Pampas Grill

Pampas Grill is definitely a gem if you’re craving some seriously delicious Brazilian-style meats! From the moment you walk in, the staff is super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. The buffet-style setup gives you a ton of tasty options to choose from—just keep in mind that it’s priced by weight, so depending on how hungry you are (or how heavy your plate is!), it can get a little pricey. That said, the food is absolutely worth it. The meats are seasoned to perfection and cooked just right—juicy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The cold bar items also pack a punch with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that really complement the hot dishes. The overall vibe is more fast-paced; the line moves quickly and it’s more of a "grab, eat, and go" kind of place—but everything is well-organized and efficient. If you’re in the mood for a flavorful, satisfying meal and don’t mind a quicker dining experience, Pampas Grill is a must-try!

Fun, unique experience. I very much respect the fact that the entire buffet is the same price per pound (unlike those places that have a higher price for meats) so if you really wanted to stretch your dollar you could just load up on all the meat. Food was fine, like what I imagine you’d get at a top-tier tech firm cafeteria for lunch. And our draft beers were $5, so no complaints there!

Pampas Grill serves up flavorful Brazilian BBQ with a great buffet selection. My selection was the tri-tip, it was very tender and well-seasoned, and the spicy chicken had a nice kick. Their bar is also impressive—with daily Happy Hour from 3–7 PM. I especially enjoyed their lemon and strawberry Brazilian Caipirinha. Great food, good vibes—I’ll be back!

Large self serve Brazilian restaurant with delicious meat options. Highly recommend the top sirloin, the sirloin cap and the cheese bread. The plantains are a great sweet hot dish option, in addition to the collard greens. Food is charged by pound, so try to maximize on the meat to get your money's worth. Ps. They also sell bags of frozen cheese bread for cheese bread from the comfort of your own home

This place is a Brazilian Buffet style place, and man, they don't disappoint. Don't fill your plate with all the fruits and salads in the beginning. Just wait till you get to the middle and the end, and they got a variety of meats 🍖 rotating on stakes over open flames.Man I tell you, I found my new favorite place, and I'm glad I tried it. But they weigh your plate, so only grab what you're going to eat.

Fantastic meat. Try the sirloin cap and top sirloin rare. Grilled pineapple with cinnamon also good. Price is by the pound so don’t load up too much on cheap stuff like beans unless you want to pay Fogo prices for your meal. Speaking of, I’ve been to Fogo once and I can honestly say I like the meat here better. Can’t comment on salad or hot bar besides the mashed potatoes which are usually solid.

The best casual Brazilian churrasco spot in LA! The assortment of meats is sensational. The sirloin cap has a rich beef flavor, and the fat on the edges gets perfectly crisp. The garlic beef is juicy and full flavored, and the spicy chicken really holds its own with the beef dishes with a great spice level and flavor. There’s no shortage of sides; my favorites are the garlic rice and garlic noodles. The plate pictured cost $15, which I find to be a pretty great deal for the quantity and quality of the food. There’s a line at dinner time; it moves, but a little slowly. Plenty of seating and parking though, and there was live music the evening I went.

Honestly i don't want to leave this review and make this place even busier than it already is. But at least the long line DOES move quickly! We are totally addicted to this restaurant and to their caipirinhas. It's incredible. I'm a cook and quite picky but everything is prepared to perfection.

This is the best Brazilian food in my opinion. BBQ without all the unnecessary extra$$$. Pick your side dishes, then pick your Brazilian meats and be gone! Fast, simple and to your exact order. What else do you want? The restaurant food area is always clean and refilled. This is my go to whenever I'm in the westside.

