Why Travelers Love Joaquina Bar
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.6 / 5.0(4,981 reviews)
My plate was absolutely delicious! We would have loved a menu in English or Spanish to explore more options, but the easy choice we went with ended up being fantastic too. Joaquina stole our hearts. My best friend and I stumbled upon it during our trip to Brazil in August, and it quickly became our favorite place. We went back FOUR times. The staff treated us so kindly and were always attentive. This place will always linger in our memories. I’ll be dreaming of Joaquina forever 🫶🏻. Great food, fast service (a little over attentive), nice selection of food and very tasty. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed our experience at Joaquina! Some staff member spoke English which made our lives easier. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the shrimp stew and cheese steak.

Food was so good! We killed everything we recieved. Definitely go for the rice balls. I think this is the best authentic Brazilian food we had the entire trip that wasn't purely steakhouse. Our waiter was Cilas and he spoke English very well.
