BRAZIL
PAO DE QUEIJO, 31-90 30TH ST.
Pao de Queijo is one of the most well-known
Brazilian dishes, and there’s no denying this
restaurant does its namesake food well. Start
off with these baked cheese balls, or coxinhas
(chicken croquettes) when they are available
(look to the sign on the door). Follow it up with
a one-of-a-kind burger, done Brazilian style
with a range of toppings. The X Calabresa is
topped with with more than just lettuce and tomato,
boasting cheese, corn, potato sticks and
mayonnaise, while the X Goiana is loaded with
cheese, ham and pineapple, along with corn,
potato sticks, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.
Finish your meal off with Brigadeirao, a homemade
chocolate flan.
MEXICO
EL MARIACHI, 33-11 BROADWAY
If you’re looking for Tex-Mex, you’ve come to the wrong
place! At El Mariachi, which opened in 2000, serving the most
authentic Mexican cuisine with the freshest ingredients (which
you can truly taste) is of the utmost importance. You’ll find the
usual eats — burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas, but you’ll
also find a variety of tortas, tostados and meat platters (like
mole de pollo and pierna adobada) with rice and beans. Upgrade
your taco game with more authentic offerings like lengua
(beef tongue), nopales (cactus), or chorizo.
