    Great food at a great price. They have Brasilian and Caribbean dishes such as Coxinhas and Jerk Chicken, which were both fantastic. Go when the weather is nice and sit outside on the patio

    Huge portions. A friendly staff. A great setting on the deck in the shade in Preservation Park. Get there between 11:30 and 12 ahead of the lunch rush.

    Jerk chicken is definitely a staple, but if you see coxinhas on the menu, get 'em! They're a rare occurrence and they're delicioussss

    I read good things about this place, and really want to check it out. Sadly they are only open during the week Mon-Fri, until 3pm.
