I’ve been visiting this incredible Portuguese restaurant since my college days, and it has truly become a cherished part of my life. Even though I’ve never been to Portugal, dining here has made it a top destination on my bucket list! The food is nothing short of exceptional. Back when I ate meat, I couldn’t resist their delicious sausage and perfectly cooked steak served with rice and beans—truly a meal to remember. Everything is always made fresh, which means it might take a bit longer, but that’s a small price to pay for such quality. The wait staff is consistently friendly, making each visit feel welcoming and warm. The ambiance radiates authenticity, and I love the vibrant atmosphere that captures the essence of Portuguese culture. I have so many wonderful memories tied to this place, from celebratory dinners to casual meals with friends. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Portuguese cuisine or a newcomer, you won't be disappointed. I can’t wait to return soon and create even more memories at this fantastic restaurant!

So disappointed by what i got. This is supposed to be bife à portuguesa. It came with no egg & I also kindly asked to add extra giardiniera but no sign of it either. what is supposed to be a garlic gravy taste more like straight oil. The potatoes were just too bad to eat and not to mention the steak was supposed to be medium, but is was more burn than anything.The person who handed me my order literally just threw it at me spilling all that oil in my clothes & gave me an attitude when i asked for hot sauce. food was colder than the north pole. When it shouldn’t have been since i picked up my order exactly 15 mins after i placed it. Lesson of the day always check ur food before leaving the restaurant so u won’t be disappointed.

I order consistently via Uber Eats and they never fail. Great portions and amazing flavor. Tonight they brung a tear to my eyes. I always right a note for bread, hot sauce & bbq. I end my note with God Bless. They ALWAYS fulfill my request, but they didn't have bbq sauce. No big deal because they took they time to send me a note. I found this to be touching & THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! Whoever wrote this note has no idea how this small gesture touched my heart tonight. God bless the person who took the time and bring them forever peace & joy. 🫶🏾❤️ I ate some of my food before I noticed my note... the portions are great!

Nice little hidden gem in Elizabeth. A corner bar and restaurant we have been going to. A family owned business. Inez, the restaurant manager is a sweetheart who always welcomes her regular Patrons. Daily specials and always crowded. Parking is a challenge with street parking spaces. Right off Rt. 1 & 9. Prices are reasonable and generous portions. Update: Things have changed. For the regulars they will know the changes. Update: no changes. A good place. Update: haven't see the parents (owners) or their children but, familiar staff. Service and food still top notch
