São Paulo is a large inland city in southeastern Brazil. Its varied restaurant culture includes Mexican taquerías and kitchens combining Mexican techniques with Brazilian ingredients.

Taco culture
A 2026 Folha report on LosDos Taqueria describes carnitas tacos alongside more experimental fillings and a crisp potato flauta. This gives a concrete starting point for tacos in São Paulo without inventing a national Brazilian taco style.
Metzi, a separate restaurant, describes its broader cooking as a dialogue between Mexico and Brazil. The carnitas image is a representative illustration of the pork taco, not a plate photographed at either restaurant. Consult the linked sources and current venue menus when planning a visit.
