Had a wonderful experience thanks to Maria, Renê, and especially Kevin V! I have many food allergies and sensitivities, such as gluten, garlic, canola oil, etc. and not only do they have a very thorough allergy list for their menu, but they are very knowledgeable about what is in the dishes. Most of their meat is just rotisseried on the skewers with salt, no canola/seed oils/butter. Kevin was so helpful going over what meats I can have, and communicated that to all of the staff that visited our table! He even made another order of my favorite, the beef rib, even though it was nearly closing. It was lovely treat to be able relax knowing that they were so considerate and conscientious about my food allergies and sensitivities! read more

I have not been in this location in awhile. 2026 review. Went here for a work function. We all opted in to get the all you can eat meat and salad bar, $78 per person. No complaints on the food. The meats served were absolutely delicious! The meats were all so very good. Chicken, lamb, cow, and pig did not dissapoint! It all really comes down how much a person can really eat. The salad bar was absolutely fulfilling. After I got tired of the meats I went to the salad bar. Salad bar was great. Great salad servings with fish, salmon, figs, eggplants etc. You cant go wrong either way. Only one complaint. Bathrooms were dirty. They can use some help on that department. It did not feel clean. Overall, this place is outstanding! read more

Usually a big fan of Fogo because the food and service is usually good, but today was the opposite. Our party finished our entire plate of salad bar items and then sat waiting for about 20 minutes before anyone with meat came around. By that point, we were already full, so we got very limited rounds versus what we're used to. At the end, after my card was already charged, I asked if I could get a small box for the bread on our table (just three pieces) to bring home for someone. I wasn't asking for extra, just what was already on our table. I understand the no take-home policy for all-you-can-eat items, but this didn't feel like that situation. The staff member (name started with "Mar" and ended with "ly") argued with me about it. I told her I was willing to pay, and she ended up storming off charging my card $10, but the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational. Having worked in customer service for years, I know how important it is to communicate respectfully and find reasonable solutions and many times get to 'yes' when you're able to. This experience didn't reflect that. It wasn't about the money, it was about how the situation was handled as there was negative intent assumed upon me by this individual or at least that's how it felt, almost as if I was trying to steal. I'm fair, honest and I'm not rich by any means so treating me like this after spending my hard earned $360 is a feeling I hope no one has to experience. I completely understand enforcing policies, especially if someone is trying to take advantage, but this felt like a small, reasonable request that could have been handled more smoothly. I probably won't come back read more

4.5 stars (rounding up on a good day) This Fogo de Chão location is playing a slightly higher league than the rest of the chain--and you can taste it. The filet mignon was absurdly tender, the kind that barely requires a knife and still delivers real flavor (not always a given with filet). But the real standout? The beef ribs--rich, deeply seasoned, and unapologetically indulgent in the best way. Each pass from the gauchos felt like a highlight reel instead of filler. Even the "supporting cast" overdelivered. The pão de queijo came out warm and airy with that addictive chew, the fried bananas had a perfect caramelized edge without tipping into dessert territory, and the polenta was actually craveable--crispy outside, creamy center, not an afterthought. Brazilian lemonade was too foamy for my taste. Service was warm but a touch out of sync. We had to flag down our favorite cuts more than once, which slightly interrupts the whole effortless churrasco flow. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable when everything else is dialed in. All in, this is one of those rare chain experiences that feels... upgraded. When they're on, they're really on--and this location clearly knows it. read more

Came here for lunch to celebrate Dad's birthday. Only Dad added a meat option and had Picanha. The 3 of us got the all you can eat Market Table. Parking is a little walk to the front of the restaurant, we should have dropped Dad off at the front but he insisted on walking. I walked ahead to put our name in for a table, they said we had to wait until the whole party was there. We were greeted by a friendly host and I informed her we were celebrating a birthday. We were seated fairly quickly and our server came by to pour water. There was an insect floating in my water, so she removed all the glasses and brought us new ones. The Market Table had plenty of choices of salads, fruits, cheeses, charcuterie, veggies, soup and feijoada. Everything was delicious! The gauchos came around a couple of times for Dad's Picanha, which he enjoyed. Our server could have been a little more attentive. She came to fill our water once and failed to fill mine. I had to track someone else down. Dad was offered dessert for his birthday, which we asked to take home. Food was good, ambiance was good, friendly employees. read more

