"we had a pastel & acaraje here, both were very popular. it was very good. the prices are tourist prices all across the Quadrado area., but the atmosphere is beautiful as long as its not raining. service is friendly and helpful"

"This tend is the best local experience to have the Brazilian Tapioca. I was happy so see they had plenty of vegetarian and a few vegan options. The fresh orange juice is also great.

"Staff served us a RAW pastel, when we complained they wouldn’t change it or give us a refund. Incredibly rude. When the second one came out we showed them the obvious difference between the two, they still said ‘that’s too bad’ DISGUSTING behaviour and money grabbing. The acarajé have ZERO flavour and was so disappointing. AVOID"
