"Ambiente simples e decoração regional como se espera. Comida raiz, sem ‘gourmetização’. Porções bem servidas. As carnes derretem na boca, mandioca sequinha e crocante. Todos muito simpáticos e prestativos. Vende artigos regionais como o famoso refrigerante Jesus. São dois andares e não tivemos espera em um sábado."

"Pedimos a entrada de queijo coalho a milanesa, e de prato principal, carne de so à picui. Tudo que pedimos estava excelente, mas o contrato file de sol estava um espetáculo a parte! Os atendentes muito atenciosos e educados. Vale demais a visita."

"A Favorite for Delicious Nordestino Cuisine I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid growing up in the neighborhood, and it remains one of my favorites. The staff is incredibly friendly and always helpful, making every visit a pleasant experience. The food is absolutely delicious. We usually order the carne de sol with side dishes—a must-have every time. And I can’t leave without their pão de alho (garlic bread), which is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. They also offer a variety of juices made from unique fruits that you can’t find everywhere. It’s the perfect place to enjoy authentic nordestino cuisine from Northern Brazil. Highly recommend!"
