Food from Brazil has arrived in St. George. Araujo Brazilian Kitchen is open and serving up some traditional dishes from the country in a dynamic atmosphere. This is a good place for people who love food from Brazil and those wanting to try something new.

A Welcoming Atmosphere Boosted by Brazilian Culture

First off the place looks great and the menu is easy to read. There is plenty of friendly help and they are all wearing Brazilian soccer jerseys. The energy is fun and they were excited to share their food and culture.

There are meat plates where you can select the barbecue meats you want or there are some house specialty plates. I had the Tropeiro plate that featured grilled pork. It came with a dish that had beans, bacon, eggs, and other pork products.

A Flavorful Adventure Featuring Food from Brazil

All of this tasted good mixed up together with the rice and meat. There was fried pork belly in there as well and it was freaking delicious. The whole combination of food had a hearty consistency with the taste of South America.

I really enjoyed the potato salad side that came with the dish. This tastes like potato salad you might have at a family reunion, but with more flavors and vibrancy. I could have eaten a whole plate of it.

It is a fast casual place where you aren't seated but the food is served like a restaurant. My meal came out to just over $20 with a drink. It is reasonable for the amount and quality of food.

You'll find the Araujo Brazilian Kitchen in the Zion Factory Stores in the center portion located by Tacos Plaza and Borens Smokehouse BBQ that is also new. You can't miss with any of these tasty places. It is good to have Brazilian food in Southern Utah.
