The food was good but just be aware when they bring around things and ask you if you would like some thing it's going to be added to your bill it's a Buffay so I assumed that everything was included. I was very wrong when we got the bill, so just ask questions before excepting some thing from a waiter, the meat and the salad bar was very good and we enjoyed it. We got a few extra things as people walked around, thinking that it was part of the Buffay when in fact, they added these things to the bill. Just keep this in mind when going to this place. read more

I have been here so so so many times and it's never a disappointment! It's delicious! Unique!! It's incredible! Let me start off with the prices! It's super cheap but if you go after 7 it's even cheaper 215 per person women! 230 for men! Regular is 315 and 330!! Super super cheap!!! I usually go before 7 but last night I did go around 8:30pm and I had to wait like 20 mins but it was worth it! There are so many good selections! A lot of salad to choose from!! Pastas, ceviche, seafood, etc!! It's full of different yummy dishes!! Soups!!! Omg so so many things!!! The steaks are bomb!! Filet mignon, top sirloin, the pineapple, the cheesy garlic bread, the grilled shrimp, Drinks are not included not even water! Which was a big shocked hahaha but that's how Tijuana is like! They charge you for water! Hard to believe I know. Service is great! Very attentive! Can't complain but the only thing was that when servers drop off your check they tell you how the tip is not included and that you need to tip out 18 to 20% like that kinda made me feel uncomfortable even though we already had planned giving the 20% it's annoying that the server tells you and even worst that stays there and count the money in front of up! To make sure you do tip the 20% not cool man!!! Anyways all the food was delicious!!! read more

Lively atmosphere with music playing pretty loud. If you want a quiet place to talk this is not it. It is massive amounts of meat but offers seafood and wonderful salads read more

I love this place! I can't stop coming back. If you love bbq, then this is the place for you. They have all kinds of bbq beef, some bbq chicken, bbq turkey, grilled shrimp, grilled bread, and even grilled pineapple! So delicious. You get a little spinning sign at the table: red to stop the food and green to keep it coming. My table is always on green! There's also a buffet section filled with appetizers and desserts, which is also filled with delicious items. I wish I could eat forever when I'm here but my stomach can only hold so much... The service here is also great. The servers are always passing by and offering you more food with a smile. They're very enthusiastic about the meat they are carving for you which gives the restaurant a very welcoming atmosphere. read more

Were to start, Came in a few days ago, paid entrance fee for myself and my buddy, All of the sudden dude comes in starts slicing a large piece of steak, he then proceed to serve you, you are thinking that's what the main course, it's similar to their obrigado sim/no system, right? It will cost you an additional $15 dollars, $30 dollars for two. If you see them with an ice cream tray, you are thinking it's all part of their main fee, right? No, it will cost you an additional $5 dollars per each serving. Please understand, pampas do Brazil is a place where you get see high politician and all tend to bring their family to have a good piece of steak...... it's an expensive steak house for any local Tijuana family They'll be bringing their ice cream and some sort of "special steak" he will cut it for you and then charge you an additional $100 pesos without telling up front its additional cost, it's pathetic It's nickel and dime mindset I'd never thought I'd see at Pampas do Brasil The wealthy locals have seen this crappy mentality and based on what I saw yesterday, their tables were empty Please try and stay away from this place There are several other churasquerias in Tijuana without the need to nickel and dime attitude read more

The food here was excellent, the salad bar had many options. The meat keep rolling out. We came on a busy night and we're still seated right away. The staff was pleasant and the prices were fare. I would highly reccomend. read more

