Pedroca's Burguer

**4.5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Pedrocas Burger Lawndale: A Fun Brazilian Twist on the Classic Burger** Tucked in a small strip on Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, **Pedrocas Burger** is the novelty Brazilian burger spot that stands out with its bright green-and-yellow signage and cheerful vibe 🇧🇷🍔. The place is classic fast-casual: order at the counter, grab a number, and food comes out quick. The **convenient location** makes it an easy stop off the 405 or after a beach day in nearby Manhattan or Redondo. Plenty of parking in the lot, too. **Service was friendly**—the staff greeted with big smiles, patiently explained the Brazilian-inspired menu, and my order was ready in under 10 minutes even during the dinner rush. Got their signature **Pedrocas burger**, and it’s definitely a unique experience: juicy beef patty topped with corn, potato sticks, cream cheese, bacon, and a fried egg, all on a soft bun. The novelty factor is high—crunchy, creamy, salty layers that feel like a party in your mouth. It’s messy in the best way and surprisingly filling. That said, deductions based on my personal preferences keep it from a full 5. The **secret sauce seasoning** was mild and creamy (more mayo-based than bold or tangy), the **patty taste** was solid but not deeply beefy or charred like my favorite American-style burgers, and overall the **Brazilian style** (heavy on starchy toppings and creaminess) just isn’t my everyday vibe—I prefer simpler, sauce-forward classics. Still, Pedrocas earns a strong 4.5 for delivering a fun, flavorful twist that’s executed well in a friendly, convenient spot. If you’re curious about Brazilian burgers or want something different from the usual smash or In-N-Out run, this is worth trying. I’d come back for the novelty.

The sandwich is delicious, with several other snack options available, as well as vegan and vegetarian choices for those interested. The service is top-notch. I’m very happy to see an immigrant finding their place here in the U.S. Congratulations on the great work, and I wish them much success!

This place was absolutely phenomenal. The burgers, coxinhas, and açaí were especially fabulous. It was delicious and authentic and really lifted our spirits. The place has super friendly people and great vibes. We’ll be coming back!

My colleagues and I went as a group for a celebration. Brazilian burgers were a first time for most of us and the owner very kindly gave us an explanation about the menu. I wanted to get the x-coração, but they were out of chicken hearts. So, I opted for the churrasco burger with breaded catupiry with fries. The burger was delicious, rich and savory. We also got snacks for the table: queijo coalho, yuka, and coxinha de frango. I particularly liked the yuka because it came hot and freshly fried. Overall, the service was amazing—all the staff were warm and friendly. Even though the space wasn’t the biggest, the food and service definitely makes it a place worth going. Thank you so much for a great night!

Is Brazilian and American Burger spot was delicious and unique, Brazilian style burgers are overwhelmingly large and inexperience for sure! Ordered a American burger as well to taste a base level and it was delicious! Shoestring fries just like I like them all. The sauces for dipping and friendly suggestions from the staff. This place is unassuming and unpretentious and mind-blowing when it comes to flavor!

Absolutely the best Brazilian burger in the U.S.! Juicy, flavorful, and packed with authentic Brazilian flair — from the perfectly seasoned beef to the crispy bacon and that unforgettable creamy catupiry. Every bite took me straight back to Brazil. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!

A wonderfully original and delicious hamburger! I ordered the Bacon X cheeseburger. The corn and potato sticks added contrasting texture to this well seasoned and moist cheeseburger. Plus, the bacon was equally crisp and chewy. The French fries are crinkle cut so there is more crunchy surface texture. I highly recommend enjoying a meal here. Pedroca is fun loving and passionate about his namesake restaurant.

Have you tried Brazilian burger? Come with me! I had: 1. Brazilian burger spot 2. X-Picanha - top sirloin 3. X-Cabuloso - melted Mozzarella style cheese 4. Churrasco - all beef patty, sausage, Brazilian cheese 5. Pudim 6. Flan

I've stopped by this spot a handful of times and always leave with a smile. The staff is super attentive, especially if you're new to Brazilian cuisine--they make you feel right at home. I know it sounds silly, but I always order the fries... and I swear by it--they're the best fries I've ever had. Crispy, flavorful, and even better with their thousand island sauce. Next time, I'm finally going for their massive hot dog--it looks way too good to keep passing up!

