This place is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest hospitality. The menu has everything — from delicious appetizers that wake up your taste buds, to incredible Brazilian croquettes that are simply perfection, and even Brazilian-style burgers that are out of this world. Every single dish is packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. Special shoutout to Manager Thiago — he’s absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest has a fantastic experience. You can really feel the care in both the food and the service.
If you’re looking for a taste of Brazil right here in the city, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

This place is small but cozy,the only thing we didn't like it was the price. To every item they add tax,then in the total again they add tax. Also they just add a 20% tip with out our knowledge. So..it would of b nice if we knew in advance. Just order and take out

We tried the Pao de queijo, coxinha (chicken and cheese) & (yuca and beef), traditional açaí bowl, ham & cheese sandwich, picanha sandwich, and coffee. Everything was delicious. Outside seating & yummy food on a Sunday afternoon was a hit. We will be back.

They advertise fresh squeezed juice on their sign so I ordered a fresh squeezed OJ and then paid $7 to watch a woman pour Tropicana into a cup. When I called her out on it she said they were out of OJ. Genuinely such a scam lol

The food used to be delicious, but then the quality dropped. It is pricey. The employees are great, but the owner is not. She shows no respect for anyone. She used to be flirting with my husband in front of me. She was even trying to look for him on my Facebook. Be aware.

Excellent casual joint for a quick bite and chat. Really enjoyed the service however do not agree with the standard 20% tip. This is not cool. Tip practices are getting out of hand
New York Pão de Queijo has a great vibe. I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I started with the pão de queijo, which was a bit disappointing compared to another spot in Astoria. However, the X Brazil Burger more than made up for it—it did not disappoint.
I also ordered a traditional caipirinha, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. To top off my meal, I had a pudim that left me wanting more—it was the perfect way to end the night.
The atmosphere is great—perfect for going out with friends, enjoying good food, and not feeling rushed. I would highly recommend the X Brazil Burger. If the pão de queijo is better the second time around, I might give it another shot!

The food used to be great but not sure what happened. As long-time patrons, we were dismayed by the series of issues we encountered during our visit. Upon arrival, we were surprised to find the restaurant uncomfortably cold, with indoor temperatures matching the 25°F outside. Despite the presence of a heating lamp and a heater, neither was operational. My husband, our toddler, and I sat through our meal bundled in jackets and hats, contemplating leaving but choosing to stay in hopes that the food would compensate for the discomfort. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The quality of the food was subpar: the pão de queijo and French fries were rock-hard, the rice and beans were overly salty, the meat tasted gummy and the salad lacked dressing. Given the amount we spent, we expected a much higher standard of both comfort and cuisine. This experience has led us to reconsider our patronage. We hope you address these issues to prevent future disappointments for your customers. This experience has been the final straw; we have no intention of returning.

Good place if you and eat in. Unfortunately the delivery service lacks quality, as food arrived cold and soggy.

Too expensive for what it is, quality/ price don't match! The guy had to reopen the window to be polite. 🙄 He had to FORCE himself. Everything never offers even ketchup to go with coxina! Brigadeiro was all melted.

No lights in their shack to see the menu, with no QR code that works, and an employee who didn’t really seem interested in doing anything to change that or even take my order. $24 for their daily special platter for a wimpy salad, soggy and under-seasoned fries and four pieces of steak over rice and beans, very underwhelming experience (the steak was good at least)
