A new Brazilian steakhouse called Las Espadas is headed for East El Paso, with owners eyeing a summer 2026 opening. The concept will bring rodizio-style, tableside meat service alongside a full salad bar, a setup that breaks from the city’s more traditional steakhouse format. Word of the plan has already stirred up chatter on local social media as the site moves toward buildout.
According to KFOX14, Las Espadas rolled out an official Instagram account under the handle “lasespadasusa” and shared a promo image tagged “Almost Here.” The station reports that the brand is teasing “a daily taste of Brazil” and continuous carving service, though a firm opening date has not yet been announced.
Brand background
Las Espadas is a churrascaria brand with multiple locations across northern Mexico, built around rodizio dining, a salad buffet and a lineup of grilled cuts. The company’s official site highlights staples such as picanha, ribeye, feijoada and various desserts, per Las Espadas.
Where it will sit
The El Paso location is expected to land in the Gateway retail corridor east of I-10 near Exit 24/Geronimo Drive, a busy stretch of shops and chain restaurants that serves both local traffic and travelers. That corridor appears as active commercial property in mapping results and business listings, according to MapQuest.
What it could mean for diners
If Las Espadas hits its target timeline, it would bring a fresh rodizio option to El Paso’s dining scene and add another choice for groups chasing the tableside, all-you-can-eat experience. Coverage of the project has also flagged broader churrascaria interest in the area this year, suggesting the opening would track with a larger wave of Brazilian-style steakhouses expanding in Texas, KFOX14 reports…
