"The homey, bright yellow exterior of the restaurant sets the stage for what you’ll discover inside — joy delivered through food and drink. Owner Victor Pereira teamed up with partners Magda León and Natalia Neves to celebrate their upbringings in Portugal, Guatemala, and the Azores through the menu and León’s art, which is prominently featured on walls. Options on the tapas-style menu include baked goat cheese in a tomato garlic sauce; tacos stuffed with fillings like pork chorizo and nopales (cactus); tinned fish; and littlenecks steamed with white wine and cilantro. Pair the feast with a caipirinha, glass of Azorean red wine, or a flight of the restaurant’s namesake Portuguese brandy." - Erika Adams, Jenna Pelletier
