My family and I decided to go to Pampas Grill to try the food and walk around the Original Farmer's Market. We took a rideshare there. We walked around and looked at different restaurants. When we found Pampas we noticed that you grab a tray and walk around and self serve the different food items that were offered. When you get to the meat section you tell the person working behind the counter what you would like, they cut off the meat, put it on the plate and you move on. They weigh your plate and then you pay. For my meal I tried several different types of meat, a stew, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, and rolls. It was a lot of food and very filling. The meat was definitely the best part of the meal. I chose to get two different types of beef, a serving of stew, and some chicken. Both the beef and the chicken were tender and full of flavor. The stew was delicious. I actually served it over my rice and mixed it together for added texture. The pasta and the rice were al dente and honestly I would have preferred them to be a little more tender than firm. The potatoes were good. They had a slightly salty flavor and were smooth. The rolls were good as they were small, with a semi crispy exterior and a soft interior. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall Pampas Grill is located in a cool outdoor atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It has friendly service and the food was very filling and flavorful. read more

There is a reason why of all the food stalls at The Original Farmers Market, Pampas Grill always has the longest line. It is that. damn. good. FOOD: Chicken Stroganoff - 9.1 / 10 When someone says "Brazilian", I get that most people immediately think of grilled meat & you wouldn't be wrong. But don't sleep on the stroganoff. It's such an underrated "side" dish. Truth be told, I could just get their stroganoff & be happy as a clam. Pieces of real chicken in a viscous tomato-cream stew. Pro-Tip: pour the stroganoff on their mashed potatoes like a gravy & thank me later. Pão de queijo - 9.1 / 10 The signature bread of Brazil. Small rolls of bready goodness. But what makes their bread stand out? The bits of real cheese that are baked into the bread. No butter needed here. Cheese literally makes everything better. Rice + Beans - 8.3 / 10 The quintessential side dish known as "Moros y Cristianos". They are obviously served separately, but do the traditional move & pour your beans on top of your rice. Platanos - 8.2 / 10 Fried plantains. I prefer mine cooked "well done" so that get those crisp burnt edges. I also believe that cooking them longer makes them sweeter. This is like my "desserts" of sorts since it's a sweet bite. Picanha - 8.6 / 10 The definitive meat of Brazil. If there was only 1 meat - it is this. Flavorful when cooked right. Salted, dipped-in-water, then grilled. Simple. Every Brazilian place should be judged by their Picanha. Linguiça - 8.6 / 10 Sausage. Properly plump + juicy. Well-cooked with a bit of sweetness. The pork is a nice contrast to overwhelming amount of beef that is served at any Brazilian churrascaria. Lamb leg - 8.4 / 10 A lot of people can be apprehensive when it comes to lamb. Get over it. If it's properly cooked - grilled over an open flame, it can arguably beat out a really good piece of grilled beef. Slightly gamier in taste, it's a very welcome addition that brings variety to the table. Picanha ao Alho - 8.7 / 10 Like the aforementioned Picanha but with the addition of garlic. Who doesn't love garlic? Maminha - 8.6 / 10 Their new Tri-Tip. Taste like their signature regular picanha, but with a slightly more tender tetxture. Personally, I think that tri-tip tends to taste a bit beefier than a typical sirloin cap (picanha). Yes, they weigh your plate for the price. Yes, the factor out the weight of the plate. read more

Delicious food as always, you serve yourself however the food is prepared wonderful so service is a 50/50, [[HIGHLIGHT]]being at the farmers market it's got a great feel as your sitting enjoying your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing that is kind of a turn off is this time we got bread and potato salad so we served ourself 100% and when checking out the male working the register was very short and seemed annoyed when I gave a $2.00 tip on a $6.00 bill. read more

It's honestly rare for me to find Brazilian food, so I was really excited to try this place. I'm a huge fan of black beans and plantains, and all of the meat options looked so good being cut right in front of you. I got the sirloin cap and lamb leg. The sirloin cap was amazing, and while I probably wouldn't get the lamb again because it was a little tough, that's honestly on me for trying to get everything. I also really liked the whole concept here. The plates are weighed, and you self serve all your sides, which makes it feel really fun and customizable. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and the line was pretty short, so I'd definitely recommend going around then if you can. read more

