Brazilian Homemade Food in San Diego
Authentic home-cooked meals prepared with the traditional flavors of Cleuza Maria.
A taste of Brazil made with love, simplicity, and decades of family tradition — straight from our kitchen to yours.
Comida da Vovó was born from the flavors and traditions that shaped our family.
What started as our mom’s everyday way of caring for people — cooking simple, delicious Brazilian food — has become a small family-run kitchen sharing those same comforting meals with the San Diego community.
Here, everything is homemade, prepared in small batches, and filled with the warmth of home.
Meet Cleuza — The Heart of Our Kitchen
Cleuza Maria grew up in the Brazilian countryside, learning to cook alongside her mother, Maria da Glória. From a young age, she helped prepare meals using the fresh ingredients her family grew — a kitchen rooted in simplicity, tradition, and care.
As an adult, she spent many years cooking for families, always bringing generosity and comfort to every plate she prepared. Her seasoning, her calm way of cooking, and her love for homemade food became her signature.
Today, with the support of her family, Cleuza continues sharing her recipes and her warmth here in San Diego — one homemade meal at a time.
This is a small family business, but the heart of it is all hers.