Love pampas concept for an easy grab and go meal! Service is very friendly and the inside is pretty clean with open seating for wherever you'd like. Upon walking in, make sure you put on some gloves and choose either the Togo box or dine-in plate. The price is based on the weight of your entire plate so it can get pricey fast (don't worry the plate's weight is not included). Start with the salad, fruit, and sides bar then you can let the server know at the meat cutting station which cuts you would like and how you'd like it. I like their variety of sides from avocados to fried bananas, fried Yuka, tomatoes, rice, beans, cheese bread, collard greens and more. I love their fried bananas, cheddar broccoli, and their fried fish. Although the last time I went, the fish was soggy and not flavored at all. For the MEAT, I'm always a medium rare type of gal. I've tried: - PICANHA: the most tender imo! - GARLIC BEEF: very flavorful with chunky garlic salt, you have to get the whole cube - TRI TIP: a bit on the tougher side but still good! - TOP SIRLOIN: tender as well, more on the rarer side Will def be back :3 pampas cuts of meat always hits the spot for me and I love the convenience of being able to get some quality meats to go or dining in without having to wait too long in line.

Way too expensive for cafeteria quality food 2/5. My friend paid $50 for his plate; my bf and I were $65 each. You won't be saving money coming here; might as well go to quality restaurant at that price! Food line up is self serve, warm at best and dry. The meat is salty and barley pink even when I requested for medium rare; tough cuts even picanha. Very disappointed in the quality for the ridiculous price!

This restaurant has great offerings and plenty of great seating. When you walk in, there are plastic gloves available to everyone to maintain a clean atmosphere as this is a self serve buffet style restaurant. All of the food options are fresh and delicious. The Brazilian cheese bread is soft and tasty. The meat slicing station is at the end of the buffet offerings, and you get to pick from many tasty options and cuts of meat. My favorite is the picanha. I ask for it medium well and it is soft and flavorful. At the end of the line, the cashier weighs your plate, and customers are charged per pound. It is a bit on the pricier side as the plate in the image below cost about $19, but it was delicious and fresh.

Always a 10/10 experience at Pampas Grill in Culver City, combining flavorful food, attentive service, and fair pricing. Staff members are quick to assist and make the whole process easy, whether you're a first-timer or a regular. You can't go wrong with any of the meats, and the Picanha is a must-try. It's sliced fresh right in front of you and always cooked to perfection. Another standout is the stroganoff, rich and creamy with the perfect balance of savory flavors. It's a comforting dish that pairs well with rice or mashed potatoes. And don't skip the cheese bread (pão de queijo)--warm, chewy, and addictive, it's the perfect side to any meal. With a wide variety of options at the hot bar and salad station, there's something for everyone, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Pampas Grill offers a satisfying experience that will keep you coming back for more.

The amazing live band and the many sports TVs is such a great atmosphere to enjoy. Best in Culver. The prices have risen but still one of my favorite comfort spots in LA for good food and good time. The food quality is still great. Suggestion is to have one plate with just the salad bar and then a second with slight salad and all the meats. That way can save on the first plate per lb. Service is kind and quick.

I come to pampas for the quality of the meat. I was pretty disappointed I took my food to go because I was on lunch break. Normally I dine in. The meat was tuff and chewy i couldn't bite through it after chewing and chewing. Mind you it's not cheap. But i pay for quality.

Came here for Friday lunch with friends. Solid option for people who want Brazilian bbq but don't to shell out for an expensive ayce place. I was perfectly full at the end and got all the options I wanted without having to wait around for it. Food itself was tasty but could be better seasoned. The sides at the buffet have a good variety but mainly help balance my meal. I came for the meat and was really glad we get to choose exactly what cut and cook we want. I got the lamb, the top sirloin, and the picanha (sirloin cap). The medium rare to medium pieces were mostly tender, but wow way too much salt on some of the cuts. I was very glad to have salad and more basic sides to even that out. Otherwise a tasty and fulfilling lunch that I would have again.

This place was good! I really enjoyed the variety of selection and I feel like it was well worth the cost. I like the walk-in style and it seems like there's never too much of a wait and always seating. They have some delicious meats and a fun grilled, cinnamon sugar pineapple which is extra tasty. There were a couple of dishes, particularly on the cold bar, that were clearly sitting for a little but I would definitely come back again.

