| - I have been to several other locations but I wasn't nearly as impressed; the service, food quality and price here far surpass the others.
Located just on the outskirts of Little Italy off of College it can get rather busy which makes the street parking a little irritating at times, however the food is well worth the hassle.
I have never stayed for my meal, I always opt for takeout due to time constrictions however I will say the venue has intrigued me enough to want to dine in on future visits. The interior layout is long and a little on the small side but spacious tables and seats seem to make for a comfortable and intimate dining experience. I think one of the nicest features of this restaurant is the patio, I haven't had the chance to fully check it out but it looks charming, located at the very back of the dining hall.
The food is reliable and delicious with portion options and amazing prices.... I was actually shocked by the price for 2 half chickens, small Parisian potatoes and veggies came out to $13 something ..... IM SERIOUS! I thought it was a mistake and I'm bad with exploiting opportunities like that so I insisted they got the price wrong. I ended up leaving the rest for tip cause I was really that shocked, no joke.
They have the BEST hot sauce too, I'm not really into super hot things, I've recently been trying spicier foods yet I'd still consider myself a novice. This hot sauce is full of flavor but not burn your mouth off bad, it has a bit of oil in it which helps to calm the heat I think but it also leads me to a negative point to make. Much of the food is on the greasier side here, they put oil in almost all their dishes which can be a bad thing; I found the veggies very oily and bland for example. However I still found the rest of the dishes savory and delectable!
Besides the excessive oil I will say that some of the chosen decor like pictures for example are a little off putting. I know it's the culture and the very thing I'm going to be consuming BUT I do not wish to see a skewered pig being roasted regardless of how tasty the dish may be after I still don't find it appetizing, but this is if course a personal thing.
My last negative point is one I make carefully as it is another personal issue and I feel doesn't directly affect the restaurant as a business. Although I do not speak Portuguese I was with someone who does and they mentioned that much of the conversation going on in the open kitchen was particularly disrespectful to customers, more so the female ones and being a woman I'm not sure how comfortable I would be dining alone in an environment like that
Otherwise I highly recommend this place for delicious and affordable traditional Portuguese cuisine
