The best run Portuguese market liquor store for miles. The personal service makes it enjoyable every time! Fresh made breads and pastries cheeses meats and delicacies sourced from Portugal and locally. You will find prices (on more than just Portuguese wine, liquor and port) and that beat every liquor store plus Costco! They will also ship orders! This morning Angela helped me personally pick out everything I need from the old country to bring back to my mom! Thank you! Valeu!! read more

Sousa's Wines & Liquor - Sousa's Liquor Store & Market - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Mountain View, California

Just a quick review for the Portuguese products. We did not purchase any alcohol. We planned to make feijoada. A Brazilian staple. We were able to find all of the dry ingredients. We purchased the greens at the local farmers market. We were greeted as we entered. All of the stuff that we purchased had good experation dates.(Something we always check at small mom and pop specialty stores. The place is fairly well stocked with Portuguese and Brazilian products. read more

Very Nice Owners! Support Local Stores!! I get my brazilian cheese and bread! Very Yummy

Needed to stay in Mountain View and this is conveniently located on Moffett Blvd next to the Hampton Inn. Bought a microbrew (great selection of the top brands including Lagunitas and Sierra Nevada. I left my credit card in the terminal and they were so kind and held it for an hour until I came back! read more

Nice cool liquor store has a wide selection. Customer service amazing Also has a choice of snacks read more

Had family visit from Brazil and they love this store. The frozen pão de queijo is the best you can find anywhere. They also carry great selections of snacks, beers, steaks, cheeses and multiple Brazilian goods that are hard to come by. read more

My lovely and oh so chipper Brazilian boss took me here to get frozen Pão de Queijo because she knows I'm obsessed with cheese bread and my that my life revolves around cheese. I thank the Brazilian gods everyday for creating this 8th world wonder. Simply input 'Pão de Queijo' and 'Mountain View' in the search fields in Yelp and I find it hilarious this is the FIRST result that pops up aside from the paid ads. Peninsula earthlings know their Pão de Queijo! Frozen Pão de Queijo, WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE THESE FLUFFY CHEESY BALLS OF LOVE at Safeway?!! Hello, Whole Foods?!?!? Kroger?!?!?!?!? Anyone want to be second to market after Sousa's?!?!?!?!?!!? Because this tiny strip mall liquor store is KILLIN it with the Brazilian offerings that I forgot it sold liquor in the first place. Simply put: cheese is my vice and poison of choice and I wish they carried Costco sized bags of this hunky stuff. Giving this corner liquor store 5 stars based on the sole fact that they carry frozen Pão de Queijo for us lazy non-Brazilian folks who love and adore and can't live without cheese bread. Also the rating is for the very nice Portuguese speaking owner who lovingly asked as I was at checkout, "Only ONE bag?!??!?!?!" Haha yes my dudes, I -- the ultimate cheese fiend only bought ONE bag in my possession simply because my backpack only accommodates ONE bag and I have to transport this all the way to SF! Will return to hoard later. Peace out cheese out! read more

Sousa's Wines & Liquor - Unsuspecting corner liquor store carrying Brazilian goodies. Like do they even sell liquor here?!?? - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Mountain View, California

They seem to have a good selection and if I drove I would recommend them but I cannot recommend ordering from them via Amazon. I have an order right now that was supposed to be delivered. It's over 40 minutes late and they have no idea when it will arrive. They told me I have wait here until it arrives. If it doesn't show up that means they've cancelled the delivery. read more

Fantastic selection of Portuguese wines, and food. Nice clerk too. read more

Sousa's Wines & Liquor - I found a large selection of Portuguese wine. Mais Fica Wine, and many choices of Linguica. The clerk was so nice, let me use the restroom. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Mountain View, California

Went here for the first time on Friday. Bought pão de queijo, pimenta malagueta, picanha steak, and some a bunch of other snacks. All reasonably priced in my opinion. Owner super nice and funny. A little bummed they didn't have leblon. But overall, good first experience. read more

Sometimes when you go to a party and you don't have a lot of time to think about what booze you're going to bring, so you just show up to a place and let the selection decide for you. This is a really old school place, in fact the guy working here was giving me a history lesson on the military base and the now defunct St James Infirmary (best damn chicken wings ever - RIP), and other tidbits of Mountain View. So we picked up some large amounts of your basic boozes and got an education in tow. read more

This is the place I come for Pao de Quejo! and some other brazilian goodies. The owner is nice. read more

If you are looking for Portuguese or Brazilian products this is definitely the place to go. Good variety and friendly people. read more

Best store to find your Brazilian food. Alberto and Goreti are great hosts and very friendly!