Ambiance: this pampas grill location is located in a busy plaza, shared with gym and other restaurants, it has spacious dining room inside and patio outside Service: self served utensils and water, you choose items from the bar and grill station, then weight and pay at cashier Food: plenty options for open bar, and limited choices of meat, most are overly salty Spicy Chicken - *** very spicy Sausage - ** flavorless Chicken w/Bacon - * so dry and not eatable Sirloin Cap Beef - **** fatty and juicy, recommend Garlic Beef - *** average Lamb Leg - ** so dry and too gamey Tri-Tip Beef - *** average Hot Dishes & Salad Bar - ** terrible quality, salad tasted weird, hot food was so dry, soggy pasta, undercooked rice, the only thing I liked was the cheese bread bite Price: the combination plate of salad and meat is charged by pound, and it cost about $25 per person

Ive been going to their sister in Farmers Market for years but here there is space to sit and eat and a bar as well Same excellent food and service but the space is much better hence the 5 star which for me is rare to award

I've been coming to Pampas more regularly for their live music and for the food. Food menu options haven't changed much but they do now have the cinnamon sugar pineapple which is great. Staff is not the best at determining meat temperature (I ask for medium and sometimes I get well done, sometimes I get medium rare or well) depends on the night. Live music is a bit loud of but it's nice to have some entertainment.

The wife and I wanted some lunch so we decided to try Pampas Grill in Culver City. They offer inside and outside dining, the service is decent, and various types of salads, but the main star of the show is their grilled meats. It can quickly get expensive as you pay per pound. I personally don't like their steaks (bland, lacking flavor) but I did enjoy their chicken and house made sausages.

Pampas Grill never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the smell of the grilled meats hits you in the best way. You grab a tray, walk through the buffet-style setup, and customize your plate with whatever looks good--and trust me, everything looks good. The picanha is always the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and sliced right in front of you. The garlic chicken and Brazilian sausage are also solid picks if you want to mix it up. Sides are super fresh--the collard greens and yucca flour are legit, and the fried plantains add just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the savory meats. Pro tip: come hungry. Portions are generous, and since it's by weight, you get exactly what you want. The staff here is friendly, quick, and efficient even when it's busy. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Whether you're new to Brazilian food or already obsessed with it, Pampas Grill is definitely worth a stop. One of those places you think about a few days later and want to come back to.

Perfect casual dining experience that won't break the bank! It's rare to find an over-the-counter steak cafe. (Yeah, pun intended). I love dining at the Original Farmer's Market because of the great selection of food, free 90-minute validated parking, and frequently cleaned outdoor dining area. This was my second time eating at Pampas Grill. With 4 slices of meat and plenty of sides, I was able to pay around $20. Meat lovers will definitely spend closer to $50. The line looks long, but it's not terrible. Expect a 15-20 minute wait most days. The staff cleans and refreshes the counter frequently. The selection of food is great, especially given the small size of the counter, such as salads, fruit, squash, collard greens, chicken stroganoff, yucca fries, and more! I'm knocking down one star purely because they don't offer chimichurri (gasp!) and because they default by serving medium cuts. If you want a medium rare cut, which I highly recommend if you're eating on a cold night, you must request it. The medium cut will be nice and rubbery by the time you take your second bite. Also, most chefs will tell you medium rare is the best cut for texture and flavor.

