The Ultimate Brazilian Steakhouse & Wine Destination

The Art of Rodízio in Vacaville and Elk Grove

A Heritage Reimagined In the heart of the Brazilian pampas, the Fogão—the traditional hearth—was more than a stove. It was the pulse of the home, a source of warmth where stories were shared and the finest meats were slow-roasted over open flames. At Fogão Gaúcho, we’ve brought that ancient spirit to Elk Grove and Vacaville, but we’ve elevated it for the way you live today. We believe that the rugged art of Churrasco deserves an atmosphere of grace. Here, the raw power of the fire meets the refined touch of white tablecloths and polished silver. The room breathed with the beautiful, soulful music our guests love—setting the perfect rhythm for an evening of connection. It is an intimate setting designed for the “Great People” of our community. Perfection is Hand-Picked For us, quality is a quiet obsession. We don’t just “order” ingredients; we source them with a chef’s eye for perfection.

The Churrasco Collection

Honoring the Flame and Every Prime Cut

An authentic Brazilian steakhouse begins with respect for the fire. The churrasco collection celebrates that craft through Prime cuts, including picanha, fraldinha, cordeiro, and costela. Open flames, sea salt, and practiced technique allow each cut to retain its own character. This is authentic churrasco shaped by Brazilian tradition and the hands of Gaúcho chefs. Explore the collection.

Everyone here is incredibly kind and attentive. The food was fantastic, the vegetables at the salad bar were seasoned well, and so was the meat. I love the grilled pineapple as well. I will absolutely be returning in the future!