A personal favorite. My typical experience with these types of restaurants is the lack of flavor in the meats, limited selection, or super salty. They have a great salad bar selection which includes cheese, meats, fish, fruits, and a few hot selections. My favorite meats are the arrechera, bacon wrapped filet with cheese, beef ribs, octopus, and shrimp. They marinate their meat before cooking and it can taste all the rich flavors. Wide selection of alcoholic drinks, i recommend getting the strawberry caipirinha with either black hornitos or vodka. Super delicious and refreshing. You won't be disappointed. Their crepes are also a delight. They are extra but a small price for amazing flavors. You could skip the crepes and hit the dessert bar which includes pickled pears that taste like Christmas, arroz con leche, jello, pudding and friend bananas. They offer free valet, up to you if you wish to tip. It's a but of a hassle to do self parking so just turn in your car. If you can make a reservation I would highly reccomend. There is a long wait typically. The only negative aspects is you might run into rude hostesses and long wait times. So plan accordingly but it's a great bargain read more

Ate here today. Food was great. BUT HORRIBLE VALET. they lost my car lost my keys. I found my car parked up the street We had to wait two hours for them to find a locksmith and get new keys made. My car is push to start so it's pricey for the new key. Which yes the restaurant covered. BUT, then they find my keys as I drive off. They Call us to get the keys but want to charge us 4,500 pesos to get MY keys that THEY lost back what the fuck??? That's ludicrous. I'll never go there again. How can you charge me to get my keys back when your employees lost them????? read more

I am giving this 5 stars because of one their employees named Jason who went above and beyond to help me. I wound up here after a day of trying to file a report for my car that was stolen 2 days ago in Tijauna. I needed a cab to get back to the US Border. Jason called the cab for me. When the cab did not arrive, he used his phone to get an Uber ride for me. I tried to tip him but he would not take my money. I would definitely go back if I ever went back to Tijuana. read more

Its website says open until 10PM, Yelp says 11PM. 4 of us took a taxi to Mr. Pampas last Saturday night, arriving at 9:20 PM, expecting 40 minutes of dining time. Both locations on Ave Los Heroes were open with workers inside but there were no clients and they would not let us in. Looks like they closed early due to very slow business. read more

I've been coming here for years but today they decided to charge for my son $240 pesos that ate a bite of pizza and that's absurd. Usually they charge $110 pesos but not today. I'll never go back even thou they saw my son didn't measure the height that they made me pay. read more

I didn't know what a "Brazilian" steakhouse was, but it's apparently a place that serves up samples of many types of steak and other meats. I'm not a big steak fan or meat lover, but all the selections I tried were good. Most importantly, they were tender, so I could enjoy the taste without it feeling like work to chew it. Still, for me, the highlight was the salad bar, which had a wide selection of green, pasta, potato ad other salads. Salad bars are rare these days, and GOOD salad bars are even harder to find. This one also offered rice, eggs, cheese and other items. I'd go back for the salad bar alone. There's a dessert bar, too. Not bad but not great. Overall, though, it was a very pleasant dinner. Staff are courteous and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual but clean. It's not a fine-dining restaurant with tablecloths and candles, but the prices are very reasonable, especially for what you get! read more

Had a safe wonderful lunch here. Servers wear masks and face shields and for buffet items the servers prepare them for you. As good a Brazilian meal as I've had anywhere. Definitely going back. read more

I always come to Mr. Pampas when ever I'm in TJ since it's a must. The buffet has wide selections from different salads and side dishes like sushi, ceviche, soups, breads, pastas but very minimal dessert options. The meat is good and they do have a variety of different cuts but I would recommend going for dinner because for lunch they don't really bring out all of the meat selections. The servers and hosts are very attentive but if you're waiting around to have a specific cut of meat then you're going to have to tell them to come to your table. All in all, this place is worth a visit whether you're in Tijuana or if you're willing crossing the border. read more

First time here and the food was great. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. He recommended us many things which made our visit great. Though the wait tends to be a bit long but understandable. read more

Terrible services and food ! It's not the same place than years before, they send you chorizo, cheese, etc and the steak not showed u til you are full, and the salad bar it's not the same anymore! Terrible comida y servicio! Ya no es el mismo lugar gar de hace unos años, ahora te envían chorizos, quesos, pan antes y las carnes hasta que ya estás lleno, y la barra de ensaladas ya no es igual, que desilusión! NO LO RECOMIENDO !! NO VAYAN ! read more