This place was so delicious. To be able to taste almost everything on the buffet for a decent price was awesome. It's a must try

Brazil is known for many attributes such as its beautiful women, carnivalé celebration and meat on a stick topping the list. Or perhaps it is better and more accurate to say 'meat on a spit'. It may sound like South Park-esque teenage crass humor; but most times, Brazilian food is genuinely associated with roasted meat and lots of it. The most famous chain nation-wide to serve up Brazilian-style meat on a spit is Fogo de Chao; but Pampas Grill with locations at the famous Farmers Market and Culver City, has entered the chat. The Culver City location of Pampas Grill sits in a shopping center on Overland Ave in between Venice and Washington boulevards: if you see an LA Fitness and Yogurtland, then you are in the right place. If you're expecting an ooh la la service dining experience then Pampas Grill isn't it as this is a cafeteria/buffet style eatery where patrons queue up in a line, grab at foods ranging from salads, pastas, Brazilian cheese rolls, veggies, rice and beans to the roastery area with chicken, beef, pork and lamb before having the food weighed and priced per said weight. It's honestly a sort of uncomfortable situation, feels rushed and cattle call -ish and the restaurant is quite loud with its indoor and covered patio area seating. Pampas Grill largely has a sort of sports bar vibe. My party of four arrived to a hopping and packed Pampas Grill on a Saturday evening and settled into the buffet line. Although the sides are decent in numerical selection; none of it looks that appetizing: the broccoli in cream sauce was NOT a cream sauce but thin liquid, fried items were over-fried, nothing was fresh or vibrant in appearance and quite honestly: none of the choices were unique. They don't feel ethnic at all but like a school cafeteria meal. The roasted meats fare better in terms of appearance as they all looked succulent and roasted perfectly but the key term is: 'looked'... Sadly, being Celiac, I didn't have many GF options at Pampas Grill for my sides and was only able to grab some tomatoes in balsamic, plantains, fresh pineapple and squash. For my meats, I chose Spicy Chicken, Lamb and Tri-tip beef. There isn't much for me to say about this meal because it was just, bluntly, bad. My Spicy Chicken was some of the driest chicken I've ever had and this was confirmed by other members of my party who also had chicken (although regular chicken) and attested that theirs too was dry like the Sahara desert. I found the lamb to be too gamey (my party liked it, though) and only the tri-tip was redeeming although too fatty. I tried a bite of sausage which had terrific flavor but was also too dry. Basically, Pampas Grill fails to bring good meats to the table (pun intended) when that is the main point of the eatery. Pampas Grill is basically the Sizzler of the Brazilian restaurant world. Service wasn't up to par either at Pampas Grill. I mentioned to my associate serving me at the roastery that this was my first time there and yet he didn't welcome me nor explain their meats/make suggestions. One of my dining partners said that another associate at the meats was making annoyed faces while serving him. They just seemed to be in the "Move along!" - mode which is not the quality of service I would hope for. Pampas Grill simply doesn't do justice to Brazilian food (or Brazil) in Los Angeles and is only really suitable if you're in a hurry in the Culver City area and want to eat something somewhat off the beaten track but otherwise there is no need to go out of your way. Pampas Grill leaves a lot to be desired and has improvements to make. Go get your meat elsewhere...

Heaven on earth! Gotta get it off my chest, the food was delicious, the cuts of meats were amazing and seasoned well! You pay by the pound, so you load up your plate and at the end you place it on a scale. Stopped by for lunch, buffet style, at the start of the line they provide some gloves for you to put on to keep the serving area clean. Good amount of options to choose from, I kept it simple w beats and Cesar salad. The cheese bread and garlic bread is also tasty! For the meats, no disappointment, the garlic chicken was tasty, the garlic flavor was well in the chicken and not just on the skin. The steak was tasty as well and seasoned well with sea salt. All in all I would definitely return to eat here, the food is delicious and the vibe is relaxed. They have lots of tvs showing sports, and on some nights they have live bands. Parking lot can get tight sometime with the LA fitness next door but I've deemed it worth it. Enjoy!

The Brazalian buffet of culver city! Fresh and well cooked variety bbq. ...Great salad bar!

