OK, I don't know what came over us, but we finally took the plunge and ordered from Salgabom snacks. It's a magical place with an atypical menu that combines fried cheese empanadas with smoothies and açaí bowls. It checked most of the boxes of my desires. Yes, you read that correctly, they have fried empanadas. They have vegetarian options of cheese and pizza, stuff with meat that didn't register with me, and banana caramel if you're in a sweet mood. We ordered the cheese but I will will admit that I was interested in the pizza one. I was really craving something fruity and refreshing so I ordered an açaí bowl with açaí sorbet covered in granola, banana slices, and honey. They come in small, normal, and super big. Tina ordered a dragonfruit which is the same exact thing as the standard one but with dragonfruit sorbet in addition. So gooooooodddddd. UPDATE: I found out just now, prior to my second order, you can choose TOPPINGS. They have a bunch of fruit options (cherries, strawberries, kiwi, GRAPES), chocolate, pb, choco chips!!!!!, chocolate "ball", chocolate SAUCE, m&ms, etc. One of the most popular items is something called mini snacks. I had no idea what that could possibly be but I'm intrigued by anything that's particularly popular on the menu. It comes in increments of 15, 25, 50, 100. This Even more mysterious now. What on Earth? What would someone want to buy 50 or even 100 of? We ordered 25 of them. The food came very quickly. The empanada was massive. Like it was double the size of my head. I got my hands on that sucker and I pulled it apart, revealing a nice string of cheese between the two sides. The açaí bowl was GREAT. The mini snacks. First impressions reveal churros in munchkin form. It's crisp on the inside and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I bit into it. A warm filling was propelled into my mouth. Caramel. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW. holy shit. There are no more words. Now I understand who orders the 100 and it's me. I am at so glad for the existence of this place read more

Very nice authentic Brazilian restaurant takeout we met the owners 2 elderly Brazilian natives who have been in the business for awhile. They were extremely friendly and helpful we ordered almost 300 of the mini snacks which they were able to give to us before they opened for a baby shower. Food was awesome for the price it's reasonable considering it's made in house mini snacks were very good and flavorful burgers there are awesome huge come with fries and a drink which compared to similar restaurants increases the value a lot. We'll be regulars there now read more

Went here for the first time- they have so much variety! I got a chicken and cheese empanada and it was delicious- the staff are so friendly! The man behind the register gave me a sample of the açaí while Al waited and it was delicious! I would absolutely go back and try more stuff! read more

I had only been to Brazilian steakhouses before so I didn't really know what to expect. I had ventured into the area with my boyfriend for a yelp event at an escape room so we decided to grab food before heading home. There were so many options to choose from and was debating between here and an African restaurant with 5 stars but decided on here. It was interesting, everything was very fried and kind of greasy but tasted pretty good. The the cheese balls were probably my favorite, I found the turn overs to not have enough filling just a lot of fried dough. The burger had fried potato sticks and corn which u never seen before but it was good. Kind of big. The price is good but not cheap cheap. I do have to say the service was good. I probably wouldn't go back but I would recommend to someone who has never had Brazilian fast food read more

So after looking at all of the reviews about this place I decided to check it out. The customer service was great. Looks like this is family run by an older couple. The lady was very friendly and sweet. I ordered the everything burger meal with a passion fruit drink. This place is definitely a snacks place... very high in calories. The burger has a lot on it, decided I'd check it out. It was flavorless no salt pepper or anything. I had to go home and add some sauce to make it taste decent. The fries were nice, crispy on the outside. The passion fruit juice was interesting. Didn't taste like passion fruit juice. Also the churros also lacked flavor. They were freshly made so they were very hot when I ate one. Decided to let them cool more thinking I'd taste something. Didn't taste anything but the condensed milk (caramel) inside, not even the cinnamon sugar on the outside. The food had an interesting taste to it, like something was it in that shouldn't be. ‍ idk. I give this place three stars because it's as advertised..cheap snacks. read more

Went here with my friend and it was our first time trying out the menu here. We ordered the churros, empanadas, sugarcane juice, and other stuff. My friend really enjoyed her churros. It was hot, fresh, and very delicious. I really like how big the empanadas were and the amount of filling that they put in. Honestly, the staff was very attentive and friendly. Definitely will come here again and be our usual spot. read more

