| - Wow. I cannot believe how unexpectedly delicious this place is. I entered with high hopes and Costa Verde did not disappoint. I hope yelp changes their platform to give half stars because I'm rating this place a 4.5
Here's what I liked: clean interior, modern atmosphere, relatively spacious atmosphere and upbeat music
Here's what I loved: the food. I got the half chicken, rice, macaroni salad. The seasoning on the chicken is addicting. Salty, slightly tangy and smokey. Cooked right and still very juicy. The rice was very flavorful and had a bite to it.
Here's what I didn't like. The rice, despite being delicious, was too salty. It overwhelmed the chicken and created imbalances to a perfectly cooked bird.
The sides were too small and not as filling. I recommend giving a bit more sides to fill up the box or use a smaller box to appear larger.
Bonus, after our meal, the two of us decided to get a couple of Portuguese tart. The employee was describing it and i blanked out. Next thing I knew, I was walking out with half a dozen. It was the best impulse buy I've ever made. I'm no culinary expert, but if I'd have to describe these tarts, I'd call them the "crack of culinary".
Just take my money, you're food is very good.