I love this place, the food is always consistent and delicious. If you haven't been to Brazil this place tastes like home according to my husband! The service is amazing and the restaurant environment is so welcoming and colorful!

I give this review lots of love and hardwork the owner has put into creating a space that represents where he came from. The ingredients were so fresh and was very generous! Though, the burger wasn't my style and liking. It was overwhelming for me to break down the flavor and how to eat it. This is a me-problem for sure but this is my authentic review. The service was great and very friendly! They explained to us how the menu worked and what they recommended based on what we liked. The ambiance was welcoming and fun. It was easy to find a place to eat and enjoy the food with some guarana. My husband loved this place, so I think we would come back to try other burgers/ food. We ordered the picahna burger and churrasco burger.

Cool place. I work not too far from here and decided to finally stop by since i had some free time. The place is nice, and the customer service was awesome. They explained all the burger options. I went with the $15 dollar baconator with an onion ring, guarana drink= $3.63 and a $3 soda which was slightly over price at $3 for a can. For dessert i got the fan $9 dollars. It was a good experience. The burger tasted great, it was huge with fresh toppings and fries were nice and crispy. Flan was ok, i had better and of course the guarana is one of the best drinks around. Next time i come back i will try an authentic brasilian burger. It's located in a small strip mall area not far from sofi (2-3 miles tops) so this would be a good place to eat before a stadium event. Would i come here again? Most definitely and i will soon. Food Rating Baconator burger - 8.5\10 Fries 8.1\10 hard to find good fries but these were good! Pudim 7.0\10 i would pass on this and try a different dessert.

Muito Bem!! The guys working were very polite and knew how to make a d*mn good burger. Had plenty of options for homemade desserts, drinks and a huge menu. The meat was cooked perfect for the X- Picanha burger with an amazing sauce and fresh ingredients on a soft bun! The X- Raposao, had two perfectly cooked patties, ham, chicken(little dry) & great for those protein days! The Hot dog was exactly how you'd want from Brazil, amazing flavor and solid amount of toppings. Overall will definitely be back and happy to know this place exists!

I liked this place. The owner is extremely friendly, very appreciative of being a business owner and providing the community with an interesting twist on traditional hamburgers. I ordered the heavy hitter of all hamburgers there. From the initial look of it, I almost couldn't wrap my head around how I was going to attack it but where there's a hungry person there's a way! This was a full course meal wrapped into a single burger. Their sauces compliment the uniqueness of the burgers. The service was friendly and warm. The prices were very reasonable. Finding parking at this location can be difficult. And YES! I would come back again.

The food was great - both the burgers and the fries. Everything was fresh and served quickly. The staff was very nice and very willing to explain menu items. All the menu items were very large, and a good value for what you pay. At first some of the burger toppings could seem overwhelming, but the flavors work really well together (I didn't expect it, but the corn on the burgers worked really well!) Will definitely come back!

It takes a rare diamond in the rough for me to take a moment to Yelp anymore, so when I see that a place like Pedroca's Burger has less than 100 reviews after being opened for a few years - I'm compelled to get the word out! F&B MUST GETS: X-Cabuloso Burger Yummmmmmmm!! It's as epically massive as it looks! A dozen layers of meats, cheese, fried egg, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, special sauce, AND delightfully crunchy POTATO STICKS all squeezed between two toasty buns. This burger is the ultimate breakfast / lunch / late night munchie / just about anytime you will be craving. Crinkle Fries Perfectly golden and crisp! Soda Bosa Brazilian soda! A moderately sweet and perfectly effervescent thirst quencher that comes in yummy flavors like passionfruit. SERVICE: Pedro, the owner, was so hospitable the moment we walked in! He took the time to explain the menu with enthusiasm to us and shared the fan favorites aka: the X-Cabuloso Burger which again I cannot emphasize you must get! VIBE: casual, chill, and no frills - everything street food should be - with pops of fun color and Brazilian touches. I already can't wait to go back! And truly hope to see a line out the door next time I go! Because this place is truly a gem!

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about this place!!! The food and the owner and workers are amazing. We've been to their old location in Culver City and sadly it closed so I'm thrilled they found their new home. Made the trek here from Pasadena and the food is still as good as I remembered it. Got the Brazilian hot dog and the X cabuloso burger and both were tasty and filling :) can't wait to come back again They have outdoor dining so we were able to bring our dog here too.

