| - If you're into meat, COME HERE! Fogo is a meat lover's ideal version of heaven.
Came to Fogo on a Thursday for lunch with my parents. Every time we come to Vegas, Brazilian Steakhouses our on our must eat list because my dad is a hardcore meat lover.
From the moment we walked in, I noticed how busy it was for a weekday. This place clearly means business. We were greeted by a staff member who was incredibly kind, I wish I got his name! Promptly got us our drinks and off we went to the salad bar.
My mom and I decided to order the mini tasting which included unlimited access to the salad bar and also came with a few ounces of one meat of your choice which then was the deciding factor to how much extra was added to your meal. My dad got the whole damn experience of unlimited meats and salad bar.
The salad bar does not disappoint. There is a TON of food there already, with lots of options! You can get really full, really fast from just the yummy treats at the salad bar. There was even a hunk of meat here for those that wanted a taste.
My mom and I ended up choosing the house special meat - the picanha. Our meat server asked if we wanted half of our portion now and half later, so it wouldn't get cold. I appreciated this since you're supposed to get all of it in one go. This is more than enough food to be completely honest, and it comes at a very reasonable price. However, for those that really want to taste all the different meats, by all means go for it. My dad was enjoying every minute of it.
All in all, I dig this place. It's definitely not something I could eat everyday, but every once in a while it's delicious. The decor is simple yet elegant, and overall, the employees at Fogo are top-notch. Their personalities are incredibly welcoming, which makes the experience even better. However, I'm knocking down one star because my dad said that a few meats were good in taste, but just meh in texture (hard, rough to chew, etc.) Regardless, I see my family coming here for many years to come to indulge in that classic Brazilian-style meat.
