This was always a favorite lunch spot when I worked nearby - the Portuguese grandmother I never had, cooking me awesome lunch almost every day. They’re definitely listed in Portuguese travel guides, judging by how many Portuguese tourists are always there. Smart. Some even BYO it with some wine - I love that touch, too.

Best Brazilian Panini's in town. Love the service.

In terms of texture and appearance this is probably the best pastel de nata in Newark. Crispy crust & a creamy but set golden custard that reminds me of Manteigaria in Lisbon. However, it's a bit too sweet.

Update 5/1/23: Been here a couple more times with my parents and they also enjoyed it a lot. There's a lot of variety on rotation, and I continued to get the beef slices. They may look a bit dry sometimes, but was tasty and not too dry all 3 times I got it. My mom loves their bowl of soup ($3). Bottled water is $1 and soft drinks $1.50. You can pay with card or cash. Original review 2022: At $9/lb, their meal is great value! It's Buffet style, so sanitize your hands and grab a plate or a takeout container and pick your choosing! The price is different if you only take fish/meat ($17/lb), or fish/meat + salad ($15/lb), or salad/fruit only ($8/lb). Basically, if you want to be charged $9/lb you need to have at least around 50% of your plate consisting of sides, and the sign says that sides includes rice, potato, veggies, beans and salad includes lettuce, carrot, onions, tomato, and beets). There's a separate counter for salad/fruits, including a Russian salad (potato based salad with mayo). Would the Russian salad count as salad or as side? No idea! For my first try, I chose rice, beans, broccoli, peppers, grilled beef, and a bit of Portuguese sausage and what I assume to be so
