I was initially kinda scared to go in cause the place is a small convenience store in the front. I’m so glad I decided to eat there cause the food was damn delicious. Portions are huge, food is super tasty, service is great. The only issue is the place is literally the back part of a convenience store so if you can look past that you’ll enjoy some of the best Portuguese food around.

The atmosphere is more of a delivery than restaurant, but the service and food were very good.

I ordered bike steak 43 dollars today and the beef was so hard that it couldn't even cut it with knife. Please more respect for what people pay

Octopus was amazing. Everyone else loved their dishes too. Classic Portuguese food and experience. They even had the TV on. If you've been to Portugal you know. It was great.

Live 1-2 minutes away, has to be some of the most flavorful food around. The garlic chicken is amazing and their fresh baked bread! I absolutely recommend for some tasteful Portuguese food. Amazing for take out, food will be done in 15-20 minutes ALWAYS.

We called J J for a same day table later in the evening around 7:45 pm and they graciously accommodated us even if we ended up being the last ones there on a weekday. The food was delicious and extremely well priced! The service was good and everyone was friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious: the chicken, cod and seafood stew. Definitely a hidden gem and we will be back!