I never had Brazilian style burgers. When I tried their food, it tasted great! I had their X Cabuloso burger and it was packed with a lot of food: sausages, egg, these small shredded potato, and so on. To eat something this massive, you have to actually compress the burger, which I have no complaints. I had their Queijo Coalho appetizer which I heard great things about. I will admit, it was okay, not bad but not the best on their menu. I wouldn't really recommend it due to its expensive price, especially when they give you so little. Employees were great, very nice and friendly. It took awhile to get my food, but I think they cook it fresh which I really like. On the weekdays, it's pretty empty, so there are plenty of seating. Ambiance is pretty quiet and great to eat at. I would definitely like to come back and try their other burger options.

From Kansas we don't have much like this, a short search for burgers near our hotel and this popped up, tons of unique options, as well as what's inside the burger. The burgers were a handful, super good though and very fresh feeling! The staff was extremely helpful and considerate to us in explaining everything on the menu and what they deem their best options. I was so happy to have chosen this local spot ! If you have more than 4 people with you, the place might be too small for you though, seating is scarce but don't let that scare you away

The service is great, friendly servers. Explaining the menu and recommended burgers. The burgers are to die for. One thing for certain they are huge. And the area is small but just right. I live far but when I'm in the area I always stop by

I wanted to try this spot out since the reviews seemed great. However, when I got home and ate the food, the patty was dry and I had to drench it with a lot of sauce in order to finish it. Also, the fries were dry as well. They gave me old lettuce that was soggy as shown in the pic. I expected more from this place and was excited to try out a Brazilian style burger but was disappointed. It tasted like any other burger but with added items like corn, sausage and ham. The total came out to $24!!! Unfortunately, I will not be coming back but I rated it 3 stars because of their friendly service.

I couldn't take a picture of the burger because it was so good I ate it too fast. As you can see in the note this is how Brazilians are. Every burger is crafted with love and care and they gave me free French fries. I can't say enough about this place. Eat LOCALLY and make a DIFFERENCE IM THE COMMUNITY. Thank you for the delicious food I have yet to try the coxhinas but that will be next. Obrigado!!!

The first Brazilian burger I ever had, and definitely one of the best hamburgers I've ever tasted. I recommend the Picanha burger, a true taste of Brazil My favorite reason to come? The owner always makes you feel like family and welcomes you and makes you feel like you're at home...

This is one the best burgers to have! Staff was super friendly,food is amazing. I live in Norcal, and I cannot come to socal without visiting this restaurant!

This place was amazing with a super friendly staff and clean spot. The burgers here are huge and delicious. The combo of flavors are nontraditional but they made it work. Plus, the cheesy fries prefectly complemented the burger. Love the concept of this place. Only downside would be the limited parking bc they share it with a laundromat. Will def return to this place!

Absolutely fire 10/10 recommend Best Brazilian burger in LA Customer service is really good

The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. They accommodated our party of 14. It's a small place but the fresh food packed a punch and their friendly staff made us feel welcomed.

I had the X-Bacon Burger. It was delicious! Perfect actually! Never had something like this before since I'm Mexican. Definitely a hidden gem! The girl that was the cashier was so kind and explained all questions I had.

If this is Brazilian street food, then I'm heading to Brazil next. Got to try the X Picanha, X Cabuloso, and fries. They add corn and thinly sliced fries to both these burguers. The house sauce is what brings all the flavor together. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. The owner let me get a drink while I waited for him and his staff to whip up his burguers and fries. He did a great job with the stores decor. Made me feel like it could be a chain restaurants in Brazil. Owner seem like a real good guy and to make it out of the pandemic is a testament to his business.

I live in San Diego and I was so lucky to have found this place on social media. If you haven't been here and you wanna try a different style burger check this place out! What an AMAZING style of burger! Made with mozzarella cheese, corn(yes corn!) and thin shredded potato sticks. We got the X, bacon/egg and the bacon burger with the green mayo and yucca fries. Big burgers and sooooo freaking good! We devoured all of it. They even sent a thank you note. Highly recommended and worth the drive! Thank you Pedroca's for an AMAZING meal. I'LL BE BACK SOONER THAN LATER : )

This is place is the most authentic Brazilian burger place I've had since moving out to LA! Soooo good and such great different burger options to choose from. The owner and staff are all so nice and quick with the service! The ambiance of the place is very laid back and is a great place for a quick bite with some friends. They even add in a nice little touch with a personalized note on their to-go orders!! 10/10 recommend for anyone to give em a try! I promise they'll be one of your regular stops after your first time!

