I’m very disappointed with my recent experience. I ordered dessert for myself and a friend, and halfway through eating mine, I noticed a white spot. Upon closer inspection, I realized the cake had mold on it. We checked my friend’s dessert as well, and unfortunately, it was also contaminated. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about food safety and storage practices. I hope the restaurant takes immediate steps to ensure this doesn’t happen to other customers.

I randomly stopped in here because the smell outside was heavenly. I ordered chicken and chorizo in garlic sauce and it tasted even better than it looked and smelled. The homemade sangria is so fresh and delicious. The employees were all so friendly. Thank you for a fantastic lunch experience!

This place has the equipment to be great however the dinner I received tonight was lackluster. For how well the seasonings on the whole chicken and ribs I bought were.. the chicken was dried out and the ribs were very tough. The chicken could have come off much sooner… and the ribs needed to be cooked slow and long before getting a nice bark. I ordered all 4 sides and they were good.

Hands down one of my favorite Portuguese spots! Codfish bites appetizer is tasty and melts in your mouth! Love the shrimp in garlic sauce with rice and fries. I can't get enough!

★★★★★ 5.0 Luca De Simone · Oct 2021

5 stars for price/quality ratio. This is not a fancy sofisticated bbq place, but the food is good, the portions are huge and the price is right. This is not am American BBQ: no sweet sugary fat dressing. This is plain bbq with salt and herbs. Good fries, good rice.
