Lu Delicias Caseiras

My boyfriend and I frequent here at least once a week. He’s from Brazil and loves it, he speaks Portuguese with the staff and enjoys it, I on the other hand don’t speak the language but I know one of them, his name is Steve, will be able to help you out if you don’t speak Portuguese. I was weary at first but I like the food there a lot. My favorite thing there is the coxinha, it’s a chicken pastry. Super super good!

At the strong recommendation of a friend, I visited LUDelicias today for lunch. It’s a Brazilian restaurant at the back of a Latin grocery store. The lady at the counter (Luciani) didn’t speak a lot of English. She recommended the special, so I just said okay. Had I known it consisted of beef, rice and beans, spaghetti, and a cabbage salad (sort of like cole slaw), I would have passed… and missed out. Although really carb heavy, I lapped it up! My, my. It was tasty! The portion sizes are HUGE. It’s definitely enough for two to share or a meal plus leftovers.
The menu has sandwiches, salads, pastries, pancakes (these are more like crepes. They are meat filled, not a breakfast sweetie), and omelets. They also have breads, pastries, breakfast, and fresh juices. I got a cheese filled roll for the road. It was nice sweet bread. Fluffy, but also dense. It had some kind of cheese like mozzarella in it. Not what I was expecting, but still good.
When you are searching for some comfort food that is out of the ordinary, try this place. It’s a hole in the wall that nobody knows about… for now. It won’t stay that way. I promise.