What happened to my third favorite restaurant on earth? Look at all my reviews. I'm the furthest thing from bougie, needy, or demanding. Two stars because the happy hour menu "looked" pretty good, only got to try one thing. -3 stars because there is no reason why, on a Wednesday, when we're the only 2 people at the bar and there are 2 bartenders and what looked like a manager walking by us, staring at us for 30 minutes while our glasses have been empty and waiting to order food. One of the bartenders finally came by and noticed saying, "I'll be right back to take your order." God knows what was important in the empty restaurant, only to return and stare at us for another 10 minutes? Everyone looked miserable. It's not my job to flag you down every time I need something. My cousin gave zero tip for the first time in his life. C'mon guys. read more

Fogo de Chão - Empty bar - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

Came here on a Friday night around 8:00 and got sat within 15 minutes! It was packed so it was nice to not wait too long. The server was great, super friendly and constantly checking in on us. The food from the buffet was very tasty. All super fresh and tons of options! Especially loved the roasted garlic! The meat was all so tasty! There were so many options and we didn't have to wait long for another meat to be offered. The melted cheese and honey was crazy good and unexpected! The chicken breast was so delicious and the beef rib was crazy tender! Definitely recommend read more

Fogo de Chão - Buffet food - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

Came to celebrate our anniversary, Upon arrival, we were seated by the door to the patio. I didn't mind it too much, but throughout the meal I kept getting hit with the smell of a wet cloth as servers were constantly going to the stand near us. It definitely took a while to receive any meat--it seemed like they wanted us to fill up on the sides first. I would say it took at least 15 minutes. After the sides came out, we asked for meat since they kept skipping. At one point I was served something I learned that day was called "blue," meaning it wasn't fully cooked. The outside is quickly seared for just a few seconds per side. It was definitely an experience. The server was very persistent about encouraging me to try it, insisting I would like it, but after the first bite I immediately knew it wasn't my cup of tea. He seemed a little disappointed, but to each their own. Suggestions are always appreciated--just maybe without looking so heartbroken! With all that blood, I swear I could see the heartbeat. read more

Baseline: For a sit down semi-casual restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and value of the overall dining experience. Food: Brazilian churrasco was great today! We stuck with Single Churrasco Cuts this visit which will fill you up. Piranha and Fraldinha for beef and I would say the Fraldinha meats made it around more frequently. We also had a dry-aged Tomahawk Ribeye for the table which had a great fat content and delicious seasoned crust to the steak. The Full Churrasco is the way to go if you are hungry so you can get the parade of different meats. The Market Bar and Feijoada bar was full of different food items and was super satisfying. Service: Great service from all the staff for our dining experience. Ambiance: Fogo de Chao was clean and the table/seating was well organized. read more

Thank you Fogo for reaching out to me and giving my experience a second chance. Service was on point, drinks were amazing and dessert just wow! The buffet was full! Bathroom clean. I understand things get busy and Fogo proved themselves. I can't wait to return again. I loved dressing up and bringing my mom and the ladies out. They all loved it! read more

I visited Fogo De Chao El Segundo for dinner with my wife on 5/2/26. We've been going to Fogo at other locations as well as this one for the past 10 years without a single bad experience. Until now. We both got the full Churrasco dinner and simply put, we did not get enough meat. There was either just not enough, or the servers were ignoring our side of the restaurant. We asked for more meat to be brought to our table TWICE, and got a few offerings before service dropped off again. We were waiting for 10-15 minute stretches with NOTHING offered. The table next to us had a similar experience, commenting that the lack of meat was surprising. Finally after sitting there underserved for 2 hours we gave up and left. I've never left a Fogo De Chao hungry before, so this was VERY disappointing. I used to be able to count on Fogo for quality and value, sadly this experience has really eroded my trust. read more

This place was amazing, from the time we arrived to the very end. All nine of us arrived and were seated within minutes. We said we would have all-you-can-eat. And boy was it all you can eat. We had every meat they offered and loved every piece of meat we could get our hands on.LOL.... The bar salad had many choices to pick from. The all-you-can-eat doesn't include Drinks, Dessert, and other specialty items on the menu. The atmosphere was busy, noise level was surprisingly low for a restaurant full of hungry humans. Beautifully decorated.Highly recommend this restaurant. They have Valet parking, Skip it. You'll wait 10-15 minutes standing around waiting for your car. Don't be lazy and walk to your car, it's faster than Valet, and you'll save some ridiculous Fee. read more

