I've been to San Diego on business a couple of times in the last few years. The first time I had been working on a Sunday and Rei Do Gado was one of the few places open near my hotel that night. I was lucky enough to get a chance to go back last week. The food here is unpretentious yet truly excellent - even down to the salad bar. In fact, they could probably be very successful on the strength of the salad bar alone.

Go hungry and go 'green' (you'll understand that last part when you try it).

I agree with the ealier reviews; the food is great.
I don't agree with the meal prices shown. Expect to spend $50 for dinner alone, then add more for dinner, parking, etc.

GREAT food and good friendly service. Definitely a meat-lovers dream. Not cheap but worth every penny.

Clean, tasteful, good service and the food was very, very good. This is an all you can eat grilled meat restaurant in the Brazilian style. Start with a tremendously varied and interesting salad bar with many South American items not usually seen here in the States. After that, the waiters come around with skewers of various types of meats and offer them to the table, carving the larger pieces right there at the table. The strip steak and sirloin were the best. Skip the chicken and pork. The Brazilian sausages were spicy and tasty!! The waiters keep the meat coming throughout the meal until you say "when"! Great desserts with a tropical flair finish out the meal. During the meal, a Carnivale costumed woman went dancing throughout the restaurant, occasionally enticing a patron to dance briefly with her. I know it sounds cheesey, but it was really a lot of fun. There were families there and it was all PG. Go there hungry! About $50 for dinner, drink and dessert. A fun and adventurous experience.
