The service is great. The salad spread is great and the dessert is not bad either. The meats, some.of them are good, some are bad (burnt or tasteless) but most are good, so it's still a pretty good experience overall.
Love this place, food, ambiance, prices, vibes, drinks, music, all great & 4.5 stars worthy but I gave them 5 stars because of their excellent customer service. One thing I like about coming to TJ restaurants is the great customer service, they always try their best & work with pride. To give an example of how it works here I'll compare it to Foga De Choa in San Diego. They come around & bring you different types of meat with a Latino flavor of course. Before you eat the meats hit up the buffet, they have great options of pasta, soups, salads, Mariscos. The desert buffet was Amazing, almost got diabetes I ate so much of it haha. So make sure to leave room for desert & take your metformin & insulin before you come :) They have a nice bar too with very good drinks. They also have a play area for kids with staff watching the kids so you can enjoy your meal when your kids are getting restless you can just take them there. Also they have real nice restrooms that's a plus for me. I liked all the meats especially the chicken they had, some of my fav items from the buffet were the shrimp Aguachiles, fruit salads & they had & good posole & churros & I was a big fan of their spaghetti. Pork Chile Verde was a winner for me as was the pizza. And the price you pay here is great compared to what you pay in the states so don't be a cheap ass & make sure to tip good, they've earned it because the customer service here is always on point. They have a fan in me & I will go out of my way to come to TJ to eat here. Keep up the great work Pampas & keep those restrooms clean & see you soon :)
If you are ever in Tijuana and craving Brazillian churrasco. Come here! Prices are half the prices of what you would pay in the US. If im not eating street tacos, this where you will find me. Ambiance is contemporary dinning. As far as I know, one can pay in MXN pesos or use their card.
Every time we're in Mexico, Mr. Pampas is the first stop. Not the airport tacos. Not the hotel check-in. We pull up here like it's a family tradition written in stone. This place is a steak-driven fever dream. Brazilian-style buffet where the meat keeps coming like it signed a Netflix deal. Garlic steak, bacon-wrapped steak, spicy cuts that hit like the final round of Chopped. The chicken's not playing either -- grilled, glazed, spinning off skewers like it's auditioning for So You Think You Can Cook. You start at the salad bar thinking you're about to pace yourself -- then by plate three, you're full-blown Leo behavior: dramatic, indulgent, refusing to back down. The staff? All-stars. Friendly, fast, and smoother than a Drake album rollout. They catch your vibe quick -- no small talk, just "you ready for round five?" energy. Ambiance is undefeated. You can bring your girl, your homies, or your entire family tree. Feels upscale without being uptight. Like if The Bear opened a rodizio in Tijuana and actually let you breathe. Bottom line: this place doesn't miss. You leave full, happy, and slightly concerned about how much meat your body can actually process.
Nice Brazilian restaurant with some good options. The service is outstanding and all meat meats are delicious. The self serve bar area has plenty of Brazilian and even some Mexican dishes. I'll be back...
No puedes venir a Tijuana sin pasar por Mr. Pampa's. La ensalada de zanahoria con piña y el filete mignon son mis favoritas
We went to Mr Pampas Otay location for my son's birthday. I've had better food at other AYCE Brazilian steak houses. The price was reasonable, about $25 for adults and half price for kids. I didn't like the food from the buffet area. The desserts were ok. They brought ice cream to our table and we thought they were a part of AYCE but apparently it's an additional charge. My ice cream with a splash of Baileys was about $12. Also, I told the waiter that we were there to celebrate my son's birthday. They brought out a cheesecake for him and that was an additional charge that we didn't know about. Just be aware of additional charges.
Excellent customer service! We were helped by an endless barrage of staff that resulted in quick service and very full plates of food! There was an amazing variety of side dishes to choose from. The table side meat service and variety of meat served was the best part. The ambiance was noisy... but it was very busy.
Service was outstanding. Come with an empty stomach bc there's so much food. Some of the food at the salad bar could be improved but the meats are excellent. I would for sure go back. The prime rib cut was juicy with a perfect crust and a nice garlicky flavor. Oh and don't miss the flambé pineapple its the absolute best.

