  Lili's was such a heart-warming experience! She was so kind and helpful during our whole stay. We had a delicious dinner of downhome Brazilian food that fed our bodies and souls. The portions were perfect and the lime mouse was out-of-this-world silky! We played the drums and danced while she smiled and talked with our kids. This type of connection is what makes the world go round. Thank you Lili! We'll be back!

  This restaurant is EXTREMELY "mom-n-pop". It is run by Lili, and she's doing basically everything herself. And don't get me wrong, she's a great cook and a very nice lady. But I'm tempted to say "Eat Here While You Can!", just because... I mean we all know how fickle the restaurant industry is. "OM", the previous restaurant at this location, was delicious too, but they just couldn't stay in the black. I hope Lili has better luck as a small business. I hope this restaurant is open for decades. But still, just to be on the safe side, if you want Brazilian food in Chico, I'd get it while supplies last.

  We were greeted with warm, Brazilian hospitality from the moment we walked into the colorful space. It was early afternoon so the restroom was empty and it felt like we had our own private chef. Everything was delicious! We spent more than we budgeted for but it was totally worth it.

  I really wanted to love Lili’s Brazilian Bistro after seeing so many high reviews and mentions of their vegan options, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the expectations. While the food actually tastes quite good, the portion-to-price ratio is very disappointing. We spent over $40 and left feeling hungry: The Vegan Potato Ball ($6): We were surprised to receive just one single ball for that price. The Moqueca pasta: The portion size was more akin to a side dish than a main entree. The "Sandwich": This was actually just half a piece of bread served open-faced with some greens. Beyond the portions, the service was a major letdown. It took over 30 minutes to get our food, and at one point, we actually watched the staff microwave our order in the takeout boxes before handing them to us. Our server was also very confused; I had to go over my order three times before it was charged correctly, and the staff seemed to have very little knowledge about vegan ingredients or the desserts. I appreciate that they offer vegan options, but for these prices, I expected much better service and portions that constitute a full meal. If you go, just be mindful of the high prices for very small amounts of food.