I came here as I read great ratings online. The meat flavor was good, however, the self serve bar food was not very hot. It felt warm but not what you expect your food to be when you get fresh food. The same went for the meat. The meat was slightly warm at best, which detracted a bit from the experience. The service was great however - they are fast and they keep the line moving. The seating outside is the general farmers market seating at the grove. Aside from the temperature of the food, it was pretty good. read more

Pampas Grill is my go-to spot. Better than the AYCE of Fogo de Chao. You can spend $14-20 per person and get an appetizing meal of sides and meats that will fill you to satisfaction. My review of Pampas is ***** five stars My review of Farmer's Market Parking would be Zero 0 Stars... Pampas has nothing to do with the parking or parking policy and I feel are also victims alongside customers of the Farmer's Market greedy parking system. Tuesday 12-30-25, coming to Farmers Market (and The Grove, adjacent to Farmer's Market) during the festive holidays to support the local merchants, ended up being a visit of regret. Parking at the Farmer's Market is horrendous to the degree that their policy, validation and rates they charge customers to shop there is very counterintuitive to supporting their retailers and restaurants to generate foot traffic and business. I wonder if the food court / shopping center's clients (those who run a business here) know of this mismanagement that affects their business? The food court / shopping center's parking system is disingenuous to supporting retailers and customers. You park, you eat, you shop and buy, hang out for maybe 2-3 hours, spend money and even with a merchant parking validation you pay $17 to park and support the center's businesses. The retailers who I'm sure pay a hefty rent should be in an uproar to this issue which if resolved could mean a surge in customers and income. Let the public support the merchants and make parking FREE for patrons who make purchases. read more

Finally decided to join the queue to see what the fuss is all about here. I was pleasantly surprised. The churrascaria here is as good as those higher end AYCE spots that charge high premiums. The cuts are well seasoned and tenderly grilled. More flavor than simply salt and pepper like most other places. Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity of protein and side dishes. This $26 mouth watering plate is outstanding. read more

My go-to place to grab food at the Farmers Market. I love that I get to choose exactly what I want and how much of it I want. There is always enough for a meal and leftovers for later for about $25.

Today, it was a 5-star experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Brazilian spot is located in The Grove's Farmers Market, so always big lines.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today, however, it was fewer people, friendly fast service and my plate got to me pretty quickly. I got myself some tasty tomato salad, rice, delicious fried plantains and 2 kinds of churrasco meats- some top sirloin and sirloin cap. Both meats were very juicy, right off the grill, thinly sliced and served to my plate. Although both meats were similar in taste and its soft texture, they still were incredibly delicious. The green and orange salsa that they give you was a great spicy dipping sauce for the meats and for the yummy fried plantains. Great quick lunch! Will be back for more! read more

Pampas is absolutely worth the wait. Yes, the lines can be long, especially during peak hours, but that's a testament to how good the food is.

Im Brazilian so I love trying new and existing spots that offer meals from my homeland! Here you will find friendly service and awesome tasting barbecue prepared fresh for you to pick from! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only kinda negative thing about this place is that you will have to eat outside and the food generally doesn't stay hot by the time you grab a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is still worth it for us to drive about an hour to come here once in a while to have authentic Brazilian "churrasco" experience.