No no its not a go!!! warm welcoming but It wasn't enough for me. We went to eat some protein! We kept having to flag down a waiter or one of the people handling the meat carvings. The selection of meat was very basic. I def should have checked on that before considering going. We kept getting offered sausage, tripe and burnt chicken. All those meats were over cooked for my liking. We also got picana and asked for filet mignon asked for medium, came out ok but burnt edges. It made it hard to eat. The carving portions were small kinda annoying to have to constantly wait or flag down a server for more. The meat was bland not even a little salt and pepper. Just not it. The buffet part was def not up to parr either. The salads look unappetizing, old. Same goes with all or most of the dishes that were offered. Ceviche, pastas, meat dishes. The kid friendly options were ok but even my kids didn't approve the pasta. We also had sangria which was ok, tasted more like a sour sparkling water. We didn't get a drink menu so we just kinda asked what they offer and opted for sangria. They have a kids room with an attendant which was pretty cool. It's the only reason my kids want to go back. The ambiance is decent. Not too loud, TVs around gave it a bar feel a bit. I wasn't expecting that. I believe the place is priced a little more on the higher side for what they offer. It didn't meet my expectations in food or service. I think it would be helpful to keep a better eye on buffet food. Wilted salads are not a good look. Provide more communication on what is offered for protein in this case. I don't go to Tijuana too often but when I do, I try a new restaurant. Stay tune for the next one. read more
One of my absolute favorite places to visit every time I'm in TJ!!!! The meat there is not even comparable to any of the places here in the United States. They have much more open food selection with much wider variety either Mexican or regular American style food. They will literally always at all times be passing by with meat, you would literally get sick of it and just have to turn the sign off (even then they still come with meat lol) The service is absolutely top notch and they made sure that we have everything we needed! Even come by all the time to see if there's any meat we would like to request so they could bring it for us!!!! That's just never happened with us before!!!!!!! We had a birthday there, and I tell you they really know how to do a celebration right, you will get the very much loud and fun birthday shoutout. Also they will make you chug a shot and shake your head like they do over there. It was so special and to be remembered. Parking structure is small there, but they do have valet and they'll take care of it for you. (I believe it's only valet parking there, I could be wrong. But we got the valet parking) Price can't be beat for the quality and amount of food. Absolute steal. 2 people on a weekend with a birthday celebration and couple soft drinks and water came to be about $80ish-$90. Which if you know how much Brazilian steakhouses in the US cost, you'd know how good of a deal that is!!!!!!!! Overall, it really sucks that this place is far away, otherwise I'd have been there every weekend :) But it is a stable to go to every time I'm in Mexico. read more

Wow just an unbelievable experience I had today at pampas for some delicious meat. We got seated very fast for a party of 7 people and we had a sign to ask for more meat and stop sign for no more meat. They had so many delicious options for side items. They made sure food was fresh and had employees going around every 15 minutes checking their quality of food. Our server did a fantastic job making sure we got the right meat on the table and enjoyed their desserts. Highly recommend this spot. Not pricey compared to San Diego and I would even say better quality. They had really nice music and it was very fancy tonight. read more

My second time here at this location but first time for dinner. Lots of great choices and the meat menu is vast but you have to look up the available meats and request the ones you want. They rotate the same 5-6 meats but if you want the higher quality like the tomahawk steak you've got to request for it. Picanha is yummy so is the arracherra. The tomahawk is delicious and so are the tiny chicken wings. I got full quick! Note they walk around with ice cream later on it's not included haha. I'll definitely be coming back it's a great value at around $24 USD per person. read more

Came here with another couple. We had taken a taxi once we crossed the border and arrived here on a Saturday night. Surprisingly it was plenty busy and I managed to get us in using the Spanish I remember. Truth be told - it was quite horrible as I knew the numbers but due to not being able to converse as much, my Spanish was VERY rusty. "Cuatro" for four. We were told a 20-25 minute wait, and with the crowd of people outside, it was a bit uncertain if we would get in. After a while, I heard my name being called along with "cuatro" - we got seated at a table for five...but they removed he chair later so we never found out if it might have been that I misheard even though I am pretty certain I heard them call my name. We were instructed to turn the wheel to green - if we wanted to have whatever was going around and spin it to red if we were not going to order any more for a while. This place definitely earns its name for Brazilian BBQ for all the meat that was going around. Each time a waiter would be scraping a piece or two off. Giant chunks at time or medium sized ones. The only thing was that we didn't know what we were eating majority of the time. They also had a huge salad bar in which you could grab whatever you like. So much food for all you could eat. They occasionally also walked around with specialties - shots of Patrón, shots of some sort of hard liquor and their delicious desserts which I had to get seconds. Overall we had a lovely time and the waiters were nice to us even through our limited ability to converse in Spanish. The only thing I would suggest in brushing up on the Spanish for asking how long it would take, and the number of people going as well as asking for the check. Would definitely want to come back again, but maybe in a year as that was a large amount of meat that we took in. We were all stuffed to the brim. read more

I've always been a fan of churrascarias, Brazilian steakhouses. When I was visiting someone in Tijuana on a weekend excursion, I was recommended to come to this place. So on a Saturday evening, we came here to have some great food. There were quite a lot of people here, but since we were a party of two, the wait was minimal. After putting my name down, we waited for about ten minutes before we got our table. Once we sat down, we ordered some bottled water and a jug of sangria. The sangria had fruit pieces swimming inside, which was pretty cool. It was delicious, and got my buzz going. We went to the salad bar to get some salad and rice, then came back to the table to begin the feast. The meat was delicious! I cannot speak about the pork, as I do not eat it. However, the beef and chicken variations were good! My favorite was, of course, filet mignon. After having several rounds of meat, we decided on some dessert. While the cheesecake was so-so, the other cake and sweet bread options were decent. The staff here was very friendly the entire time, and made sure we were taken cared of. We left satisfied with our meal. read more
