This longtime favorite Ironbound Spanish-Portuguese restaurant is popular with locals who come for it's exceptional food.
It's Spanish-Portuguese food is amongst the best in Newark, and diners come here for no other reason. Their decor is dated, and not very attractive. It is the least touristy restaurant in the area. They are conveniently located near the NJPAC.
The dinner starts off with a basket of fresh baked bread from a local Portuguese bakery.
They offer outstanding fresh fish, and depending on the early morning's market purchase, the evening's dishes are prepared and the selections are presented on a chalkboard.
They offer many varieties of fish dishes, along with many meat dishes that include pork chops, tripe, and chicken, each with a different sauce.
Check out their soups, they are also excellent.
The staff is friendly and attentive.
Despite having a reservation, expect to wait for a table on busy weekends.