This review goes towards service at Fogo De Chaño. The only time we got service was the time we sat down by the host. After that one time nobody came to check on us. Asked if we needed water,drinks, or anything. There was no waiter or waitress being attentive. From the time we got there it was not busy at all. Sitting right next to the cashier where they would come all the time and not once ask if we needed any service. The one waitress we ask for drinks had an attitude upon asking. Horrible service for a so called great restaurant and especially for the price we pay. read more

Fogo de Chão - Receipt for horrible service - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

This is my third time at this location, and tonight I treated my mother and grandmother for a Mother's Day dinner. We ordered the full churrasco experience. During the whole time of our visit... NOT ONE SERVER came to check on us. I had to raise my hand for a water refill and extra napkins for the table. Then we felt rushed to finish eating, brought the tab to the table without even asking for it and then initiated that they only accept credit card transactions. My honest opinion, I felt disrespected and unseen the entire time. Definitely pulling the racist card! Do better with service to everyone! read more

Fogo de chao is just not the place for me. I feel highly out of place here and out of my social class LOL. The meat was alright and there wasn't anything that stood out to me in particular. I will say that the cheese balls and honey cheese were great. Maybe this place should just turn into a cheese shop. Service was fast and servers were receptive. Will never come back here again but it was a unique experience to say the least. read more

We have come to this Fogo de Chão a few times! Always a different experience, but we leave full and satisfied! This Fogo de Chão location is visible from Rosecrans Ave. There is valet parking with varying prices in front or a self-parking garage with 90 minutes free. The best bang for your buck is the Churrasco Experience! It's all you can eat (AYCE)! Included in the price are the meats, Market Table, & sides. Items that are included that you can request are the cheese with honey and grilled pineapple with brown sugar. Both are so good! When we come on Sundays for the Brunch, there's also an Omelet Station. TIP: If you have a Sam's Club or Costco Membership, you can buy a $100 eGift Card for $79.98 (Sam's Club) or $79.99 (Costco). Must buy online and you will get an email with the eGift Card numbers. Be sure to join Fogo Rewards if you plan on dining a few times a year. It is worth it! You get to choose which reward you want from three options. The Gaucho Chefs carve the meat so fast I have a hard time taking pictures and then later trying to remember what I was eating! There are discs on the table. One side is red, the other is green. Flip the disc to green if you want more meat and red if you don't. On our latest visit on Oct. 26, 2025, I requested the hot sides (Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Caramelized Plantains & Crispy Polenta, and Pão de Queijo) to be brought out after we had made a trip to the market table and acquired some meat but they brought them all out right away. I dislike them getting cold on the table while we are away. Anyways... The Churrasco Experience includes a nice variety of meats. My favorite is the Lamb. We both love the Picanha (top sirloin), Bone-in Ribeye, Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), Filet, & Medalhes com Bacon. The favorite is the Bone-in Ribeye. If there are certain cuts of meats you want but the aren't making it to your table, you can ask the staff. You can also request Med. Rare if that's how you like it. Most of the meats that came to our table during our latest visit were Well Done and we don't like meat cooked that much!! We flagged down a staff member and they eventually brought out meat to our liking. Good to know! This is my birthday month, so we need to go again! They sent me $25 off a Full Churrasco. read more

One of my kids received a digital deal for Fogo so we decided to go there for a birthday celebration. It was a wonderful choice. For roughly $50 each, we were able to enjoy a wide selection of meats and a nice variety of salad bar items. Nothing in the salad bar rocked my world but there wasn't anything I disliked. The special did exclude a few choice meat selections but with the choices that did come around, we didn't notice their omission. The majority of the meat was oh so tender. There were 2 beef selections that were on the dry side but not too bad. The only item that I raised my eyebrows at was the bacon wrapped chicken. It was dry. Sahara Desert dry. But you can't win them all right? Overall, A-1. Sorry I can't name all the meat selections but the restaurant is on the noisy side so it was hard to hear the servers as they brought each item out. The service was top notch. So much better than the Brazilian place I went to in Gardena. Everyone here was so pleasant and helpful. Just made it a great evening. They also brought out a complementary chocolate lava cake for the birthday girl. Parking is plentiful in the multi level structure. You'll enter the office building lobby and walk about 50 yards to the restaurant entrance. I did notice that they charge $12 for valet service so be forewarned. The structure was free Sunday night but I don't know when gates are closed and paid parking is in effect. read more

