Why go
Skewers, then the grill again. Latina serves churrasco: meat and seafood on large skewers, carried through the room and carved at the table, with the skewers going back to the grill to char the freshly cut part. The group opened its first Shanghai house in 1998, in the Jinjiang Hotel on Maoming Road, and Nomfluence calls that one of the first Western restaurants in the city. The Tongren Road house, on the second floor of No. 88, is the group's largest, according to the same 2023 article. City News Service counted 11 Latina locations in Shanghai and five elsewhere in China in July 2024. Churrascarias are usually rodizio, all you can eat, and Latina offers it at brunch, lunch and dinner.

02The beef
Mostly Uruguay and Argentina, with some Australia, per Nomfluence in 2023. City News Service lists Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia and the United States in 2024. The 2023 count: 16 beef cuts, 3 of lamb, 3 of chicken, 4 of pork and 5 kinds of seafood, plus whole lamb legs and beef tongue. Latina buys meat in bulk, which Nomfluence says lowers the price of premium products. No source gives breed, grade or aging.
03The fire
Large skewers, carved at the table and returned to the grill. The skewers go back to the fire to char each fresh cut for the next guest. No source names the fuel of the rodizio grills. Latina Parrilla, a separate concept from the same group, cooks grass-fed beef on a wood-fired grill in the gaucho manner.
04The story
Jun Taichi, a second-generation Japanese restaurateur born and raised in Brazil, opened the first Latina in 1998, in the Jinjiang Hotel on Maoming Road. City News Service says his father opened a Brazilian steakhouse in Tokyo in 1990 and that Taichi began working there at 14; Nomfluence credits Taichi himself with a Tokyo opening that year, so the sources differ on who. At the start he bought beef from a Sino-German joint venture near Beijing, because textured red meat was unfamiliar to most Chinese diners. In June 2023 the Lujiazui branch won Dianping's Must Eat award.
