Does Fogo de Chao Albuquerque serve real Wagyu?

Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 9, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.

What kind of Wagyu does Fogo de Chao Albuquerque serve?

Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.

Why is Fogo de Chao Albuquerque listed without a Wagyu badge?

Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.

Why it's listed

Fogo de Chao's Albuquerque churrascaria at 6600 Menaul Blvd offers two Wagyu steaks in a "Share an Indulgent Cut" section sized to share at the table for four or more: a 20oz Wagyu NY Strip at $170 and a 24oz Wagyu Ancho Ribeye at $180. Both cuts are also sold raw and packaged to cook at home for $150 through the restaurant's to-go ordering. The menu describes each as "premium graded," without naming a country of origin, a breed program or a producer.

Authenticity flags

The menu describes both Wagyu cuts only as "premium graded," which is not a recognized beef grade. No country of origin, breed program or producer is named for either steak.
