DL BRAZUCA — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

UPDATE: Oct 14, 2023 WOW! We have been super busy with life and travel, but we were on our way to a shop located inside the same plaza as DL Brazuca. TO OUR SURPRISE, They are open on SATURDAY!! We bought some dry goodies, some Sausages and a bag of Cheese Bread. But the best part, is we brought lunch home. 2 Chicken Pies ( we shared one, there was so much chicken in it) and a Feijoada. OMG, Everything is delicious!! Since they are now open on Saturday's we will be visiting them a lot more frequently. I know it takes the chef Dina and Luis away from their family on Saturday, but OBRIGADO for your divine foods.

Just a few days ago, a friend at work told my spouse about the Brazilian food, market and specialities at DL Brazuca. Today, we had the privilege of enjoying the Monday lunch special. Mind you, if you do order from here, everyday is a specialty, plus there are quite a few other single-side items available. Our Picanha lunch special was outstanding. Homemade Farofa-out of this world, blend of Luis's spices for the tender Picanha and just enough meat for lunch. Brazilian Brown Beans were delicate and delicious, lightly seasoned and not distracting from the other flavors. I did not take a photo of our lunch, I was too hungry to photo-op. I will tell you, we enjoyed the Picanha, an Esfirra, plus cheesbread, that we had to buy two big pies - Catupiry and Chicken and a Hearts of Palm. Yep, that's right, DL's food was that good, we ordered these for dinner. Two hours later, we drove to pick them up! What does this tell you? Dina and Luis, the owners are delightful and their business will continue to grow as word-of-mouth spreads. Here are a few photos of what we bought today. We will be repeat customers for a very long time to come. PS: When we got home, even with full bellies, we cut into the warm Hearts of Palm pie. OMG, I have to go now, I need...

I've driven by this place for months thinking of stopping. So glad we did!

My daughter and I enjoyed perusing the isles and found some delicious Brazilian candy. I picked up a sausage for myself that I can't wait to try. We also got Pau de Queijo, a shrimp pie, chocolate truffles, carrot cake with chocolate drizzled, Maracuya juice, and a couple of other items; all of them were phenomenal.

The owners are so welcoming, friendly, and generous! They gave my daughter and I sample chocolate truffles and I had a complimentary coffee which I'm absolutely going to purchase during my next visit. They patiently answered our many questions and even taught my daughter a few worlds in Portuguese.

The ambiance is very clean and relaxed so you feel free to browse and the items are neatly organized.

Excellent place that I...

This is a very special place with the most delicious food and customer service I have seen it. Dina is very kind and always has a smile in her face. The store has the best assortment of Brazilian specialty packed and frozen foods and home made food as well. The place is also great to meetings and social events . The culinary is healthy and tastes wonderful. My favorite dish is chicken pot pie. I usually buy 5 and freeze at home and use as need it . My husband is American and is the one who asks me to get the pies and other home made dishes . He absolutely loves it. Thank you Dina for the chance you give to us to feel home and for the best service. Best...
