A new Brazilian restaurant dubbed Brazuca Cafe is set to open its doors at 901 S Coast Dr in Costa Mesa later this summer according to a liquor license application recently filed with the city.
By press time, Brazuca Cafe’s owner had not returned What Now Orange County’s request for comment.
According to a website for the business, Brazuca’s menu will feature a reliable slate of regional favorites including Coxinha and Kibe, croquettes prepared with shredded chicken and beef respectively, as well as Risolis, or breaded and deep-fried empanadas filled with ham and cheese, and a variety of thin-crust pies known as Pasteis, with fillings ranging from beef and chicken to cheese and hearts of palm.
Meanwhile, a selection of sandwiches such as the Queijo Quente and Misto Quente, grilled chicken and grilled steak plates served with rice and beans, and desserts like a stuffed churro, flan, and Brazilian truffles will also be available.
