Born From the Fire, Built for Everyone
La Vaca has been bringing authentic Brazilian churrascaria to Southern California since 2005 — bold cuts, vibrant sides, and a plate built exactly the way you want it.
La Vaca Brazilian Grill | Our Story
Founded on Fire and Flavor
In 2005, La Vaca opened with a clear mission: bring authentic Brazilian churrascaria to Southern California. The star from day one — picanha, grilled to order and carved right before your eyes.
Carved to Order, Built Around You
Choose from picanha, garlic beef, Brazilian sausage, or chicken with bacon — ask for your preferred doneness right off the spit. Generous, personal, and priced by the pound.
More Than Just the Meat
The salad bar and hot counter round out every visit: feijoada, golden fried plantains, cheese bread, collard greens, and chicken stroganoff. Vegetarians are just as welcome at the table.
Four Locations, One Tradition
What started as one spot has grown to four Southern California locations — Glendale, Canoga Park, Century City, and Ontario. The food and the spirit behind it have never changed.