I hadn't had a Brazilian feast in awhile and it was an easy choice between this place and the Vegan place across from it. I am too carnivorous for Vegan. I was impressed with this large, efficiently run restaurant. I like buffets and had my hot, fresh smorgasbord in minutes. I was excited to see the many delicious items and heaped palm hearts salad, olives, corn, fried catfish, beets(excellent), watermelon, luscious fresh avocado slices and beef stew on my plate. Of course, I couldn't pass up the star of the Brazilian buffet show: the delicious array of meats! I ordered slices of lamb, sirloin and plump sausage dumped on my crowded plate. And how could I pass up an exotic Bohemia malt beer to wash down the food party off my plate. The nice buffet man rang up my plate weighing who knows how many pounds because I was too busy focusing on cleaning every morsel off that plate for special delivery to my taste buds and stomach. $56 which was pricey but worth it to satisfy the Carnivore within. Highly recommended.

Delicious Brazilian BBQ, cafeteria style. Lots of vegetable and side options - I love the garlic rice and the potato salad. You choose your types and cuts of meat at the end, and it is cut for you, then your whole plate is weighed. Literally everything I've eaten here is good. Plenty of seating and located in same shopping center as Sidecar Donuts and Yogurtland for dessert afterwards!

Second visit! This time i come at 12 on a weekday. When it's not so busy, the picanha tastes way better. The salt is more even. The lamb is consistent, but now that the picanha is well-seasoned it's overshadowed by the picanha. Tri tip was enjoyable, but still can't beat the picanha. I wish the picanha has more charred fats around the edges though. Bacon-wrapped chicken was so dry i had to dip it to the stroganoff. This time i got the fried catfish, but was not as amazing as i thought. It's just alright. Overall Pampas is alright. It's not the best picanha in town, but at the price level it's not bad at all. Rather than getting steaks at a diner or some chain restaurants, you'd be more satisfied with what Pampas offering.

Great cost to quality ratio. Everything is cooked slowly over an open flame and that's really what you are paying for here. Sides are always fresh, I've seen them replenish or remove older sides from the buffet line constantly. Nice big space with plenty of communal and individual tables both inside and out. Parking is always easy. The only area of improvement would be to enforce the plastic glove rule for the self serve buffet, from time to time I see customers elect not to wear the self service gloves.

Daughter and I decided to go to Pampas Grill for lunch today, 5/1/24. Good thing I didn't get everything bc man, this place is expensive! If you haven't tried, this is a Brazilian restaurant, cafeteria style. You grab a tray and plate and go through the line of different salads and sides such as rice, beans, stews etc. On my plate, I got rice, beans, greens, plantains, 2 cheese breads, picanha, garlic picanha and 3 slivers of grilled pineapple. My plate was almost $35!!! Wow! This would have been a nice meal at Fogo, a nice sit down meal with service. The gentlemen serving the meats were nice and friendly but the girl at the cashier was not. She clearly looked like she didn't want to work and had no customer service training. We haven't been here in a while but dang, when she said our bill was $61.69, I literally said "oh shish" bc I didn't think my plate was worth that much. Anyhow, the picanha was good, we got medium rare and it was delicious with fatty ends. The garlic picanha was not as tender. The rice, beans, greens, plantains were also good. The best was the cheese bread! Oh my, they were cheesy, soft and addicting! That alone was worth the $ we paid. They are located in the Culver City plaza where LA Fitness is at. Parking available. Be aware and be cautious of what you put on your plate bc at the end, your plate is weighed at $15.85/lb. This will be a special type of place to go to and not a usual place for lunch.

Pampas grill was very satisfying. It reminds me of Fogo de Chão's little brother. It has a mini salad bar stocked with a variety of vegetables and sides and you can get as many cuts of meat that you want. The quality of the meat was above average but not the best, but again very enjoyable. You pay by the weight of your plate which if you're not careful can add up quickly. The service was stellar, the workers are constantly moving and made sure we were clear on instructions and were very knowledgeable about the meats. The restaurant is very large with plenty of seating and a fully stocked bar. Pampas is good to go to if you aren't looking for the "luxurious aesthetic" of a Fogo de Chão. I would definitely eat here again but go a lot lighter on the plate because I paid a Fogo price but did not get the Fogo quality meat.

