Reviews
The paos, while chewy, were quite eggy in their taste. I found it ambiguous in flavor. I wanted to love them, but it wasn’t working as well. The same went with the empanadas. They were flaky on the outside but lacked a nice flavor profile on the inside. When the burrito finally came out I dug in. The hot sauce really amplified things until I felt weirded out. I spat out a piece of meat. It turned out either the restaurant forgot to mention there was sausage in the meal, or the person preparing the meal decided to sub the bacon with sausage. They were nice enough to switch it out to a vegetarian version for no charge, but in the time and age and in this part of the world, one cannot afford to be this lackadaisical about food substitutions.
The place is charming and bright and is definitely a magnet for more hangouts.
We brought my nieces along and really appreciated the expansive, completely separate kids menu — they love açaí bowls so that was a big win. Everyone seemed happy with their food too — we tried empanadas, cheese balls, a shrimp bowl, breakfast burrito, omelet, etc., and everything got positive reviews.
I ordered the Floripa sandwich after an employee recommendation. Flavor was good, but honestly the portion was disappointing — the patty was basically slider-sized and noticeably smaller than the bun, so it didn’t feel very filling. Fries portion was on the smaller side too. After reading some other reviews, it seems like others have had similar feedback on sandwich portions, so hopefully that’s something they consider improving.
That said, great beer selection (they even had Pliny the Younger on tap recently, so you know they take craft beer seriously). Lots of cans/bottles available to drink there or take home. Ambiance was nice, family-friendly, and I noticed a few people working on laptops — seems like a solid casual hang/work spot too.
We’ll be back — just maybe not for a sandwich.
Steak Sandwich – Delicious steak and side salad, however portion was on smaller side. Side salad dressing was superb.
Fried Chicken Bowl – This bowl had veggies, avocado, crispy fried chicken, rice or spring mix, and feta. This bowl was amazing mixed up with a dash of their homemade hot sauce.
Overall, prices are on the higher side – but that’s expected for the Bay Area and what tasted like quality food. A great spot if you’re looking for a healthy and quick lunch!
When you arrive you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We ordered the pizza pastel, yucca fries, a coconut based shrimp stew dish, feijoada, Guarana, and a smoothie which came to about $90 after tip.
The pizza pastel was good flavor wise but not a pastel and more like an empanada, the yucca fries were also good. However, our main dishes lacked flavor, which was a surprise as I’ve always had such flavorful dishes at every Brazilian restaurant I’ve been to. The feijoada was the worst I’ve had ever! It was vegetarian which I didn’t order to begin with. There was no flavor, the rice was bland, and the yucca flour was also bland and lacked any flavor.
Minus the girl at the counter who took our order, the service we received was fine. Sadly, I don’t think I will be returning to this place and will stick with my go-to tried and true Brazilian restaurant in the Bay Area that never fails.
