Ordered a tray of cubed Beef and a tray of cubed Pork. Fed 5 of us with leftovers. Really tasty and comes with Rice and Fries. Woulda been nice to have the fries in a separate container.... Highly recommend!!
The food was outstanding and the portions were huge. Our server Alexandria was terrific!
I just discovered this place recently, the food was amazing ,I had the best chicken breast in lemon sauce ,the shrimp garlic was delicious I definitely recommend it
Service, food and atmosphere was amazing! I request the lemon chicken and the shrimp plate, absolutely delish!
I got food for delivery during a snow storm. Everything was great when it came. Chicken and ribs perfectly cooked with bite through skin on the chicken instead of the rubbery chicken you usually get with delivery. Great flavors
The service was excellent, Zully was my server and she was the best. The food is to die for, you should definitely come here. The salmon is delicious!
Excellent Portuguese food! BYOB was plays with a liquor store across the street. The chorizo was great, bbq chicken on pint and the beef ribs were delicious! Leftovers were taken home! Not expensive but what you’d get back “home”. Aidima was friendly with a great smile and service.
Server was excellent.. food was good. Food for the price was good.
Just had a really great meal there. Tried a bunch of things on the menu, from bbq chicken, pork ribs, beef ribs and chorizo to mixed veggies, rice and red beans. Everything was very flavorful and cooked right. Server Alexandria was very friendly and helpful and our group had a great time. Definitely recommend the sautéed chicken with garlic as a real flavor explosion and the empanadas were very crispy and delicious.
Small place with great food. Wait staff is friendly and efficient.
