Espetus Churrascaria in San Mateo is a rodizio-style Brazilian steak house buffet restaurant. Their original location is in San Francisco and just last year, they opened up another restaurant in downtown San Mateo. We came here for the first time, although we have been to a similar rodizio-style restaurant in Southern California. Dinner prices at Espetus Churrascaria in San Mateo are $49.95 per person and I believe weekday lunch prices are about half because they also serve only half of the normal meat selection. Weekend lunches are around $29.95, but they include more meat variety than the weekday lunches.



The most memorable item of our evening at Espetus Churrascaria in San Mateo was their grilled pineapple...it's hard to believe how juicy it is because when they serve it on to your plate, it looks a little on the dry side! I also liked their bacon-wrapped chicken breast and filet mignon and my husband loved their chicken hearts, pork sausage and garlic steak. Other than that, we weren't too crazy about any of the other meats served at Espetus Churrascaria in San Mateo. As far as the salad bar, my favorite items were the feta cheese, kalamata olives, grilled veggies and mango salsa. I was not impressed with any of the food from their hot buffet, but I did like the large observation window behind it that looked into their grilling kitchen!

Roda Viva Churrascaria - Temecula, CA


Roda Viva Churrascaria
40820 Winchester Rd
Temecula, CA 92591
(909) 296-9858

DH and I stumbled upon this place when visiting Temecula...and what a great find! We went there for lunch and although at first we weren't sure about a mall restaurant, Roda Viva exceeded our expectations!

The service was outstanding and we really enjoyed sampling the different meats using the aforementioned red/green block of wood. Kind of reminded me of Bubba Gump's "Run, Forrest, Run!" concept. :)

Sure wish there was a Roda Viva in the Bay Area!
