This restaurant has only been open for 3 months but I'm already a huge fan. The staff is warm and friendly and I even learned a few Portuguese words while I was there. I ordered the oxtail served with polenta, rice, fried plantain and salsa. OMG!! It was absolutely fantastic! Probably the best I ever had. They only serve it on Sundays. I will definitely be back for more!

The environment is simple, but the food is delicious. It fulfilled all my expectations. In addition, the costumer service is good. I’m definitely coming back.

This place is a taste of home, and it is so refreshing to go back to real, delicious and healthy eating. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd highly recommend going!

They have lunch buffet start at 10:00. Everything on the buffet was delicious. It's pretty cheap as well. You can choose all you can eat buffet or just one plate buffet by the weight. They have bakery product as well. I tried the doughnuts filled with caramel and it was delicious.

Wow. Are you kidding me. All these yrs I have driven by & I finally walked in. Low & behold Meal was amazing. This will now become a go to place for lunch.

Food was well. But we were charged full price buffet while given only half of the menu. We arrived by 1130am, and the rest of the food was brought put around the time we were leaving. Charged 10$ for one cup of orange/beet juice which i thought was ridiculous. Owner wanted to charge of for 2 kids under 4 who barely ate about half a cup worth of food. First time here, and Will not be coming back.
