Via Brazil is a new endeavor from the family that owns and operates La Tiendita. And it’s right next door!
They recently opened for all day breakfast with an amazing menu. We did an embarrassingly large curbside order today to give it a try. And everything was fabulous! So what did we get? Here we go:
Misto Completo: this is a ham, cheese, bacon, and tomato sandwich, topped with a fried egg, oregano and olive oil, served on a freshly baked French roll
Choripan: Argentinan chorizo on a freshly baked roll with grilled onions and chimichurri sauce on a fresh baked French roll
Pamonha a Moda: Brazilian sweet corn tamale stuffed with cheese and sausage
Pao de queijo regular and Pao de queijo com queijo catupiry: these are cheese bread (regular) and cheese bread stuffed with catupiry cheese (Brazilian cream cheese)
Croquetta de bacalhao: salt cod croquettes
Coxhina de Frango e Catupiry and coxhina de bolinha de queijo: chicken and catupiry fritters and corn and cheese fritters.
Polenta Frita: fried polenta fries
And we ordered 6 of their fresh French rolls to go (they freeze perfectly).
The food was just amazing. The sandwiches were unique and perfect. The tamale was different than a Mexican tamale as it was softer and tasted more like corn. It was also huge! The salt cod fritters were outstanding. And the coxhina were addictive.
A few weeks ago I bought their O Portugues sandwich which is a fresh roll, toasted, with catupiry cheese, tomato, oregano and olive oil. I still think about how good that was!
They serve breakfast starting at 8:00am during the week, 9:30 on Saturday, and 11:30 on Sunday. And they serve it all day. And did I mention that they bake the French rolls in house daily? And they serve dinner specials on Friday and Saturday evenings.
What a great addition to the local food scene. Congratulations...
Read moreWe went out to dinner there last night. The owner told us they were short-staffed but the service was quite good. The owner came to us twice with free samplings that were delicious. The dinner was Mexican and Brazilian and we enjoyed them both. The prices were very reasonable and the ambiance great especially with the live music they had going on. I felt like I was not in Tallahassee and that I wasn't so close to a road like North Monroe. Definitely a great place for date night or...
