    Bem-vindo a Cork Renata and her husband but it seems they've already been here for 5 years and it shows. Read the CorkBeo article on this business. Seeing a lot of Brazilians going in so it must be good. The food is crazy, small little deep-fried bites of cheese and meat or cheese and corn. Beautiful. Get a Guaraná as well to keep it traditional. The Churros were honestly unexpected. Small little churros and they were filled with Nutella(Dark) or Dulce de leche.(Light). Sugar on the outside is misleading. It's not that sugary compared to Donut Shack and it doesn't taste like sugar sugar. Oozing churros are crazy! Prices are good, really competitive with chippers but I only wish the whole thing could stay hot/experience it fresh out the fryer. They are small so they can't keep heat that well so you're better off eating inside or on the street but they do stay crispy. Overrall, this has become a go-to spot for me for Brazilian street food. They have a bit of empty space around the place so I hope they make more Brazilian street food for Cork to enjoy

    I have a feeling that given the rave reviews I'm going to leave one, a little more moderate. Of course we agree that the proposed formula is original enough to be underlined and new. The restaurant is clean with shimmering colors, it attracts the eye and considering the placement of the store it is a good thing that it can be seen from far. The food is good without breaking the bank and rather filling, which is a good thing, the formula at 8€ is enough to calm a stomach at 16 hours I don't give it the maximum mark because I felt something quite hard to crack under the tooth... I give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and I'll give it a second chance another time. Apart from this slight unpleasantness I recommend. The staff is really nice !

    Holy cow, this place is awesome! Personal favourites were the coxihna and cheese stuffed and the Nutella churros, but everything was delicious! Really fast and decently priced.

    Never would have found this place without the underground doughnut tour. (Thanks Patrick) This was the last stop and I had been dreaming of churros the moment our guide mentioned them at the start. I thought “ churros in Ireland “ , why the hell not! Holy molly these are forever to be known as “Little Nuggets of Heaven”. I wanted to finish them all, but I had already had a lot of delicious pastries. Hands down, one of the best churros I have ever had. Also, love that a family business is kicking a$$.

    We got the chocolate filled bites. Really tasty and also open til late night so great late night snack. Such a nice place to eat in too - very clean and fast service too. The workers here are such lovely people (the two workers who worked on Saturday night shift - forgot to take names!). We went here during our holiday in Ireland and the two staff members here from Brazil were really kind, helpful and gave good recommendations. Meeting the workers here was actually a huge highlight of our holiday! Always nice to meet good hearted humans!

    Ordered surprise box via Too good to go, the snacks were worth the spend. , we enjoyed the Brazilian food it was a favorable first time experience.

    The food and service were excellent. If the space was bigger, that'll get a 5* too. The best snacks to have in Cork. It's a bit off beat location along what I describe as an alleyway but really close to Gate Cinema so it isn't hard to find.

    About the Açai, it was delicious! I’m Brazilian and this is a typical in our country. The taste is very good and similar. The price is not the best, but we need to keep in mind the food isn’t from here, but maybe the place could do some Meals/combos with the açai. The fruits and the combinations to the açai were very fresh and nice. You’ll not regret to go there.

Cheese balls is absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to back!! I just wished the size was a bit bigger hehe but it’s because It was too delicious 😋 Thank you guys, customer service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean either. Recommend.