Pampas Grill - Brazilian barbecue plate - Brazilian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pampas is in the Famers Market area at the Grove. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Insanely crowded on the weekends!!! Come prepared to look for parking and to wait in line to get your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is in a food court setting so it can get busy in the weekends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finding a good table in the shade was difficult, we ended up finding a table in the sun. Kind of annoying, but we were thankful we were able to find a table![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is cafeteria style, you'll scoop your own food, pick your meats and preferred wellness and the servers will cut the meat straight off the stick for you. There are a variety of cold dishes: build your own salad, Caesar salad, beet salad, heart of palm salad, boiled eggs, broccoli, cucumber salad. Enough options to satisfy anyone! The hot dishes varies between stews, pasta, rice, and beans. All very tasty and brought a variety of fresh flavors to pair with the meats. They had different Brazilian meats, a good variety of beef and chicken and a few options for lamb and pork. I chose mainly veggies side dishes, wouldn't want to get too full of carbs!! The meat was the main star of the plate and it definitely did. You can ask the server for your preferred wellness whether you like it medium or well done, they'll give it to you. I asked for meat well done, I love a good char grilled piece and it didn't disappoint!! The meats were tender, perfectly well without being dry. Seasoned great with a blend of spices. This meal is soooo filling, it's nice that it's located at the Grove so there's a ton of stuff to do! read more

So we were on an excursion and were dropped off at this market place for lunch. A bit bewildering as we were surrounded by many other tourists milling around looking for food. Unfortunately, I didn't know what was being offered, but there was a listing of foods being offered. I saw Brazilian, and made a beeline for that venue. Unfortunately, it seemed like everyone else beat me to it! So I was sweating bullets thinking we were going to miss our bus. Fortunately, we had 15 minutes to eat. So what did I pick? Had slices of garlic beef and seasoned tri tip beef with some garlic rice and balsamic tomato's. My husband had one sausage with rice. The poor man was also thinking we would have no time to eat. I told him we had plenty of time and fed him half of my meats. It was all good because I have a bad habit of over estimating how much I can eat. So there was no waste. We both were stuffed. Anyway, these meats were SO good, that I can understand how popular they were. So if you see Brazilian food being offered, RUN before other people are aware. Just kidding, lol, but know there will be a long line. Delicious food and nice servers. Pricey as they charge by weight, but the meat is so delicious I didn't care (don't tell my husband). Give them a try, your taste buds will thank you. read more

Delicious spot for Brazilian BBQ without spending $$$ and you can portion how much meat and sides you want depending on your hunger levels.

We've been coming to various Pampas Grill locations throughout the past 7 years and to this specific Grove farmers market for the past 4 or 5 visits. This is the first time that the picanha was served 98% raw and absolutely no care or attention paid to the portions/slices. I was with my family (including two young children) so I wasn't paying close attention to the pieces of meat being served on our plates but once we sat down to eat, it was a complete shock seeing how thick and uncooked the meat was that it prompted me to write this review. All other meats we got (linguica, garlic steak, chicken with bacon) were great and matched the consistency of previous visits but the picanha yesterday was beyond horrible. I could have EASILY cooked and prepared a better serving. I really hope the manager(s) of this location read this review and fix the horrendous picanha that was undercooked, too thick, and extremely tough. The pricing also seems to have shot up which makes it even more of a shame that such massive chunks/slabs of meat were served - almost as if it's a tactic to increase the price customers pay for a subpar product. Pampas Grill, please get your act together so I can continue making the trek and feeding my family your food. read more

It's fine but overhyped for sure. The sauces aren't very good imo and the sides lack seasoning. Don't get the long lines tbh. The meat is good quality but lacked any flavor. Very confused about the long lines. I will say my plate looked GOOD so I was always intrigued but put off by the lines so very disappointing that it didn't taste as good as it looked. Also one of the guys serving the meats was annoyed when I asked about the different cuts. He said to look at the sign LOL thanks?? read more

*3.7 stars People were saying how this is the best spot in the farmers market so I had to try it myself. I came here mainly for the Picanha and it was pretty good, but not as amazing as I thought it would be. People were saying how its the best spot in the farmers market etc. The crust is nicely seasoned and crispy, but the meat just wasn't that tender. The whole plate I got was like $25 so it's not that expensive, but just wasn't that good.

