We ordered the ham and cheese, which surprisingly wasn't as salty as I thought it would be. The dough was perfectly flaky, and I loved eating the edges. Coxinhas were big--though not my favorite. They weren't quite as crispy on the outside as I would have liked. But the service was so friendly, and the food was good. I want to try coming during the day when everything is made and laid out for you. We ordered 4 coxinhas and 4 pasteles for 4 people...but the two of us ended up eating them all!

The burger was okay, but nothing special. The shrimp were over cooked and dry, and the sauce they were in was definitely not the best bobo de cameron I've tasted. The description of the bobo stated it would come with French fries, but instead came with potato sticks. Which is normal for the dish, but for some reason I expected French fries because their English menu (they have two separate menus) stated French fries. Everything was super salty. I don't think I'll come again.

This restaurant was a last minute search idea by my brother and was the less fancy of the two he posed in Long Branch. The other was meh when I went a few years ago. I wanted hearty traditional fare in both food and ambience. Raízes fit the bill. I ordered Frango (half chicken) with Pork Ribs. Although it was one rib, it was large and the chicken sufficient. Under that protein, the plate was loaded with delicious French Fries and the other half rice. A large bowl of feijoada beans was put on the table and I shoveled many spoonfuls on my rice. The entire dish was delicious. The chicken absolutely mouthwatering. Bookmarked to return!

Unfortunately, this was a truly disappointing experience. We were a family of three hoping for a…read morenice family-style dinner, but nearly every part of the meal and service fell short. Our waiter was difficult to understand and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. The bread was so overbaked and hard we were worried about breaking a tooth. The shrimp appetizer was very good, although swimming in oil; the Iberico rib meat was greasy and came with raw garlic. When the plates were cleared, oil was spilled onto our table. Then we waited about 45 minutes for our entrees and eventually had to track someone down ourselves. We later discovered our waiter eating at the bar while we were waiting. The octopus was both charred and undercooked and far too salty. The nearly 3-inch-thick pork chop, ordered medium, was raw in the center. The "apricot brandy reduction" was essentially jam on top, and the potato chips were thick and underfried. The $37 pork chop was essentially inedible. Getting the check was another ordeal--we had to ask multiple times and were even brought another customer's check and credit card by mistake. There was no adjustment to our bill. After paying, we also had to wait to get our card back. The bartender did seem genuinely concerned when we told him what happened and ultimately offered 10% off a future visit, but after this experience, we certainly won't be returning. The shrimp were good and the bartender tried to help, but overall the food, service, and handling of the situation were far below what we expected.

In fact, we had the churrasco and the ceviche and both were very good. We also had a mango shake with milk, also excellent. Great tase and good consistency. The place also has a good atmosphere and great music selection. In addition, every Thursday evening from 6:45 to 7:45 they offer free Latin music dance classes. There were probably 12 to 15 people at this particular class. Definitely a great date spot. I'll mention that the food did take almost 50 minutes to come out, but overall the food and service were both good. Definitely worth a try.
