    Everyone was very attentive and we were able to get a lot of meat in a short amount of time. I definitely take into account that we did an early dinner on a Thursday but I still commend them for staying on top of all their customers. Good food and beverages, the price makes sense considering the quality/attention to everything.

    One of the best Brazilian churrasco style steakhouses in San Diego and the country! The service is impeccable and the meats are always amazing as is the salad bar. My favorites are the picanha, garlic picanha, ribeye, and the Brazilian garlic bread which you must try. The best touch is that their after dinner mints are Andes Creme de Menthe thins. Very classy!

    We had a great meal here last night for my Dad’s 75 birthday. Everything we ate was very tasty, the meat was tender and seasoned perfectly. And it was abundant! Which leads me to say, a real highlight of the night was the waitstaff. Everyone from the host to each server we encountered were so friendly and knowledgeable. And they did not hold back returning with more options once our cards were green. We really had a great time! I definitely recommend!

    In my opinion, Galpao Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse is the best Brazilian steakhouse in San Diego. Tonight was my first time dining here. Celebrated my dad’s Birthday. Customer service was excellent! Salad bar had many options including shrimp salad, chicken soup, meats & cheeses. Meats were tender and flavorful. If you prefer your meats medium well/well, just let your server know. I like that they had seafood options grilled shrimp/salmon. You have to try their grilled cheese drizzled with honey….so good! Grilled pineapple is always good. Will be coming back.

    Food and service were both excellent. They Started with House Special Pincanha, which was my favoriate, but they were all excellent. The Rib Eye, the Lamb Loin Chops, the Gold Steak…all fabulous and they gifted me a Molten Chocolate Cake as it was my Birthday. Will definitely be back.

    Incredible service. The food was superb. Some of the best meats we have ever tasted. The salad bar is a meal in itself, with the best chicken soup I have ever enjoyed. Restaurant is highly recommended for both the food and the experience. We were particularly impressed by how fresh the food is...we will be back!
