Dive bar serving fried coxinha, bolinhos, and bottled beer
"Maybe the most iconic snack in Brazil, coxinha consists of dough shaped like a chicken leg, stuffed with shredded chicken and then fried. This dive bar, where the stools are made of plastic and beers arrive in massive 600-milliliter bottles, fries coxinhas to perfection. After devouring a plateful, move on to a variety of other bolinhos (deep-fried snacks), like homemade meatballs, manioc fritters filled with oxtail, and Basque beef cheek fritters." - Rafael Tonon
