Fogo De Chao El Segundo

The El Segundo location is a very different vibe than the location on La Cienega. The dining room is very crowded. I mean packed. Like uncomfortably packed. When they employ outside dining, they leave the door open and it can get cold inside if you sit by the door. When the place is busy, maneuvering around the sides bar can be a challenge given the people and the children who don’t pay the most attention to surroundings. The food is okay. I did note the lack of premium cuts on rotation versus other locations and similar concepts. The chicken legs and sausage was much more frequent then the picanha or sirloin. It was clear that a thorough job is not done when turning tables. During our meal, i apologized to my daughter for what I thought was a errant kick. When she said I didn’t touch her, I looked under the table to find broken glass, utensils and a few napkins. If we were wearing open toed shoes, someone would have been cut and it couldn’t been bad. I spent over $450 on this experience for three adults and one kid, and to be honest, it was not worth it. It seems as if the restaurant was trying to push the cheaper proteins and don’t bother cleaning up the place between diners. It’s about butts in seats to make the most money per seat per night. I love Fogo and I really wanted this experience to be special, but walked away disappointed.

I’ve been there twice in the last 6 months and my table is always significantly ignored for the meat to come to my table. Also their meats are way too salty.

Went for Fogo bar event , food was great but felt like it wasn’t a planned event and it was thrown together. Also they had us in a corner where the the employees were and I did not feel the vibe this time in there . Drinks were pretty good I wish they had more of a variety and wish they did not stop bringing out food, I had to tell my server can they bring us out more food but the servers bringing out the food that we’re going around did a great job . I would honestly just wish the overall experience was better and planned instead of how it came out .

The service was excellent!! The food was very good, the salad bar is good, nice variety of selections to choose from. All of the servers were excellent especially Albert

The service was much slower than other fogos that we’ve been to. we ordered 3 items off the menu which were very slow to come out. Overall, everything was fine but not a good value for the cost.