They have all the good stuff from Brazil here that is hard to find anywhere else: catupiry, tapioca, guaraná, carne de sol and pão de queijo. They also have a huge selection of Portuguese food and wine. They have the best selection of Bacalhau in the Bay Area. During the COVID 19 Pandemic; this was the only market that had toilet paper and no line. read more

I come here to grt ny Guarana and Bis. I also get my coxinha here as well... if you want brazilian food good price to go to

This is one of the Bay Area's glorious smallish ethnically-specialized grocers that even attracts some shoppers from far away, for hard-to-find products. In this case the specialties are Brazilian and Portuguese and the proprietor is a lively wit (worth engaging if you value verbal repartee, or just need suggestions) -- sample dialog in last paragraph below. Justly famous for the bite-sized Brazilian cheese appetizers (exact name and spelling: pão de queijo, "cheese bread"), sold frozen in bags in various versions and flavors. As the Merck Index might warn: Caution! Addictive! Made from tapioca-starch dough with cheese added, they're a unique, denser, intenser cousin of French gougères (I see gougères occasionally in US restaurants, and people make them at home -- they're the timeless perfect simple accompaniment to good red wine). One of these days some NYT food journalist will get around to writing an article making pão de queijo trendy, then everyone in the US will be chattering about them and displaying hipness by serving them with cocktails. If you don't want to wait for all that, go to Sousa's now. I'm told the shop even keeps a toaster oven in the back to offer hot samples sometimes. I find Sousa's frozen pão de queijo cook up best in a full-size oven on a non-stick cookie sheet or cake pan, not rushed, allowed to brown gently. I've also found unusual Portuguese pastas and other ingredients at Sousa's, and there are many items I don't recognize at all. Note that Mountain View has long housed a significant ethnic-Portuguese population (many of its families having roots in the Azores), with local festivals and two Portuguese community organizations with meeting halls (IFES, SLV). Besides groceries and the said dangerously habit-forming frozen appetizers, Sousa's is a wine and liquor store with (naturally!) vast selection of Port wines especially. (Sample of actual repartee with proprietor: Me: I need some Port to cook with. He: These ports are in your price range but too good to cook with, they're for drinking. Me: Then they're good for cooking too, because if you cook with an inferior wine it shows in the flavor. He: I'll drink to that.) read more

I miss Brazil a whole lot, and here I can find food like farofa, brigadeiro chocolate, Guarana, and other brands you can usually only find in Brazil. The owners are nice, too. read more

Prices aren't bad. Location isn't bad. Selection isn't bad. The owner is very friendly and it is nice to have a local place for my wife to pick up Brazilian goods. 4 stars for Sousa's. read more

I love this place! I can all my Brazilian goods. Some are seasonal products. My kids love the Portuguese pastéis ! Another plus: staff is very friendly!! read more

Great shop! Hugh Sortiment of beer, wine and whisky. If you are at mountain view and you like to get liquor for a fair price you need to check this store out! read more

This is my go-to place for Brazilian goodies: Guarana (soda) Cachaca (liquor) Sonho de Valsa (chocolate) Pao de Queijo (cheese bread) Carne seca (meat) All types of Brazilian fruit juices. This place would get 5 stars from me if they could find a way to bring in the Brazilian milk. It's boxed and doesn't require refrigeration until opened... Why oh why can't they get it for me??? read more

Good selection. Great prices. Found these place via a Yelp check-in and walked out with a few earlier vintage Grgich and Silver Oak cabs. Friendly cashier. Place is a bit out of the way. read more

A true gem of Mountain View that only the locals know about. If you have never been - it's not just a liquor store. They have a nice market with imports from Europe and Brazil. I believe it is the only Brazilian market in the area. Even if you have no desire to have Brazilian foods, you must try their Pao de Queijo, their cheese rolls shipped in frozen from Brazil. He even has mixed in which you can make your own Pao de Queijo, but it's hard to beat the frozen ones. They also have a great wine selection that's great in price. The owner Al who is Portuguese carries a good bit of Portuguese and Spanish wines. if you are in the mood for Port or something else liquid from the Iberian peninsula, this is the place to go. Make sure you get to know the owner Al. Purchasing wine and groceries from a person like him is worth visiting him over Whole Foods or BevMo. read more

Al is a great proprietor, and we like to go here to support a local non-chain shop. We're so lucky to have this store too. Al takes special orders over the phone from us, and he has these killer cheese rolls, like you get at the Brazilian BBQ restaurant. But now, we can get them at Sousas. Yeah! Sometimes, when we go in and make a big order, Al will throw in a nice bottle of wine that he recommends, on the house. I'm calling him right now to order my 21 year old Balvenie Portwood. He'll have it in just a few days too. A great local liquor store. You should stop in. read more

