If I opened up a Mexican cantina?

Question

Hello I was wondering if anyone has ever opened up a Mexican cantina in Copacabana or in Sao Paulo, serving good Mexican style dishes like enchiladas verde with fresh bonless chicken and fresh cooked shrimp with Monterrey jack

and a little sour cream, of course in a tortilla and chopped cilantro coveredwith a light touch of green salsa. also their could be a bar that serves drinks as well alcohol or no alcohol.

Would it be succesful I could put the menu in Portugese and the price reasonable. Could it work? Please if you can post nice comments with no neggativity please thanks.

Answer 1

Granted, it has been several years since I lived in Brazil, but I would have loved to have had a nice Mexican restaurant to enjoy.  

There are many cuisines available in Brazil, particularly Sao Paulo and Rio, but when I lived there, Mexican cuisine was not around.

I think folks there would be very interested in Mexican food - it is quite different from what is typically considered Brazilian food.

Answer 2

Yeah!

I would go for sure!

As long as the place looks good and clean, I don't think there would be any problem.

Answer 3

In Brazil, Mexican food it´s not popular, but in big international cities like São Paulo and Rio you have a good chance, if you know how to handle food business.

Here in São Paulo, I know at least two Mexican restaurants that are always busy.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I can't say with market knowledge, but I guess would work, I never heard about a person that does not like Mexican food. Just make sure to recognize your goal public, that I also guess should be like class A and B as economic level.
