"Moqueca The moqueca at Favela Grill in Astoria is made with as much tender fish, juicy tomatoes, and bright herbs as any version of this fish stew in the city. But what lifts this one above the others is the pirão served on the side. With some rice and farofa, the thick blend of cassava flour and fatty pan drippings is as delicious as what you scoop out of the big stone pot next to it." - matt tervooren
"All of the sugar and lime in the caipirinhas at Favela Grill make it so you don’t even notice the heavy pours of cachaça. The caipirinhas are delicious, and they're worth feeling like the personification of the upside-down head emoji the next morning. But no matter what you drink at this Brazilian spot in Astoria, a few things need to be on your table, like the Brazilian-style beef jerky and moqueca packed with big pieces of tender fish. On weekends, the space fills up with groups drinking giant towers of beer while live bossa nova plays in the corner." - team infatuation
"All of the sugar and lime in the caipirinhas at Favela Grill make it so you don’t really notice the heavy pours of cachaça. The cocktails at this Astoria restaurant are excellent, and worth the distinct possibility that you’ll be seeking out some Gatorade about 12 hours later. No matter what you drink here, though, a few things need to be on your table: carne seca covered in sauteed onions, and thick moqueca packed with big pieces of tender fish. Come with a date, and choose your table based on the knowledge that the live bossa nova playing in the corner is quite loud." - Neha Talreja, Matt Tervooren

But matter what you drink at this Brazilian spot in Astoria, a few things need to be on your table, like Brazilian-style beef jerky and moqueca packed with big pieces of tender fish. During the week, it’s a low-key place filled with dates and families, but on weekends, the space fills up with groups drinking giant towers of beer while live bossa nova plays in the corner." - Matt Tervooren
