Brazil by the Bay

The food here is the best. Authentic Brazilian food. You won't be dissapointed, no matter what you order off the menu. There is a Brazilian market next door as well. In today's market, the food is priced very well and the service is excellent. The Xingu Beer taste so good!

What a seriously cool little place tucked away in San Diego! I have a friend online from Santa Catarina, a state in southern Brazil, that wanted me to try some Coxinhas. The more I get to know my friend the more fascinated I am by Brazilian culture. Southern California has a lot of Hispanic culture here but you don't see too much Brazilian culture here. But what do you know I stumbled across this place while looking for a place to try Coxinhas, a popular Brazilian street food, and I found this place and wanted to try it out! The people inside were super friendly and hospitable! The food I tried was very tasty, and it was cool seeing other Brazilians going in and getting food too. After eating I went to the import shop attached to the cafe and bought a few things from 'em to try out. The gentleman running the shop was very friendly and recommended me some very good things to try! The Pilao coffee is def worth a buy and I def notice the caffeine from it when I drink it, which I don't notice from typical prepackaged coffees you usually find at the grocery store. I hope I can visit Brazil one day, but at least we have a place like this here to get a little taste of Brazil here in Southern California! My Brazilian friend had a message to the people here at the shop, and it's in Portuguese so I will copy/paste it here! "Estou feliz em saber que meu amigo encontrou este local, eu fico falando para ele provar uma coxinha toda hora e finalmente ele encontrou um bom restaurante. Parabéns pelo sucesso e desejo a todos vocês um ótimo dia, obrigado por receber meu amigo e pela recepção que todo brasileiro se orgulha, um grande abraço e sucesso ah todos vocês."

Great find by the arena. We came on a day without anything going on at the arena and so the restaurant was fairly empty. Admittedly we also arrived 30 min before closing time and were still promptly seated. Good amount of outdoor patio seats. Ample parking in parking lot. Service was quick. Everything on menu was delicious. No words to describe other than go and enjoy.

If I wasn’t stationed somewhere else, I’d probably come here a lot. Food was amazing and the customer service was amazing as well. I saw the kindness of the lady that worked there. I definitely recommend coming in here. They have a store next door that sells some Brazilian stuff! We bought some Guarana & Pao De Queijo!!
