“Ponto de Encontro is a small family-owned Portuguese bakery and deli found in Hillside. As is expected of a Portuguese cafe, they make delicious coffee and espresso. The owner was very friendly and makes you feel warm and welcome! The menu overhead lays out prices and sandwich options, such as the Portuguese breakfast staple, the tosta mista. For baked goods, which are homemade, I noticed that they had pao de deus, bolo de arroz, and pastel de natas. For savory snacks, they have bolinhos de bacalhau (codfish balls) as well as a variety of flavored empanadas and croquettes. I went for an espresso along with a nata and a bolinho de bacalhau. The nata was excellent - a defined crisp crust and the perfect amount of filling and creaminess.“
“The food over here is good of course nothing compared to the bakeries of Boston. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I do wish they had a larger selection of pastries and breads but for being the only Brazilian bakery in the area it is what it is. I will definitely return after the holidays hopefully to find a larger selection.“
“The location inside the restaurant is small but they have space for people to come in and eat. You can ever order food to pick up as well if your not the type of going in and eating inside restaurant.The food is very good but just a little bit pricy but i would still go to the place because of the quality.The service and staff are very friendly so please go to Taste of Brazil and you would love it.Parking is kind of hard to find so you would have to look for parking around the area somehow and would walk to the place.“
“The restaurant offers a wonderful selection of authentic Brazilian dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving.The highlight of my meal was the churrasco-style grilled meats and the grilled octopus, which is a must-try dish. The octopus was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, making it a standout item on the menu.The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a lively atmosphere that added to the overall dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal.“
“Absolutely fantastic. My partner has celiacs and it was so special to be able to go out for a really nice meal and share our food without worry. The food came out quickly, it was delicious, and the service was great. I will absolutely be coming back and will be recommending it to everyone!Dietary restrictions: Fantastic Gluten Free food!!!!!“
“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. I love the coxinhas, the x-frango is a great sandwich and the pastelão is the best. Sometimes I order one of the party trays of mini coxinhas if I ever have to go somewhere and they're always a hit. 10 out of 10, would recommend any day.“
“This restaurant is delicious!!!!!I had a very tasty and fresh sausage today! All the food is very delicious and I love it when I can stop by this place, I know there is always something delicious to eat❤️I also love their pudding❤️❤️❤️“
“Excellent food in a very cozy and Brazilian atmosphere. We ordered a mixed barbecue for 4 and everything was delicious. We were served by Natalia, super attentive and polite. For dessert we had pudding, delicious.It's worth eating there.“
“A friend and I stopped by after driving for hours looking at apartments. We were just hungry and desperate for good food. Divina Frontera exceeded any expectations we had. We came around 6-7pm and everything we ordered (which was a lot) still came out fresh and delicious. I must say one of the things I’m most excited about moving to Elizabeth is being close to this gem.“
“Small place but saw the ratings and thought my wife (who is Brazilian) would give it a shot for breakfast. The food was made fresh and was it ever delicious ?. The crepe with Carmel, bananas and cinnamon was RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS.Parking: Parked across the street, easy to find and walk over.“