Delicious burgers! I wasn't entirely clear if the picanha or chicken hearts burger came with beef patties (they don't). It didn't matter though because they were delicious and piled high with a wonderful mix of textures, sauces and vegetables. I loved that they came in a little bag to hold it all in. Fries were hot, fresh and crisp. The drinks were like better versions of fruit drinks you know and with free refills. To top it all off the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They did tend to try to steer us towards safer options, maybe I want chicken hearts We enjoyed the outdoor seating on an afternoon

Hubby and I love trying new foods, especially burgers We ordered the picanha burger meal, which is filled with crunchy fries, lettuce, tomato, and yummy juicy picanha. We also ordered guaraná, flan, and Dulce de Leche cake in a cup. We will definitely go back to try other specials.

The best and unique burger in town ! Wonderful costumer service! Great ambiance! The owner Pedro makes sure all his clients are happy Price unbelievable, very affordable price!

Love this establishment. Great service and awesome attitude. The owner and he's staff are very polite and nice. Great vegan burgers taste delicious. They personally write notes for you're delivery orders packaged very nicely. They truly care about there customers experience with they're food. I wish this business very well its awesome.

I went there because it was introduced to me as a good burger restaurant! This was my first time trying a Brazilian-style burger. The burger was delicious, with finely chopped potatoes fried and sandwiched between the potatoes for a fun texture. And the handwritten message on the togo bag made me smile. I recommend it.

We had the bacon cheeseburger and regular cheeseburger. They add thinly sliced fries to the burger. They asked us if we wanted a special cheese. However the girl at the counter couldn't really explain what kind of cheese it was. Basically it's cold cream cheese mixed with corn. So they add the cold cream cheese mixed with corn on top of the patty. Big slices of tomato and lots of lettuce. We made it a combo (fries and a fountain drink) it came out to $47 not including tip. Burgers were OK, different but not worth $47.

Delicious Brazilian street food, Brazilian burgers! My Brazilian friends always raved about Pedroca's Burguer, but Culver City was a bit out of the way for me. I'm so glad they moved to South Bay! We tried the Picanha burger, cheese & bacon fries and churros. My teenage son liked it so much, he ordered a second burger! The fries were perfectly crunchy and was covered in cheesy goodness. The churros were delicious and came with Nutella and dulce de leche to dip in. My son is allergic to hazelnut so we didn't use the dip but dulce de leche was delicious. Churros were crisp to perfection. They make their food fresh so it takes a little more time than your usual burger joint. But you won't regret a little extra wait because the food is 100!! Give it a try and you won't regret it! They also have açaí and other Brazilian yummies like Pao de queijo and desserts. Obrigada! We will be back!

The best Burguer you'll ever have!!!! Usually I get the chicken burger w fries and a Brazilian flan for dessert. Pedro and the staff are always super kind and friendly making a simple dinner a great experience! I totally recommend this place!!! Food 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Staff 5/5

amazing food, amazing service and amazing ambience!!! everyone was amazing to me I love pedrocas

Me encantan las hamburguesas, las papitas con Nutella, el Açai... Son muy amables cuando te atienden y el ambiente también

3 letters to describe my first time experience... OMG! Warm and Friendly greeting. I went with their recommendation for a first timer...the Cabuloso and Fries...definitely not a disappointment. I love the decor. Definitely brings out the home away from home vibe. Thank you!

I was excited to try another unique burger place. I found the haystack looking potatoes very interesting in the photos I previewed. Plus, I wanted to try Brazilian style burgers. We ordered two burgers and for an additional $5.99 it's a combo. Initially, I thought that was a bit high but I do like to support new small businesses, so I ordered two combos. Our drink cup was disappointed small. Since many of the fountain drinks were still being set up, the owner was very accommodating and let us choose some canned drinks. After i paid for the order, I was told it would take 15 minutes. I figured this is going to be fresh, so no big deal to wait. Our order was brought to us and just one bite of the fries and it was just too salty. I do know Brazilian meat at other places can be salty but this was excessive on the fries. I could actually see the salt on the fries. I requested new fries with no salt or less of it. We waited again and this time the fries were suitable. We found the beautifully presented burger dry overall. Unsure if it was the patty itself or not enough sauce? Would I go back again? Sure. The owner rectified it. Would I order the combo? probably not. It's way overpriced. Parking in the mini strip mall.

