The Backstory
Indigenous Brazilian food dating back centuries. Originally a plain flatbread, modern versions have endless fillings. Now a popular street food and breakfast option.
Local Secret
"Get it fresh from beach vendors early morning. Sweet combinations (banana + Nutella) are delicious but savory (cheese + jerky) is more traditional."