I have been to this location many time , I travel from North County San Diego to eat there . Today, mother's day , we decided to eat there with the family . What a disappointment! They served us meat that was graded bellow human consumption, so hard to chew on and supposed to be picanha and maminha. We had to cut it in tiny little pieces and still was too hard. After $170 bill , my family was very unsatisfied with Pampas churrasco. We should have gone somewhere else . Very sad ! Not a very happy mother's day .

This was my first time at Pampas. I've never heard of them, but had just left the gym and decided I would try them and get food for my son and myself. From the buffet I grabbed; Greens, plantain, balsamic tomatoes, watermelon, corn, broccoli, rice with black beans, cheese bread, horrible potato salad with peas, raisins, and carrots. There's no meat because the carver (Guilherme) was extremely rude and I just decided not to waste their food I had already put in the tray and to cook meat when I got home. I will NEVER return. I'm big on customer service. I literally asked the server if I can have a small piece of the spicy chicken so that I can tell how spicy it would be for my young son. I was gonna buy it regardless for myself, but wanted to see if I needed to get something else for my son. Guilherme told me they don't give out samples, but yet there was someone in front of me who had got a whole container of beans to try before purchasing them.

Food is actually great. However it is a bit too pricey for me. I would eat only on special occasions.

Amazing food and ambience! The meat and pineapple fresh off the grill, stews and salads that are just as good. Not cheap but not expensive for the quality and taste of the food. It's buffet-style and pay-by-the-pound but totally absolutely worth it. Great for a Sunday lunch and nap after.

Always a great experience at Pampas! The food is delicious and the guys who work there are the best. Will definitely be back soon!

I absolutely love this spot! Been a few times now - when you walk in, you can grab a tray and there are some free grab items, today I got the tomatoes, beet salad, beef stew, and garlic rice. It is all so fresh and delicious! Then you go over to the churassco and they have various bbq meats, cut to order in the temperature you like. I opted for the Pichana this time and it was melt in your mouth tender. I will be back again!

Have been coming to Pampas for over 10 years. Always hits the spot, great cuts of meat, authentic brazillian sides, and it's weight by plate so you can get as much as you want.

I can't speak about the authenticity because I'm not a Brazilian, but as a regular consumer, this is my favorite restaurant, I don't care about the price or the service, the food makes me overlook everything else.

One of the better Cadillac margaritas I've had this summer. food is good spicy chicken and vegetables. I like the way you serve your appetite. A tasty treat even if your watching your calories ..

Well what do you know? Wishes do come true! In my last review, I mentioned that they have live music now, but I did not like the music. And I said I wish they will play Bossa Nova music since they are Brazilian. Anyway, tonight, when I stopped by to pick up some food, the live musicians on hand started playing "Mais Que Nada" (popularized by Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66). And it was a pretty good version! The musicians were a duo -- a man and a woman. The guy played the guitar and did the vocals (at least for "Mais Que Nada"), and the lady did the drums. Pretty cool! And as always food was great. I recommend Sirloin Cap (Picanha), the Sausage, Beans, including the Beans with Pork (yummy). I also recommend their nicely- sauteed Collard Greens. Also they have Fried Plantains. And don't forget the Cheese bread (Pao de queijo) ! Service is nice of course, including the cashier.

I come here whenever I'm craving brazilian food, there's a lot of the traditional dishes and you can try all of them at once. Variety of meats, you can get out of there pretty full. The staff is friendly and fast. The ambiance is clean, not crowded, chill music in the background.

