Portuguese Tavern: Reviews & Ratings
Had a fantastic experience at a Portuguese tavern!!! Exceptional service and incredible meat dishes! A few dishes were on the house, and they were so tasty! Tiago was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!!!
Great food, fast service, great prices, the staff is super friendly and I love the inside of here, they have a bar/casual side as well as a nicer dining room. Highly recommend this place for just a night out or a special occasion.
Constantly delicious and plentiful The best baccala and grilled octopus their paella can feed 3 people loaded with seafood and delicious rice
Portuguese Tavern is THE spot for take out. It's a restaurant but also has an updated section for takeout. I ordered the chicken and rib combo- delish! Chicken is so juicy and tender. Has a great charcoal taste. Ribs are so tender and filling. Generous portions and affordable. Fun fact you have the option of ordering this platter with chips instead of fries for additional cost. I prefer the chips but this meal was catered to my visiting family! You can place your order via phone and do a quick pick up. Keep in mind during holidays they do tend to get busy. Must give this place a try!
My boss and a few coworkers pickup food from here every Friday. They get generous portions and seem to love it. I ordered the vegetable paia. For 17$ I got a large tray of food and got about 5 meals out of it. I appreciate the aluminum container which is 100% recyclable. I can't believe that anybody uses styrofoam and single use plastic utensils, I won't be going back for that reason alone.
The food was amazingly delicious, white sangria was out of this world tasteful, the service was great and very friendly, and the ambiance very relaxing and family-friendly.
The food is very good, I love the sangria . Friendly atmosphere. The staff is very nice people. I recommend this place Come n enjoy ...
The girls and I got together to get dinner and wanted Portuguese. When we arrived I parked in the private lot. We walked into a nice restaurant. Adolfo was our server, and he was great. I started with the red sangria, which was only $7, and it was tasty. For my meal, I got the mussels and a side of yellow rice. They both were so tasty! My friends got the cod and the stuffed snapper, and they said they really enjoyed it. It also looked so tasty. The bill was super affordable, and I enjoyed my time.
