Cafe Valencia: Brazilian Coxinha and Quibe on Valencia Street

Cafe Valencia is on Valencia Street in the Mission. They serve Brazilian food and also run a grocery store. It’s a small place with tables out front.

We got the coxinha. Fried dough stuffed with shredded chicken and cream cheese. Classic Brazilian street food—crispy outside, soft inside.

Quibe is like a dense meatball—beef mixed with bulgur wheat, stuffed with cream cheese, then fried. It’s savory and filling.

Esfirra is a light pastry that rounds out the meal. They also sell Brazilian groceries—ingredients, snacks, and drinks.

Valencia Street has more options if you’re exploring. Alnico for brunch, Taishoken for ramen, Dandelion for chocolate.