Great value when you've got people who can eat! Perfect choice for our group of large men who love beef lol. Actually even the grandparents who don't eat meat love it here because they can get the salad bar only - this is no ordinary salad bar. Soooo many atypical items in the salad bar like papaya, fresh pomegranate, smoked salmon etc. The other more common options were fresh and great quality. Love how clean they maintain the salad bar too. Note - we like the fogo on La Cienaga in BH the best. Much larger, the el Segundo location is more cramped with the tables a bit too close together and it gets quite crowded. The Pasadena location is the largest but not well maintained. read more

Great good, great ambience! What an amazing experience every time we go there to dine in. We love this place so much that we don't mind paying because you ge what you pay for. One of the best churrasco Brazilian restaurants I've been. I highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed and it's always worth it! read more

I've come to this location quite a few times with my boyfriend. I prefer this location because there is ample free parking nearby. Unfortunately this time wasn't as good as this location usually is. We were in the same section as a LARGE birthday party and I think our waitress was overwhelmed because she barely came around to us. Additionally, we didn't get as much of a selection of meats as we usually do. We were passed up by a couple of the meat guys and I think it was because they were caught up with the big party. Eh. Food here is usually really tasty. Truly the baked cheese drizzled with honey. Mmmm... so good. Frugal auntie tip: make sure to sign up for their rewards program online because they will send you all kinds of offers. For your birthday, you'll get $25 off your meal AND a free dessert. My bf got the tres leches to go and he was telling his family recently just how good it was. read more

Fogo de Chão - Green means go - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

If you read my first 2 reviews of this location I was thrilled with their food and their service. We've had quite a few interactions with both managers so I know they take their jobs seriously. Unfortunately we have had a few bad experiences with service lately. Tried to celebrate our anniversary on a Sunday night and were asked if we minded being sat outside. I responded that as long as the meat choices made it outside too I didn't have a problem. The hostess assured me we would be well fed. That was not the case. Our original server hard came around and the guys with the meats barely came outside. We were there waiting when a young lady noticed we were waiting for a while and took it upon herself to take a list of the cuts we wanted and went inside to let them know we were outside. Even though she walked out with them when they brought out the meat and even pointed at our table we were still ignored. Thank goodness for the salad bar. Eventually we got some meat but it wasn't like the other times we've come here. read more

I honestly don't understand the hype around Fogo de Chão. The service was terrible from start to finish. After being seated, our assigned waiter showed up once to take our drink order and then completely disappeared for the rest of the night. We had to flag down multiple random servers just to get basic drink refills, which is unacceptable for a place at this price point. It felt like no one was actually responsible for our table. To make it worse, when we were ready to leave, we waited so long for the bill that we eventually had to get up and go to the front hostess stand ourselves. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the bussers and the meat servers were actually kind and doing their jobs. Everyone else? Completely absent. First time here, and definitely the last. Not worth the money or the frustration. read more

Fogo de Chão - Receipt - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

So most restaurants use the text message method in order to let you know when your table is ready. We did get a text message about confirmation that our table would be ready in about an hour the hour past and people were being seated so when we confronted them about it, they said they've been calling us but there was no text stating that our table was ready they then said they just call out names mind you this is a packed restaurant day before Mother's Day. I hate to pull a race card, but my in-laws being a black descent darker complexion were given the runaround as soon as I got to the desk, I myself of lighter complexion, gave me no issues whatsoever and was ready to see me not realizing who my party was.. if it wasn't for the waiter we would've left. He explained they were new hires pulled in from other areas, which is no excuse, but not his fault.other ten that food was amazing but This location will not be getting my service again. The young girls I encountered are rude catty and stuck up. read more

I received a call and an email from the manager and they made it right. Very gracious customer service.

I am very split for my review. Came here for my husband's birthday. We were seated promptly and service was great. The hiccups were when we first got seated I believe the rush was starting and they were in the middle of switching servers so we were sitting for about 10 minutes before a server came over and helped us out. He was really nice and it was obvious that he was trying his hardest to catch up after having 5 parties sat at once. Overall the food was meh. There is a buffet of sides that you can choose from and a bunch of different meats. I don't know if I would come back- there wasn't anything that stuck out to me as amazing. The experience was great don't get me wrong, all of the meats coming out and slicing at the table- what a show! I just really wasn't a huge fan. The tables are very close together making it difficult for servers to cut through if there are guests walking by. Getting to the bathroom was a struggle with kids. read more

We've been to this and other locations a few times. I don't think they are worth the money at all. The last time we were at this location we had to wait a VERY long time to get the servers to come to our table to serve the meats. The rice and other food items were cold by the time we got served. It was a waste of money. We regret giving them a chance. Don't make the same mistake! read more