Calling all açaí addicts!!! You will never find a better açaí bowl than at Salgabom. I tried açaí in many different locations and states but none come close to Salgabom. A little pricey but totally justified. They add a layer of fruit cupuacu which takes the açaí to whole another level. read more

Salgabom Snacks is a gem located right off of Shrewsbury Street. Usually we just get their excellent mini snacks (you can't go wrong with churros filled with dulce de leche), but last night we decided to try their more substantial offerings. I got an empanada with hearts of palm and cheese, and my husband got the Brazilian Sausage dish. Generous portions (the empanada was the size of my face), and so tasty! We also got churros, because of course we did, and they were, predictably, excellent. Don't miss their cheese balls, either! read more

I came here a couple of years ago and had a tilapia meal with a friend. I wasn't impressed, but I thought maybe snacks are their specialty and not full meal items. On a whim, we ordered a couple of churros today, and they were awesome! These were the best churros I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Soft yet slightly crispy, decadent filling, sweet with a bit of savory taste, and the cinnamon brought everything together. If I knew how good the snacks here were, I would have come more often. Will definitely be coming back once in a while! read more

Small hole in the wall with little gems inside. From the x-tudo (cheeseburger with everything possible inside), pastels (fried ground meat turnovers), to your choice of cozinhas (fried croquettes). This place is a hot spot! Snacks made fresh and very delectable! Sweets to savory, you can't leave without feeling satisfied. Great deals on food and the place is VERY clean! Hope can you not want to try this place out?! Did I mention they have an amazing açaí bowl?! Win win! read more

I came to this place because i heard they have mini churros!!! I got a box of 100 for about $20. Bite sized churros filled with dulce de leche(slowly heated condensed milk, very similar to caramel), fried to perfection and then tossed in cinnamon and sugar. Slightly crisp exterior with a soft/sweet surprise in the center. The box was absolutely worth every penny, highly recommend. Haven't come back to try anything else on the authentic Brazilian menu. Definitely a hidden gem!!! read more

Salgabom Snacks is a little hidden gem of Worcester. The establishment is well kept and staff is always so welcoming. I have gone here a couple times and the quality of food I is always consistent. ..consistently awesome! The açaí is to die for! No one does açaí like salgabom. The portions are great for their price. Parking is a little limited, but people are generally in and out quickly. I recommend stopping in and trying their best dishes! read more

This gem off of Shrewsbury street is owned by a cute little Brazilian husband and wife. I've lived in Southern California for many years--so I know good Açaí--and these guys have some of the best outside of Brazil. Every bowl and item is made with love and everything comes fresh. I also like the mini churros and if you get an açaí, try it with peanut butter. Service is always with a smile and they treat their customers well. Thank you! read more

the guy "running" this location is just rude and inconsiderate, the acai cup should not be served the way it is, filled to the absolute top only being held together by the lid. so good luck eating it without all your toppings spilling onto the ground... Don't even try asking for an extra plastic bowl to dump your mess of ingredients in because that guy will refuse to give you a PLASTIC BOWL... this place would be better if he was able to give half decent service read more

Pior experiência que tive na vida em um restaurante brasileiro, em meio de uma pandemia, milhares de pessoa morrendo por dia, e o restaurante INTEIRO SEM MÁSCARA! Tanto a pessoa atendendo tanto as pessoas dentro da cozinha, e ao reclamar o dono foi totalmente ignorante. Pedi o dinheiro de volta e mesmo depois de toda a confusão, tanto o dono, tanto as cozinheiras nenhum se importo em colocar as máscaras, vergonha. So far, the worst experience I had I my whole life, every single one of the people working there, had no mask on, even the people making the food in the kitchen, even after I explain that we are in a pandemic and all precaution are not enough, no one cared, got my money back, and even after all the discussion, no one, even in the kitchen or at the front desk bother to wear a mask, this place is ridiculous and the honor super rude. Don't come here for not even a water read more

It's supposed to be acai with Acai Vanilla Bowl Traditional (16oz) but it's just acai and asked to not put granola, banana and honey, cause I have an allergy (granola) And don't like banana and honey, so I tried to send an email let then know about it cause I can't eat and I put in the trash and my money? Never come back. The answer? Nothing. Never give me an answer about it..so I'm sad cause I was a customer a for almost 1 year and I really love this place, the mini fried and rissole it's awesome, really good stuff and the guys always be so much nice, so I'm disappointed if I can put no one star I put, sorry read more

