How to Order Brazilian Savory Snacks at Salgabom
How to Order Brazilian Savory Snacks: Coxinhas, Empadas and Salgados at Salgabom Snacks in Worcester, MA
If you have ever walked into a Brazilian lanchonete and wondered what to order first, you are in good company. Brazilian savory snacks, known in Portuguese as salgados, are some of the most welcoming foods in Brazilian cuisine, and the names can look unfamiliar if you are trying them for the first time. This guide walks through the savory side of the Salgabom Snacks menu and shows you how to build an order for lunch, an afternoon snack or a casual gathering in Worcester and the surrounding area, whether you pick it up or have it delivered.
What Are Brazilian Savory Snacks?
Salgados simply means savory snacks. In Brazil they are the food of everyday moments: a quick bite with coffee in the afternoon, a plate shared at a birthday, or something to pick up on the way home. They tend to be small, handheld and fried until golden, which makes them easy to share and easy to eat without a fork. At Salgabom Snacks the savory lineup is built around that same idea; everything is made to order, and the menu keeps the classics next to familiar favorites so first-timers and longtime fans can order from the same list.
The Salgabom Savory Lineup
Coxinha, the Brazilian Chicken Croquette
Coxinha is where most people start, and it is a Salgabom signature. It is a crispy Brazilian chicken croquette made with seasoned shredded chicken wrapped in dough, breaded and fried until golden. Salgabom serves full-size coxinhas in traditional chicken and chicken with cream cheese, so you can keep it classic or add a little extra richness.
Fried Empanadas
Crispy Brazilian-style fried empanadas, freshly made and packed with savory fillings. They are an easy crowd-pleaser and a natural partner to coxinhas when you are ordering for more than one person.
Mini Snacks and Churros
Bite-sized Brazilian favorites and crispy churros bites round out the savory side with something small and shareable. They work as a quick treat on their own or as the sweet note at the end of a savory spread.
Appetizers and Sides
When you want to turn snacks into a fuller meal, the appetizers and sides do the heavy lifting. The lineup includes Steak with Onions and Fries, Mini Pork Ribs, Fish and Chips made with fried tilapia and tartar sauce, Chicken Fillet with Fries, Chicken Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, Yuca Fries, French Fries, White Rice and Pinto Beans. Where a side is described simply as fries, it means French fries, and Yuca Fries are the option when you want to switch things up.
How to Order, Step by Step
If you are new to Brazilian savory snacks, this order of operations keeps things simple.
Start with a coxinha. Choose traditional chicken, or chicken with cream cheese if you like a creamier bite.
Add a shareable. Fried Empanadas or the Mini Snacks and Churros give the table something to pass around.
Build out the plate with appetizers and sides. A round of Chicken Wings, Mozzarella Sticks or Yuca Fries turns a snack into a meal.
Pick your drink. A Brazilian savory order tastes even better next to a cold Caldo de Cana or a fresh natural juice.
Decide pickup or delivery, and place your order online.
Building a Spread for Lunch, Snacks or a Gathering
The nice thing about salgados is how well they scale. For a light lunch, a couple of coxinhas plus one side is plenty. For an afternoon snack, one shareable basket between two people hits the spot. For a casual gathering, mix a few categories: a tray of coxinhas, a batch of fried empanadas, a couple of appetizers and sides, and a few drinks to pass around. Ordering across a few categories instead of doubling up on one item gives everyone at the table something different to reach for.
What to Drink With Brazilian Savory Snacks
Drinks matter here, and Salgabom keeps a distinctly Brazilian list. Caldo de Cana, also known as sugar cane juice, is a classic Brazilian drink squeezed to order and traditionally enjoyed with Brazilian snacks. If you want something fruit-forward, the natural juices are blended fresh, and the smoothies and milkshakes are a good match when the table wants something cold and creamy. Any of them pair comfortably alongside fried and savory foods, which is exactly why they show up together on Brazilian menus.
Pickup or Delivery in Worcester
Salgabom Snacks serves Worcester and the surrounding area, and ordering is set up for both pickup and delivery so you can enjoy salgados wherever you are.

If you are planning for a group, ordering a few shareable items rather than a single large one keeps the spread balanced.