David, our waiter was amazing. Waters filled, check. Clean plates, check. Constant attention paid to my kids, check. Service was great. The place was super clean and the market bar was always stocked despite the fact that the place was packed. My daughter, who is 4, never had steak and she was in heaven. Her favorite is the pichana. My wife had shrimp and yucca fries and loved them both. I devoured the meat and the cheesy bread and was in heavav heaven. Also, pleasant surprise that my daughter got free food because she isb4 and my son was half price because he is nine. Turned out to be a great family deal. read more

It was my 7th anniversary so my husband made reservations for us. He has been here once before but this was my first time and my last time. Let me start off by saying I'm not a meat eater like that. The ambience was romantic and our waiter Pamela was great she explained the menu and how it works because I looked overwhelmed and unsure. My husband chose the same thing for me which was all the meats plus salad bar. The salad bar has many options but when I saw a fly on the cheese I was grossed out. I did tell someone that was stocking the salad bar there was a fly she said, "oh no", and took the piece of cheese but the fly was on everything. I didn't go back for anymore. I really wanted chicken and I asked our waiter for chicken and she came back 20 mins to ask if the chicken came around and I told her no. When I did get the two options of chicken they were delicious. Fall off the bone good. They also gave us garlic mashed potatoes as a side and with also caramelized bananas, and crispy plantains. We did order a dessert which was the chocolate lava cake and it was good! Overall, if you're a meat lover and just want meat this is heaven. It just wasn't for me but that's just me. read more

We took our strictly carnivore son to Fogo de Chao to celebrate his Birthday. The restaurant is located in a business park in El Segundo, and offers options of valet parking ($12) or self parking (structure located on the right side of the restaurant, first 90 min free). Inside is quite spacious with seating for 150+ people. Besides the regular tables, there are also bar, private party rooms, and outside seating. Since we have already made our reservation online, the host guided us to our table right away. The ambience was quite festive with balloons, cakes and echoing Happy Birthday singings, as many of the patrons had the same idea of celebrating their loved ones' special days here. We opted for AYCE Brunch which included salad bar with a good selection of fruits, vegetables, cold cuts, and some desserts. The servers with skewers of meats started to come to our table as soon as we flipped the card to green (which meant "yes, we want meat"). Garlic steak, fillet mignon, lamb chop, chicken, ribs, sirloins and more kept coming. But the star of the show was Picanha (rump cover), its tender and buttery meat coated with savory coarse salt was a marriage made in heaven. The attentive servers kept the meats coming and even asked if we wanted to repeat some of them. But after one hour, we were pretty much done. We closed our lunch with their famous Crème Brule Cheesecake. All I can say is wow. The blending of the sweetness from the smoothly rich cake and sugar crust with the tartness from jam sauce created an incredibly contrasting taste. And to wrap everything together, there was the pleasant and crunchy crust on the bottom. Overall, it was a great experience, and Fogo de Chao is definitely an excellent Brazilian BBQ restaurant choice. read more

Came here for lunch on New Year's Eve with my wife. I will break down this review into four parts as there is a lot to discuss. Atmosphere - We were seated at one of the tables in the middle of the room. I felt cramped since the tables were bunched close together and the restaurant was packed with people. I also smelled an unpleasant fishy odor in the air when I sat down. Luckily, I stopped paying attention to it after a few minutes. Service - The service here is inconsistent. On the one hand, the servers who assisted us were very personable and helpful. We were checked up on regularly and drinks were refilled. On the other hand, the gauchos did not come around to our table enough. We were sitting for 15-20 minutes at a time waiting for someone to come around to serve us meat. I had a similar experience at the Beverly Hills location. It's surprising to me that this is the case since this restaurant employs plenty of staff. The biggest disappointment came when my wife asked a server if they had the queijo assado. The server said yes, and would have someone bring it right out. About 15 minutes later, my wife asked about it again to the same server. The server said she'll check on that. A few minutes later, someone did bring some out, but they were given away to other customers. We didn't get this item until after we ordered and were waiting for our dessert about 10 minutes later. Food - We ordered the Indulgent Churrasco which includes everything on the Full Churrasco list and adds a dessert and a premium dish. For the premium dish, I ordered the lobster tail while my wife ordered the jumbo crab cake. Full transparency. My review of the food here is based on the meats and not the salad bar and desserts. Because let's be honest, most people come here for the meats. On the whole, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. While I enjoyed the picanha and sausages very much, I didn't like pretty much everything else I tasted. The sirloin was overcooked, the lobster tail was undercooked, and the jumbo crab cake was dry and lacked flavor (it could have used a sauce to enhance the flavor of the crab meat). Parking - Parking is easy at this location. You have two options. You can pay $12 for valet service up front like we did or you can park in the parking structure behind the restaurant. Final thoughts - I've now been to two Fogo de Chao locations. Personally, I'm not a fan of the food. My wife, on the other hand, really likes Fogo de Chao (primarily for the plantains and cheeses). She's been to three locations. But even she was disappointed with her experience at this restaurant the other day. She said that her recent experience at the Downtown location was better. read more

