Their esfiha are large size and all the ingredients are so delicious. My favorite is the ground meat but there are many options. Just make sure you understand the size options because they can big large as a pizza. Oh and is so fresh. Made to order. They also have yummy authentic desserts.

Staying in Atibaia on business there aren't many options for a quick dinner after work. After…read morebeing led around on a wild goose chase by Google maps we finally found this place about 1/2 KM from the Faro hotel where we are staying. I think they are trying to look like an American-style hamburger joint with the servers wearing paper hats and butcher paper covering the tables. There are kitschy street signs and English sayings like "don't spit on the floor" hanging on the walls. Barely functioning AC was welcome on a hot summer evening. There are plenty of tables, especially up on a mezzanine area that they must open during busy times or for parties. They basically have hamburgers and fries as you would expect, as well as some unusual (for the area at least) beers like budweiser and brahma. Blended fruit drinks seemed to be popular with the other patrons and looked pretty good. I Opted for a couple of Pepsis on ice ($5/can) because I was really thirsty after walking all over town. The friendly older gentleman waiting tables recommended two specialties; Costilla (beef rib) and picanha (sirloin cap) burgers. I opted for the picanha burger and was not disappointed. The Burger was a lot better than what you would get at an American burger joint, and at about $11 it was a great value. Sautéed red onions on top and a nicely toasted fresh bun completed the dish nicely. The limp fried potato wedges were kind of meh and I couldn't quite place what was in the bland green sauce that accompanied them. I have already made a mental note to myself to pack some hot sauce next time I come to Brazil. Service was fast and friendly. When you're ready to leave, bring the little wooden slab with your table number up to the register and pay. Walking back to our hotel we realized it was indeed really close and definitely within walking distance.
