I think…read morethe best tasting thing was their Mac and cheese but it is runny and doesn't look like it would be good. The quesadillas were good too. The cheese they use is really creamy. We had a parillada. The chicken was good, the beef ok and the little ribs and tripas weren't very good. A couple people in our party order a dish off the menu (not part of the buffet) and they were not happy. The restaurant put very little meat in it and it was a waste of money. I left feeling full but disappointed with my dinner for the most part. The service seemed ok. Overall I'd eat here again if invited. I've actually eaten here twice. It wouldn't be my first choice for steak in Mexicali though.

Brazilian Steakhouse Fact: One cut of meat is more traditional at Brazilian steakhouses than others…read more- The picanha. This cut of meat is called Picanha, and it comes from the top part of a cow's rump. You may recognize it from your grocery store, as it's also sometimes referred to as the sirloin cap. ― thedailymeal.com What a great Brazillian BBQ spot. With over 20-years of experience, they do things well...done. Keep in mind, Mexico is a place that likes their meat well-done, which makes an American tourist, like me, sad. I'm not dinging them on that as it's part of the culture. They do have salsa and sauces for you to dip the meat. The meat selection is great, the staff is so nice and accommodating (one even speaking some English after hearing some of us speaking English), and there's some really great cuts of meat. My biggest complaint isn't the cook on the meat but the smoky dining room. My throat and eyes were absolutely burning afterward.

Those in the kitchen deserve a great review, BUT since this Yelp is intended as a review for a…read morebusiness overall, I've got to give them a one star. I'd give them a zero or negative if I could, but unfortunately that's not possible. Reasons for the one star: After we've finished our dinner, a young man came to take payment. I gave him my card and he continued to charge the card. After the screen went to the "tip" section, the kid took off, and returned demanding payment. I suppose he mistook me for being an American for an easy con. Fortunately the missus father is a banker from Mexicali and he questioned him. He said that he canceled the transaction and they he needed to take it again. He was then demanded to show the cancellation receipt that would have Ben printed out, but the kid said that no receipt was printed. He called his manager and we sorted things out. I'll still have to follow up with my bank to verify that no extra charges were placed on my card. Definitely a shame because the food was quite good.

Mr Pampas is a great time for any meat lover. They have a huge selection of meats that they will…read moreprepare at your request. That is not something I realized at the time but I found later. There is also a large food bar with MANY options. I do recommend brushing up on your espanol though, it'll make the experience mucho mejor. Another cool thing is that the have a waitresses with different alcohol beverages (at additional costs). Also there was a decrease in price after a certain time but I'm not sure if this is a normal special. Now to the comparisons, the meats are cooked medium from what I could tell. Some Brazilian steak houses tend towards the medium rare side but not Pampas although you could probably ask. All the meats felt a little more fatty than some of the other steakhouses I've been to, not saying they don't have those better cuts of meat but I also never asked for them so I was eating based on requests from the other table. The food buffet was quite good and honestly I would've enjoyed eating more of the buffet if I wasn't focused on the meats. They brought out a pitcher of sangria that was really good. Overall I had a really good experience. It's comparable to a good Brazilian steakhouse and the price is really affordable. The ambiance is nice, the servers are all polite and friendly. Some of the guys serving the meats seemed a little ready to get off work but overall I had a great time. Worth checking out if you're visiting Mexicali!

This is comparing the Sizzler to other chain restaurants of its type. You come in to the Sizzler to…read moresee giant menus on the wall. It's pretty safe because all Sizzlers have pretty much the same food-though quality and cleanliness can vary greatly. I took a quick walk around to get photos and assess the cleanliness and while there was some food spillage from customers being sloppy, the place looked very clean and the customers looked happy. Good sign. We were getting hangry from working and not getting lunch so we wanted dinner with no surprises. Sizzler was recommended and we thought we'd give it a try. Beatriz took our order and gave use side options. She was very professional and friendly despite being fairly busy. We got our tray and made our way to a nice booth. The restaurant is fairly large and was full. The place is open with nice wooden tables, soft seating and beams giving it a warm and comfy feel. Juan was our server in our area. He brought us two warm rolls that were really good. It came with honey butter but since the bread had a hint of natural sweetness we preferred it with regular butter. Juan was great, friendly and really took care of business. He cleared dirty dishes and immediately brought new ones for your next trip to the salad bar. Our entrees were brought hot to the table. They were a sirloin steak (6 oz) with baked potato and Burgundy Mushroom sirloin tips with rice pilaf. There was also a baked potato for the side because we forgot about the rice pilaf. The meals were large enough and came with salad bar. The salad bar had fresh lettuce and prepared salads as well as 3 soups, a taco/nacho bar, hot wings, fried wings, as well as a dessert bar. That really is a meal in itself. I had the spinach cranberry salad which had good flavor and I doctored it with chopped egg and sunflower seeds and crab (surimi) salad on the side. The chicken wings were quite good and the hot wing was not real hot to appeal to many. That's all we could fit in from the salad bar. Our entrees were quite good as well. The steak had good grill marks, was peppery, quite tender for a sirloin and a perfect medium rare. The sirloin tips were on a skewer, also had grill marks and were tender. The burgundy sauce was a bit sweet for us but not bad when mixed with a bite of meat and rice pilaf. The rice pilaf was pretty good as well. We ended up taking home most of the sirloin tips, rice, a roll and a baked potato. Our meals came to just over $30. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Sizzler. It is not a fine dining establishment but you get good food, good quantity, prices are good and the service was excellent.

While the food is consistently being replenished, I feel there could be more variety overall. Another downside is that the buffet is only available on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes it hard for me to come consistently. Lastly, the price is a bit high for the size of the selection. I assume the cost is driven by the seafood options, which are good, but it still feels overpriced for what's offered.