We enjoyed being seated on the patio with our amazing server Ariel, he was attentive and kind to all our needs. My boyfriend goes through coke 0 like nothing and after he asked for the second glass Ariel got the message that likely anytime he's coming around my boyfriend would want a coke 0 lol. And he did exactly that, he was keeping up with his empty cups which was great. He was so personal and kind as was the host. The some of the gauchos could have been a bit kinder and clearer about that they had but the food was great! The patio was fresh and well shaded and much better compared to the crowded dining room, I was worried about the gauchos not coming often bc we were outside but not at all they were coming regularly. read more

This review is solely on the pathetic service this restaurant has. The servers ARE NOT attentive at all. It's difficult to flag them down and to think we came early and there weren't too many people yet, but it seems they were flustered for some reason. Meats were served at an extremely slow pace. I'm not sure if that is their style so as we don't get more meat. I really can't tell. All restaurants should make service their number one priority, especially if your prices are at the higher price range. Not fair at all. We came to enjoy but spent most of our 2 hour dining waiting on the food. read more

First time here, wife's second. Was looking forward to a meat-fest lunch and was sorely disappointed. We were seated and had no service for about 15 minutes. Wife said it was strange, as on her first visit different meats came around all the time. I used the time to help myself to the salad/app bar which had many delicious dishes to choose from. We asked a server why the meats weren't coming around and the pace finally picked up. However, I found most of the cuts nearly inedible. Beef rib was tough stringy and horribly salty. Sirloin was tough and over salted as well. I got a piece of ribeye that was raw, not rare....raw. And again, too salty to eat. I literally spat it out. Finally, the ambiance. It's a nice looking place but it was so noisy we couldn't have a conversation. Wife was dissatisfied too.. An expensive outing we will not be repeating. read more

I came today for Mother's Day with my family. Our reservation was at 2 pm, but we were made to wait 15 minutes later. It was a busy day, so it was quite understandable. The buffet offerings and meats were flavorful and cooked very well. However, after the first round of meats came within 10 mins. of each other, they stopped. When asked which cuts I was looking for, I requested the rib eye and filet mignon, but they never came. Instead, I was offered top and bottom sirloin on repeat. I didn't want to be full off of those, so I didn't take any. The server carrying the platter of pork belly spilled oil on the floor, and I didn't realize that it also fell on my long skirt until it was too late. I just asked one of the staff to wipe the oil on the floor so no one will slip. The bathrooms were also dirty and not maintained. In the end, we could have stayed longer and waited for the meats I requested, but I felt like we've overstayed our welcome after being ignored, so we just paid the bill. After some time, it eventually felt weird to just keep looking around for your food to come around. I love the franchise and had a great time at other locations, but we will never come to this El Segundo location again. It's just not worth the time and money. read more

This review is for the $10 Picanha burger at the bar. I've been here a bunch of times, and I feel like they do a wonderful job of good quality and good product. That being said, the Brazilian bbq experience is expensive. I've been looking to try this deal out for a while. I mean, a high end place offering a meal at such a low price point. I was really hoping it would be life changing, like I would ask myself. "how can they offer this?" I'd have to say, it was good, not great. I actually prefer the Chili's 3 for me deal, and they shouldn't even be comparable given the disparity in class of the places, but given the price point they are. Chili's includes a drink, so it's actually cheaper. Burger was ok, but not better tasting than the low end Chili's down the street. Oh well. Service was OK, not great. The highlight of the experience was the Pao de Queso at the beginning while I waited for the burger. So, I have a new rating system......I will write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

We had a great time at Fogo in El Segundo, hosting our friend visiting from abroad. The food was amazing. We had the Best of Brazil (ask for the special menu), and it was great! The service was excellent . Our server was Issam from Honduras. He was friendly, helpful, and he also speaks 5 different languages, including Chinese! Tip: we also ordered e-gift card from Costco which is 20% off ($80 for $100) which was very painless to get read more
