Made In Brazil

This is a review for the Farmers Market booth at UC San Diego on Tuesdays. I always order the Acai bowl, which has a smoothie of Acai at the bottom, some granola, strawberries and bananas with honey on top. I used to think there’s way too much honey smothered on top, so I started asking for «light honey» and the sweetness fits my taste a lot better :3
The reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because I don’t think the price justifies what you’re getting. Yes, the acai bowl and the fruits are fresh and delicious but for 8 dollars you can get an entire meal at Panda Express or Santorini or somewhere else in Price Center… But I keep coming back because it’s yummy :(lol.
All in all, I recommend the acai bowl! Go for it.

Definitely I recommend this place to anyone who appreciate good food, professional service and nice people .
The food is amazing, freshly prepared and very delicious.
I knew them from farmers market and ordered catering for a party, everybody love it and now they are conxinha, brigadeiro fans ;) .they rock !

By far the best tasting açai I’ve had! Friendly vendors and great food every Thursday at SDSU

This place is great! I recommend the beef and olive pastel with mozzarella cheese. Try it in the lunch plate! It has great flavor and isn’t too heavy. The acai bowl is also excellent, with a great fruit and granola flavor. Overall, great food at a good price, and the owner, Guillermo, is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet!

I almost don’t want to write this because I don’t want to have to wait as long for my delicious Brazilian food, but I guess I’ll just have to learn to share. Gee’s food is awesome! He got me hooked at first with the beef and olive pastel — add mozzarella cheese, you won’t regret it! The pastels are fried, but somehow they’re just not very greasy. So good! My recent obsession has been the acai bowl, but since they’ve started selling combo plates (onion/​garlic flavored rice, black beans, and greens with a pastel) I find myself torn. I’ll admit that I’ve even considered coming to the market for both lunch and dinner — it’s THAT good!
I get my Made in Brazil fix at the Hillcrest Market, but I know that they’re at other markets throughout SD, including UCSD, SDSU, and Imperial Beach. They have more information on their Facebook page. Find them. Try them. I think you’ll like it!

They’re at the Hillcrest farmers market on Sundays! Great acai bowls for $ 6… And you have to try the shredded chicken pastel. It’s like a hot pocket– with a lot more bang!

I ran across this vendor at the Rancho San Diego Farmers Market. They make these fried Brazilian rectangular Salted Pasteles, sweet ones are also available, filled with a variety of goodies. I was with my mother, so I ordered two: one with chicken and cream cheese, and the other with seasoned ground beef and olives. Each cost $ 4.50. (
)
The chicken, (
) was good. The chicken was finely shredded and had a slight spicy flavor that went well with the smooth cream cheese. The outside pastel was perfectly fried on both. It was crispy and not oily. The seasoned ground beef pastel was my favorite of the two. The meat very tasty and the salty olives gave the whole inside a nice balance. (
) The only thing that was missing for both of them was a nice sauce that could accompany them.
$ 4.50 was a descent price because they were pretty good in size and were filling. The service was friendly and the food came out in about 4 minutes which is good because they made the pastels right when I ordered them. I could see and hear them bubbling away in the hot oil.
I was unable to get a correct address for this business, so I used the Rancho San Diego Farmers Market’s address for now.
I like Brazilian Food…