1 review? Ok I know this place is a little off the beaten path, but it deserves more than that! First off, you have to know this is a Brazilian wine and liquor store. This means a couple of things that I love: - they have lots of esoteric brazilian liqueurs like passion fruit liqueur, pineapple liqueur, etc - they have pao de quejo!! frozen ones that you can just throw in the oven, and also a mix that lets you make your own. i can't wait to eat the frozen ones I bought I am a beer snob, so I wasn't impressed by the beer - go to bevmo and whole foods for good beer. I'm not a wine snob, but they had a lot of wine. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's a very good selection. read more

Been coming here for years - great place to stock up on Brazilian goods that are hard to find anywhere else in the South Bay: cafe, farofa, pao de queijo, doces, requijão, linguiça - you name it. They even stock Brazilian holiday fare, like giant Easter eggs and Bauducco panettone) And very decent prices on cachaça and Portuguese wines. The staff is helpful and friendly - we chat in Portuguese (I am a phony Brazilian) and joke around. A few times I've been by they even have barbecues going out front. read more

Wahoo! Looking for brigadeiros and typed it into the yelp search on a whim. Found this place that's super close to my house. Drove over. The guy was super helpful; bought the chocolate, the sprinkles and the cases super easily. There's a cool HUGE rubber band ball too. read more

Yes! Brazilian food! Haven't tried any of their liquor yet lol. But I love the selection of Brazilian Products.

I just spoke to Albert, the owner, and he told me that he shipped a replacement, to include the return FedEx label inside. So, I am giving them five stars for his customer service! I do not have the product yet, but I am sure he is a man of his word. Thanks Albert! It was just a matter of non-communication. read more

Beer selection underwhelming and owner did not know much about beer in general. Store was cold and dirty. Go somewhere else if possible. (Oh, and beer was marked up more than usual- plenty of bud, Miller, and Coors though). read more

This place is a liquor store - a liquor store that carries all the Brazilian goodies that you can possibly desire! I am very excited for this recommendation passed on by one of my colleagues. I came in and bought my obligatory Guarana sodas, some passion fruit juice (from Brazil) and some Brazilian cookies and candy. Best part is that Sousas operates liquor store hours which means that I can literally get my Brazilian goods whenever I desire. Those living in the Peninsula / South Bay know that it is not easy to procure Brazilian goods . . . until you visit Sousas. read more

I have been coming here since I moved to Mountain View in April 2015. Since day one the Owner Alberto and his lovely friendly wife have always treated me as a person and not just another customer. Alberto even knows that one of my favorite beers is Steigl Pils and he will tell me most of the time if they have some in or not. I don't buy my alcohol anywhere in the san jose,sunnyvale,mountain view,santa clara area except for here. Great people,great selection. read more

I've been going to Sousa's for at least 5 years. The place has the best selection of Brazilian food stuff south of San Francisco ( probably north too, ha, ha ! ! ). Pao de queijo, farinha de mandioca, polvilho azedo, guarana, cachaca, fruit juices, candys, bon-bon, Portuguese olive oil, canned sardines, and Brazilian toiletry - even rice and beans ! Also They also have Portuguese stuff too, besides American stuff (beer and wine). The owners are GREAT people. I'm a forever customer !!! read more

I LOVE Brazilian beans!! So my sister found this place and told me about it. There is a whole isle of food from Brazil - yummy!!! The cashier lady was so sweet and nice. I will be back again for more. read more

So I stopped by this liquor store to purchased Powerball tickets. I had forgotten to add a number, and I have 0layed the lottery for over a decade. I filled out the missing numbers. The cashier did not tell me to go back in the line. I stood there like dumbass staring at the guy to be served. He ignored me and continued to help other customers. I decided to get back in the line. He gave me the same no smile look. He did not bother conversating or wish me good luck. The owner came up and took my tickets, process them and told the cashier, 12.00. I should have walked away from the snooty store but he was nice enough to give me a pen earlier. If I win, I better see a smile. read more

Great shop! I like the assortment of Brazilian items. Lots of other good things, too.

I like all the Brazilian goods I can find at this place, some things like canjica, chocolate lactea, farofa and milharina. The prices are pretty fair. I have been here twice and the service is also very friendly and I get to speak Portuguese with which I believe was some of the owners. Great people. read more

The Portuguese owner was very friendly :) I was looking for Brazilian corn flour to make farofa and found it!

I came here with the bf after an early dinner at chevy's yesterday and I wanted pao de queijo so badly since I haven't been able to consume any in months. I should've known they weren't gonna have much since it is mainly a liquor store. I was able to purchase light catupiry, and pao de queijo mix. I was disappointed they didn't have requeijao or frozen pao de queijo. I miss brasil so much, but being at rosa trade right on alum rock fills up my brazilian comfort. read more
