Red sangria is great, as is garlic shrimp. Octopus is tender and delicious. Portions are freaking huge. Try the paella! And the service is great.
Haven't been here in years and it's still as delicious as I remember. HUGE portions. Grilled octopus and Paella Valenciana are my staples but equally look forward to the bread and potato sides.
Shrimp and fried calamari were excellent
Don't miss out ordering as appetizer grilled octopus on garlic & olive oil with optionally saffron or white rice on the side Read more.
Best Grilled Octopus outside Portugal!
Fantastic food. Not a pretentious place, I'd even say is pretty modest but they know what they're doing with the food. We had the grilled octopus, shrimps Mozambique and grilled shrimps. Big portions
Fantastic tapas, and affordable by NYC standards. Octopus and crab were out of this world!
Get the grilled octopus and the pura salad and a pitcher of sangria.
Calamari w spicy chocolate sauce!
Amazing Tapas Bar!! Definitely try the patatas bravas, the Galician style octopus (Pulpo) and the broiled codfish (bacalao)
The tapas and sangria was really terrific. Save some room for dessert! The homemade flan and Spanish cheesecake were both amazing! This place is highly recommended!!
Tapas and passion fruit sangria are amazing !
Grilled shrimp and octopus with garlic was great! And say: “Yes” to the paella! Come off the NJT and enjoy!
One of the BEST Spanish restaurants in America! My fav's include Ternera a la Vasca and Mariscada. The soup is always home made.
Been coming here since I was a kid. Maria the owner is great always on top of her staff and food is amazing. Only place to find Basque cooking.
Grilled octopus; grilled wild salmon; "boat" of awesome shellfish! Friendly attentive service. Anxious to return SOON! ❤
The food was very tasty, the service excellent and the Sangria was the best I’ve ever had. Light, refreshing, fruity. It was different.
The paella marinera here is the best I've ever had.
Love both the Red and White Sangrias, Calamari for my appetizer and the Garlic Chicken Cutlet are my absolute favorites.
The place to go for great food to fit almost everyone's budget.
Have luch here daily live love love Chino makes the best drinks
Calamari with sweet chili sauce tastes good although a bit greasy.
Chicken quesadillas, calamari, and beers are great. Not a fan of garlic parmesan wings, no seasoning and very greasy. Servers were excellent. Nice atmosphere.
Any of the cheesesteaks are awesome as well as the wings. Sliders are good if you are in the mood
They make an awesome Paella Valenciana...the calamari is to die for..and the garlic shrimp is mouth watering... their Sangria is incomparable!!!
Try a pitcher of sangria! Has a bar directly next door. Very modern and upscale.
This is in Newark but it's only 10 minutes away from Belleville...I can honestly say they have the best sangria! I usually go to the bar area & always get the garlic shrimp appetizer...it's delicious!
Nice octopus special. Place is huge. Better places in Newark but they are a standard.
Great service. Great food. Gotta have some Sangria and try the Portobello Mushrooms sautéed in garlic and balsamic.
It's not a Portugese restaurant, it's a Spanish restaurant.
having tried many Portuguese restaurants, Im hardly ever impressed but this was GREAT!. Butter was soft, waiters attentive, sangria thick & delish, dessert to salivate for MAIN DISH WAS CRAVE WORTHY
Place is nice, staff is nice as well, but the bottom line is the food isn't good at all. Save your money and go elsewhere. There's plenty of Portuguese restaurants in Newark.
The Steak on Stone is amazing!
Calandra's is the ONLY place that I go to order desserts for my own family, parties held and business meetings I hold. LOVE that bakery!!!
the new deco is on.point the style is wider and they had free cookies and danish
Get there when the bread cones out IG the oven. And have butter on ya lol
Fish is flown in from Portugal every Thursday. Try the striped bass.
Winner of Best Portuguese in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The fish dishes win here, especially any served in clay pots.
Grilled Calamari appetizer was scrumptious. Roasted Cod with broccoli rabe was tasty but the fish was full of small bones. Would have appreciated if the Chef had deboned.
Love this place! Nice outdoor siting area, food is delicious! Polvo a Lagareiro was to die for!
Don't miss the Portuguese sausage, which arrives in flames.
I give this place 4 stars (out of 4). Service, food and decor were fantastic. John is the owner/host and he makes everyone feel welcome. Check out the autographed celebrity photos by the bar.
Paella Valencia was Awesome! The waiter and I made eye contact he kept smiling at me.. Lol
Everything is great. Sangria to food quality as good as any in ironbound. From basics to specials especially love the fish specials in addition to standards paella shrimp and portabello garlic etc
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
