Brazilian Joe's

We have several good South American options for eating in this area, and Brazilian Joe's is definitely one of them.  I stopped in to try it out the other day and was very pleased.

I started off with a Guarana soda, a very refreshing drink that is a little like ginger ale, but not much--really you have to try it.  I ordered the loaded yuca fries and a Brazilian hot dog.  While I waited for my food they brought me a fried polenta sample.  This was excellent, little fried cubes crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.  Would definitely order them.

The loaded yuca fries are amazing--topped with white American cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, sweet corn, black beans, Sriracha ketchup, Tzatziki sauce, and bacon.  We know yuca here as cassava--nothing like the yucca plant! The fries are crisp on the outside and firm, holding up well to all that topping.  A delicious blend--the candied jalapenos are unique, I can take or leave them but definitely different.

The hot dog is quite a sandwich.  Come hungry for this one, it's actually two large hot dogs split on a crusty panini with cream cheese, grilled onions, sweet corn, and mayo.  It was good, but the hot dogs taste just a bit dull like they are boiled.  They would totally rock if they were put on the grill for some caramelization.  Very satisfying.

For dessert I had the brigadeiro, a chocolate fudge you eat with a spoon.  You get a small portion, just a salsa cup, but it finishes the meal nicely.

The place is very child friendly, with a play area and a beautiful changing table in the bathroom.  That bathroom is quite clean and ready to serve.  For those of you who play, the mural inside is a PokeStop so you can do a little Pokemon farming while you enjoy your meal.  I would definitely come back.
