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!

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.

The kitchen is clean and visible to anyone interested. What a bar! Drink up! The tables were set perfectly, with white linen. But the menú was one of the best I've seen, locally sourced ingredients were emphasized. Everything we ordered was delicious, I had the orange duck with coco rice, and would order it again. My wife ordered filete mignon served on a puree of califlour with sauteed veggies and loved it. The wine selection was extensive and most were carefully selected from the Guadalupe Valley. Cost for 4 people with d'oeuvres, 2 salads, 2 bottles of wine, 4 entrées, desert, and tip was $200.

Dinner started out promising, their egregiously rude customer service soured the evening…read more This was our first time dining at this establishment. Dinner started off on the right foot. We thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers and the wait service started off okay. Our entreés came out and they weren't as satisfactory. The ribeye was good, but we asked for it to be cooked medium and it was rare. The duck confit was overcooked. It should have been medium rare, it was more than well done and very dry. The grilled octopus was cooked properly but the sauce was bitter. We decided we could live with the steak and duck, but the octopus tasted bad. So we returned the plate letting the wait staff know that the sauce was too bitter for our liking. This is where the night took a turn. After disappearing for a very long time, our waiter returned to tell us that she was frustrated. Frustrated because she couldn't understand why we didn't like the octopus plate, especially since the chef tasted the plate and said it was cooked/plated properly. All three of us tasted the octopus and didn't like it. For the record, we love octopus and have had it many ways across North America. At this point we told the waiter that although the chef thought it was good, it simply was not to our liking. Shortly after this interaction Rosalinda, head of wait staff, came to our table. She said "I know that the octopus was not to your liking, but would you like us to pack it up for you to take home?" We asked why we would want to take home a plate we didn't like. We asked if she had tasted the plate and liked it and Rosalinda said, "Yes. I tasted it. But I don't like seafood." It became clear that they wanted to charge us for the plate of food we sent back and that they wanted to be clear that they thought nothing of our opinion of the food's taste, because the chef thought it was good. After some back and forth, they finally agreed to take the plate off of the bill. Before we sent the plate back, taking into account that all the dishes were off, I said "I'm not going to write a review, because anyone can have an off night. Maybe we'll try again." But after being treated so poorly and feeling insulted, I decided that I needed to warn people about their terrible customer service. Will never return or recommend.

The dessert of the chocolate cake was dry. Other than that, everything was exceptional and pretty much a nice dining experience.

Would have been nicer if there were some kind of sauce to go with it I thought. Butter, demiglase, chimichurri, something. The arugula salad that came with was too salty and too sour but the tomatoes in the salad was delightful. Is that grilled or put in oven for short time? Light warmness of those tomatoes really brought out the sweetness of the tomatoes itself, I enjoyed that very much. The salsa and beans that came at the beginning of the meal was actually really good. Wife ordered a hamburger, and wow. The meat was so so sooo salty. That's gotta be extra salted by mistake. There is no way that was prepared correctly. Tortilla soup was quite plain. I kinda wished there to have more depth in flavor. We ordered the signature tacos for my kid. I didn't try them but my kid liked it. Price was about $100 for 3 of us. And I feel that's a bit much for this quality of experience on this side of the border. 4 stars, I think is the reasonable decision on my part. Oh, but thank you for having English menu for foreigner like me.

Brazilian Steakhouse Fact: One cut of meat is more traditional at Brazilian steakhouses than others…read more- The picanha. This cut of meat is called Picanha, and it comes from the top part of a cow's rump. You may recognize it from your grocery store, as it's also sometimes referred to as the sirloin cap. ― thedailymeal.com What a great Brazillian BBQ spot. With over 20-years of experience, they do things well...done. Keep in mind, Mexico is a place that likes their meat well-done, which makes an American tourist, like me, sad. I'm not dinging them on that as it's part of the culture. They do have salsa and sauces for you to dip the meat. The meat selection is great, the staff is so nice and accommodating (one even speaking some English after hearing some of us speaking English), and there's some really great cuts of meat. My biggest complaint isn't the cook on the meat but the smoky dining room. My throat and eyes were absolutely burning afterward.

I'd give them a zero or negative if I could, but unfortunately that's not possible. Reasons for the one star: After we've finished our dinner, a young man came to take payment. I gave him my card and he continued to charge the card. After the screen went to the "tip" section, the kid took off, and returned demanding payment. I suppose he mistook me for being an American for an easy con. Fortunately the missus father is a banker from Mexicali and he questioned him. He said that he canceled the transaction and they he needed to take it again. He was then demanded to show the cancellation receipt that would have Ben printed out, but the kid said that no receipt was printed. He called his manager and we sorted things out. I'll still have to follow up with my bank to verify that no extra charges were placed on my card. Definitely a shame because the food was quite good.
