I’m from Los Angeles and married a Brazilian from Maringá. We came here with some of my wife’s friends the last night in Maringá and what an incredible experience! I’ve tried many burgers in Maringá and all over in Brazil and they were always big...burgers, but usually well done and not juicy and tasty like the burgers you can get in LA. However, when we tried Casa da Mae Joana it changed my mind. We shared 5 burgers for 4 people and they were all huge, perfectly cooked medium, juicy and delicious combination of flavors! My favorites were the Costela (rib) burger and the Cheddar Bacon burger. So so good. The look of the Cheddar Bacon will make you drool like an commercial on TV. They also make fresh kettle chips with a variety of dipping sauces including a Guava BBQ sauce, spicy sauce, and the same creamy cheddar sauce from the burger. I could swim in that cheddar sauce. BBQ sauce was also my favorite. Sweet and smoky. I’m a gringo haha, so Caipirinhas are my thing every time I visit Brazil. They make the BEST Caipirinha I’ve ever had anywhere. They crush leaves from a tangerine tree instead of fruit. Genius and so tasty. I had 3. Great restaurant with fresh gourmet burgers, chips, and drinks. Would highly recommend you check it out.More
