“I live in the Ironbound, but the prices and quality of food is so much better here. The meat is of excellent quality and the service is great. If you come on a Sunday like I did, get here before 1pm because it gets packed quickly. The place is small but very nice. The parihada for 2, is enough for 3 or 4.“

“The space is small, but this is more of a takeout place. The portions are large and therefore you don't need to make many orders and the food is great. Everything is ready when they tell you it will be. you don't have to wait for your order for too long. I definitely recommend as a quick solution if you don't feel like cooking.“

The service is outstanding always clean neat and smiling as they serve you. The best sangria I have ever had. I have become a regular here and know the waiter and waitress names and each of them have their special way of making me feel welcomed and ready to serve. 5 Stars and highly recommended.“

“What makes Tudo Bom live up to its name is the quality of the product and the staff. The taste of Tudo Bom brings is a taste of Portugal in a place far away. I love and will continue to support them, if you are having a party I totally recommend Tudo Bom you will not be disappointed!! Good food, good service, amazing people!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“What an absolute hidden gem, very kind staff, I'd recommend the chicken on rice. It did get more fun once I spoke Spanish with them, though they speak Portuguese they understood me well and we got a lot of family-style platters for our table full of colleagues.“

“This is my first time eating Portuguese food and I must say that I had a very good experience with them. The flounder with the spanish rice and sauteed veggies were on point! I also had the chourito and camarno which is sausage and shrimp in a garlicky hot sauce which was divine! the espresso was a nice finish to the meal. I highly recommend trying it out. André our server was very nice and attentive and the chef and everyone cooked the food to perfection. Give Algarve a try!“

“Saturday September 16 came for a early dinner it was nice to sit outside . Anna Maria was our server she was very nice answered any questions. The food was very good, we had Caldo Verde soup very tasty, Chourico Portuguese sausage it was sliced thin very good, shrimp and Garlic was very very tasty wish there was more shrimp in the dish. Then we had lamb chops. They were so tender. They did give us mint sauce on the side I asked for Garlic sauce and they accommodated me. it was a different garlic sauce, then from the shrimp it was very good. Sangria was good, espresso martini was very good. I would definitely recommend anyone to check it out. Anna Maria let us know The tip was included for a party of 2 . That was very nice of her. She would’ve gotten a really really big tip, we did give her a little extra.“

“Food was really good. The beef ribs were very well seasoned. The service was great, the young man asked me how I wanted my ribs cooked and that was a surprise to me that they can cook them to my liking. The ambiance reminds me of a college town eatery which brought me back to my college days. The only issue I had is wish it was more food for a whole platter considering the price but I'd definitely go back for more“

“If you don’t want to drive all the way to Newark for authentic Portuguese food, Tino’s is the place! The shrimp garlic is soooo good. Beef ribs, clams in garlic hit the spot. I’ve tried Portugalo BBQ and they don’t compare. If you want real, delicious Portuguese authentic flavors, go straight to Tinos BBQ & Grill.“

“This place is and has been excellent! Great food, great value, great service.The beef ribs or breaded steaks are excellent!In fact, when my daughter was pregnant, a few times I went in and got her an order of potatoes... they never charged me and the owner is a great guy!You can't go wrong when there's no time to cook and you want good food!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Been here lots of times.. Great place for Portuguese BBQ. Always delicious, lots of options and a very friendly staff. You can dine in or take out.Parking: About 20 spots in the lot next to the building and plenty of free street parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“This is a small place with tons of charm. They have a few tables inside to eat as well as some outside. The food is season well. You can actually taste the firewood they use. My favorite by far was the season paella. They have a good variety of empanadas. I had beef and Buffalo chicken. They both were good with enough meat inside. You get a good amount of food. The staff is so friendly. I can wait to come back and try other dishes.“

“Let me tell you a little about this place you'd never guess in a million years it's a restaurant due to it being in an old train station building! The service is amazing and the food is phenomenal! I was working nearby and stumbled across this spot and any time I work there I come here to get lunch! I've came back multiple days in a row that's how great it is! Wish there was one close by me!“
