I came back to Taco to buy a few t-shirts and a pair of shorts and I was in and out in no time,…read morethanks to the helpful salesman, Rodrigo. He helped me find the right sizes and showed me different styles; I tried on all the items (they let you try on even the t-shirts), paid and was finished. I highly recommend this shop for your casual clothing needs--it is well-stocked and their prices are low.

My first time back here since the COVID-19 situation. This shopping mall has taken many…read moreprecautions to adjust to the current norms: they have temperature checks at all the mall entrances; there are many hand sanitizer stations throughout the mall; the escalators are all marked so that shoppers should use only every fourth step; the food court has installed plastic shields between all the tables and at and around all the food stands; all of the stores are posted with the maximum number of clients that are permitted in at the same time. The number of patrons seems much less than it used to be, but it is very nice to be able to go to the mall and pretend to be normal again.

Please see my previous review for more information about this store's history…read more I popped in to buy some basic needs (shampoo, toothpaste & some dish towels), mostly because it is one of the few places I could find all these items in one stop. Their prices are usually low compared to other stores. They also have a website, which I recommend you use for bigger ticket items, because the prices are always lower than in the store. Check-out was not as bad as usual (they never have enough registers open), but that's because there weren't many customers today.

This shopping mall is not that large, but has one of the best locations I've ever seen. It's…read morelocated right on the beach in Joao Pessoa, the capital of the Brazilian State of Paraiba. They have a movie theater and a gym that looks right out at the ocean; there are a number of fast-food restaurants (including Pizza Hut, Burger King & Subway) and 2 restaurants with table service (also with views of the ocean). Parking is outdoors and only costs about $1.25 (R$6). They have security at the entrances so safety is not an issue. I come here every once in a while because it's such a beautiful location. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth checking out.

C&A was founded in Belgium in 1841 and they have stores pretty much all over the world. It is the…read morelargest chain department store in Brazil, with over 290 stores, even though they only began here in 1976. They sell mostly clothing, but you can find perfume, costume jewelry, watches and accessories too. This particular store is located in the Manaira Shopping Mall. It's pretty large, has a decent selection of styles and sizes and their prices are reasonable. It can be a bit difficult to find someone to help you when you're in the store, but other than that, it's pretty good.