If you're craving delicious Brazilian fare, look no further than Salgabom Snacks! There are so many choices that I decide to order a variety of snacks to quench mine. Mini fried cheese empanadas, mini fried ground beef empanadas, mini kibbeh, and mini chicken croquettes. They were all even more delicious than expected! The only thing I'd change about my order would be the decision to order chocolate mousse on such a hot day. Sadly, it liquified during its trip across town, but do not fear as it will not go to waste! It's currently chilling in the fridge until it sets again. The addition of a small bag of free popcorn will be perfect when combined with the chocolate mousse. Who doesn't love the combo of savory and sweet? And, the portions are so generous that I will have snacks for days! I'm looking forward to sampling some of their other tasty treats in the future. read more

Absolutely love this place! They have the best, freshest, most authentic açaí bowl around. I totally recommend ordering a bowl to share with a friend or even for yourself for a real Brazilian treat. They have tons of other Brazilian grab and go food such as cheese bread and croquettes. They also do burgers, brazilian style of course, and an assortment of fruit juices like acerola or cashew fruit, crepes, sweet treats like brigadeiro. It's all I can ask for in a small shop like this although there are times when my cheesebread or coxinha has been sitting out for a while but that's on me, I should know to come at an earlier time when everything is the freshest! Everyone has been nice and welcoming even though a place like this caters to mostly the Brazilian community. There was this one time, a lady at the cash register didn't give me my $5 in change back, and I just assume she didn't really understand how to handle cash because she's possibly new, didn't speak English, and handles cards most of the time. A little taken back by this but I can forgive it since I usually tip anyway, but $5 can actually get you a lot in this shop!! So I think from now on I will just pay with card to avoid this issue.. haha read more

New place for us. Decided to give it a shot. Loved a number of the assortment we tried. The churro bites were awesome, cupuasso, which I had no idea what it would be, was delicious. Mousse was quite good, we will be going back to try more interesting little tid bits read more

The food here is incredible!! The açaí bowl was the best I have ever eaten, and the owners are the kindest people ever. I am always greeted with huge smiles when we walk in and the food is so worth the price. Cant wait for their new location!! read more

Unlike other Brazilian restaurants that have coxhinas sitting in an incubator display sitting for who knows how long, this place makes them to order. The churros too! A cute little grandma gave me my order to go with a smile. You know the food is authentic when a cute little grandma steps out of the kitchen! Service was great, place looks clean and everyone was friendly, including other customers. I'll definitely return. read more

Terrible service. Same branding, same everything as the other salgabom in worcester, but doesn't have smash burgers. My girlfriend ordered online and thought the website simply only had smash burgers since there was no mention of it despite it being one of their schticks, and explicitly said in the note that it should be a smash burger and not include cheese. Salgabom gave her a regular burger not a smash burger WITH CHEESE and didn't think to tell her. They didn't think to call while the order was being prepped, they didn't think to email the included email in the online order, they just gave her the e food and hurried her out. When we returned home to find that it is NOT what we asked for, we called and the manager didn't even speak english... no offense to people to can't speak english, but in a CUSTOMER FACING JOB he spoke such little english that he couldn't speak to us and had to communicate through an aide/random employee. The manager told us that the item "wasn't on the menu" and thus we wouldn't be receiving a refund and HUNG UP ON US!! 0/10, Salgabom will never be getting our patronage again, this has been the worst experience I've ever had with a restaurant and I've had waiters insult me to my face. read more

I was coming in from out of town and had an intense craving for brigadeiros. Not knowing a single thing about the area, I pulled out my phone and searched the closest Brazilian bakery and up pops Salgabom. The reviews mentioned the churros and it intrigued me so I stoped by. I was greeted by friendly staff but was too busy being googly eyed at the desserts. I got a few brigadeiros and the other milk ball but I couldn't just leave without trying the churros. I got a cup of 15 and was on my way. The churros were freshly fried and warm but not piping hot - filled with condensed milk in the center that instantly melts as you bite into the center. I had an hour ride back home and I ate it all in ten minutes lol. As for the brigadeiros - they were okay but churros are the true star of the show. Now I'm conflicted because I'll have to hike out to Worcester to get my churro fix. Also shoutout to the cute lady behind the counter teaching me Portuguese read more
