O Verdadeiro Rodízio
Sixteen fire-grilled cuts carved at your table, endless sides and a warm Brazilian welcome. From the crackle of the embers to the first bite of picanha — every visit is a feast.
Where the Fire Meets the Meat
Apaloosa's began with a simple promise: honour the art of Brazilian churrasco. In the heart of São João da Boa Vista, we roast the finest cuts over glowing embers, season by hand, and carve them at your table — the way it has been done for generations.
Our gaucho-style rodízio brings together sixteen carefully selected cuts, a generous hot side and a fresh cold buffet. Every skewer is a slow, patient ritual of fire, smoke and smoke-kissed flavour — served until you say stop.
Every cut is seasoned by hand and roasted over glowing embers — the way Brazilian churrasco has been done for generations.

What our guests say
“The rodízio completo is outstanding. The picanha ao alho arrives at your table hot and perfectly seasoned, and the passadores never let your plate go empty. Best churrascaria in the region.”
“Authentic gaucho-style service. Great variety of cuts, the cupim was tender like butter and the cold buffet is generous. The staff make you feel like family from the moment you sit down.”
“Delicious churrasco with excellent value. The weekend rodízio is a feast — come hungry! The service is attentive and the house pão de alho is a must.”
“We celebrated a family birthday here and it was perfect. The meats kept coming, everything fresh off the fire, and the kids loved the dessert table. We'll definitely be back.”
“The best mini rodízio I've tried. Quick service even on a Saturday night, the fraldinha was juicy and the batata frita crispy. Fair prices for the quality.”
“Great atmosphere and wonderful meat. I recommend the picanha de cordeiro and the banana da terra. Parking nearby and easy reservations on WhatsApp.”
