    Our Tradition

    A Taste of Southern Brazil

    Inspired by the gaúcho cattle herders — the tropeiros — who pioneered the open-fire churrasco tradition in the pampas of Brazil, we bring that same spirit, fire, and generosity to every table.

    Each cut is seasoned simply, grilled patiently, and carved by hand — the way it has been done for generations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Brazilian steakhouse rodizio?
    Rodizio is continuous table-side service. Carvers circle the dining room with skewers of fire-grilled meat and slice directly onto your plate until you turn your card to red. The gourmet bar of salads, sides and Brazilian dishes is included.
    Where is Tropeiro's Grill located?
    We have three locations: 1111 J Street in downtown Sacramento, California; 480 Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, Massachusetts; and 464 State Road in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
    Was Tropeiro's Grill Sacramento formerly Pampas?
    Yes. The Sacramento location on J Street was formerly Pampas Brazilian Grille and now operates as Tropeiro's Grill Brazilian Steakhouse.
    Do I need a reservation?
    Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings and around holidays. You can reserve online per location on our reservations page.
    What cuts of meat are served?
    The rotation typically includes picanha (top sirloin cap), filet mignon, bacon-wrapped filet, garlic steak, flank steak, beef ribs, lamb chops, leg of lamb, parmesan pork, linguica sausage and grilled chicken.
    Is there a vegetarian option?
    Yes. You can order the gourmet bar on its own, which includes seasonal salads, marinated and grilled vegetables, cheeses, rice, beans, polenta, pao de queijo and fried bananas.
    Are there gluten-free options?
    Most of the churrasco is naturally gluten free, because the meat is seasoned with coarse salt only. Pao de queijo is made with tapioca flour and farofa with cassava. Tell your server about an allergy and they will walk the gourmet bar with you.
    How much does the rodizio cost?
    Pricing is set per location and differs between lunch and dinner. Children are priced below the adult rate. Call the location you plan to visit for current pricing.
    Can you host large groups and private events?
    Yes. Private and semi-private dining is available for birthdays, rehearsal dinners, corporate dinners and holiday parties. Submit an inquiry through the private events page with your date and headcount.
    Do you offer catering?
    Yes. We cater the same fire-grilled meats and gourmet bar dishes we serve in the dining room. Catering is arranged per location through the catering request form.
    Can I buy a gift card or check a balance?
    Yes. Each location issues gift cards online, and balance lookups are available on the same page. Buy from the location your recipient plans to visit.
    Can I order online for pickup?
