Since 1999, we’ve brought the spirit of Brazilian churrasco to downtown San Diego. Enjoy the rhythm of rodízio with mesquite-charcoal-grilled meats carved right at your table.
A Churrasco Tradition
The Art of Churrasco Dining
At Rei Do Gado, the heart of our culinary experience is the traditional rodízio. Gaucho chefs circulate with skewers of freshly grilled meats, carving each selection directly onto your plate. From succulent Picanha to flavorful lamb and Brazilian sausage, each cut offers a taste of Brazil's churrasco heritage. Our meats are seasoned with coarse rock salt and grilled over mesquite charcoal, enhancing their natural flavors. Complementing this is our gourmet salad bar and an array of Brazilian specialties. Our dining room, refreshed and elegant, combines the warmth and energy of a traditional churrascaria. The glow of the fire, the aroma of mesquite, and the anticipation of the next cut create a dining experience like no other in San Diego.
A Feast Beyond the Steak
Our menu extends beyond steak. Discover authentic Brazilian dishes like fire-grilled queijo coalho and warm pão de queijo. Indulge in seafood, hot dishes, and homemade desserts.
