soup kitchen
I have translated many studies about "restaurantes populares" and always used the term "soup kitchen."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_kitchen
A soup kitchen, meal center, or food kitchen is a place where food is offered to the hungry for free or at a below market price. Frequently located in lower-income neighborhoods, they are often staffed by volunteer organizations, such as church or community groups.

Brazil's popular restaurants operate alongside schemes such as fairer prices for farmers, food baskets, food banks, food stamps, free school meals and restrictions on junk food advertising. In 2010, the right to food was enshrined in the Brazilian constitution. While problems remain, UN estimates point to radical reductions in poverty and food insecurity in Latin America's largest country.

: I wish! We have food stamps for grocery stores, but no support for people to eat outside the home.