Pampas Grill - Picanha (Sirloin Cap) - Brazilian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The meat is excellent but many of the side dishes are nothing to rave about and feel bad for the customers who "load up" their plates as if it were an "all you can eat" buffet. Additionally, they charge a service fee for using a credit card. When I asked the cashier, Carol, how much, she replied, "it is only a few cents" only to realize it was 50 cents on a $18.12 bill. Last I checked, a "few" is under 10 cents. In fact, AI says: A "few cents" is a literal reference to a very small, unspecified amount of money (usually 3 to 9 cents). read more

Picanha... You don't know how happy I am to see you again... Stopped by Pampas for a quick lunch while visiting Farmers Market. The line was long however it was totally worth the wait. The restaurant has buffet style setting where you go through the line and get what you want from the trays (except the meats) and pay at the end by weight (prices are different with or without meat). They have a great selection of salad and hot dishes, nevertheless the main stars are the meats: Off course my favorite is Picanha (similar to sirloin cap in US). The brazed outer layer splashed with melted rock salt and blended with the fatty part of the meat are a combination made in heaven. Just a side note: do not order too well done or the meat can be on the tougher side. Oh yeah, also get the cheese balls (pao de queijo), they are to die for (make sure to eat them while they are hot or warm). Great meal and reasonable price for what you get. read more

The picanha delivers what you expect from Pampas. Tender beef with good char and that signature garlic flavor. The fat cap renders properly and you taste why this cut built their reputation. But consistency varies depending on when they carved your portion. The garlic linguine works better than expected. Most 'buffet' pasta turns mushy, but this holds texture and the garlic doesn't overpower. Simple execution that complements the meat instead of competing with it. Pao de queijo stays crispy outside, chewy inside. These Brazilian cheese rolls are hard to mess up and Pampas does them right. Worth grabbing a few extra pieces. Service moves efficiently despite the constant lines. Staff knows you're paying by weight so they don't rush your meat selection. The carvers will explain cuts if you ask. No attitude, just focused on keeping things moving. That pay-by-weight system creates weird psychology though. You either under-order and feel ripped off or pile on too much and spend $40 on lunch. Finding the sweet spot takes practice, I guess. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Farmers Market location gives you prime people-watching while you eat. Tourist families, food bloggers taking photos, locals who've been coming for years. It's chaotic but entertaining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here because I saw a lot of reviews that this was a must try in the farmers market part of the Grove. There was quite a line that wrapped around the store, but it moved really quickly. You grab a tray like a cafeteria and you can get as much as you want and then at the end they weigh how much your plate is. I thought it got a little expensive fast, but the food quality was still good. I think the favorite thing we got were the plantains and I got a lot of different meat options. By the time I sat down I forgot which was what but they all tasted pretty good. read more

I saw so much hype of this Pampas Grill at the LA Farmers Market and I had to give it a try. I walked by and saw the massive line and it was overwhelming to see, but I decided to go for it regardless. There's definitely a reason for the line. I waited about 30-35 minutes which is a really long wait. It's kind of like cafeteria style where in the inside you get your sides on a plate or a to-go box and go around until you get to the meat section where the staff asks what kind of meat you want and they cut it in front of you. They are also all super friendly and helpful while serving you with plenty of patience. I ordered Garlic Chicken, Sirloin Cap, and Lamb Leg. I hoped the meat would be worth the super long wait, but wow. Each cut of meat was outstanding. Each piece just melts in your mouth especially the sirloin cap and the lamb leg. The garlic chicken was surprisingly more moist than it looks too. It was packed with flavor and the garlic in the name really deserves to be there. So juicy and tender. My only regret is not asking for more cuts of meat. I feel like some people pile their plates to the point of looking like a food mountain just so they make it worth waiting that long. I certainly get it. I can't lie, I usually don't like waiting 30+ minutes in line for food, but this is an exception. It's definitely worth the wait. read more

Pampas Grill - Garlic Chicken, Sirloin Cap, and Lamb Leg - Brazilian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Expect to stand in a line, grab a plate, and basically build your own plate. They will then weight your plate to determine the cost. Be aware that some meat may be salty unfortunately. My husband and I ended up pairing salty meat with other food on the plate to even out the saltiness. From the couple times we visited, the saltiness seems to be random. Some days their meat is salty while other days are well seasoned. Other than that saltiness factor, the food overall is good. Worth a visit. read more
