My god what can I say. The rest of the world seems to make kebabs both absolutely terrible and only…read moregood when drunk, and absolutely amazing kebabs. Sao Paulo only seemed to make the absolutely terrible which really weren't kebabs at all. My search for a decent kebab led me to Pinati, an Israeli restaurant located in Santa Cecilia. However, each time I was nearby, it was Saturday and it was sadly closed. Though one Sunday afternoon I made the trip over to Pinati to test out there kebab. And boy I was not disappointed. At around 30 reais it might be a little steep for a kebab but it is totally worth it. The freshly made hummus, the juicy chicken made each bite explode in my mouth. The service was attentive and the portions were quite generous. Definitely on the list to return, just not on a Saturday.

The best value for your money is most definitely the Menu Guapa. The simple salad has awesome ingredients and tasty dressing and is filling enough that I don't need more than two empanadas to go with it. The empanadas themselves are not too big and can be a bit pricey by themselves. I recommend this place for Vegans. I know it can be hard to find variety for vegans in this city and La Guapa has a few great options for them.

On Augusta, you'll find Taqueria La Sabrosa, which is a Mexican-themed fast-food restaurant. As…read moreI've never spent any time in Mexico, I can't tell you just how authentic their Mexican food is, but I can say from personal experience that their food is pretty good. They have a straightforward and interesting way to explain how to their food is ordered. As you enter, there's a huge sign that gives step-by-step instructions - a nice touch. The wall menu lists appetizers, burritos tacos, and several other items, all served on plates (not Taco-Bell style). We had four different dishes, and they were all very good. This is food that should be eaten with your hands, so beware: Taqueria La Sabrosa doesn't provide knives and forks. Some people might find this strange, but it works for me :-) If you'd like a libation with your meal, they have bottled beer, Heineken on tap, and various tequila drinks. The staff is very friendly and informal; they're always happy to explain the dishes on the menu.

What did I eat? 1 serving of taco de carne adobada: 2 tiny tacos de carne adobada with some pineapples, all pastor style. 1 cheese enchilada: the size of a small corn tortilla in the US but even smaller, with some cheese and topped with guac. 1 agua de tamarindo. Spent almost R$ 40 and left hungry! Plus, parking around that hood is hard to find. Parking $30 + lunch $40, $70 total, it's far and beyond civilization but next time I crave Mexican food, I will have to drive. Coming back here to La Sabrosa? Probably not...
