Customer Reviews
One of the oldest Portuguese restaurants in town. There is no outdoor seating and inside it looks like the decor hasn’t been changed in the past decade. In front of restaurant you can park but beware of beggars who hang around the place. We had the classic Bacalhau nunca chega. Huge portion (for 1 person can serve 2-3 people) and flavor was okayish. Also tried the Bife Portuguesa. The meat was tender but drenched in sauce. Service was good. Overall, a decent option in town, but there are better places around price/quality/atmosphere wise. Perhaps people continue coming here for nostalgic reasons
Very delicious, great service
The food is ok and somewhat has the old family restaurant review. However, their kitchen head Ximena was incredibly rude to customers that complained about poor quality of food delivered to them. To the point of insulting them in front of their small children. The owners at the front were mute. I also noticed that the rudeness was stronger towards locals compared to expats. I will not go back there again.
Took my father out for a treat on his birthday. He really enjoyed and we had a great time. Good food excellent service and a cold beer. What else could you ask for. Very nice place to go with family and friends.