One of the most flavorful burgers you will ever have! Very delicious and made fresh. Highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for an amazing meal. The customer service was so good and the staff was friendly and helpful when choosing what to get. Make sure you get the fries as well

This is the best and only Brazilian Burger Place in LA. And of course not just burgers, the other items in the menus are delicious... The cleanliness of the place, the AWESOME customer service not just from the employees, the owner is ALWAYS so welcoming, nice, friendly.

The BEST Brazilian style burger in Los Angeles! Delicious, juicy meat and super crispy fries! I recommend 100% In addition, they also had the acai bowl which was wonderful, there are other toppings, although I chose the classic with strawberry, banana and granola!

Delicious! First time trying and I'll definitely be back. The owner was so friendly. I recommend it. I got the "x bacon burguer" and it was yummy.cant wait to try other items on the menu.

Amazing Brazilian style burgers Very friendly staff, Bossa Nova music takes You to the shores of Brazil

I've know Pedrocas since they were in Culver City, and I can tell you that it was good before but now, they are absolutely amazing. I truly enjoy coming here. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentions service and the burgers are outstanding. I love it and recommend it. Abraços!!

The Brazilian style burgers are more than legit (they are actually better than most burgers in Brazil) Go hungry because they are quite big.

The food was bomb!!! The service was absolutely top notch with the workers answering any questioning we had about the food and being super patient. When taking a seat, there's so much about Brazil from soccer, to Brazilian flags which felt nice for a change experiencing Brazilian culture. The food was great! The meat was well cooked and the burgers were delicious. Definitely recommend coming back.

If I died right now, I would die a happy death. I am sure I just ate the best burger of my life today. I ordered the X-Cabulosa from the fresh lettuce and tomato to the perfectly seasoned meat, it was hot fresh and F*ck delicious. Who knew corn, and potato sticks were needed on a burger? The sauces were great and perfect. Every bite was a carnival in my mouth. Service was fantastic and you can genuinely see they care and want the business to succeed. I don't want to just say this places hits all the spots, checks all the boxes because it does. Plenty of seating inside and outside, bright, clean and a great hidden gem to have locally. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

I rarely write reviews, but this place is 5 stars all around. The X Burgers are quite possibly the best burgers I've ever tried. They're full of flavor and they are airy; they don't leave you feeling "greasy" if that makes sense. My family and I came last night to check them out and I'm so glad we did. We hadn't even finished our food and we were already talking about when we'd like to come again. We ordered X Egg Burger, X Bacon Burger, Quiejho, and chicken nuggets for our toddler. We devoured our burgers and even went back to order another one to share (X Burger). The Queiejho (fried cheese cubes with honey) were also delicious and our toddler ended up enjoying this cheese snack more than the chicken nuggets (although the nuggets were good too). The service was also wonderful. The cashier was very helpful in explaining all the items to us, and the owner checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. If you are reading this review, please go ahead and try the burgers - I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. We will be recommending this place to our family and friends, as well as become frequent visitors.

No burger compares to this one I had, I am not even exaggerating but this is the best burger I've had. Forget everything you know about a good burger, this is the best! We met Pedro as he was in the register, super friendly, and so helpful. I got the picanha burger because I love picanha and wow this did not disappoint. Get everything that's on the burger including the corn! It goes together so well, the ingredients are so fresh like the tomato and lettuce they use. Pedro also brought us sauces like ketchup, mayo, and mustard so you can add that on your burger. I will definitely 100% go back, this is incredible! Also get a guarana, it's a brazilian soda and it pairs perfectly with the burger. I was debating on getting the nutella fries but this was so good. Staff is nice, it's so cute inside with all the Brazilian decorations. Thank you Pedro for an amazing experience, we will be back soon!

Great service & delicious unique burgers. Love the Brazilian flavors especially the sausage burger.

Came in today 09/17/24 had the Brazilian Hot dog my coworkers had the X Calabresa and X Egg Burger we all voted on 10/10 on taste. We also had a side of fries and salad(not on the menu). All food was very fresh with crunchy veggies and quality meats. The atmosphere was calm, very clean place. I've never had Brazilian Burgers before, I'm now hooked. I highly recommend this place. The staff did an awesome job at preparing our food. Service was excellent.
