| - This place came highly recommended by my cousin, so we went to give it a try while I was visiting the big t-dot. We were early so the place was fairly empty, but by the time we left, it was packed and people were waiting outside!
The place itself is actually a lot larger than it looks from the outside, our servers was nice but really busy by the end, and their sangria was delicious. The only thing I knew about Portuguese food was Portuguese curry that's normally served in Chinese restaurants, so I figured this would be the best place to learn something new.
I wish I had read the yelp reviews beforehand so I would know what to order, but since the restaurant pick was on a whim I had no choice but to fend for myself with the menu. We ended up sharing three plates (the tiger shrimp, cod, and red snapper). We also ordered their cheese appetizer and calamari appetizer. The cheese is fantastic, it's so mild and goes great with that chili sauce they give you. The cod came out dry, and the red snapper was extremely buttery, but the shrimp was fantastic.
Overall, it's a decent experience for someone who's never had anything remotely close to authentic Portuguese food. If you've never been and wanted to try, this may be the place to start.
