Brasil Legal Cafe — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Brazil legal, is a small grocery / restaurant, cafe. This place serves manly stuff from Brazil, most being candy and chips along with Brazils favorite coffee.

They have a nice selection of Brazilian groceries, desserts, ready made food and refrigerated dairy and raw...

Got a Guarana drink and a Korchinha (sp?), not that I knew what that was before it was introduced to me... This is a great little place that I'd otherwise walk by, but since a friend took me, I got the chance to find a little gem. Items from Brasil which were introduced to me were delicious. There's a few tables there for people to sit and was informed there was a tv for watching the soccer games, and that it gets packed (and no doubt rowdy. Brasilians love their soccer). I prefer to grab a snack here rather than the Mcdonalds down the street for a lunchtime treat and will put it on my list as an option. Oh man, the World Cup action is going to be...
