If you like Spanish Portuguese food, this will satisfy whatever you feel like steaks to chops to fish to Mariscos 🦀. I took an order of garlic pork chops which were delicious and a great value to go for dinner later! The waiter I don't know if I'm spelling it right, Solo was terrific and attentive and he had a full bar to deal with too! I will probably go there today again!

My husband and I travel from Pennsylvania every time to eat the delicious Portuguese food at this restaurant. The service is excellent, attentive and friendly.
Highly recommended!!!
August 2025
Good Portuguese restaurant. Food was delicious, good sangria. Middle range prices. Personally I think it has certain coziness, but it must be because I don’t like that “modern” style/look. A few TV’s one of them really big. Few tables, and bar area. Small bar/restaurant. Service is okay. Only issue with me is that the area is very busy, hard to find parking in the street and yes, you can park on their driveway, which it fits about 6 cars or so, but you have to keep moving...
