Pastelaria Vitoria Broadway — Restaurant in Somerville

So this place seems pretty authentic for Brazilian food. Most of the people there were speaking Portuguese. Besides the food they have a little grocery store in the back with Brazilian sweets,snacks and medication(?). They also had some deserts that seems typical to Brazil. The menu did not have prices until we waited in lime for like 10 mins and then they gave us a brochure with the prices and the English translation as well. We ordered three sandwiches and it took about 20mins for them to make them. Seemed a big disorganized but it was part of the vibe (hole in the wall). The chicken and beef in the sandwiches were very thin and I would have liked double the amount of meat. Flavors were decent and I wouldn't mind eating there again to just try all the unique foods. Lots of butter and fried foods. Cholesterol and saturated fats for miles. But your soul will love it most likely. It's an experience for someone who is not Brazilian. The place was busy on a weekday night, so that...

I must say, the food is absolutely amazing. If you're longing for a taste of Brazil, this is the spot to be. Their pastel and caldo de cana are simply outstanding, capturing the authentic flavors that will transport you back to Brazil.

Overall, if you're craving mouthwatering Brazilian delicacies, this place is a must-visit. Prepare to indulge in flavors that will whisk you away to Brazil, even if the space is a tad compact. Don't let that deter you from enjoying the incredible culinary...

This pastelaria reminded me of home. It was a mix of a small grocery store serving local Brazilian treats and a typical “padaria”. I enjoyed a coxinha with catupiry (traditional teardrop-shaped fried snack filled with shredded chicken and creamy catupiry cheese) and pasteis de palmito and cheese with my family. The fillings were GENEROUS and the pasteis were all made on the spot, FRESH. While there was a considerable wait time, it was well worth it.

If you’re thinking about eating in, this pastelaria is a cozier place with eight tables that can seat two people each.

Parking around here can be a bit tricky. There are 3 parking spots right in front of the pastelaria. If they happen to be filled, I suggest going to the Stop & Shop parking lot about...
