Our group loved this restaurant. We felt like we were home from the moment we entered. The server was very attentive to our needs and took time to answer our questions as novice Portuguese food eaters. Fall River has should be proud to have this restaurant in their city. I'll be back.
Waitress was amazing and so nice no complaints, food was great and not slow at all. Even has mango smol, it was a great time
I have been here many times - service and food always excellent. We love the kale soup, Portuguese steak and all the seafood.
What a great meal! We had little neck appetizer which was delicious. I had Chicken Angola it wad perfect Service was ecveptional. Great family run restaurant. A must for Portuguese food
Great food. Very reasonable prices with large portions. Good drinks. There is like a bar side that’s a little less formal that seems to be self seating and then the other side of the restaurant is a bit fancier. It was a bit too salty for my taste and the egg on the Bife a Chefe was well done but was otherwise perfect.
Amazing grilled swordfish special and grilled shrimp with bacon!!!! Can't wait to go back to try their other grilled items. The grilled food had such a nice smoky flavor. It would be great to add the shrimp to the appetizer menu and the fish to their regular menu...because it was lovely!! A must try!! The chicken wings were delicious too. Free parking in their lot. Call ahead for reservations! Great fast service and nice portions! Looking forward to returning soon!!
I eat at Portuguese Restaurants all the time . TA’s blew me away . The food was excellent , the waitor great. Prices are pre covid ! I can’t wait to go back ! The Chichen Angola was a 15 out of 10 ! First picture is shrimp & bacon grilled , next is beef & shrimp,& last is the amazing chicken Angola ,& a dessert with Maria bisquits
I ordered Portuguese kale soup for an appetizer baked stuffed shrimp and a triple chocolate mousse cake for dessert. All the food was excellent and I would eat here again. The reason why I gave the food 4 stars and not five is only because the baked stuffed shrimp came with 3 shrimp and most places come with 4. The reason I gave the service four stars and not five is because the restaurant was not super busy, and I never received my appetizer after I pointed it out they brought it after my main course and I ended up taking it to go. I felt like because it wasn’t that busy. It should’ve been forgotten. regarding the atmosphere. I noticed that everyone had candles on the table but none of them were lit. I feel like that would’ve helped have a romantic atmosphere, and attention to detail is important. All of these things would not be a reason why I wouldn’t go back. I would definitely go back to this restaurant is it just things that I pointed out and observed. The food was delicious and the waiter was friendly..
Food and service were amazing great place.
Elegant atmosphere with beautiful antique stamped tin ceilings, wall sconces and chandeliers -makes it very romantic and cozy. We usually get take out and always pleased with the shrimp Mozambique. Dining in have a new favorite which is the seafood sizzler. It's absolutely delicious including calamari, scallops, shrimp, chicken, pan fried potatoes and sauteed peppers with a sweet brown sauce that reminds me of Chinese food a bit (in a good way!). Portions are generous. The cocktail list has all the classics and TAs own specialty cocktails. All are at a great price and made well. Cheers to that! 👍🏼 🍸🍹
