Zona Rio enclave. I've come here…read moreseveral times, and every time I've left satisfied. Parking here is no problem, they have a sizable lot, as well as valet parking. The place is pretty big, clean, and nicely decorated. One we got our table, we went to the salad bar area and got a plate of whatever items were going to complement our choices of meat. At the table, we got a tab where green meant we wanted to be offered a cut of meat, and red meant stop. I mainly went for the lean beef and chicken cuts. The meat options were tasty, and the variety at the salad bar was pretty good. At the tail end of dinner, we were offered cinnamon flavored pineapple, which is one of my favorites. This Brazilian steakhouse is on point. The staff here was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The meal was as satisfying as the experience here. I recommend it.

Brazilian bbq spot not too far from the main downtown area. I got here around lunch time. In the…read moremiddle, they have a huge spread of various salads, from traditional vegetable salads to seafood salads, ceviche, potatoes, cheeses, etc. On the side, they have some pasta, pizza and sliders. You'd think that they have this for the Americans, but don't overlook the sliders, they're not your usual dry burger sliders! They're al pastor sliders complete with pineapple! They also have cocktails and margaritas but I decided not to get alcoholic drinks this time around. The dessert section is huge. Each dessert is a bite-sized portion so you can try a little bit of everything! And of course the meats! I loved the beef, pork and the sausages that I got. For some reason, all the chicken ones didn't really hit the spot for me. They weren't bad though. The grilled shrimps were particularly juicy and good.

I am a huge fan of Brazilian steakhouses and this one was no exception. Went here during their…read moreweekday $29.95 lunch special and it didn't seem too busy so we were seated right away. The restaurant was spacious, well-lit, and very clean. The gaucho chefs were attentive and constantly came table side with a variety of delectable meats that were perfectly seasoned. They had a lot of options at the hot/cold bar to accompany the meats as well as sauces for the meats that I actually haven't had at other Brazilian steakhouses. The only minor complaint we had was that our drinks took a while to arrive and we were wondering if they had forgotten, but they eventually came halfway through the meal. I would've minded more if I didn't already have water and if it wasn't an AYCE buffet so I'll let it slide. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant because the quality of the meats and the friendliness of the chefs made it a wonderful experience. They always had a smile on their faces and were great at explaining the different cuts as well as asking us if we prefer any specific cut. I absolutely hate places that only bring Picanha around once in a while, but in my experience here, they were very accommodating to bring what we craved.

The food is pretty good, but not as good as the prices suggest it'd be! The service was fine. It…read morewas really busy, but I've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse that wasn't. The dining area was loud, but comfortable.
