Upmarket Brazilian churrascaria. Upscale Brazilian chain for all-you-can-eat meat carved tableside plus an extensive salad bar.
Great experience. Soft Brazilian music in the back. Apple the host was so sweet & welcoming. The salad bar was filled with delicious options. & the meat cuts kept on coming 16 different types of quality meat cuts cooked from rare to well done. Very, pleasant, professional ambiance with AMAZING food. A steal for 42$ for lunch & 62$ for dinner. An elegant Brazilian oasis in the middle of the Downtown hustle & bustle.
Great place and atmosphere. Food doesn't disappoint whatsoever. Favorite was filet and lamb chops as they melt in your mouth. Mashed potatoes go great with the meat but as always, I try to keep the carbs to a minimum to be able have more room for the proteins. The Brazilian flan was to die for - photo included. Probably the best I have ever had, sorry mom. Guys and gals that serve are super nice and adhere to your special requests on meats in a timely manner. Overall was a great experience and will be sure to come back again and again.
This is the first Brazilian restaurant that I was actually pretty disappointed in. Reasons: Service was poor. Drinks kept being forgotten and not refilled. Water was refilled once. I'm fairly certain I didn't see 16 different kinds of meat passing by nor do I think they passed by with meat even 16x. I didn't pay for dinner and I still feel ripped off by the lack of service. The food tasted OK. The meat was not well seasoned and when I asked for medium rare (multiple times), they gave me medium well. Grilled Pineapple came by once and it was heavily salted which I have never had prepared that way and the salt was heavy and off putting. The Brazilian Lemonade was more just plain lemonade, no froth. Key lime pie was okay - a really small portion compared to the other desserts offered yet I only ate half as it wasn't worth the calories. I normally love Brazilian restaurants but this just built up disappointment after disappointment over the course of a 2.5 hour dinner. Come to Texas and you'll find some great Brazilian restaurants.
My wife and I went to Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse in Downtown L.A. to tryout Brazilian Steakhouse experience this will be the first time tryout the Churrasco experience includes the Brunch Market table it's about $45 that's the Brunch. We were invite to our friend birthday having it at Fogo de Chao.. The restaurant amazing beautiful with a touch of modern that amazing your eyes. We got seated and we look around how nice is thev restaurant. Then waiters hand us small really delicious bread it looks small drums like bread that you pop it in your mouth with a buttery taste that's is very addicted if you like this kind of bread. My wife and I order our drinks we try a South American cocktail my wife order the Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha and I order the Passionate Caipirinha. Both drinks are refreshing that we enjoy very much it's not that strong but you feel right away. We to the Brunch Market table have different kind of side includes meat like bacon cover with sugar one of my favorite. That when they bring the meats they were so goodI I enjoy it very much. My wife and I need to come back again.
I made a reservation and specified that it was for my husband’s birthday and need dessert with candles as I saw in the reviews they always do it all the time. They had plenty of empty tables but they just made all people sit around the salad bar and it was really crowded and so loud and noisy that I couldn’t even hear what my husband was saying. My husband went to the bathroom so I took the chance to call our waiter to double check about the dessert and candles and she said sure no problem. We started with the salad bar which was poor and didn’t have any variety, we have been to a lot different Brazilian steakhouses where they gave us more variety for the starter and salad. Unfortunately, nothing was satisfying but the mashed potatoes. Then they started serving the meat too late but to be honest, it was delicious and they cut you bigger slices than any other place. We asked them not to serve us pork, so we had less variety than anyone else. But again, they served us 4 times and then they stopped and didn't even serve us chicken!! I tried to keep talking to my husband till they come again and you can find the photo where they left us with no more food. Then the waiter came and asked us if we were done or if we want to keep on and I told him clearly that we are still working on and wanted to get serviced but also no service at all for almost 45 minutes then my husband got frustrated and called another waiter to get service, we waited for 10 more minutes then finally we got another round but this time the meat was really dry and it was awful that we asked him to stop service. I kept waiting for the dessert and candles to celebrate his birthday but waited for nothing then another waiter came and asked us if we want the check!!! I was so disappointed they ruined my husband's birthday!! I will never return to this place again and would not recommend it to anyone else.
Food was so good as usual. Drinks were excellent as well! We had a great time there eating as a group. The back room was really cold for some reason.
Good food, average service, terrible reservation system, waited 1 hour and 10 minutes even with a reservation. Also I am almost certain I caught COVID from the place on Christmas due to how long we waited and the fact that many were coughing around us while we were waiting. There’s no organization to the checkin process so tons of people were gathering at the entrance waiting to be called up.
Definitely an awesome dinner experience at Fogo in Los Angeles (800 S Figueroa). The meats were very well prepare / cooked. Plenty of choices at the salad bar and they come to the table with a lot of drink options, and dessert was fabulous. Super friendly staff. We were frequently (but not overwhelmed) checked on, to ensure our dining experience is the best. Military discount is available, just ask.
