    Hooray! A Brazilian lancheonette and quilo restaurant!…read more Outside of Hillside and Newark, you'd be hard pressed to find many Brazilian restaurants in the area, perhaps which is why this location is so close to Hillside and Newark! Located in uptown Elizabeth, you'll find that finding a parking spot can sometimes be an absolute nightmare. On my first trip, I ordered off their set menu for their picanha. They have daily specials on a blackboard as well as a quilo buffet filled with delicious fresh homemade options. The picanha was cooked well, of good quality, and was a good portion for the "1/2 lunch portion" for $12 and came with rice, beans, and a side salad. They also make fresh bread and salgadinhos, such as coxinhas, empadaos, pasteis, and kibbeh. On several trips since then, I've gone for the buffet, which offers a variety of typical Brazilian dishes, such as vaca frita, feijao tropeiro, farofa, linguini, fried fish, and more. The buffet goes for $8/ pound or $13 for all you can eat, which is a steal! The owner was very friendly and I'd gladly return again if I'm in the area and craving Brazilian food.

    It will be hard to find this restaurant because it's in a residential area, so it's kind of hidden…read more I'm so glad I found this spot. Let the staff know you came for the buffet. Look at the options in the back and chow down. All the food was super flavorful! The food were all so comforting. The pork Chicharrón, beans, potato salad, steak and chicken were all incredible and delicious. A lot of people took food to-go, but I rather try everything and get more from their $17 all-you-can-eat buffet. A very affordable buffet. The owner was very kind as well, I was curious about a fried dough and she let me try one. She even told me the name of it, but I can't recall. But the texture was chewy and a bit savory. They also sell fresh orange juice. I definitely enjoyed all the different options and friendly atmosphere!

    In between the Brazilian bakeries and restaurants on Liberty Ave, you'll now find Rio de la Plata…read more Referring to the river between Uruguay and Argentina, Rio de la Plata, rightfully so is a newly opened Uruguayan/Argentinian style empanada shop and bakery. Owned by Ruben's Empandas, whom has multiple locations found throughout NYC, Rio de la Plata is a wonderful addition to the area, replacing a previous Brazilian luncheonette. Upon walking in, you'll find dozens of empanadas encased in glass with a ton different filling options such as beef, sausage, chicken, fish, and vegeterian, and even dessert ones. Empanadas are what they're most known for, and often I've found are the best option to order. In addition to empanadas, they serve typical Uruguayan dishes such as the chivito sandwich and bizcochos. The chivito in Uruguay is often called the heart attack on a plate. It is a sandwich topped with steak, ham, cheese, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and olives, with fries on the side. Bizcochos are popular savory and sweet croissant, donut-like snacks found throughout Uruguay. I've tried their empanadas, bizcochos, and once the chivito. The empanada is a giant, puff-pastry, stuffed with the filling of your choice and is well-seasoned. At $2.50 an empanada, it's well worth it. Unfortunately, I've left here with a bit to be desired when it came to the bizcochos as well as the chivito. The bizcochos are sold on discount in the afternoon, and there are daily specials on a blackboard.
