That is because it's missing a '/' after the predicate:

(//Menu)[1]/ancestor-or-self::Menu/MenuTitulo

The Xpath itself isn't very good because (//Menu)[1] selects the first
<Menu> element of all <Menu> elements in the whole document, returning
at most a single node.  The ancestor-or-self::Menu axis on that node
will only ever return that same node back, so:

(//Menu)[1]/ancestor-or-self::Menu/MenuTitulo

Is the same as:

(//Menu)[1]/MenuTitulo
