Favela Chic - New Orleans

If I could give this place fewer than one star, I definitely would. True to its name, "Slums of Rio," the food is terrible and seems to be catered to intoxicated patrons—it's only decent if you're inebriated. This establishment preys on unsuspecting tourists, hoping to capitalize on the popularity of the few excellent spots on Frenchmen Street. Those who manage to avoid this place are truly fortunate. There are far too many fantastic restaurants in New Orleans to waste your time and money here.

Last night, I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and an empanada, and I really enjoyed both. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I liked the various rooms featuring different DJs. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely come back again.

Wow, the shrimp tacos were fantastic, and the beef quesadilla and beef tacos were equally delicious. The drinks were great, and the bartender was really friendly. It took a little while for the food to arrive, but this isn’t a fast food place, so good quality takes time to prepare.

Quitutes Cuisine is noted for their authentic Brazilian food and they have been located in the New Orleans suburb of Arabi, LA at 6617 West Judge Perez Drive for awhile but now they are reported to be moving to a new location in New Orleans at 525 Frenchmen Street (although the Arabi location still seems to be going). This New Orleans restaurant has become popular for their authentic Brazilian food that offers many traditional Brazilian dishes not seen on many other area Brazilian restaurant menus which results in very interesting options for their food. In Brazil quitutes is the name for delicious small bites of foods and Quitutes Cuisine has long been one of the most affordable Brazilian restaurant options in the area. They offer an extensive menu with enough items to please nearly any taste. Overall Quitutes offers friendly service, decent food and can be a lot of fun so it is a good option for when you are in the mood for more authentic Brazilian food.

Nice place to go with kids. Scene visible from everywhere inside. Also a few tables outside with views inside. Very basic options for eating, but good drinks.
