Underwhelming Coxinha — expected more
I was looking forward to Coxinha here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The robust and filling character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with dried shrimp or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portuguese roots. The a churrascaria rodizio steakhouse setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. caipirinha was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
