I absolutely rave about this Tacaca do Norte! 🚀✨

🥥 Acai: Brazil’s Beloved Superfood Sensation Acai, the deep-purple Brazilian berry, is everywhere in Brazil—and for good reason! 🇧🇷✨ This spot in Rio is hands down the city’s top-rated acai joint. A massive 600g bowl costs just 35 R$ and comes with a side of popped rice and granola (default). 🥣💸 Even though the portion is huge (most people order the large!), I went for the unsweetened option (bless no sugar added!). The result? A subtly sweet, velvety texture like chilled chocolate sauce—minus the guilt. 🍫❄️ It’s refreshing, healthy, and perfect for beating Rio’s summer heatwaves. Move over, ice cream—acai is my new go-to! 🔥 Tacaca do Norte: The Polarizing Soup That Won Me Over Next up: their iconic Tacaca (aka “sour-spicy shrimp soup”). 🍲🌶️ Google reviews are split—people either love it or hate it—but I’m obsessed. First, the sourness: Fermented and tangy, not overpowering. Strangely, it reminded me of the pickled vegetables in my childhood “jiangshui yuyu” (a Chinese sour soup dish). 🥢 Nostalgia hit hard with the first sip! Then there’s the spicy kick: A side of fiery chili sauce cranks up the heat—perfect for spice lovers like me. 🌶️💥 After a day of sweating in Rio’s sun, this tangy, spicy bowl was exactly what I needed to recharge. 🌟 Final Take: Two Must-Tries in One Spot If you’re in Rio, don’t miss this dual threat: Acai bowl: Healthy, creamy, and refreshing. Tacaca soup: Bold, tangy, and weirdly comforting. Trust me—even if you’re skeptical about the soup, give it a shot. Your taste buds (and inner spice lover) will thank you. 😎 #RioFood #AcaiAddict #TacacaLover #BrazilianStreetFood
