I was referred to this restaurant by a client and man what a great referral. Edwin our waiter was great, food was great, price was great. The 2 day getaway to TJ from L.A. was worth it BIG LEAGUE! By far, hands down the best Brazilian Steakhouse I've ever been to. If you haven't been, GO! read more

Love it! I'm gonna keep it simple. I underestimated this place and ended up loving it! Love the food and ambiance! A must when in Tijuana!

I highly recommend this place! If you're looking for a Brazilian restaurant- you must visit!! The quality of meats are much better by far than Rei da Gado and Fogo de Chao which are located in San Diego, Ca. And very inexpensive... After 7pm it's only $190 pesos ($13 dollars) for ladies and $210 for gentleman. Great for birthdays! Awesome set up, nice ambiance and atmosphere. The service is also excellent! Let's not forget the crepes that are made table side, that's another show in itself... Delicious! read more

This was my first visit to Mr. Pampas in Tijuana. I enjoyed the flavor and tenderness of the beef. My favorite was the filet mignon this time, when usually I prefer picaña. When trying them side by side the taste and texture of the filet was superior. I felt like the salad bar left a lot to be desired. My other experiences with Brazilian Steakhouses have been Fogo de Chau and Rei do Gado in San Diego. Their salad bars were far better quality food. Definitely this restaurant has a Mexican twist, as it should to cater to the customers, so you will find salsa at your table and various Mexican dishes on the salad and dessert bar. The decor was not as sophisticated as you would find at other Brazilian Steakhouses in the US. As a bonus they offer menu items that I have not seen before such as pulpo (octopus) and shrimp. The pulpo was to squishy for my taste. However, the shrimp was phenomenal. For the price of the meal compared to prices in the US, I am happy about my experience at Mr. Pampas. Worth a try. read more

This was my first time here to celebrate my brother's birthday. Although there were 6 parties ahead of us we were seated pretty quickly. They informed us of how to request meats to the table and extras like alcohol and desserts, we were seated right by the salad bar so there wasn't explaining needed there. The 'salad bar' was a large stand that holds salads (fruit and vegetable), soups, ceviche tostadas, clean plates, condiments, and other finger foods that were switched out once they were gone. The selection of meat was incredible, there were well over 50 combined ways that beef, pork, chicken, turkey, shrimp and octopus were prepared! It is a bit pricey(roughly $25-28) per adult, they measure children by height to determine if they pay or get in for free, which does include unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, so you better bring your appetite or your wallet! The other thing to note is we were packed in like sardines...if there were strict fire safety zoning laws like there are in the US there is no way that place would be up to code. read more

Mr. Pampas - Brazilian Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

Some of the best Brazilian food I've had! The prices are super low for great quality meats. My boyfriend and I come here often and always leave satisfied read more

Exceptional food and great service. The atmosphere is a little bit mixed. Great environment for the family and even a chance for single people to meet up. read more

Awesome place! Have been here several times now and most of the time, the meat was excellent. Sometimes, it is a little over salted and chewy but overall still very good. I enjoyed a lot of the salad bar offerings which is always fully stocked. Sometimes, the cutters would pass right by you so that sucks a little and some meats do not come out until you ask for it. Too bad this place is in TJ, I would come here often if it was closer. read more

If you are in the TJ area, a must try. The food is amazing and we all walked out extremely stuffed. All of the meat selections were great and hot. They service was friendly and quick. Wonderful hot selection and salad bar. Strong drinks from the bar. Enjoyed the entire meal. read more

Meat tastes better in MX for the most part than in the US. Great service and great food. Brazilian style parillada to get your grub on. Great location in TJ in a professional area. read more

Yesterday was my 8th time here. Their food is excellent. Real high quality meats and a prefect buffet in the middle. The picanha is the best and the filet mignon is really good as well. If there is something in particular you want you can ask them and they will bring it by cooked to your liking as well. I always use their valet parking and have never had a problem. I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars because on more than one occasion i have had to wait too long to get my check and/or to get change when we were ready to leave. read more

This place is expensive for the food they serve. I've been here at least 3 times partly due the fact that there aren't many good sit-down-and-eat meat joints around TJ. Parking is hit or miss because often times the lot for Mr. Pampas is full and you'll have to pay the parking lot flunky next door five pesos to get a spot. I've eaten the sirloins and fillets and to be honest, I'm not that impressed. My guests like the cinnamon baked pineapple and the fried bananas. I personally prefer the green chile drenched in cream and pasta, but who the hell goes to a meat joint to eat pasta? So, if I was forced to recommend a meat dish, it would be the lemon garlic beef. It's over seasoned like most of their dishes but this is the only dish I remember having seconds. Be careful when using credit cards in Mexico because I got a "probing" $1 transaction from some spot in Mexico after paying with company entertainment credit card (I only used that card one time the entire month and it was here, that doesn't mean this joint is crooked, it just means you got to be careful). If you see this sort of $1 transaction tell your card company to cancel it quick because if you don't and the $1 transaction goes through, you're basically telling the identity thieves that you're not looking at your credit card bill and they are going to buy panchos and pinatas with your gringo dollars. read more

I'm definitely coming back!!!! I'm so glad I tried this place the wait staff is on point!!!

