Agora Churrascaria is a Brazilian Steak House in the "Rodizio" style, where waiters, dressed as Gauchos (local ranchers from the South), move from table to table carrying skewers of meat, from which they slice portions for their guests. Agora serves 12 different cuts of meat, including beef, pork, lamb and chicken. The restaurant prepares each cut as it has been for centuries: seasoned with rock salt to accent the individual tastes of each cut, and slow-roasted over an open flame. Upon being seated, every guest is given a green and red-sided circular chip to control their fixed price, continuous tableside service. The green side signals the Gaucho to "bring it on," while the red side stops the service. For additional servings, guests simply flip the indicator back to the green side. In addition to the succulent meat selections, Agora offers an outstanding hot and cold salad bar, comprised of Brazilian and seafood specialties as well as a variety of tempting side dishes.

Hot Food, Hot Servers

The only thing yummier than the assorted meats and buffet dishes at Agora are their CUTE Brazilian servers ("gauchos")! I’m sort of afraid to dine there for fear that I may blush and giddily giggle myself to death, but I digress….

Why Agora is awesome:

1. DELICIOUS variety of meats galore! My favorite is the top sirloin “cap” ("picanha"). If I could, I would just grab the entire skewer and eat it casually like a giant shish kabob. My other faves are the bacon-wrapped chicken and skirt steak….tender and juicy!
2. The salad bar is good, but I usually stick with the fresh salsa and onion slices to accent my plate ‘o’ meat.
3. The hot buffet offers a great smorgasbord of goodies, too. My faves are the beans, rice, and the thinly chopped strips of sauteed collard greens! Mussels in marinara sauce and scalloped potaters are pretty good, too.

Great food and Service. Everytime we go we get amazing service. The manager always comes around and checks on you. Best part is that it is all you can eat and its a steakhouse.

Very classy environment with great service. Nice variety of starters at the salad bar including smoked salmon and sliced tomatos with basil and mozzarella cheese. The selections of meat were quite delicious, full of flavor, yet we found it to be a touch on the dry side. Dunno if I’d go back. Expensive! For the price, I think I prefer Greenfields in West Covina. Cheers!
