LOL, I second that.....

I know you were, just couldn't figure out whether it was on the food or the people who like this place, that's all. And yes opinions are like a$holes, some just bigger than others....opinions that is..

Wow, Beef Jerky? From people on both sides of the border I've talked to they all seem to enjoy it. I guess I go for the feel and experience of the place and imagine myself being a Brazilian in the outdoors grilling meats and having the meats on skewers coming by. Of course I wouldn't be worried about it being rare, medium, well etc.... It's a fun atmosphere. I guess you could always ask them to cut a raw piece of meat from the skewer specifically for you and have it done to order, but that would take the experience out of it. Here's a review I found on the following site: Iexplore

"Hands up to the quality, buffet, and service offered by Pampas do Brasil. I am a Brazilian and it truly reflects the real deal of the well known Brazilian barbecue. The taste of the meat is better than the Brazilian restaurants in San Diego. I highly recommend a visit to Tijuana to taste the real Brazilian barbecue. Way to go, Tijuana!!"

That site also reviews other locations here in Tijuana, It's pretty cool.

Ok folks, did go and try this place out. It was still open. I went during day hours so a little slow about 4 other groups of 2. Music in background was quiet not too loud for those bothered by loud music. Chips and salsa are excellent, the food was good, I had the Baja Salmon plate my Wife had the arrachera plate (waiter recommended it). Not the best by certainly not the worst. Portions were descent not too big so you don't feel that bloated and or leaves you more room for the beer which leads me to the beer. Well first let me say with all I had read here I didn't know what to expect so I went with open mind. Im a fan of microbrewed beer, when I lived in Seattle I enjoyed full sail beer. I've also liked the Bj's in OC and Alcatraz block of orange, I also enjoyed the beers of squatters pub and brew and wasatch brew and pub both of Salt lake city, also fat tire and so on...Well at Tijuana brew they had six choices:

1. Light - Lager type beer it was ok.
2. Bronca - Unfiltered beer. It was also descent.
3. Brava - I beleive its the filtered version of the above.
4. Guerra - Or blonde, this one was good, my girl enjoyed this one the best.
5. Morena - Dark beer, excellent in my amateur experiance, I really enjoyed this. Similar to bohemia obscura.
6. Bufadora - Newest one (according to waiter) This one was a Pale Ale type of beer. Also an excellent brew, similar to Sierra Nevada. The higher hopps flavor is an acquired taste and I don't see many Mexicans liking this, but it's great.

So to recap my personal preference was Morena, Bufadora, Guerra, Bronca, Brava and light. In that order. We enjoyed the beer enough to buy two growlers one with guerra and the other morena. I'll try to attach some pics here. The growlers were $300pesos with beer each, $70pesos to fill again. Also there is no parking you have to park on the street, of which there's alot of space on the front. Oh and on Th, Fri, & Sat eve's they have live band, and upstairs they have karaoke according to waiter.

P.S. I can't seem to upload any pic's. hmmmm..........

Gonna go try this out today see if its still open. I love beer and beer loves me. I'll report back later.

Cheers