I was blown away by this place! Absolutely the best Picanha melts in your mouth! The food, amazing, tons of choices already available at the salad bar! They even have roasted bone marrow bones! Better than the other Brazilian Restaurants in TJ! I came on Saturday the 14th at noon when they opened! The price was $35.00, a bit more than the other place a half mile away, that place is $20.00, no where near the quality, this place was so much better! The service was awesome as well! It's truly worth driving down to TJ just to go to this restaurant! read more

The salad bar was horrible It was all Pasta , dis organized The charge $68 for one person Waste of money Never go back there read more

i was there last saturday,for the first time i highly recommend the food and service, i will go back again

Fast friendly service. Wonderful salad bar with a wide variety of hot foods and soups as well.. meats such as octopus and even tongue. Waited only 15 minuets for a party of two .. gets busy so make a reservation if you are a party of 6 or more. They charge for all drinks and additional for special desserts. read more

Awesome place for Brazilian style food. There's a gadget on the table flip it to green and the servers will bring all sorts of different grilled meats from tripas, buches, filet mignon, ribeye, chicken breast, lamb shanks you name it, they also have a buffet style salad bar everything is super fresh, you'll also find octopus salad, shrimp salad, sushi rolls and all sorts of deliciousness. Oh! If you flip the gadget to red they'll stop bringing meats to you, that means you're effing full as hell! Make sure you order a Chipirinha it's a cocktail, you'll love it. They had live music the couple of times I've been here just don't remember what day of the week it was. GO HUNGRY! read more

The meats were so delicious and the buffet was excellent, so many things to choose from. The bar dessert was awesome. They also have a cart that goes around with desserts and another cart to make you any alcoholic drink you request. The service was excellent. The only thing that I didn't like was that the meat servers didn't go to us as much as to other tables. read more

If you're a vegan/vegetarian, stay away! Mr. Pampas is carnivore heaven! The quality at this place is up to par with the other two establishments you can find in SD (Rei Do Gado & Fogo de Chao). Come after 7pm and you're paying just $210 Peso (roughly $13.75 USD) for men or $195 Pesos ($12.79 USD) for women. This is a fraction of the price in comparison to the typical Brazilian BBQ joint in SD during dinner hours. We walked in during peak hours (7:30pm) on a Tuesday evening and though it seemed super busy the moment we walked inside, we were seated within a few minutes and greeted by everyone. The service is top notch and they are very attentive. All the staff speak decent English though it is the best bringing a Spanish speaking friend with you to make things easier! You can even make a request for a certain meat or cut and they'll be happy to grab it for you (request for their rare & juicy sirloin cuts). Remember to grab your plates upon sitting down (at the self serve buffet section) and put the little gadget that lets them know whether you "want the meats coming (green)" or "stop, I'm stuffed (red)." Trust me, once you're about 30 minutes into dinner, there is a good chance you'll be stuffed and already in a food coma. If you keep it on green, the meats will keep coming and coming. Make sure you're nibbling throughout the day to keep your metabolism kicking before coming here and feasting out! Mexico is known to have better quality meat in comparison to the states. Want the best meats? Their sirloin, bacon wrapped filet mignon with cheese and lamb shanks are THE BOMB! Make sure to grab those early on as they will become a bit drier if you get the last part of the batch at the end of the night. I suggest catching an Uber when you step across the border. We paid just $30 Pesos each way, so the total was $60 Peso, which is a whopping $3.93 USD. Much cheaper than a cab (and less of the hassle of having to haggle) and much more comfy too! Enjoy! read more

Yumm! Super good! It's the first time I've been here. The side bar is huge and plenty of options! I loaded up on salads and all the delicious sides they offered. My husband LOVED all the meat cuts that he ate and we were stuffed after a pitcher of sangria and our food. It's a good relaxed atmosphere and the staff is extremely friendly! I'll be coming back here when I'm in Tijuana. read more

