Brazialian Paletas, I Drive

I stopped by this place because the waiter at Boi said it was a Boi Express. It WAS. It isn't now. You'd think he'd know. It's in the corner of that strip mall that is on the left side of Kirkman. I stopped here to see if the rumors of the malls' tear down were true (they say it isn't) and to get some pizza at the place that replaced Big Italy. It turns out that place is only open at night (and owned by the Boi people). Back to Paletas -  It's a Brazilian popsicle and hamburger/hot dog joint. They have some religious/Chicago connection. The place seats around sixty. It seems way to big for what they serve. They have been open for a month. The owner says she makes her own popsicles. They looked artisanal. They were $3. I had a Dog Bacon for $4. It was a beef hot dog smothered with mashed potatoes, bacon, mayo, potato sticks and corn. It was very good. Nothing tasted nuked. The mashed potatoes were real. The bacon was chunky. They have a variety of dogs and burgers and one chicken sandwich. It looks decrepit, but, maybe they will fix it up. At least the have the caring part down.
