This place used to be so good. I recently ordered a DoorDash pickup, and the food quality was really disappointing. The fries tasted like they had been sitting out for hours, and the coxinhas were super dry as well. I ordered an X-Frango combo, and it came with nothing more than grilled chicken, mayo, and a single slice of tomato. Definitely not what I was expecting. Not sure what happened, but the quality seems to have gone way downhill. Really disappointing.

First of all the açaí at this place is sooo great. I discovered it after having my daughter's 3rd birthday party at Doce de Leite. They have a really nice space inside at the back of the restaurant separate from the main area, for private parties. They offer good service packages including a buffet, waiters, and they also have a kids' area. I was assisted by Patricia from beginning to end. I rented the space for the party and she was responsible for preparing the entire birthday buffet (with her own hands). Everything was sooo wonderful! Besides being a great cook, she is a very honest, organized, and helpful person. She cooks very well; everything she makes is delicious, especially the prestigio cake and the passion fruit juice. Patricia is the heart and soul of that business. My family and I became customers of Doce de Leite because of her, she always treats customers very well with much love and care as if the business were her own. Everyone loves her, including me. She is certainly and will always be the best employee of that place. Thank you Patricia for providing us with a wonderful party with so much delicious food and excellent hospitality ❤️