So my wife and I were going to TJ to eat and do a little bit of shopping. We asked the taxi driver to recommend a good place to eat that wasn't typical. He said that he would take us to his favorite place to eat. He asked an amazing question before proceeding: 'Do you like meat?" I smiled. He drove on. We arrived at Mr Pampas and just the name alone told me it was a going to be fun. He pulled up and said "You pay once and it's all you can eat. Very good! It's my favorite place to eat. " which earned him a really good tip. This place was so tasty and had great drinks too. I price was a little over $15 pp. Drinks were inexpensive but good. Many flavors were not typical Brazilian, but a more Mexican version of same. Service was very good and several meat cutters learned what I liked most and started to make sure I got a cut of certain offerings. The salad bar was extensive with fresh fruit and vegetables. The watermelon and pineapple slices were so good. They had live music in one section, music playing all over and it was a Sunday, so NFL games were playing on multiple screens throughout the restaurant. Full in no time flat, this was a great adventure. read more

There's nothing Brazilian about this place. The food was nothing but Mexican food. The meats were the only good thing and the mineral strawberry water. I won't go there again read more

Nice stake house, all you can eat style. Men and women have different pricing for the buffet which I felt was odd.... we paid around 350 pesos which is under 20.00 dollars. All drinks and desserts that come to the table are at an extra charge. Food is ok, what you come here is for meat, there is so much meat to eat! Some cuts are better than others but that depends on your food preference, they had everything from pig to lamb or goat. read more

I went here last night with my fiancé to have a dinner and within an hour After leaving the restaurant i started to feel super nauseous as I made my back home across the border. Once I got home I started non stop vomiting, chills, weakness, stomach aches. I don't recommend anyone to eat here. Everything was great eating there no problems until I got food poisoning. DONT NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO EAT HERE. SAVE YOUR MONEY UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET FOOD POISONING read more

the attention of this place is incredible, With all this pandemic trouble, they have managed to make me feel safe! they have an incredible protocol to keep everything disinfected and you can enjoy a delicious meal. I really like this place a lot. food is delicious!! read more

This place is awesome and lives up to the hype. There are all types of fresh and tasty side dishes to go with the Meat Assault experience. Get there before 5pm or you will wait in line. The place is very clean inside and out. Also, it is in a great part of the city not far from museums and malls. I would recommend this place while visiting TJ read more

Been to a few Brazilian steak houses. This was my least favorite. All the meat was marinated nicely but the majority of it seemed super grissely. The service was good, always someone coming buy with more meat and tequilla. Salad bar was okay. Highlight of the meals was the crepes and ice cream prepared tableside. We were with a large group and treated well. If it weren't for the tougher meat it would have been rated higher, but the meat is what you come for. read more

Bomb! What can I say? It's my favorite in TJ. I try to have dinner here if I can. My fav is the carpaccio But you can't go wrong with Shrimp Arrachera meat meat meat If your a carnivore it a no brainer. And a lil salad doesn't hurt They have authentic Caesar salad If you haven't been to caesars on Rev This is a good second But salad is not their priority MEAT! And more delicious MEAT! Order some Don Julio 70 to wash it dwn. Or any cocktail u can think of They can handle it. But whatever your appetite You won't be disappointed For sure a must one twice thrice read more

Food was delicious. I recommend going here all the time they had more multiple options. The meat was great desserts also, we're good in the service as well. read more

I love Mr Pampas! It's so incredibly affordable given that it's an all you can eat Brazilian Steak House. The most memorable thing about this restaurant was the cheese breads, they are soooo good. The meat was all great and the servers were all super friendly. They would ask if we wanted certain meats so they can bring them around (this is always a plus at Brazilian steak houses). They have some type of promotion where you pay 2 for 1 after a certain time, which makes this place soo worth the price. read more