I came to this place with an open mind, as I have only been to the AYCE Brazilian Steakhouses. This place is a self-serve styled Brazilian Steakhouse where they weigh your plate at the end where you pay for your food. We ate outside which was super nice and relaxing, as they have multiple TVs throughout the restaurant. For the most part, the sides that they had was pretty good, and the meat I got was the picanha, which was extremely delicious. We also received some desserts - the flan and strawberry cheesecake which were also extremely delicious, would highly recommend! Be prepared to pay a good amount of money if you do decide to come here!

Great Brazilian buffet style cuisine that's served by weight, their staff is always helpful and friendly.

The only thing higher than the price is probably the salt content. But if you don't eat it every week, you might stave off hypertension. It's by weight, so come for the meats and skip most of the filler sides. Service varies a lot. I've had friendly people, but it's more typically the IDGAF attitude assembly line style service, bordering on condescending. I still tip either way. You'll have more trouble elbowing around in line than from the actual wait staff. Not fancy inside. A good place to grab food after work or after the gym next door.

Highly recommended--great value! I got picana, garlic picana, and lamb, and they were all tasty. Ask for slices of grilled pineapple!

This used to be my go-to birthday lunch spot when I worked nearby. Love their food and pay-by-weight approach. Delicious Brazilian BBQ meats and sides.

Nice family style Brazilian buffet. Usually crowded but, fast service. The food including desserts are consistently good.

When the food is cooked right, this place is absolutely amazing! Only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is there have been a few times when the meat is overcooked and I haven't been able to get medium rare even when I ask. But otherwise, I love this place and go everytime I go to So Cal. Love the picana and garlic beef, plus the buffet has great sides like fried yucca, pasta and Brazilian chimichuri (what they call it). Definitely recommend this place!

I went to Bossa Nova last night on Pico, and it was awful. The food tasted wierd. My husband said the plantains tasted like they were in a bag for months in the freezer. We needed a corrective experience. So I went ahead and went to pampas grill and got some stuff for us. And my husband said, the plantains are amazing. The cheese bread was hard, so didn't get those. But everything else was great. I went to bossinova because, I just wanted to go somewhere, grab it and go. I didn't want to get in line, but there was no line at Pampa's tonight. Moving forward, it's worth the line. Yeah, that bossa nova was so disappointing. I used to go to the one in West Hollywood. I used to work on sunset near doheny road, and then I'd go to that Bossa Nova off SanMo across from the Abbey and it was amazing back then. I don't know what happened. So gross now.

We eat here several times a month. Service is always impeccable, food is fresh, meats are amazing. Fogo De Chao may offer a more well rounded experience but Pampas meats are much better. I've observed owner interacting with customers, very good people. Friday nights they offer live music, check it out !

They have one of the best picanhas in California, they know what they are doing there, their feijoada is great and their rice is good, they have collard greens also that is very good, the dessert is not great though, I've tried different ones and i didn't like them. They are always very polite and the place is nice. It's kinda pricey so it depends on the person to find out if it's a good deal for you or not, for me it's fine because I love Brazilian food. I would come back there definitely

This place was okay. When they weigh the food it's only at one rate, and the plates are HEAVY. The picancha was dry / tough even though it looked tender. The bacon chicken was hella dry as well. Service is non existent because it's self serve. Very casual vibe and can get very busy and loud at 7-8pm

Food looks so delicious, beware of your selections because not all dishes are cooked properly or made fresh daily. Of course, it is easy to tell after you have already paid or when you take it "to go" and it just doesn't taste right. A beef stew that gets reheated a few times gets saltier and saltier. Cassava root if not cooked properly it can really make you sick...unfortunately, if you wish to call them and complain the phone doesn't get answered so bottom line it is a lose, lose situation and you are out $29.00 and change for mediocre food.

Food is amazing but the price is too high for a plate to go. Why a "To go buffet" that weighs 0.350 has the same price of one that weighs 1.730 ?? If I had used table service and got a drink the price would be reasonable but this was a TO GO !!
