Acarajé da Cira - Rio Vermelho

The flagship of this restaurant is arroz de polvo com camarão (rice, squid rings and shrimp). The place isn't cozy but when you feel all the recipe's taste you'll understand why this meal is made by angels. Try it and you won't regret.

Excellent acaraje, yhe place desservent his rating, à must to visit and try when you are close by.

Delicious, really fresh food and the location, for me, is one of the best in Salvador!

Good Acarajé street food. The shrimp paste and the little shrimps are tasty. You can sit at the tables for the bar right next to it and eat there.

I ate acaraje with shrimp until i couldn't move!my love to the ladies!

Delicious food but the service could be better!!

Delicious, cheap and filling.

Cash only establishment, food is so good. They dont speak english so prepare the hand motion and google translate in hand. Otherwise delicious! Lovely ladies too. Their food place was packed with customers.

Good sample of some of the local cuisine, I went once late night and once around 4pm, it was quick both times, easy enough to order and you can't sit nearby on the benches and eat. Careful the shrimp doesn't call off your sandwich as it tends to be packed k the top and you have to distribute it around with your mouth or else you've eaten al the shrimp first and by the time you get to the rest of it there is no seafood left. They've got some other cow body parts I didn't try, overall this was worth the taste, low frills and simple but they're apparently the best in town, and like 13 rials for one.

I'm a bit split with my review - the food is fine - I've visited the place numerous times. Problem though is the personnel working the stand - treatment of (foreign) customers can be a bit odd - be prepared to pay more than locals which leaves a questionable after taste. There's other Acara stands in this area ... besides 50ft away is a great Tapioca Crepe stand, just saying. PS this place has two ID's on Yelp, see here, the same but with wrong street address: https://www.yelp.com/review_share/1JwoijLAG2105nScn_R0JA/review/1pyQDvqsUJBYLlPdwT8JFw

This is where the locals go to get acarajé. Do yourself a favor and try the acarajé if you are visiting Salvador.

One of my favorite places to get an acarajé, after work or on weekends. Lively atmosphere with lots of locals at tables enjoying cervejas and snacks in a super locale.

Get it with muito muito pimenta!!!! There are many great spots for acaraje and abara in Salvador and I have been lucky enough to have been taken to many different spots in different neighborhoods. For acaraje, this is the best.
