    You will not be disappointed!!. great meat cuts and salads for a very reasonable price. The downside is that it is always crowded since this is all you can eat meat at a very low price and the service sometimes is not as expected specially on special holidays ( do not visit on mother's day please!) So if you like meat and you don't mind crowd places go for it! you will not regret it.

    I went to eat today in the evening with my husband and I was excited to try this place out since I've heard good things about it. I'm not really a meat person so I wasn't too crazy about the different types of meats that the servers brought to our table and I don't know about Brazilian food so it's always good to try new places. The strawberry drink was amazing and delicious even though it was pricey (300 pesos for the jar) but I'm crazy about drinking good drinks so I didn't mind. The reason I give 2 stars is because when I went to the salad bar, there was a fly on the fruit. It was disgusting. Flies are very unsanitary and I expected better from an establishment like Pampas with good reviews. I even told a young lady who was standing there handing out gloves and plates about the fly I saw and she didn't even seem to care. I hope that the managers of Pampas read my review and keep up with the sanitation of the restaurant because it's just a turn off to go serve yourself from the salad bar and see a fly right there. I won't even go in to details about the bathroom but they also need to keep up with the cleaning of the ladies bathroom. Would I give Pampas another chance? Sure, why not? But I think I would try a different location and hopefully there are no flies at the other place.

    I visited this restaurant over a month ago with a group of 4. We walked in two hours before the restaurant closes. I had high hopes because of the great things I heard from friends and the reviews I read online; however, I regret going there. First, they offered us a few cuts only; we had to ask for specific cuts. Second, The meat quality was mediocre. The desserts were disappointing. Third, the parking lot next to Mr. Pampas "closes" at 11:00 p.m. We left the restaurant around 11:45. The parking lot employee said we could no longer leave with our car. He said we would have to come back and get the car tomorrow morning. He noticed we were tourists, and he clearly wanted some extra cash. We were supposed to pay $3 only. We kept asking him nicely to let us out and how we were visiting from the US. After 20 minutes of preventing us from leaving, we asked a local man who had just parked his car in the parking lot to help us get out. After 5 minutes of the two talking, the parking lot employee asked for $14. We are never going back there or recommending this restaurant. It is NOT worth crossing the border. I suggest you save time and money and visit a local steakhouse like Rei do Gado if you want high-quality meat cuts. The only positive thing I can say about the restaurant is the service was decent.

    This is an excellent choice of restaurant in Tijuana. Super salad bar. It’s on all you can eat buffet for 386 pesos per male, Little less for female and kids. This is a meat oriented restaurant although the salad bar is good enough for vegetarians and they get a special price. The dynamic of the restaurant is that while you’re sitting down in the table you have a Stop or Go Indicator, if you set the indicator to go you will be approached with different types of meat, you go ahead and decide which types of meat you want served or not. They have about 13 different types of Brazilian meat cuts, Including some chicken, turkey and sea food. Beverages are extra including alcoholic beverages and the Desserts. The price of the buffet changes across the day I’m not sure on the prices and usually you don’t need a reservation, I would only recommend it on a Saturday or Sunday because of high traffic. They have calm live guitar music as well as a few sports in different screens across the restaurant.

    Best buffet in Otay and Tijuana. “Gracias SI” or Gracias “No” is unique. Waiters will come to your table if you display “Gracias SI” and offer you different types of meats. Buffet bar include 4 types of salads, seafood, soups, corn dogs, pizza, desserts, and special desserts like flan can be ordered through your waiter. Alcohol bar has a huge selection of bands.

    Overall good food. Try to go at tines when it is not too busy or else you will wait a long time between cuts.

  • 5/5 Uziel C. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed visiting this place, it was my first time, they have a big bar of salads, many options to choose from, also a big variety of deserts, but the real deal is the meat, so many options too, the staff and so nice and welcoming, always ready to serve, and paying attention to whatever you may need. 100% recommend

  • 5/5 Angelica H. 11 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place! My last trip to Mexico I definitely wanted to try it and it was worth it! The food, the meat, great and friendly service, all is five stars!

  • 5/5 Mr S. 11 months ago on Google
    AMAZING! This place is one of a kind the food was on point but more importantly the customer service was excellent. The Manager Jairo was ensuring everyone got service and made sure we had the selection of food we needed. I will always come to this place when I’m in Tijuana. The shocker of the evening was they had a daycare in the restaurant so you can enjoy your meal while your kids are in a safe location moreover adults aren’t allowed in the daycare either.

    Great service and great food! I was a little surprised that the cost was the same as the restaurants in the US, but they really did have everything!

    Visited this restaurant with a couple of friends, though I'm not a big eater and not fun of all you can eat places, We decided to try it out anyway. I found the overall ambience pleasant, the place is clean, service is good, parking is plentiful. The restaurant Indeed has a Brazilian style service, servers go around tables offering different types of meats, sausages and even seafood, flavor varies based on the type of meat cuts one gets but overall is good, the salad bar is not big but plentiful, in the opposite side of the salad one can pick different types of fishes cutted in thin slices that are marinated and taste good and fresh, also they have soups and and other things for one eat. Prices are reasonable but it can increase if one get extras, such as sodas, alcohol or ice cream, but all in all is worth it. I recommend it.

  • 2/5 Brad G. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was good but I wouldn't recommend on taking your children there. Their prices are so expensive. My 2 daughters of 8 and 9 were the same price as me. Not Recommendable for young children that don't eat very much.

  • 4/5 Be R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of people, mind you, it's Christmas time. Loud music, TV's all around, conversations. My family liked the food. Me... Good prices, Lots of parking.

  • 4/5 Rene D. 1 year ago on Google
    Experience was good. I recommend that you ask about what comes with the buffet and what doesn't. We were charged for quite a few items which we thought were already priced with the buffet.

  • 5/5 Sylvia G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is absolutely fantastic! The best salad bar with everything. Service was spectacular with more than one waiter serving your table. I would most certainly be back again and again and again.

  • 5/5 Kely martinez F. 2 years ago on Google
    In short, a place where you can eat exquisite, a pleasant atmosphere, what is needed is a stomach in a @ to be able to taste everything, everything and everything prepared .. wow I really loved the paella and the nopal slices in cream, the cream shrimp 🤤

  • 4/5 Beatriz D. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros: Waiter & staff very attentive & helpful Salad bar was good, clean, well stocked Affordable Price ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cons: Music was loud, like you're in a club. We had to speak loud to each other. Not a variety of meats ⭐⭐⭐

👍 Delicious seafood, as always. The classic is the "Mazateña" taco, which is a sautéed shrimp quesadilla. Pulpo (octopus) tacos are also great. They do not sell alcohol and are a cash only place. They have restrooms and parking is on-street.

👍👍 Everything here was 5 plus stars . The service was top notch and the food even better. I know why this was my late father's favorite place. He would always talk about the chicken marsala plate. Thanks for keeping up the quality. Great job and I absolutely recommend!!!
