Petisco Brazuca | Downtown Brooklyn

I ordered three different empanadas, the beef, cheese, and chicken flavors. They were good but the amount of filling inside is a little disappointing, there was barely any chicken in the chicken empanadas. But and this is a big but, the coxinha was really good, my friend ordered the cheese and margarita flavors, so I definitely would recommend that!!!

As a Brazilian, with a mom who cooks very well, I must say that their pão de queijo, aka cheese bread, is the best I’ve had. Their dough has something special to it, like the ratio, or flour they use. I love it. This is a must try! And the churros are awesome!

Omg yum!! This is the first place I've seen that serves Brazilian snack foods. We tried a little bit of everything. The coxinha were definitely the stars! Our favorite was the buffalo chicken. There are about 10 in a bucket, so there are plenty to go around. Definitely going back next time I'm in DeKalb!

Loved the cheesy bread, but most of all, I enjoyed the spinach coxinha, which are just yummy goodness fried in a teardrop-shaped dough. You can get other flavors like chicken and margherita.

Tried the coxinhas, cheese and heart of palm flavor. They were very good. Tasted fresh. The person working there taught us how to say coxinha and what it meant. I'll definitely buy again.

This food court is always so fun, and I saw some others ordering this place. I was eyeing the Brazilian cheese and chicken empanadas here. After I ordered, I came back to ask a question about my order because I wasn't familiar with the empanadas having a thin layer of cheese lining the shell with an empty center. Seeing that I had expected something less hollow, the server was really kind and gave me another order even though he really did not have to! It was really crispy and the cheese pull from the chicken empanada both times was amazing. I'll have to try their pao de queijo next time, seeing how crisp and cheesy their empanadas were!

Great food and friendly staff. Better at making food than they are at playing soccer 🇦🇷. Highly reccomend

Tried the churro balls which had I think caramel inside them. We’re so delicious. The filling wasn’t too sweet so it was really delectable. Would come and try more stuff for sure.
