This Brazilian Food Stand is a hidden gem located in the Hungry Pearl Food Mall/Establishment in…read morethe Financial District. The location is centrally nested around many downtown landmarks such as the Staten Island ferry, Ferry to statue of Liberty and Ellis Island , Wall Street and South St. Seaport now known as Piet 17. The best way to this location is taking the NYC subway via 4 or 5 train to Bowling Green Station. Then walk about 5 minutes to this food hall. I had the Chickoen Coxinha which is the most traditional Brazilian filling. This stall has seven different fillings to choose from. It was the small size which came with 6 pieces of these fried balls with minced chicken & potato inside. It was my first time trying coxinha. It tastes like a crunchy mini fried mashed potato with deliciously seasoned boneless chicken inside. It's crispy outside and flavorful w/ soft texture inside. It's the perfect combination. For my drink I ordered a Brazilian canned soda. The taste is similar to the Japanese Soda in a glass bottle with a marble in it. After I received my entree, I ordered my dessert which were the mini churros which were perfectly sweet. My order was freshly fried and came hot. Service was efficient, friendly and staff was knowledgeable. I definitely recommend trying this little Brazilian food stall. Highly recommend it if you want to try something different and unique. I definitely will be back for more!

And even with my delivery order, the ingredients were great. The catch of the day fish was definitely fresh; the "tiger milk" marinade was packed full of citrus and spice; and the sweet potato side was a great contrast, almost soothing alongside the spicy ceviche. And the spicy sauce on the side is in fact spicy. Don't underestimate the punch that it packs, add it to your bowl with care. The corn left a little to be desired, but the dish overall was still excellent!

I ordered the carne asada and I did not expect it to look like it was flattened before grilling. I think the price didnt meet the expectation. Of course, each place has their own rendition of dishes, but this was not what anyone would expect for a carne asada entree. The service was good, nothing over the top and nothing underwhelming. I will say that I would probably stop by for a quick drink because the vibes were right. Cute Mexican theme with smaller tables for chill vibes and small conversations. I would say it would be great for a party of 1-4. The carne asada needs work, but the soup was delicious and great for the NYC winter :)

On my most recent visit I ordered takeout: the slow-roasted mojo pork, oxtail stew, sweet plantains, and beef empanadas. Everything was packed with flavor and deeply satisfying. The mojo pork was tender, juicy, and bright with citrus and garlic. The oxtail stew was hearty and fall-apart tender with a rich, slow-cooked depth. Sweet plantains added the perfect caramelized sweetness, and the beef empanadas were a great crispy bite to round out the meal. Pro tip: Don't skip the green sauce. It's fantastic and somehow makes everything taste even better. Service is consistently polite and quick, making the whole experience smooth and easy from ordering to pickup.

A nice palette cleanser - Beef Mulitas, (4/5): tasted similar to the toast, but not as satisfying (I think the toast adds more oomph) - Consommé Con Beef Birria Dumplings, (3/5): the consommé was actually pretty good but quite oily. because these were beef, it was the same beef but in dumpling skin and it was veeeeryy heavy. couldn't eat more than 1 dumpling, but I would reuse the consommé Great late night meal, and I would 100% get this again as a cheat meal

We got 2 chicken empanadas as an appetizer and those were the highlight. A table next to us bought everyone a round of shots and when I tell you they were the most bottom level well tequila disgusting shots I've ever had. I'm a career bartender and I gagged and spit the shot out instantly. Gross. Furthermore dancing inside was such a fun time however there was a group of clearly underaged girls in there mingling with adults trying to charm and trick people into buying them shots. One of the little girls got aggressive with me when I said NO and wouldn't drop it. They need to do better these girls were obviously underaged..... I wouldn't eat here again, I would only stop back inside to dance to reggaeton and Perreo while bar hopping on Stone Street tbh
