Finding this place was challenging. It's not on the main boulevard but a few yards from the corner so you'll need GPS assistance to get to it with no issue. It's also a bit on the small side but I'm guessing it's tailor-made for outside dining so it has that aesthetic going for it. The woman behind the register taking orders was very courteous and very patient with me because this is the first Brazilian spot I went to that isn't a dedicated buffet. I ordered some food that came up to almost $30 and it sure did come up with a lot of food. Even the Empanadas were larger than usual so I guess you certainly get what you paid for. No complaints about the food whatsoever. The Grilled chicken I had was surprisingly juicy and tender. It even came with fries and a side salad, which caught me off guard because the menu didn't specify what sides it came with so I thought it was just the meat which prompted me to order some rice and beans on the side so I basically had an entree with 3 sides and 2 Empanadas. Despite the heavy amount of food I unwittingly ordered, all of it was great and it didn't feel like a chore eating it all. The service woman cleaned my table after I was done, asked how I liked my meal and even requested a dessert. I always give credit to service going an extra mile so this place definitely deserves a solid 5. read more

The coxinhas here are great. So why two stars? Because the employee here blatantly overcharged me & thought I wouldn't notice. I mentioned to him oh but the sign & online says this price but you say it's this price? He goes oh we have to change online ordering prices & the sign. That doesn't make any sense in the slightest bit needless to say. Anyways, I wish this place the best of luck & to do better than lie for no reason. I get it, business is tough but this isn't the way. read more

New York Pao De Queijo - Good but employees overcharge on purpose - Brazilian Near Me - Astoria, New York

The coxinha is pretty good. The other salgados are mid. I always order on Uber Eats and put a very clear note about the juice (suco de caju) being too watery the past times I've ordered and not enough sugar. Being I'm just craving things from Brasil I still ordered it in hopes they would fix it bc it's such a easy thing to fix but they did not it's the exact same so prob won't be ordering again. I'm like a loyal costumer too so just sucks when a lot of the Brazilian places just so clearly half ass things idk it ain't that hard to make suco de caju... I be spending money in this place I feel like it's the least they can do. read more

Good empanadas at a great price. Food - The Brahma beer was very cold and light, I don't recall seeing it anywhere before. The empanadas were good quality and inexpensive. Service - Our server was friendly and there is a counter to the street if you prefer not to sit down inside. Ambiance - The environment was hip and casual with Brazilian music. read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while after seeing a post about the Pao de queijo and finally was in the area today so grabbed some! Tiny spot with convenient window ordering. I got a bag of 6 for $7 and they were delicious and warm! Flavorful and rubbery but in a good way that just felt like a treat and a pastry filled with gooey cheese. Can't comment on the rest of the food but I'll definitely be back and recommend it! read more

New York Pao De Queijo - Patio - Brazilian Near Me - Astoria, New York

This restaurant is super cute and authentic! It's a restaurant but they have a window where you can order from outside if you are just taking it to go. It was a freezing day, but there is a protection over the window area to keep people warm. There was a man and a woman inside the kitchen. The man immediately came to the window as I walked up. I ordered the Pão de queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread. They had a deal of 7 for $5. He said they were currently baking them Alf it would take 5 minutes, and asked if I'd be willing to wait. He offered me to sit inside while I waited. Inside the restaurant was very welcoming. It's a small place, but it had a home-y feeling. The tables were wooden and there were a lot of plants around on the walls. My order came very quick, actually. I was expecting it to take much longer than it did. The cheese bread was a little small, but very delicious! I will definitely come back and maybe sit inside as well. read more

I had a taste for empanadas. Went there for the first time. They have a lot of great food options with seating. First off, I wasn't really certain what the establishment was at first from walking past on the opposite side of the street. It wasn't really clear, so I crossed the street the next time in passing. Ok so back to it. When I placed my order he asked if I wanted the traditional? I asked what other type you have and he explained. So I am curious and greedy and opted for the other. It was delicious. So upset I only ordered one because I am cautious when trying new things. I will go back this evening. I will tell you it is in the window top shelf. I order beef the taste was mouth watering. He was very patient with me and many questions. So he gets a ++ for that. read more

Great local spot. Was my first time trying casual Brazilian food so didn't know what to expect. I ordered: -cheese and beef empanada (7.5/10); these were good. The shells were crispy and had good flavor to them, but they were quite oily. -Brazilian cheese balls (9/10); exceeded my expectations, I really liked how the middle was chewy and mochi-like. they taste even better with the green sauce, but def can feel flavor fatigue after having a couple. -pineapple burger (8/10); solid burger, especially for $10. I liked the tartness of the pineapple against the beef and ham. -Brazilian sausage platter (7.5/10); the beans and rice were great. the sausage reminds me of a firmer, sweeter hotdog. the meat with the veggies and rice and sauce are really flavorful. -strawberry and condensed milk smoothie (8/10); this was solid, loved that there was a natural strawberry taste. It's a small place, just 3 tables. Parking was pretty easy on a weekday night. Bathroom could use a touch up read more

A filling, charming experience overall. Staff was nice, and there was indoor and outdoor seating available. Decent food, but not stellar-- I can't really put my finger on why, but it might be because my expectations were high going in. It is slightly pricier than what I feel like I got, and I would definitely check Seated or other apps to see if they're running a promo. The pao de queijo, their namesake, definitely lives up to its reputation being so fluffy and delicious with the sauce. On the other hand was the X Brazil burger, one of their more popular dishes, which was just not to my taste. read more

