If I am in the area and a little hungry, this is the place I stop by for a little snack. They are mostly a grocery store, selling everything from nail polish to candies to cheese to meat and bacalhau. There's also a counter selling savory pastries and desserts. I admit I don't know much about Brazilian cuisine, but there are brigadeiros (similar to truffles), quindims, coxinhas, pão de queijo, empadas and more. There are a few tables so if you like, you can enjoy the food right there, along with a coffee, which they also sell. Their cheese bread is like three for a little over $1, and I doubt you can find anything as filling and satisfying than these for such low price. It's fun for me to explore around the stores and try their pastries and candies.

Nice little store with Brazilian products! Traditional Brazilian snacks and flours can be found here. As for the baked goods, they have brigadeiros, chocolate cake, bolo de milho, and also savory stuff like coxinha de frango. I tried this one as was super delicious! It's like a stuffed potato with chicken and a crunchy crust! Perfect middle afternoon snack! I also tried the cheese bread, can't go wrong with that. They had a wide variety of products.

I have not received my items yet so this review is off customer service alone. However, I ordered shoes and a shirt so if I dont like what I receive it it not their fault it is my own. I live in North Carolina, I came across this place on instagram. I am very hesitant to make online orders from places I have never been because there is no telling the quality of the Items you will get,or if you can even get in touch with the store if there is an issue. I saw some shoes I liked on their page and a shirt to go along with it for a reasonable price so I decided to give it a shot. I placed the order on Tuesday, on Wednesday I was notified by text message from a Charles who works at the store and was currently in the process of putting my order together. He informed me that the shirt I order had a defect on it so they cannot ship it out. Whether it was a defect or a shortage in availability, I was still appreciative of the prompt message and effort on their behalf. He then let me know that they had other sizes in that shirt available or other options if I was interested. I looked on their site and responded with a few pictures of other shirts I liked and he let me know which ones they had available in my size. He let me know he would replace my order with the new shirt. A few hours later I received the tracking info for my order. I will definitely be shopping with them again!!

Many people think I only love Brazilian culture because of the their Miss BumBum pageant. That may or may not be true, but let me tell you this. I drove all the way down to Homestead today just to spend $10/per pound on some Jabuticaba. I know what your thinking, what the hell is Jabuticaba, it sounds like some kind of voodoo artifice, but it's not, it's actually Brazil's second greatest asset outside of their women, the Brazilian grape. After I picked up my grapes I had a strong urge for some Brazilian pastries, so I checked yelp and found that Mercado Brasil was in the vicinity. As soon as I walked into this place, I knew I would love it. The place isn't huge, but they probably have anything you're looking for that's Brazilian. I saw all of my favorite pastries including ones I wasn't aware of like Coxinha, empada's, Pao de queijo the holy grail of all snacks, pastel queijo, imported Juices like Caju, imported frozen pastries, sweets and meats like cupim, imported sodas, imported general groceries, clothes and flags. I asked the woman who was working there that I wanted to buy just one Pao de queijo(cheese bread), I wanted to make sure I liked it and she gave it to me for free. It was delicious, I ended by buying 2 dozen of them, a couple of coxinha, a caju juice, a pastel queijo, and a frozen bag of coxinha. There's an urban legend that states if you present a Brazilian outside of Brazil with Jabuticaba they will literally shiver like they're in Siberia and fall in love with you. The woman who worked there was Brazilian, being she gave me the free cheese bread I decided to part with some of my beloved jabuticaba, so I told her I was going to give her a present. The minute she saw them she started to shiver as the legend states, she didn't even wash them, she just gulped them down. Whether she has fallen in love with me or not, I'll see the next time I drop in.

Mercado Brasil will get you as close as can be with their array of Brasilian delicacies like empada, coxinha and feijoada, along with gourmet sammies, wines, pastries and other products.