I like the concept. So when you get in to the restaurant they sit you down and on your table you have a wheel that when you turn it has two options green(more meat) and red(no more meat). So once you get your table you can get up and choose a variety of little sides(breads, cheeses, salads, etc.). While you are getting your sides our waiter gave us a second plate which is used for the meats that are on a skewer that the waiters are walking by to see if you would like to have a cut of it. The first 5 minutes about 5 waiters came by and we said yes to all of it. We put the meat on pause so we moved the wheel to red to stop the flow of meats on the plate. Overall I loved it. This was the first time we have been to this restaurant and also the first time I have been to a restaurant with this concept. The price was awesome, their is no way we would pay that much where we are from. It would probably be double. I'm glad we all went their today. read more

The service was great. Other than the wait to be seated, there is not much too complain. The food was delicious but the salad bar leaves you waiting more. Although the salad is not why you come here. It's obvious the meats! Overall it was good experience and I will be back with my family. read more

We (family of 3) visited Tijuana and tried this place twice. My wife likes veggies, salad and I like meat. If you come after 7pm, it is cheaper. They didn't charge my kid (2.5 yrs old). There is also a room for kids to play around. You can pay by (US) credit cards or cash (US dollars) read more

Food was ok, most of the meat was really salty even for Brazilian bbq. Service was good. Even during busy time got in pretty fast, prob will be back just not for a while. read more

Please make sure you check that the meat is well done before eating. We were there this past weekend and unfortunately I ended up at the hospital with food poisoning. read more

i love this place. The salad bar is a buffet and absolutely delicious on it own.

Me encanta! It's one of my favorite places so far here in TJ, they have many options, the food is good, really good actually.

The food quality and selection...excellent!!! What I didn't like was the front girls at the section as far as sitting us down m. The girls didn't really know what they were doing. They weren't very friendly and not apologetic for their mistakes. Other than that...no complaints on food and the great variety of selections! read more

This is my second times there to be honest it's AMAZING the food it's very delicious and the service it's fast believe me it's worth it.

The original wait time we were given was an hour. We ended up waiting 3 hours then left. The food looked great and smelled good but it was too bad we didn't even get to try it. Definitely don't go on date night or with a semi large group if you aren't ready to wait a very long time. read more

The meats are divine. Don't load up on the buffet before you eat the meats!!

Used to be best in Tijuana and best Brazilian cuts compared to the competition in San Diego. Their food still good but is now average. Their downfall is they are now serving more chicken breast sausage servings, turkey even not fresh octopus. I asked several times to bring more beef perhaps even some filet mignon like they use to do. It was poor quality beef we had a table with 18 people we received many times their excellent bread. We were turning down all the times they brought chicken breast it was exhausting I was one of the first regular client but in the bast 3 years the quality is declining they use to have a decent Sangria I order one I tested and did not like 3 other people tried we all agree not even close. It is too bad my favorite Brazilian steak cuts no longer exist. I personally will not go back in a positive note their chicken is excellent if you don't care for red meat their food is still acceptable their salad good variety but not for their known steak cuts. My dentist in Tijuana warn me and I did not believe him now I agree. Hope this review helps for the red meat lovers. read more

The food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was even better! Price was fairly reasonable. I highly recommend this place!!

This place is pretty awesome. I've ate here probably 5 or 6 times. They have the little sign on the table you can flip up or down if you want the meat guy to come to your table. There are probably 12 different meat guys with different meats so there's something for everyone. I'm not much of a meat eater, so I typically stick to the salad bar / buffet area. All around, a good place. Pretty cheap too considering all of the meat they give away for an all-you-can-eat fee. read more

Noe was the best gaucho/passador I have ever encountered - took care of us the whole time!

I went there today and they tried charging me for thing I had not ordered, on top of that my waiter was never there and I had to ask other waiters for assistance. LOOK AT YOUR CHECKS people. read more

Great food for a great price!!!! Can't wait to go back. Parking is a little crazy so I recommend just do valet and avoid the headache.

Very nice place, i like the brazilian food a lot, very friendly stuff, price is okay