Ordered: X Banana (~$9): burger with banana (plantain), cheese, corn, potato sticks, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Guarana Soda (~$3) Aya's take: pleasantly surprising! Delicious burger with great textures and depth. The green mayo and chipotle sauces are a must! The Guarana soda ties it all together. Definitely recommend stopping by for a Brazilian burger! read more

Great local spot that you should hit up for some good sandwiches and delicious bread! Good takeout option Food: I ordered the de casa burger and the healthy chicken sandwich. The healthy chicken sandwich was not what I expected Bc I thought there would be a piece of grilled chicken, instead it was shreddedz. I didn't like the flavor of it overall and it was cold so I wouldn't get that! The de casa burger is the chicken burger and it was delicious - it had a great flavor and was very filling. The green Mayo that they give on the side is very creamy and good! The fries are so good! The bread basket was great- it came with 7 pieces of bread and they were so tiny and cute and filled with cheese! I am definitely going to return to try some of the other sandwiches Service: quick service despite being busy and friendly! Price: very reasonable - each sandwich is less than $15 and they give a heap of fries for $3. Super filling Covid safety: they have outdoor seating. The orders are taken and picked up outside. The staff wore masks read more

Just arrived in NYC and very hungry. Looked for a place that was quick to get a bite to eat. Stumbled upon this cute bakery that serves breakfast sandwiches and lunch. I ordered the Brazilian hot chocolate and breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich usually comes with eggs over easy but they were accommodating and willing to scramble my eggs. The Brazilian hot chocolate was delicious and wasn't sweet at all. It was made perfectly and I enjoyed it very much. read more

Cheap and delicious. The food is pretty solid. Got the picanha plate and pao . Juicy beef, rice and beans , fries and a salad. They have iCaipirinhas and sangria as well. Will definitely go back for a sandwich next. read more

Ordered delivery bc needed some last minute food options to bring family for the holidays (are part Brasílian). Amazing, Authentic, Iconic - this place slaps. Run here. The coxinha's and risole's are where it's at. Some of best have ever had. Everything here so far has been godsend. read more

Came in here for their hamburger (X-Goiania) with pineapple and had such a great experience!! It's unique, tastes great and the service is fast. It's a no frill kinda place so you just have to order and take it to go because there's only a couple tables. Definitely coming back for more! read more

I ordered a Brazilian hot dog. I guess I was expecting something similar to a Colombian style hot dog, but what I received were cheap quality sliced hot dogs with canned tomato sauce, canned corn?? And what I assume to be some random soggy potato sticks on some dry bread. Looks can be deceiving so I did take one bite and I regretted it. I threw it away, it's probably the most disgusting thing I've had... seriously who even uses cheap store bought hot dogs. I'm completely shocked that this item made it on a restaurant menu... Also I've been here years ago to try their cheese bread and it wasn't that good. Still better than the hot dog but no where near the best I've had. Yelp has completely failed me this time. read more

I am so happy I found an authentic Brazilian cafe in the neighborhood. It's a cozy little spot tucked away in a street corner, but boy do they make some delicious empanadas. I got the potato/chicken/cheese empanada and I was wary that it would be dry, but it turned out so flavorful and juicy. I also love the green sauce they provided, I literally drizzled it on everything. Best of all, this spot is super affordable. read more

I've come here quite a few times, and first time I'm leaving a review. They charge $1.25 for credit card use. All of the burgers/sandwiches have been delicious and are fairly similar to each other when it comes to the main ingredients (beef, lettuce, potato sticks, corn) - for example, the X Brazil ($16.50) and the X tudo are go-tos. If you dine in, they have green mayo in a bottle that you are going to want on your burger - so good. It's $0.50 extra if you want takeout, which I still opted for and they gave me 2 as a nice surprise. I've also gotten their mini pao de queijo ($4 for 7 pieces) which is usually not served warm, so I'd take it home and heat it up yourself in a toasted oven. I also have gotten the coxinha (potato, cheese, chicken) and yuca croquette with chicken - both were good, and the chicken was nicely juicy; both are $4 each. The yuca croquette did get a bit nauseating after a few bites because it was a bit too rich with the cheese and the fried yuca. read more

Been comin here for years. True neighborhood gem. Fire food fire staff fire value. Cozy as hell. 10/10

Flan with chocolate cake - flan was delicious but had to eat it separately from the cake which was too dense and sweet for me. I liked the Yuka beef -it was crunchy outside but with the soft yuka around the beef. the filling did not hold together though and kept falling out. Coxinha de frango c/ catupiry was ok, as well as the rest of our order. I was not ok though that I was asked to swipe my card for payment before even being shown the bill. Then I noted that the tip (later calculated and tip was 17% of food total) was added onto the bill already, even for our additional to-go order. read more

Needed a cheap quick snack on a late Saturday afternoon. There was an extensive menu and an outdoor counter to place your to go orders. It was a little annoying that the menu didn't have any prices listed next to it and that you have to look at the online menu for the price or ask the cashier. Decided to get an empanada and a smoothie to complement the sunny weather outside. The empanada selection wasn't very extensive but they had meat and vegetarian options. The empanada itself came piping hot (be careful of the oil that will drip out!)..the crust was flaky and not super oily. The filling itself felt a bit sparse and kind of bland. Kind of tasted like some sauteed ground beef inserted in puff pastry. I got the verano smoothie which had coconut and pineapple. The portion size was generous, and I liked that the drink didn't taste like it had a ton of added sugar. The subtle sweetness was very much appreciated. While I wasn't particularly blown away by the empanada, for the price point this wasn't a terrible place to stop for a quick snack. read more

The pao de queijo is pretty bomb. Really liked the PF stroganoff a lot! The picanha and carne were flavorful but a bit overcooked. The empanadas are also really good with tasty filling.
